|PAkCEE lUST
FOR DOMINION
GENERAL FORMAL
LY lNAUcURATEs SYSTEM BY
MAILING FIRST PACKAGE.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 10.-The Cana
dian parcel post, for which prepare,
lions have been going forward for
many months, became an accomplish
ed fact today, when Hon. Louis P. Pei
letter, postmaster general of the Do
minion, formally inaugurated the serv-i
ice by dropping the first package into
the mails. In the method of fixing
rates according to the zone system
and in many of its other leading fea-
lures the Canadian service follows
closely after the similar service estab-
lished a year ago in the United States,
Each province constitutes separate
zone except that the Maritime prov
inces are embraced in one. An i'm
portant feature designed to benefit
the local merchants is that twenty
mile territory around every postoffice
is local zone, enjoying rates consid-
erably lower than those provided for
in the provincial zones.
For the first three months of oper-
alton parcels up to six pounds only are
to be taken. Afterwards when the sys-
tenn gets into proper running order the
full limit of eleven pounds will be car
ried. The local zone system is expect
ed to be of great benefit to merchants
and also to farmers and gardeners
who can use the mails for sending pro-
duce to their local market at low rates
A parcel of II pounds can be sent 20
miles for two cents a pound, and this
is expected to give the farmers a de-
cided advantage in marketing eggs
and other perishable matter. It will
also give a decided advantage to the
country merchant over the department
stores. The former can send OFT
goods up to IL pounds to his customers
at two cents pound, while II the same
goods were ordered from concern
more than 20 miles distant, it would
cost about five cents pound for post
age.
The next rate is fixed for the prov
ince in which the parcel is posted, the
first pound to be 10 cents and each ad
ditional pound four cents. For an ad
jacent province the rate of 10 cent:
for the first pound applies, but for eacl
additional pound an extra charge o
two cents is imposed, making the rat
10 cents for the first pound and 81,
cents for each subsequent pound.
Beyond the province adjoining tn
one in which the parcel is mailed, al
additionay two cents a pound is i'm
posed for each province that has t.
J be crossed to the destination Of tn
parcel up to a maximum charge o
IL cents pound.

friends in New York city. He has
provided good skating in Central park

CHRISTMAS IN THE ARCTIC

A good many years ago the mission aries in Labrador began to make use of white turnips at Christmas time. Maybe our brethren in their first at tempts to grow something on this bleak coast were gladly surprised at the heartiness and the returns this vegeta- ble yielded, and in order to make the most of it and with an eye to benefit Ing the Eskimos they reserved a quan- stity of these nice large turnips for Christmas. Then on Christmas eve. during one of the most impressive serv- ices of the year. these same turnips were served with small lighted can adle stuck in the middle, and each child i'm the community. from the infant in arms to the boy or girl of fourteen. re- ceived one of them as Christmas gift. White turnips are claSsed at home among the inferior or common fruits of the field, but this is by no means the case in Labrador Most of these people of the far north have never seen an apple or an orange or a plum, and as they cannot think of these fruits by comparison the turnip occupies the Highest rung of the ladder in their es- timation. You ought to see one of these Eskimo boys or girls bite into a turnip. writes Christian Schmitt in the Christian Herald. It is enough to make rone's mouth water.

HOMEMADE TRIMMINGS
 ADD TO TREES BEAUTY

The beauty of a Christmas tree does not depend upon the amount of money which has been expended upon 1t. Ca pable fingers and judicious thought may weave the magic spell of romance about it. Indeed, the flutter of prep aratfon and the merriment of creating your own decorations have far more the real spirit of Christmas than a hurried visit to store where these things can be purchased at short no- tice. ta
 Indeed, nothing quite takes the place of the old time tree, with its boughs laden with simple gifts and homemade ornaments. Each trifle has some sig nificance-has a meaning of its own, or a funny incident connected with it. If you live away from the city there are many things right at hand which you can turn to good account for the pur- pose. ....
 Nuts may be gilded or silvered or covered with gold or silver paper. Pop corn may be strung. and if you wish for bit of gay color it may be dipped into dye of the color you want. In dividual cranberries. or strings of them. make effective trimmings. Crabapples. in all the radiance of their fresh color. or oranges make bright spot on the somber green. Gingerbread animals. birds and dolls are a delight, and flow CTS of tissue paper, cornucopias and many geometrical figures may be made with little ingenuity. Paper dolls, cut from magazines and colored, if they are not already so, mounted on cardboard look quite imposing, and chains of colored or gold paper may be made by folding the paper in numeraDle times and cutting it in the shape required. When you unfold it one link is fastened within the other. and large chain may be draped from branch to branch. Circles made by folding a paper in quarters and string ing a number of these together at the folded point make lovely balls. Dolls can be fashioned from many objects A corncob holds many possibilities. legs and arms and q cotton padded head being joined to this body. And did you ever see a dolly shaped from a clothes pin?
