which cost the government about

Money Order System.
Realizing the danger in loss in send
ing money in open mail, legislation
was enacted in 1865. which authorized
the establishment Of the postal money
order system, the object being ito pro-
mote the convenience of the public and
insure the safe transfer OF small sums
of money through the mails"
1t was not intended that the money
order system should be a large source
Of revenue to the department. and thus
be a tax upon the people, but 1t has
always been maintained that 1t should
be a disappearing institution, which
ii is.
Return Addresses.
The p~ostofice department has en-
deavored, through instructive mediums,
to impress upon the public the desir-
ability of having the names and adj
| dresses of the senders Of mail matter
placed thereon, in order that the mat
ter may be quickly disposed OF in case
OF non-delivery, by return to h send
er without taxing the division OF dead
letters Of the department, and delay
ing the return Of the matter involved.
Classification OF Mail.
The casual observer. nc doubt, re-
CARDS the classification given to mail
matter if he has given any thought al
all TO the subject, as quite clear and
has no idea what difficulties may arise
in applying 1t to any mailable article
but it is surprising what perplexins
questions do arise in determining the
proper classification of ON articles

partment by both postmasters and tho

These difficulties In respect to the

She drags out her curse over the years The
crust may not be wanting; but the horrible waste
and charge of the ornaments, upon the western
world withhold from the mouths OF countless
thousands the nourishing food to which their hard

means for us the untold billions that are
squandered on battleships which in a few years

Hatred between peoples, fratricidal enmity, is
another child of war This ugly sister of pestt
lence and famine have had with us many
years in America. Even to this day, after half
a century she waves her bloody shirt in the balls
of congress- Then there is arrogance which is
wars legitimate offspring; and deceit, for all Is
fair in war, and the student in the military
academy is taught first of all to fool the enemy
with all manner of lies, the baser the better
And arson and pillage-are they not the children

war than IT is like peace. Every dreadnought
every added regiment of the mighty ornaments
is a war child OF the monsters that Napoleon and

War has had many children since the world
began, the new York Mail remarks Some of
them are dead now. but others are alive. Wars
first born was slavery The savage who con-
quered his neghbor in the forest killed him as
matter of course, but he made captives OF his
family and his dependents, and these captives
were slaves BY and by it became so profitable
to hold slaves that conquered men were not
killed, but spard for a fate worse than death
And in the measure that war drove and spread and
became vaster and more dreadful, slavery spread
and flourshed too. 1t but yesterday that
we ended 1t In America; and 1t is not yet gone
from the earth Wars next child was pestilenee.
She was hideous! But not so hdeous slavery
She follows like shadow With the wings
OF the vulture, she hovers ever the camp. Born
on the battle field, she flies all the world for
that point of vantage, and her victims vastly out
number those of war itself She is closely as
ISOLATED with her blood stained parent that 1t is
probable that ii war no on the earth
there would be no more pestilence as long the
world endures Then famine This sister came
later than pestilence. and her ravages have been
more dreadful, In this age and quarter OF the
world we do not have famine in the same guise
that In which she visited the middle ages and
still visits Asia. Our people do not die and rot

81 The most striking feature in the structure of
members of the OK family is the development of
the foot. Both the morse and the OK tribe have
developed towards the end of great speed over
firm ground and both have become specialized al
most completely as possible but they have
adapted themselves in different ways. In the case
of the horse the middle toe has been developed
and the others suppressed The OK and its tribe
on the other hand have developed the two cen
trail toes, hence the name of their sub-order Attic
dactyla.
This specialization has entailed an enormous
extension of the two bones corresponding to the
middle bones of the hand (metacarpals) and of
the foot (metatarsalsl; these have also become
more or less completely fused in the different
members of the family, consequently the joint cor
responding to the human wrist has become the
knee in oxen. Our Illustrations showing the
bones OF the fore foot of various members OF
these two sub-orders, Artiodactyla and Perisso-
daetyla Cor oddtoed) viii make this point clearer
than much discussion, 1t will be seen that the
hoofed (ungulate) animals really walk on the tip
of what corresponds to the finger nails in man
and the claws in carnivora and not on their feet
at ALL If feet are looked at from the point of view
of creatures like ourselves who walk in planti-
grade fashion.
one OF the most fascinating studies in connec
ton with natural history is the way different
members of the same family will modify and adapt
themselves to the varying local conditions to be
met with glance at our illustrations will show

Although the remains of the bovidae are slight,
comparatively speaking, We have evidence that
they formed the quarry of the men of the Stone
Age because at Cambridge the skeleton of an
aurochs, or wild OK, is preserved which was killed
by stone weapon, and many other skeletons
have been found which show that the animal was
slain In the chase There is prehistoric draw
ing of an extinct buffalo which was found In
North Africa; but as a rule the artists of the pre-
historic ages showed very little enthusiasm for
the OK as a subject to sketch, in spite of their
obviously keen interest in him as an addition to
the harder; their pictures chiefly concerned
with horses men and dogs. Somewhat after the

upon them as the most wonderful
entries in natures ledger, some good
people regarded them as the mali

In his book, THE Ok and Its Kin

as the story of our domestic cattle

Of the various species, living wild

remains of their progenitors. Al
though there are a very large num-

order Artiodactyla 1.-THE Greek word

the other remuninants Il. e., animals
that have the power of regurgitating

history is not so well displayed by
their fossil remains as that of the

Both families consist, of course, of
hoofed animals; but the OK group
differs widely from the horse and
