The Parcels Post.
(By Morton Birge.)

Among the New Year things to swear

And not start out and try to scare
The Parcels Post.
Don't think this new device will do
Such hefty work as moving you.
Remember, there's a limit to
The Parcels Post.
Don't try to buy electric light,
Or half-a-ton of anthracite,
Or set a blast of dynamite

Don't try to mail a cart and horse,
Or call a copper from the force,
Or think Of getting a divorce,

WAhHALLA, S. O.:
PARCELS POST HELPS FARMER.
Secretary Wilson Looking for Means
for Lowering Cost OF Living.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Although
the mails now are open, through the
Inauguration Of the parcels post, to
farm products and means, Secretary
OF Agriculture Wilson is not con-
vinced that the service will affect
materially the high cost Of living.
The result of direct delivery from
the producer TO the consumer will
benefit the former alone, is his belief.
He reiterated his conviction to-day,
having made it in a special report to
Congress before the last adjourn
ment.
"A cheapening OF farmers costs
OF marketing" he said, NATURALLY
will result in gain to the producer.
If the consumer is to benefit by
changes in the cost of distribution
it seems probable that he must do
so by chea Dening or eliminating
costs at his end Of the chain Of dis
tribution."
The secretary advocates co-opera-
tive buying as one means of reduc-
ing costs, and also recommends re-
forms in the methods Of local distri-
button. He expresses the belief that
division of markets in the depart
ment Of agriculture to watch pro-
duction and urge direct trade be-
tween producer and consumer would
aid greatly in cutting down house
hold bills.

With the passing Of 1912 man has
regained his rights-that of propos-
ing. The girls had every opportu-
nifty to propose last year, and those
who failed to take advantage Of it
have themselves to blame and not

However, from records compiled
at the Judge Of Probate's office the
Greenville iasses were evidently "on

HOW TO USE
OLD NEWSPAPERS

Use newspapers freely in the
kitchen, spreading under pans when
washing dishes or a table when
peeling fruit or vegetables; also
spread them around table, sink,
and stove when cooking. Crumple
them up to wipe off greasy dishes
and clean the bottom of smoky
pans. Polish :inware, windows and
stoves with them. Mako a thick
pad of several of them to stand on
wheu ironing. You will truly find
them rest for weary "soles."
Dampen them and tear into bits to
sprinkle over dusty carpet. They
brighten wonderfully.

SCRIPT OF MAD EMPEROR"
Relic Presented to San francisco Mu-
scum = Reminder Of tho Early
Days Of That City.

The old days OF San Francisco-that
period about twenty years ago when
the ~Guttersnipe," "Topsy-Turvey,"
"ThG Great Unknown" and other IA
nous street characters were daily
sights In the city-are recalled wildly
by donation made last week to tho
Golden Gate Park Memorial museum.
Chris w Smith gave the museum q
piece OF script issued by the far-famed
Emperor" Norton, the millionaire pio-
neer, whose reason went with the loss
Of his money by unwise speculation.
1t was In the late seventies that
Emperor" Norton held forth In all his
glory. He had come to California In
1S49, had endured all the hardships OF
that early date, and retired to San
Francisco when his wealth had
reached the million mark. He was
not violently insane. simply possessed
Of the hallucinat1on that this was one
vast empire, over which he ruled, and
that those whom he daily passed on
the streets were his humble subjects.
The piece of script presented to the
Park museum Is perhaps the only relic
OF one habit of Emperor" Norton.
Striding into store or into a place Of
liquid refreshment, the 'eemperor'
would, in a dignified manner, order
whatsoever he wished. In payment he
would give piece of script such as
that received by the museum, or may
hap a personal check. More than once,
say the old-timers, a $4,000 check was
given in payment for a small glass of
mineral water.
Emperor" Norton's script is printed
on blank piece Of paper slightly
larger than bank note, and worded
as follows:
"The Imperial Government Of EN-
peror Norton promises to pay holder
hereof the sum Of ten dollars in the
year 1880, with interest at FIVE per
cent. per annum from date, the prin-
cipal and interest to be converted at
the option of the holder at maturity
into twenty-year five per cent. bonds,
or payable in gold coin. Given under
our royal hand and seal this goth day
nf March. 1879.

Powerful Searchllahts.
NORTON L"

The new electric searchlight projec-
tors made by the Allgemeine establish
ment of Berlin are among the most
powerful yet to be produced, and their
candle-power, which is too high for
measurement, can only be reckoned In
hundreds of millions. What is striking
is the new method Of regulating the
arc. The large carbons are now moved
back and forth by small electric mo-
tors and suitable gears, current being
applied to the motors by a set Of re-
lays which work according to the cur
rent taken by the arc, thus securing
an automatic adjustment Of the arc
length in the best way. The base Of
the protector contains other motors
for all the searchlight movements, and
a distant lever control is 80 designed
that turning the lever in all directions
makes the protector also follow these
same directions for pointing the beam.
These searchlights will carry several
miles and still give light enough to
read by.

The regulations for the enforce
ment of the law seperate the coun-
try into two zones known as the
breeding and wintering zones. The
former comprises twenty-five states
lying wholly or in part north Of
latitude 40 and the Ohio river and
the latter comprises twenty-three
states and the District Of Columbia
lying wholly or in, part south of
latitude 40 and thu Ohio river.
A close season has been estab-
lished on the catbird, chickadee,
grosbeak, humming bid, martin,
whip-poor.will, meadow lark, bull
bat, robin, swallow, thrush, ard
woodpecker. The regulations coi-
tain a prohibition abolishing the

sunrise.
