throughout the United States free OF cost.

among the successful competitors for a
portion OF this order, have this year re-
celved from the United States Government
an order for flower and vegetable seeds

orders for seeds ever received by one

FOR Low POSTAGE TO FRANCE.
DR.. Butler, in Paris, Argues for :
Cent Rate.
Special ca6ie Despatch TO The Sun


PARIS, June 27.-Dr. Nicholas Murray
Butler Of Columbia University explained
to the correspondent Of THE SUN to-day
his advocacy OF reduced postage between
France and the United States. Dr. Butler
appeared this week before a parliamentary
group OF the International Arbitration
Voluntary Committee, to which several
hundred Senators and Deputies belong.
Dr. Butler dwelt on the benefits OF two
cent postage between England and Ger
many and the United States. and spoke
OF some Of the anomalies under the present
postal arrangements. For instance. the
postage on letter from England to India
Is two cents The letter passes through
France In transit, but IL the letter was
destined to France II would cost Ave
cents.
NJ. Mazoyer. director OF the postal ad-
ministration, said the French Post Office
Department favors the change. The Min
lister OF Finance Is hesitating as he fears
that there would be q heavy loss in rev.
enue In the first year.
An international congress which Is to be
held In Madrid next autumn will discuss
a proposal for the adoption OF a universal
postage rate Of three cents on letters.

LONDON, June 27.-The comforting of
knighthood on Albert II. Stanley, the
managing director of the underground
railway. who spent twelve years as
manager OF American electric railroads,
chiefly the Detroit United Railways and
the Public Service Railways of New
Jersey. was remarkable among the birth
day honors.
He is only 80 years OF age and was
brought up In America. He was only
naturalized a year ago. 1t was remark
able also for the outburst OF enthusiasm
1t evoked from the $4,000 employees OF
the underground railroads. who take the
honor as personal to themselves.
The way IN which Mr.. Stanley has won
the approval of his subordinates augurs
well for the success of Henry w. Thorn
ton. formerly OF the Long Island Rail-
road. who Is now the general manager of
the Great Eastern Railway. When Mr..
Stanley was taken from New Jersey by
the London railroads he had an advan-
tage over Mr.. Thornton in coming here
without any publicity.
Mr.. Stanley told the correspondent OF
THE SUN to-day that when he arrived In
London the District Railway and the
Yerkes company had not completed the
system Of tubes and were losing ESQ. 900
0250. 000) a year on their fiNed charges
besides not paying any dividends, Mr.,
Stanley said:
"As general manager I called the vari-
Gus heads Of departments together and
proposed campaign OF advertising and
the taking OF the public into their conn
dence. I said: We shall meet again in a
year II this policy Is wrong let us agree
that every one shall turn in his res!gna-
tion and hand his Job over to some one
else Everybody agreed"
Mr.. Stanley then went TO the proprie-
tors OF the newspapers, who said: do
your part and we will do ours" He then
spent six months riding about the system.

talking with passengers and ascertaining
what they wished. He says that he
quickly found that the English public
were highly appreciative OF everything
that was done for them and their COM
plants we're remarkably fair. Mr. Stan
ley continued:
''Once the English realise that you are
trying to do your best they viii give you
every assistance, but while they are ex-
tremely patient they are not satisfied with
anything less than the best"
At tho end OF the first year when Mr..
Stanley and his colleagues met there were
no designations needed. The fixed charges
had been paid and there was a considera-
Bile surplus The system now has a capt.
talization OF 100000 H300. 200. 000)
and employs $4,000 persons. 1t carries
1000. 900 passengers a day. Every pas
senger or an employee who has a COM
plant can get an immediate audience with
Mr.. Stanley.
Mr.. Stanley will be formally invested
with knighthood at Buckingham Palace
on Monday.

EGGS
INCREASE PROFITS
Wise Poulrymen Can Get Double
Price With but Little
Care.

At this season of the year the pre-
served egg is being pressed into serv-
ice in many homes and it is at this
time that lessons showing the econ
omy of the preserved egg can be most
easily taught.
Locally the retail price of fresh
eggs to-day is around forty cents a
dozen while the eggs that were pre-
served last Spring cost no more than
twenty cents the dozen. The preserved
egg is far preferable to the cold stor-
age egg and for practically every use
it is not one mite less desirable than
fresh egg. Fresh eggs are to be
preferred for frying, boiling, etc, but
for these purposes the preserved egg
is still better than the average stor-
age egg. For the omelet and custard
and for all kinds of baking the pre-
served egg is not less desirable than
the fresh article.
The wise poultry keeper is now
making the most of his opportunities
by using 20-cent eggs in his own home
and selling the new-laid product al
double that price. AS the season ad-
vances the saving per- dozen will GO
even higher.
There is no risk to run in preserv-
ing eggs. There is neither much trou-
BILE or expense connected with the
process. ON the farms where the
cellars are cool and fresh eggs plenti-
full, the advantages for the practice
of this economy are greatest.

One-piece frocks, or those with body and
skirt portions cut in one piece, are always
best for the younger girls; they are easy
to make and easy to launder and they
are always becoming. This one has a
quite new feature in the applied box
plaits that give excellent lines. Beneath
the plat at the left of the front the closing
is made. Plaid Scotch gingham is the
material shown here, with collar of white,
but, as is shown in the back view, the
plaits can be of contrasting material as
we'll as the collar, and white galatea or
white pique with plaits, collar and cuffs
of rose-color or blue makes very pretty
effect, with the belt either of the trim
ming material or of patent leather. The
sleeves are sewed to the dress, but have
such long shoulder line that they give
the Japanese effect, nevertheless.
For the S-year size will be needed 3N
yards of material 27 inches wide or 2X
yards of SO or ~ yards A, with g yard
27 for the collar, or "a yard for the collar,
plaits and cuffs.
