All, ,020 thousand letters and papers. so that the average per inhabitant of Rus sia is only F. while that of the little re- public Is 124, ten times as much.
 The distribution of letters and papers in Africa is comparatively small. being only 367,245 thousand, of which the larg- est number go to Algeria t79.60O thousand). the next to Egypt (706o0 thousand), and almost as much to Cape Colony G0o21 thousand)
 In these figures students of human progress find pretty sure indications of the intellectual advancement of people. as we'll as their commercial progressive ness. z
 Letters were written only on clay tab lets by the Babyfonians at least 5000 B. C., for some of these letters have been found in their clay envelopes. Other na- tions exchanged information in writing, sending leters by messengers. But has remained for very modern times to have real postal service. with prepaid en- velopes or stamps. the government acting as the dispatcher of the letters or news papers.
 It is claimed that the Idea of post paid envelope originated early n the reign of King Louis XIV of France. with a certain NJ. de Valfyer. who established a private penny post, with the consent of the King in 16S3, placing boxes at street corners for receiving letters wrapped up in the envelopes sold at different offices by him.

gard to naval and mllitar. airmanship foi 19l2-f913 came out N0Dn the great CT portion of this book was in the press, but comment Is provided. A sum Of Si.5i0,00D is. set aside. an increase of sSs 1000 on the previous year. France has voted s4.G00.0OO and another s500,- 00V has been subscribed and Germany will spend s3.700.0O0 this year.. Our scheme. say the authors, is to form seven aeroplane squadrons. each com prising Q aeroplanes, and 10 man this air fleet with a force of J6i pilots ana observers will be required. For scout ing purposes the pilot drives, while the observer takes notes on tho coun- try beneath. In addition, there will be 40 airmen who will be trained spe- officially Tn the duties of naval airman- ship.
 The verdict of the authors is:
 The facilities actually provided--as apart from paper schrmes--are still so moagre that it will only be possible during this year to train very small proportion Of the corps set forth above. Thus 1t is to be feared that at the end of 1912 our position will continue to compare most unfavorably with that of. either France or Germany.

Just One of These Rules

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 A curious man. writing 10 the news papers, asks why our canons of cour- tesy permit a gentleman in the pres ence of ladies in a hotel lobby or cor ridor to keep his hat on, while the in- stant he steps in the elevator he must take it off.
 Now. that the question is asked, you are all at liberty to contribute your own answers. No one, except idly, asks for the reasons of any. of the conventions. Why do we wear hats with silk bands or narrow ones? Why do shoes have ''buldog'' toes?
 We may answer the hat removal aues- ton, that a gentlemans head covering is removed in the "lift' of a hotel be- cause the hotel is considered for the time being the dwelling or home of the lady, though why the rule doesn't hold good in the corridor is left to those who love to trace motives and first causes to their lairs
 Of course. the elevator custom doesn't { arise from a polite desire to provide suf- ficient room for the lady's hat.

AMERICAN PEOPLE GET THE MOST MAIL Average Is 161 Pieces Per Capita-Lowest in
 Turkey

From the New York American.
 If the postman brings you more than 16l pieces of mail matter during the year you are getting more than your share. l This is according to the great bureau of statistics in Berlin, where experts have figured out just how much mail matter per capita is delivered in the various countries of the world.
 The United States leads all nations, is a world beater, both in the matter of mail it sends everywhere and in the amount it's inhabitants receive.
 The German empire comes next, while Great Britain and Ireland is sixth. In the German empire the average is 145 pieces of mail per person during the year. In Great Britain and Ireland it ig IF, France IS, Russia F, while in Turkey the people only average 1 7-10 letters per year.
 Because the number of pieces of mail now sent is so enormous the bureau of statistics figures only in the thousands of pieces and it has found that the United States sends no less than 12.66O, GOO thou sand pieces. or actually I2. .660 COG, 600 pieces Of mail every year, both within the states and to foreign countries. All the rest of the New World sends less than 2,O00, ,000 thousand pieces more. but the total for America is 14.643,129 thousand pieces of mail dispatched every year. The Argen- tine Republic sends 594. GOO thousand pieces of these, but the Falkland islands send out only S7.000 thousand
 All Europe delivers but 25,61S740 thou sand pieces of mail per annum, of which the German empire distributes SSH 3oo thousand pieces. Great Britain and Ire land 4.9iioO thousand and France S,049 : 00 thousand. All Asia distributes only z.667,49S thousand. but Japan uses more than half-1 .4f6,000 thousand

FOR YOUNG SINGER
George 7. Thomson, Picture

Of Good Fortune.

A trivial kindness paid to an aged

Is equal to an enormous fortune. Young

Strike of Coal Miners =
May Be Called Today

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 2O.--A ma
ton-wide strike of more than 500, 900 soft
coal miners may be declared today
This action seemed inevitable when
thirty-two operators and thirty-two
miners representations went into con-
ference to consider the new wage scale
to be effective in Ohio, Penisylvan mia, ,
Indiana, and Illinois after the present
scale expires April l.
The operators attitude of no compro-
mise is indicated by the fact that in
stead of standing pat on the present
scale, the thirty-two min heads in ex-
ecutive session late yesterday declared
for a fat wage decrease OF 10 cents a
ton from the present mining rate. The
miners are asking a l0-cent increase
and tine introduction of a run of mine
system.
with the operators and miners 20
cents apart" said a union official to-
day. there is little chance OF set
tlement."
Miners before the meeting. however,
were pleased because the Interstate
Commerce Commission had just ordered
railroad companies to cut the freight
rates from the Pennsylvania coal fields
to the lake ports 10 cents. This now
makes the rate lower than that inn
posed upon the non-union operators of
West Virginia, and, hence, will help
the union fields to compete more sue
cessfully with the under-cutting opera
tors from that State.
When President White, of the United
Mine Workers. heard the operators
would stand pat on their decision made
in Indianapolis two months ago, asking
q 10 cent decrease, he indicated his be-
lief that a big fight will have to come.
