Refuses Babies for Parcel Post, CLASSIFY
Them rs Live Stock.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, April Babies,
according 10 the orders issued at the
local postoffice, are live stock and not
a product to be mailed around over
the country with butter and eggs and
other parcel post business.
A woman applied to John w.
Haines. mailing clerk in the local
office. for rates on her baby to the
farm OF a friend living near st. Paul.
The clerk consulted Postmaster John
Vanish, and was told to accept no
babies. Mr.. Vanish said that, while
no ruling has been made in the mat
ter, he is holding babies under the
live stock class of the rule books.

THE DETACHMENT BY THE BILLBOARD.

The billboard is public Disagreement 1t is not
tolerated in the principal European cities 1t is al
most universal in American cities, and in it's most
hideous aspects. The scenery along our railroads is
defaced by 1t. In New York State determined cam
pagn has been carried against the DETACHMENT of
the picturesque highways. St Louis sets the example
of municipal reform by tearing down all but eighty
five billboards that complied with city ordinance.
1t will be strange if this action does not catching
among the cities of the country.

FREE TOLLS FOR ALL NATIONS.

A logical proposition is that no tolls of any kind
shall be levied upon shipping passing through the
Panama canal In the matter of commerce
we have no advantage other nations, as our ship
ping pays tolls The point is that by this plan our
coastwise trade would not be penalized on freight
commerce between the Atlantic and Pacific ports to
aggrandize the transcontnenta railroads. The gov
eminent of course would lose its income and pay the
cost of maintenance.

n1v Best Friend

They claim he's dumb, and yet think
He's human in a way.
I've often wondered, could he talk
What my cd dog would say
He looks the part of being hurt
At times when | am cross,
Yet he never takes advantage
Cause he knows that I'm his boss.
The kids all like this pal of mine,
They give him bones, but say
He knows I'll feed him we'll enough;
He'll cast those bones away.
He's ever hanging at my feet,
Be | at home or out,
! know I'm safe from everything
When my old dogs about.
A dog can't smile, but will swear
That mine has-that sounds thin,
But you can tell by his face, folks,
If my face holds grin.
He wouldn't harm me for the world,
His blood's the better blend;
| love that dog of mine, because
| know he's my best friend.

poLlcEwoMEN FOR NEW JERSEY TOWNS

If Governor Fielder signs Assembly bill No. l.
which has gone through both houses, New Jersey
municipalities will be enabled to get into line with
the progressive idea of poicewomen. Mr.. Branegan's
measure authorizes the appointment of women on
the police force, with the powers, duties and
pay as men, but exempts them from physical exami-
nation An attempt failed in the Senate to remove
this exemption There many useful functions for
the policewoman but they involve moral rather than
physical slIasion.

Compulsory Education.

From the New York Times.
Six States in the United States are
still without laws compelling children
under a specified age to attend school,
These States are Alabama, Florida,
Georgia. Mississippi. South Carolina
and Texas.
A study of compulsory school at
tendance laws and their enforcement,
both in this country and abroad, is
about to be published by the Federal
Bureau of Education. w. S. Diffen-
baugh, one of the contributors to the
volume, recalls how difficult 1t has
been to get such legislation adopted
He says:
Each State has had TO overcome
much opposition on the part of those
who argued that such laws are I'M
American in principle in that they
interfere with the personal liberty OF
the parent. In 1891 and 1898 Governor
Pattison, OF Pennsylvania, vetoed
compulsory education laws on that
ground. In 1895, when Governor
Hastings signed a similar bill, he did
SO only because he did not wish to
obtrude his judgment in the matter,
which was against the bill. The plea
that such laws interfere with the per-
sonal liberty, however, has never been
recognized by the courts.
The most marked advance in en-
acting such laws has been since 1890.
Prior to that time only twenty-seven
States and the District of Columbia
had compulsory laws, and many of
these were imperative.
THE successful enforcement of
compulsory education has long been
an enviable feature of the German
school system, and. although the ages
and periods of attendance vary, there
are practically no children in the
German Empire who evade the laws.
Some OF the figures show almost per-
feet conditions. For instance, out of
5754 600 children of school age In
Prussia in 1901, only 54s evaded at
tendance"

Preventive Medicine.


From the New York Commercial.
Life insurance experts have been
carefully studying the rise IN the
death rate of men past forty-nNe
years of age. AS the majority or per
sons insured take out their policies
when between eighteen and tMrty-
five years of age, the increase In the
insurance risk that has been SHOWN
to exist in persons past middle age
has become a matter of vital I'M
portance to the life insurance compa-
MES. In the case of holders or pom
cies for large amounts the companies
are now trying to get such poiicy-
holders to submit to periodical exam
nations, which, of course, do not aiIecU
the policy itself or the liability of the
company, but are designed to give the
insured warning when any sign or
decay appears, so that the damage
may be repaired by medical treatment
or of change in mode of living before
q serious impairment of health oc-
ours.
II man should go to a dentist al
least once a year to find out whether
his teeth are rottiig and to have the
decay checked in its incipient stage
by 0HlnS, 1t SettLS even iioAo Ata
portant that he should consult a COM
petent physician once year to hnd
out whether his vital organs are IN
proper working order. What stands
in the way of this sensible and sim
pie mode Of conserving health is the
lack of confidence in and respect for
physicians which is SO widespread IN
this country, and probably in all parts
of the world. Many a man would 50
to a doctor at regular intervals II ne
believed that the doctor would tell
him the exact truth, but the suspicion
Is general and very deeply implanted
that many doctors would conjure up
imaginary ills and treat them with
bread pills for the sake of the fees
that would follow.
To fill what appears to be popular
demand schemes are now on foot for
doing this work through the agency
of corporations. Insurance companies
talk about taking it up as branch or
their business and independent diax~
nosing companies, to give them pop
ular name, have been chartered. As
both the life Insurance companies and
the other concerns must avail them
selves of the service of regular physi-
clans OF good standing and approved
skill in order to make a success Of the
business, we have the curious paradox
of doctors who will not advertise do
ing this work for corporations that
advertise very widely.

Marriage License.


DOVER, Del. April Robert E.
Raughley, of Harrington, Del, and
Miss Mary c. Short, of the same
place, came near not getting married
last night because the bride acct
dentally burned the marriage license.
The document was entrusted to her
by the prospective husband. Just
before the wedding Miss Short burned
several love letters and other papers.
inadvertently she included the
license.
When the young woman learned her
mistake she notified Raughley, and
he hurried to the county seat here out
of breath. a distance of seventeen
miles, for duplicate. When this was
procured he rushed back, and arrived
soon after the time originally set for
the nuptials. Then the ceremony was
performed.

If yon will take a pavement that is clear. so that there will be no inter ference. and walk hriskly in the cen ter. you will find that before you have gone fifty yards yon have veered very much to one side You must not make any effort. of ronrSe. to keep in the center. but if foH will think of some thing and endeaver to walk naturally yor cannot keep 2 direct line. The ex- panation os this lies in the propensity of one foot to walk faster than the other. or one leg takes q longer stride than the other. causing one to walk to one side You can try an experi- ment in this way by placing two sticks about eight feet apart. then stand or about sixty feet blindfold yourself and endeavor to walk between them. You will find if almost impossible.

Mrs. Forster will remember" But when we went to the drawing room Mrs. Forster could not remember and Forster called down wrath on her and himself. The next morning the post brought me note from him at breakfast time. which con tained only the name Henry Thomas Buckle
