GroundIess Pleasure.-Leslie

GroundIess Pleasure.-Lesiie M
Shaw, at the recent banquet OF the
Commercial Travellers league, said OF
a silly argument against a great Amer
ican merchant marine:
This argument is groundless. 1t re-
minds me, really. of old Mother Tai
iaferro.
Mother Taliaferro lived in dugout
in North Carolina near the line. When
the boundary between North Carolina
and Virginia was changed it shifted
the old woman's dugout into the latter
state.
We'll. mother said surveyor to
her you don't live in in North Carolina
any more. You live in Virginia now.
How do you like it?"
Like ito said the old woman. Why,
I likes it fine, O course. Everybody
knows that Virginny is a healthier
state than North Car'lina.' '"-Philadel-

UNCLE SANS MAIL BAGS.
Where They Come From, Where They
Co and What Thew Are Made or

Uncle Sam has twenty eight differ
cnt kinds of mail bags in service and
they range in cost from % cents to
$2,156 each. There are mail pouches
for almost every conceivable uSe and
you can ship almost anything that
comes within the postal regulations
with a minimum of loss and breakage.
Probably the most peculiar mail bag
is the one arranged for carrying bees.
Sending bees by mail was difficult
operation before the bee bag" was
adopted. Usually the bees arrived at
their destination dead or so exhausted
that they were of little USE Now
these little honey makers can be ship
ped by mail several thousand miles in
the bee bag" without suffering. and
can obtain air and good supply Of
food during their transit.
Mail bags are made of various ma
terials. The cheapest are of cotton
and the most costly of leather Those
used on fast expresses are re-enforced
with metal, so that they can he flung
from the fast-moving trains without
damage. Even then these bags, or
catcher pouches" do not last much
more than year and a half, while
some Of the cotton bags used for the
work will remain i'm service upward of
ten years.
In parts of the west. where the mail
must be carried for many miles on
horseback, special pouches are in use
for singing over the animals nanks.
In the far frozen north special bags
are made for sled transportation, and
in the cities bag in use for pneuma-
tic tube service is made of a compo-
sition called "leatheroid." The ordi-
nary cotton mail bags are woven so
closely that they are practically water
proof, and in the weave there are thir-
teen stripes of blue. Each country
marks its own mail pouches in some
| individual way, so that if one gets
lost in a far country its ownership can
be readily detected.
Nearly $4,000 900 mail bags are used
each year by the whole country, and
as they are being worn out all the
time the supply has to be kept up.
There are mail bags hospitals where
tens of thousands of them are going
every week. One such mail bag hos
pital repairs upward of 5000 a day.
These crippled bags are in all sorts of
dilapidated conditions. A railroad
wreck may injure several hundreds or
thousands and these must all go to
the hospital before entering active
life again. Christmas is responsible
for much damage to the mail bags,
owing to the hard service they get,
and Immediately after the midwinter
holiday season several hundred thou
sand bags go to the hospitals.
Mail bags are the most travelled of
all articles in use today. They are con-
stantly moving, and it would he i'm
possible to estimate the number OF
miles a bag ten years old has travel

A Kind King.-King Edwards good
nature was illustrated the other night
by a London correspondent at the
Press club in New York.
The king" said the correspondent
was visiting Rufford Abbey, and one
morning, in company with his host
Lord Arthur Savile, he took walk
over the preserves.
Suddenly Lord Arthur big, burly
man, rushed forward and seized a
shabby fellow with a dead pheasant
protruding from the breast of his coat
Sir said Lord Arthur to the king
this fellow is a bad egg. This is the
second time I've caught him poaching.
But the kings handsome face
beamed, and he laughed his gay and
tolerant laugh.
"'Oh, let him 60 he said. If he
really were a bad egg, YOU know, he
wouldn't pOach.' .'"-Detroit Free Press

"Where There's a Will
There's a Way."

This is an old saying, you have heard
it all your life perhaps: yet it is true.
In nothing does it apply with more
force than in the matter of saving
money. VIII to save and it is not so
hard, spending is easy.
You can't have your pie and eat it
too" is also an old and true saying,
and will apply to you can't have your
money and spend it too" Spending
money may give you a great deal of
pleasure; yet some time should it hap
pen that you have run down to your
last penny, your need then might
cause you worry enough to more than
offset all your past pleasure of spend
ing.

gest. to you the Importance of saving
some of your money. it is our pleas

What THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood,
They work night and day When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left i'm the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain i'm the back, headache, nervous
ness. hot dry skin. rheumatism, gout,
gravel. disorders of the eyeSight and
debility, drowsinesS. dropSy, deposits
i'm the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
