1t remains true that the POST
Office Department needs, more than
any other large enterprise in the
United States, to have a thorough
overhauling and to be put on a busi-
ness basis from top to bottom.
There is dire need of a director of
posts-a permanent official who can
perform the functions of a general
business manager. 1t is also neces-
sary to reorganize the business,
county by county, throughout the
country, in order to unity the sys
tenn of postoffices and delivery SER
vices. 1t was expected when the
Taft administration came in that the
Weeks-Carter bill for reforming the
postoffice in a business sense would

highway. The bridge had now be-
gun to fall and is ''too rickety even
for rat," according to the Mil
ford farmers. The protesting citi-
zen were Samuel Thomas, Henry
Tribbit, T. Maloney, William C.
Maloney, George Macklin, Herman
HOlleger and Edward Hollenger.
Clerk William Parvis and Mr.. Thorn
as acted as spokesmen. Commissioner
Cain moved that the court make it's
own plans for the bridge and build
it at Greco's expense or fill up his
canal, but the court thought best to
give the promoter another chance

be promptly enacted into law. Pres
ident Roosevelt was in favor of it
and so were Postmasters-General
Cortelyou and Meyer. 1t would be
interesting to know precisely how
that admirable measure came to be
sidetracked. There is a widespread
and iustifiable demand for a general
parcels post, and the beginnings of
some such service are likely to be
made. If only the Weeks-Carter
bill had been passed two or three
years ago, so that the posotffice
could have been put upon business
basis and delivered from political
scandals the taking up of new
things like the parcels post would
have been more promising. There
is no need of finding fault with Mr..
Hitchcock personally for conditions
which he did not create. Party
management and the administration
of the postoffice business are two
functions that cannot be united in
one person without disadvantage to
the country-From "The Progress of
the World" " in the American Re-
view of Reviews for February.

Friday was "Ground Hog Day
and if there is any credit attributed
to the saying. the weather conditions
directly following would seem to
indicate that there is six weeks
more of winter in store for US. 1t
is interesting to note the origin and
effect of this superstitious notion.
Phe Yonkers Statesman says: "The
farmers of northeastern America
and Canada have an abiding faith
in the grounding or woodchuck as
weather prophet and they watch
eagerly for February 2 and the ap-
pearance of the little animals that
they think are more reliable as fore
teners than all the high salaried
scientific men employed by the
Government put together. The
popular idea is that if the ground
hog sees his shadow on the ground
when he comes out of his hole. he
goes back again in a twinkling, as
he knowns that there will be at
least six more weeks of cold wealth
er. If there is no shadow he frisks
about pIayfully, and shows keen en-
ioyment over the welcome news that
the backbone of winter has been
broken.
''In all part of the world Candle
mas Day has for ages been asso.
ciated with weather prognostica-
--tiaasv----Ln Germany -there- are two
proverbial EXPRESSIONS on the sub
iect, 'The shepherd would rather
see the wolf enter his stable on
Candlemas Day than the sun, and
THE badger peeps out of his hole
on Candlemas Day and if he finds
snow, walks abroad; but if he sees
the sun shining he draws back into
his hole. 1t is thought that the
superstition of the badger was
brought to America by the Germans,
but as there are few badgers east
of the Mississippi the idea was at
tached to his 32d cousin, the ground
hog.
"The religious observance of
Candlemas Day is followed in the
Roman Catholic and Anglican Greek
churches. In the Roman Catholic
Churches it is the custom on this
day to bless all the candles that are
to be used in the church services
throughout the year. In some
countries candles are distributed tC
the entire congregation, and the
people march about the Church il
solemn procession. 1t is universe
custom for every Catholic family tt
procure one of the blessed candle
and keep it in the home for use Of
occasions of serious illness when tn
priest is called to administer tn
last sacraments.
''The burning of candles is j
special favor among the Italians a
a means of showing a devotions
spirit, and some of the candles use
by them are of huge size, ornament
ed with gold leaf and blended color
ed wax"

age, but experienced a number of Pc
culiar and painful sensations. The
chief of these and the most trying was
q feeling of pain in the bones of the
hand and arm.
The pain increased steadily. 1t was
located chiefly in the interior parts Of
the arm and was far less severe in the
portions near or at the surface. The
skin was purple when the member was
withdrawn. In about ten minutes a
violent reaction set in with violent
burning sensation Of the skin wherever
it had been exposed.
Investigations carried on with dogs

to death is not necessarily an unpleas-
ant one. Placed in a temperature OF
-125 to -15O the animals displayed
quickened breathing and heart beats.
with decided rise above normal in
the blood temperature. These signs
pointed to a sudden and violent auto
matte effort Of the heart to preserve
the bodily temperature. In spite of en-.
ergetic heart action the temperature OF
the blood fell gradually to II degrees.
At this point the heart action ceased
very suddenly.
The sensations of bodily warmth and
languor mentioned in descriptions of
death by violent cold can easily be un-
derstood in view Of the above expert
ments.-New York Sun.

Schooner George May Saved

The Schooner George May which
sunk last November off the Bahama
Islands, has been raised by
wrecking crew after hopes of saw
ing the vessel we're abounded. The
vessel was sailing from Galveston
Texas for Philadelphia with cargo
of hollow iron water pipes. Be-
cause of the attraction of the needle
of the compass, the navigator in
charge of the vessel was led to be-
lieve that he was in a different
position on the ocean than what he
really was, with the result that the
vessel foundered. The vessel will
be towed to Philadelphia for re-
pairs. She was built at the Abbott
Shipyard, Milford, in 1900 and is one Of
the best constructed schooners en-.

A SERMON TO THE CLERGY
What Laymen Want is for the Clergy
to Lead All Time

One of our subscribers submits TO
us the following Churchman'S SER
mon" which appeared recently in
the Baltimore Sun and which he
thinks timely and to the point. The
sermon reads: "At this time
much attention is being given to the
Men and Religion Forward Move
ment. 1t would appear from the
addresses made that men are lax as
to their religious duties and oppOr-
tunities. For one who has been en-
gagged in Sunday School work all his
life, l do not believe the men ars
lacking, hut that it is the clergy
very decidedly. / do not believe
there is any clergyman in Baltimore
who will say that the men of his
parish have been unwilling to help
him in any effort of his to spread
Christ's kingdom. What the men
want is for the clergy to be the
leaders, not for day, week, or a
month, but all the time. The men
want to see the clergy use their
tongues less and their feet more.
Who today hears of the pastoral
call? The salvation of mankind
cannot be done from the pulpit, but
in the home. What do the clergy
know of the home life of their par
ishioners, of the lives of the boys
and girls of their parish, growing
to manhood and womanhood? Wha
opportunity have the fathers ant
mothers to talk to their pastors
about their boys and girls? Whel
we think of Christ's life upon thi
earth, and of the life of the averag
clergyman of today, it seems to m
that the clergy and not the me
need to be aroused. Let the clerg
spend less time in their studies an
more in the homes.
