MAGAZINES BY FREIGHT.

Magazines and other bulky period
icals, after July /, will be transport
ed by the postoffice department in
carloads as fast freight. Postmaster
General Hitchcock is developing as
rapidly as possible plans which he de-
cided upon last December to utilize
fast freight trains in the t~ransporta-
ton of magazines when practicable,
ana in instances where a saving to
the government Transportation may
he effected.
THE plans l have decided upon"
says the postmaster general. "are
not proposed as a solution of the
pending controversy over the sug
gested increase Of the second-class
mail rates on the advertising sections
of magazines. but they probably will
tend to bring about a solution of that
question the more easily"
The q~uadrennial Weighing of the
mails in the third contract section
of the country, comprising the states
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Mis-
souri,, Iowa and Missouri, is now in
progress.
Beginning July l periodicals that
can be transported in carload lots by
fast freight through the section
weighed, without disadvantage in de-
livery, will be carried in this manner
and paid for at freight rates. The
weights of the periodicals taken dur
ing the present q~uadrennial weighing
will be excluded from the basis of
adjustment of transportation pay for
the four-year term on the railways
effected.
Distributing terminals have been
established in Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago, st. Louis,
Omaha, st. Paul and Cincinnati
Through matter that can be handled
in carload lots will be sent through
the weighing section by freight and
such additional distribution as is ne
cessary before the matter is delivered
to other railway post office lines will
be done at the terminals.
Arrangements will be made with
the publishers for a finer separation
in the publishing offices, and for an
earlier mailing of their matter so
that the slower method of Transport
tation may Vt affect the regularity
or promptness of its delivery.
I'VE expect" says Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock, "to effect considerable
economies, not only in the actual cost
of transportation of the matter, but
also in the railway p~ostoffice car pay,
IN the section that is now being
weighed, and. as the other sectionss
are weighed and the plans adjusted

Sinnla Gle.

When the lndlau> travelled together
they seldom wall ID or rode two or
more abreast. but followed one another

some that this practice resulted from

them to make their way through woods
and around rocks by narrow paths If
this were the real reason for the prac-
tice, then we should expect to find that
the tribes who lived in open countries
travelled in company, as do whites
The true reason for journeying as the
Indians did in single file seems to be
q feeling of caste. This feeling was

Clever Crows.

In a garden q dog was eating a piece
Of meat in the presence of four covet-
GUS crows. They evidently said a great
deal to one another on the subject. and
now and then one Of them tried to pull
the meat away from the dog. which
he naturally resented. At last big.
strong crow succeeded in tearing off
piece with which he returned to the
tree where the others congregated. A
long powwow now ensued. which end
ed in all four crows flying down to the
dog, the leading crow dexterously drop
ping the small piece of meat within
reach of his mouth. The dog immedi-
ately snapped at 1t, unwisely letting go
the big piece, which was seized by two
crows and carried TO the tree. where IT
was devoured with much fluttering
and hilarity. while the cheated dog
walked away with every appearance
of discomfture.-St Louis Globe Dem

Feate of Archery,

ancient times. 1t is of record that the
MacRaes of Gairlock. Scotland, were
such skillful archers that they could
hit man at the distance of 500 yards.

London shot an arrow. in a field near
that capital, AS yards against the
