ID OSTMASTER GENERAL Frank H.
i Hitchcock is having a hornets
nest of time with the medical, SCI
entiAc and other societies of like char
acter whose publications he is trying
to rule out of the mails at the cent-a-
pound rate. For years societies Of this
character have been availing them
selves Of this privilege under the law
of 1879, but about year ago the
postmaster general served notice on
them that unless they changed their
method, they must pay the rate of an
other class, or about five times az
much as they are paying now.
The societies made vigorous protest,
in consequence of which Mr.. Hitch
cock has held his order in allegiance.
The house, in the meantime, passed
the Dodds bill, to give publications is

MEASURING FISH BY THE EYE
u Is ouesswork and Most Men Go
Far Astray az to tho
Length.

Not every man can measure fish &c
curately by eye. Many people are apt
to make their guess too big, and then
there are many who, misled by the
tapering head and the diminishing tail
end Of the fish, are apt to make 1t too
small.
Here was a little bunch of men out
fishing for blues, and presently one
pulled in a handsome and fair-siZed
fish. Then somebody started guessing
at the length of 1t and one guessed
two feet and another four and still
another three feet. Then a man in
the boat who was familiar with fishes
glanced at this blue and said that he
guessed 1t would measure two feet
and half; whereupon man in the
party who had a tape measure in his
pocket got that out and put the tape
on the fish; and 1t actually measured
81 inches.
There was just one man in the boat
who could measure a fish accurately
by the eye.

A Nautical Christening.

Some years ago a slow sailing ves7
sci, when some 600 miles from Liver
pool, picked up a lusty youngster OF
five years dashed to mast.
The captain took great liking to
him, called him his son and decided
that the little chap must be chris
tened-one Of the few things which
he knew must be attended to In the
case Of children.
OF course there was no chaplain
aboard, so the captain himself under
took the ceremony. He gathered the
men about him, and with a mixed
knowledge of his duties, he glared
about him and asked whether any
one knew just cause why the boy
should not be christened.
IF there is" he roared, speak up
like a man or forever hold your
tongue"
Then he suddenly cracked a bottle
of wine over his head and christened
him
The ocean waif is now settled down
"a steady longshoreman, but he still
relates with satisfaction the story OF
his christening.

Motor Regulations In Japan.

The regulations for motor traffic In
Japan are neither long nor compli-
Gated. In case of vehicle being in
the street In an unsafe state 1t is the
duty of the police to order II to stop
or to allow 1t to proceed only after
defects have been remedied.
Speed is limited to eight miles an
hour. save in Yokohama, where the
speed limit is six miles. Motors must
not race. When cars meet they must
slow down. When q motor meets a
procession, a funeral or fire engines
proceeding to fire. 1t must pull up
and take another route. Violation of
these rules will be followed by fine
or Imprisonment. The regulations are
not quite so Draconic as they appear.
for the Japanese streets are very mar
row and abound in picturesque and
capricious turnings.

WHY WOMEN GO TO PRISON
Most Of Them Err Through IdIcness,
Unwise Marriages, Ionorance, Youth
and Frlendiiness.

The causes that bring women to
prison are seldom Of personal or even
Of direct moral significance. Women
seldom use their wits to break the Law,
nor do most OF their crimes demand
a quick intelligence. They are In the
main the result of lack Of training
in trades, inconsidered marriages, ig-
norance, youth, friendlessness, the
general INCLUDED condition Of girls;
unemployment, low wages. over
crovding in tenements. nervous tenn
sion, and the high-pressurc life OF the
average female factory employe
These and other like causes produce
the so-called artificial offenses, such
as inebriety, unruliness and minor
breaches OF the law which are most
~ the result of overstrain. 1t has oft
en- been said that the barometer OF
crime rises as that of prosperity fails,
and this is particularly true as re-
CARDS the crimes Of women. The thou
sands of women factory workers In
every manufacturing city are never
more than a few days from actual
want. Given a period of overproduc-
tion or a depression in trade. and the
women's prisons fill with these de-
spairing, idle workers In New Eng
land, when the factories are running
with a full force of operatives, there
is decided slump in the prison pop
ulation, for all goes well with even
these weaker spirits so long as they
earn enough to eat every day and
have a place to sleep every night

Prisons" by Jeanne Robert, in the
