Postmaster S. B. Miller is the
proud custodian OF a neat package
of post parcels stamps having a face
value Of $4.l5s.5o.
The package was a Christmas gift
to Cairo.
Mr.. Mixer broke the seals to the
package Thursday afternoon In the
presence Of RMlletin representa-

tiest specimens OF the engraver's art
that one ever saw.
The color scheme designating the
different priced stamps Is varied 80
one cannot make mistake. The
prices Of the stamps range from one
sent to seventy-fivc cents.
The stamps will be placed on sale
January !. 1913. when the post par

Postmaster Miller has map
showing the different zones for
Cairo. They are arranged in con-
sentrlc circles. In connection with
the map is postal guide to post
Offices and azeomplcte arrangement
in tabulated form 50 by reference ID
I one can easily ascertain what it
costs to ship certain weight pack
.age to certain point under the arr
rangemcnt.
In order that firms who have con-
siderable shipping and wish to take
advantage of the government parcel
law and wish to save trouble, the
department has made all arrange
ments whereby post parcels guide
has been published for use in con-
neetion with the parcel post map
in determining the postage rates.
This map and guide may be pur-
ahased by remitting a money order
for rs cents to the chief clerk or
the postoifiee department at WASH

1t is but natural that some con-
'usion will result at the outset but
when people become. thoroughly ac-
1uainted with the provisions OF the
law 1t will be found to prove u
boon. as much so as the system of
mai ing letters, which, when first
introduced. was thought would b. a
failure. the people not thoroughly
somprehending its provisions.
A shipper can register package.

not to exceed $50. or place special
delivery stamps on 1t insuring i'm

Some question arises as to the re-
eeipts of post parcels at the down
town station maintained by Fred
Fair on Eighth street. The law
says must be mailed at postoffice,
branch postoffice, named or lettered
station or such numbered station as
may be designated by the postmas-
ter. They must not be placed in
Or upon letter boxes or package
boxes located in city streets. They
nay be given. however, TO any rural
or star route carrier.
The question naturally will arise
as to the classification of the Fahr
branch. It is contended that he does
not come under any of these elassi-
ications although the postal depart
ment does not designate any other
zind This matter will be definitely
ettled before the law becomes ef-
feetive,

Since the suppression of the opium
traffic in China the vice of taking CO.
caine and morphine has sprung up. &C.
cording to DR.. WI Lien-teh, one of the
Chinese delegates to the Hague
Opium Conference. He pointed out
that the importation of morphine into
China last year amounted to 200,-
600 ounces, and it might be realized
what that meant when it was known
that in a great hospital like st. Barth-
olimew's the amount of morphine used
last year was A ga ounces. OF cocaine
10000 ounces were imported Strict
laws were introduced, but were of no
avail, as the drugs were struggled in.
According to doctors the use of CO.
caine and morphine is becoming more
general in England. A medical man
recently stated that many society
women were addicted to the use of the
drugs. which were purchasable with
out restriction, and that they fire.
quently gave them to their daughters
to enable them to get through a too
strenuous social season.
