George ", who becomes the ruler or

ship or collect postage stamps than
administer tho affairs of a nation.
George has a strong sense of humor,
which often breaks through the IN
tense reserve of his character one
of the earliest. authentic stories OF the
king concerns a visit to Windsor as
a small boy to sec Victoria. The lat
ter was a strong disciplinarian, and
George, who was restless and stub
born. frequently felt the weight OF
her displeasure.
When breakfast was served the
queen ordered him to retreat under
the table as punishment. George dis
appeared and remained quiet for iif-
! teen minutes When Victoria asked
| him if he would be good, George re-
piled meckly in the Affirmative, where
! upon he was permitted to emerge. The
| Queen was speechless with astonish-
/ ment when the prince crawled out
naked, having stripped and piled his
| clothes neatly underneath. The same
| quaint sense OF humor frequently
! cropped out.
His love Of children Is also quail

and suggesting reforms for the fam :

his personal attention even to such

matters. a member Of one of the lead
ing firms OF underwriters in London
to-day stated that while it WAS impos-
sible TO make any definite estimate on
the figures of the aggre gate sum In
volved, 1t would almost undoubtedly be
found that the total risk at Lloyd's
was no larger than that involved in the
insurance OF a large ship, and the loss
to be met therefore, would be no
larger than was frequently sustained
in the ordinary course of business.
So far as what may be described as
are concerned, the sums involved are
not large, for even before Edward as
cended the throne the big life insur-
ance companies fesoutelY refused to
increase their then already large risks
on the royal life.

THE POSTAL DEFICIT.

Postmaster General Hitchcock makes
a highly creditable report. Under his
management the postal service has
been efficient and progrcssive-save IN
this city The deficit has decreased,
aud he is anxious to wipe it out alto,
getber.
The chief cause of the remaining de
felt, is the rural delivery. He does
not want that restricted, but expanded,
and the carriers he would have carry
parcels, for consideration, This is d
good proposition, and the people will
endorse it, But even so, be would not
expect to make expenses meet by this
means.
il Is TO tho magazines that he looks
to recoup the fuanccs of the Depart
mcnt. and make both ends meet He
has dropped the idea which he pushed
last wear, that all second class postal
rates should be raised. apparently for
the reason that it has been shown that
its way, carrying nothing TO the deficit
side. But the magazines, he thinks,
and especially their greatly swclled ad
vertising bulk, should pay special rates
on the weight added by the advertising
pages He expressly disclalms any de
sire to add TO the cost of legitimate
mailing matter, and so elimi mates the
newspapers from his recommendation
for higher rates for second class mat
ter. We imagine, however, that it may
be found difficult to separate the ad-
vertising pages from the magazines for
mailing purposes, without separating
the magazines themselves from that
advertising: for the freedom Of the
mails is what makes the magazines de
sirable TO advertisers; aud il would be
difficult to frame law that would
make n different rate for one part of
magazine from that on another part.
We imagine that Congress will be
likely 10 pat the Postmnster-G General
on the head. commend him for bis good
work in cutting down tho deficit to
the low point it has reached, and con
cIude that a little more good work in
the same line will make the deficit dis.
appear altogether, and then there will
be 10 cause for anybody to worry about
postal rates
