To Be a First Class Post Office.

1t is now known that in all proba
bility the Waterville postoffice will be
a first class postofiiee. after July l, as
according to the local officials, the re-
ceipts have increased to such an ex-
tent that it seems certain they viii
reach the limit necessary for making
the postofiice first class. This will
mean an increase OF salary of about
800 a year for the clerks and carriers
and others, in proportion. AS one Wa
terville man said aptly, Thursday, the
change is deserved, for what more
natural than that a first class city,
city, with first class people, first class
enterprise, and first class everything
desira bic. should have first class
postoffice?

MAS neysr heard of in Eng

to the throne, This statement may
sound little startling, but it is quite
true, nevertheless.

The origin Of the present starched
collar was the ruff. In the year 1864
Queen Elizabeth first used Il coach.
Her coachman came from Holland. He
was man named Boenen, and his
wife brought with her from that coun-

Soon afterward Q certain Madame
Dinghen came from the Netherlands
and ctarted a laundry with clear
starching in London. A very good
thing she made OF it. for the daugh-
ters Of worthy citizens crowded to her
to learn the art, and she charged them
e5 apiece. Five pounds was a lot of
money in those days-equal to at least
$50 of modern money.
AS soon as starchine became com

the thin band OF lace and. like all new
fashions throughout history, this one
ran absolutely riot.

The structure is one of the best of
its kind among the smaller cities of
Maine, and has attracted much
favorable comment from citizens and

circular and very high. The walls
are white. No direct light enters
the main room and the result is that
in no matter what part one is, there
is always a uniform light for writing

and reading. The decorations are
simple, but beautiful.
In the center is a circular writing
desk, on which to address letters. and
inside of this is the largest steam
radiator of the room. The wood
work of the interior is of dark finish
contrasting prettily with the white Of
the walls.
Arranged around the main room are
the various departments of the post
office, in circle, including the post
masters office, sorting roms registry
department, money order department.
and the mail boxes. The design of
the mail boxes is unusually attrac-
tive, showing that Uncle Sam has
been careful in all the details of the
new postoffice.
