Tho Use of Esquire.

The recovery of letter which had
been sent to little town In Germany
and never delivered to the person ad-
dressed cured the writer of the Gus
tom of adding Esquire" to a name
on the superscription of mail matter.
The letter in question would probably
have been promptly delivered had the
address read simply "Mr. John
Brown But the sender had addressed
It "John Brown Esquire" and the
communication rested comfortably in
the 90" compartment of the poste res
tante department, waiting to be called
for by "Mr Esquire" One of the pop
ular guide books warns against the
use Of ESQ.," saying that it might be
mistaken for name.

MAIL POUCHES.
They Cost From a Few Cents to Thou
sands of Dollars Each.

SdnGS VI SGhaIS .aS'"
Uncle Sam has twenty-eight differ
ent kinds of mail bags in service, ana
they range in cost from % cents to
81. 156 each. There are mail pouches
for almost every conceivable use, ana
you can ship almost anything that
comes within the postal regulations
with a minimum of loss and breakage,
says Harpers Weekly. Probably the
most peculiar mail bag Is the one ar
ranged for carrying bees. Sending
bees by mail was difficult operation
before the bee bag" was adopted.
Usually the bees arrived at their des-
tination dead or so exhausted that
they were of little use. Now these
little honey makers can be shipped 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 mate
rails. The cheapest are Of cotton and
the most costly of leather. Those used
on fast expresses are REINFORCED with
metal so that they can be flung from
fast moving trains without damage.
Even then these bags, or catcher
pouches" do not last much more than
year and half, while some of the
cotton bags used for the work will re-
main In 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 tanks.
In the far frozen north special bags
are made for sled transportation, and
In. the cities a bag in use for pneu-
matte tube service is made of COM
position called "leatheroid." The or
binary cotton mail bags are woven so
closely that they are practically wa
terproof, and in the weave there are
thirteen 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 65,O00,OO0 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 bag hospitals, where
tens of thousands of them go every
week One such mail bag hospital re-
pairs upward of 5000 day. These
