PARCEL POST CHANCES.

When Postmaster General Burleson issued the order making the ordinary postage stamp acceptable for parcel post mail it was a move which con tributed to the convenience of every user thereof throughout the country. The special stamp was in accordance with methods which are employed in other countries and made 1t possible to know the exact condition of the par eel post business, whether 1t was inn proving or declining and by how much It made known without gllesswork or estimation the income of that branch of the service so recently established It was a precaution in behalf of good business for the guidance of the de- partment in putting into use such an important service. It has proved the success that was anticipated and the red tape can now be eliminated with out injury, while the postoff1ce em- ployes are better able with the exper- fence they have now had to keep record of it otherwise.
 This is only one of the ways in which the postal service will be bet tered as it acquires age. The incon- venience of keeping on hand the neces- sary number of two kinds of stamps bothered not only business houses, but individuals. As the operation of the department develops the need of in Guiding in it's privileges certain classes of articles such as books must be rec ognized, and what is already a great saving to the public will be further increased. The care in handling ought 10 get more attention and the service brought up to the highest standard possible

THE HErcH-HETcHY SCHEME.

 When most cities seek additional land for watershed and reservoir purposes it is seldom that it concerns land of suf ficient importance to become nation al question, but in the case of San Francisco the attempt to get g. portion of Yosemite park concerns a natural beauty spot not only of state but coun- trywide value as priceless and won derful result of the earth's formation and subsequent action of nature.
 The New York Tribune declares that the reason the " Yosemite is attacked is simply this, that the utilization of any other would cost something for acquisition, while it is hoped that the Hetch -hetchy, being a public park can be grabbed for nothing, just as it has often been proposed to put all sorts of public buildings into the parks of this city because sites there would cost nothing.
 ''It is, however, notorious that the Hetch- hetchy is wanted really less for potable water, than for water power for commercial purposes. In order to get free water power from which to make great pecuniary profit the advo cateS of this raid upon the Yosemite would ruin one of the most precious natural possessions of the race. It is a scheme that should be killed beyond resurrection.
 Could California profit from the pos session without destroying any part of the valley as natural wonder, no objection could be raised but with other sites available and the purpose at the bottom of the scheme being a

THE WEDDING CAKE

Any rich fruit cake. heavily iced and decorated in white, may serve as a wedding cake. At an informal we'd ding the bride will cut the wedding cake. For pretty little ceremony of this cake-cutting the guests should make a wide circle with white satin ribbon about the bridal pair. To add to the gayety of the occasion it should have baked in it the silver symbols which denote various fortunes. There is ring for the next to- be-married, a Wishbone for the one who is to have good luck a thimble for the spinster and a button for the bachelor. To these should be added a silver coin for the one who is to be wealthy.

NOVEL SHOWER FOR BRIDE.

A novel postcard shower was ar ranged for a recent bride e-elect, which might be of interest to others wishing to plan an entertainment of the same kind. Postcards of the ordinary kind were used and each of the friends as- s1sting in the shower wrote her fav- orfte recipe, very plainly and concise3y on card. Those who were clever enough illustrated their recipes with tiny pen and ink sketches. others had helpful little sentiments inscribed upon them. Several of the recipes were written in verse. but all were original and the best of the sender's collection. in all there were 250, each choice and exclusive.
