the work on the streets and walks are being

road is in good passable condition.
This work was started by the Stearns Co.,

this road was to aid by the working of their
teams one to two DAYS but they failed to dc

We.as citizens Of this village and on the

Wireless Worries,

But, if they could speak, many birds

approve of this new invention in the
least. For in the parts of the world
where there are a large number Of

been made which seem to indicate
that birds are disturbed in a very curl

CENTIPEDES A FOOT LONG
Giant Insects of the Tropics Have
Forty-Two Feet, and Every
Claw Is Poisonous.

The giant centipede of Trinidad and
Venezuela is sometimes a foot long,
and can do very serious harm. Its
foremost pair of feet are modified into
supplementary jaws, which are fang
like, and may infiict a powerful bite;
Furthermore, each has poison gland
at its base, that sends into the wound
a venom deadly to small creatures,
and very painful even to mankind.
Moreover the sharp claw of each Of
the AZ feet is poisonous likewise, so
that when the animal crawls over the
soft skin of the human arm, it leaves
a trail of red, inflamed spots. 1t is
dangerous to knock the centipede off,
for instantly the creature drives the
claws more deeply into the flesh. and
sends a greater amount of venom
into each puncture; it may also take
hold with its Jaws.
When the centipede seizes its prey,
or is itself caught by an enemy, it
coils itself round it's antagonist, and
grips it tenaciously with all its legs.
Many myriapods are brightly banded
with black and yellow, contrasting
tints that show conspicuously against
the dark soil of the forests where
they abound. The giant centipede is
shining mahogany brown, with the
legs blush and ringed with yellow

sheep of the village, and it was often
said that his brother-in-law would COM
plete his ruin.
Commissioning glances were often
thrown at the pretty wife as she
passed by. She seemed so devoted to
her husband. How long would 1t be be-

and looked at it, 1t was mailed from

1t was unfastened. Mr.. Usher was
careless with his mail.
The postmistress quickly exchanged
the envelopes. Then, sealing them
carefully, she handed them to the car
rier for delivery. After that she
waited.
About half an hour after the deliv-
cry Mr.. Charles Black came into the
post Office with a singular expression
on his face.

Burleson Makes Recommendations.


The Honorable Albert S. Burleson
of Texas, postmaster general under
the present administrator, is a Tive
wire" This is shown by his numer-
Gus proposals in reference to the
changes in the postoffice department,
just issued for the benefit of the men,
bers of congress. Mr.. Burleson is
willing and anxious to have this gov
eminent take over the telegraph and
telephone; he desires to change the
present contract system with rural
carriers, whereby he proposes to re-
duce the expense $40,000,000 per year.
Mr.. Burleson also desires to increase
the rates of second-class matter from
one to two cents per pound. This
would not however, include daily or
weekly newspapers, but would effect
publications issued monthly or period
ically.
In this connection, it might be of
interest to say that the principal post
offices of the United States are issu-
ing blanks which contain the follow
ing questions
Are you using the parcel post to a
considerable extent?
Do you use express, and if so, for
what?
Is it possible for parcel post to meet
your needs entirely?
If so, what changes would be neces-
sary in the service?
Are you mailing perishable or fra
gile matter?
If so, with what success?
Do you favor extending weight limit
of parcels?
Do you favor reduction of rates tC
distant zones?
