Modern Inventions--Parcei Post.

by GeOFBe Fltcn.}
 The parcel post is an invention which makes every day look like Christmas in a postoffice.
 By means of the parcel post one may mail packages all over the world at reasonable rates. Before the United States adopted the parcel post. it was possible to send packages to Europe or Ger many for a small sum. but if a man wanted to mail a package of laundry weighing five pounds to la nearby town, the only way he could do it was to mail il ln Eng land and then have il mailed back.
 Now. however, il is possible ia mak" almost as much useSf the postotfice department as if it were. a real public service cOrpOr- ation. By means of the parcel post, the unterritied citizen can .urder his Christmas turkey al half price from the bosom of the country and have it delivered to him with or without it's head on Christmas morning by the pant ing carrier.
 The parcel post is designed to give the ordinary citizen who pays for it as much service as the congressman who doesn't. For. many years congressman have been able to send bedsteads and milch COWS home by mail and we are assured that as soon as arrangements are perfected, the same privilege will be extended to all.
 When this time comes post masterships will not he so pop ular. When the postmaster has finished stuffing an over grown calf and a corn sheller into a mail sack and has distributed a quar- ter of beef, a bicycle and a dozen rocking chairs among the var ious lock boxes in his office, he will mop his brow and sigh for a change of administration.
 Under the parcel post the mail carrier becomes one of our prin- cipal beasts of burden, and the man who has grudge against his carrier can secure a horrible revenge by mailing few paving bricks to himself every day.
