goes into effect January 1, and is
causing much concern to all the
poetmasters throughout the land. II
will mean in most cases that they
will have to have a great deal more
room than at present, and Postmas-
ter Bailey is wondering how he is
going to get along in his two-by-
four quarters.
The details will have to be work
ed out a little later The regulations
will be somewhat complicated when
practical application is made, for
the reason that the bill is founded
on the zone system instead of a flat
rate, in other words, there is a
graduated scale of charges accord
ing to the distance the parcel is to
be carried. the charge increasing as
the distance increases.
The postoffice department has no,
vet fully outlined the measure There
will be many regulations to be
made before it can be put in oper-
alton january 1,1913.It is expected
that the postmaster general will des-
ignate certain postal officials who
will constitute board, or bureau
to determine the rules and regula-
tions to govern the parcels post. This
board, by the aid OF the interstate
commerce commission, is empowered
to change the classification of arti-
cles when the occasion seems to
demand 1t. 1t will be along this line
that much will have to be done, and
4, this bureau will have immense pow
er to const'rue the law in favor oi
the farmers or otherwise. So grea.
power has this board that they
practically have entire charge OF
the measure Senator Bourne, who
was one OF those interested in the
bill. states:
The postmaster general may
make prpvk.a:s for indemnify insur-
ance and collection ON delivery with
additional charges for such service:
and may, with the consent of the
interstate commerce commission, az
ter investigation. modify rates weights
and zone distances when experience
has demonstrated the need there
for"
Another feature that commands
interest is that relating to roads. 1t
is understood that 100000 was ap-
prcpriated for experimental roads. 1t
is stated that $4,000 was set aside
to each state. In order to secure this
amount the state must appropriate
sum double that. The rates are
as follows:
Zone Fifty miles. cents first
pound. and cents each additional
pound.
Zone 2-One hundred fifty miles:
rate, 6 cents first pound and cents
each additional pound.

Five Thousand Refs For Two Meals In

Hotels are few and i'll conducted in

an occasional good one is met with.
Americans who patronize a Brazilian
hotel or restaurant for the first time
are generally treated to surprise
when the bill is presented. TIVE
young sailors had dinner one day in
PernambucO. and, 10 their horror. the
bill was 5000 reiS.
They nearly tainted and would have
fed without attempting to settle; but,
there being no chance Of escape, they
clubbed together all the money they
had, about SO, and humbly offered 1t
TO the proprietor. Instead of having
them thrown into Jail. he laughed and
explained that their bill in American
coin was 500.
He furthermore explained that the
basis of Brazilian currency is an i'm

CHILDREN OF Jap,
Neither They Nor Their Parents Have
20 Worry About Food, Shell
ter or Clothes.

In describing Zap, one Of the Caro-
line islands, Dr. W. H, Furness says
that children become more or less pub
lie property on that island as soon as
they are able to run about from house
to house
They cannot without extraordinary
exertiOn fall off the island. and. like
little guinea pigs, can find food any
where. Their clothing grows by every
roadside. and any shelter or no shelter
is good enough for the night. They
cannot starve. There are no wild
beasts or snakes to harm them. What
matters it if they sleep under the high.
star powdered ceiling Of their foster
mothers nursery or curl up on mats
beneath their fathers thatch?
There is no implication here that
parents are not fond Of their children.
On the contrary, they love them so
much that they see their own children
in all children. 1t is the ease of life
and its surroundings which have afro
phied the emotion Of parental love.
When a father has merely to say to
his wife and children, Go out and
shake your breakfast off the trees"
or, "GO to the thicket and gather your
clothes" to him the struggle for ex-
istence is meaningless, and without a
struggle the prizes of life are held in
light esteem.

about the houses and to the fore in
all excitements, and never did I see
them roughly handled or harshly treat
