fishing the first routes for the dcliv

dated on September 80, 1896, and di-
rected the beginning on the following
day, October /, 1896, of an expert
mental service for the delivery o.
mail in rural districts, 1t provided
that the service be established in
Jefferson County, w. Va, which was
also the home of the Postmaster Gen
eral. The service was to start with
three carriers at $500 a year each.
Two of themYere to carry mail out Of
Charles Town and one out of Uyilla.
These were the first postoffices in the
United States to have rural delivery,
which is now common all over the
country. Today there are $4,000 car
riers on rural delivery routes, and the
salary is $1,000 year for most OF
them.

GOOD ON LAND OR WATER
New Cycle Something That Has Been
Sought by inventors for Mum.
Der of Years.

France held not long ago water
gala. in which was competition for
land and water cycles, but these ma
chimes could not be used on water un-
til they were partly dismantled. It
has been left to an Englishman, H. G..
Belbin, Battersea workingman, to
invent a machine that can be ridden
on land as we'll as water without any
adjustment. 1t is supported in the
water by two hollow wooden floats,
treated inside with tar to render them
waterproof, which are adjusted by
means of ribs fastened to horizontal
bar on the frame, just far enough
apart to allow Of free pedaling move
ment, and high enough to keep clear
of the ground when being ridden on
land. -
The driving power Is supplied as
on an ordinary cycle for land riding,
and on water by an endless chain run
ming over the driving wheel tand on
to projecting framework to a gear
ing which drives a small two-bladed
propeller.
The steering is controlled by a
shaped piece Of metal fastened to the
front forks, one rib on each side of
the front wheel. Recent demonstra-
tons have proved that the machine
is perfectly safe and tractable on both
land and water. H. G. Belbin cannot
swim a stroke, but he was 80 conf
dent Of the success Of his machine
that he crossed and recrossed the
Thames.

Ing scene in relief representing q
man and woman clasping hands and

that the monument was raised to the
memory of a1woman, who is here
shown in two aspects-in her relation
to her husband, to whom she is bid
ding farewell, and in her relation to
her child, with whom she is playing.
These two simple scenes are typical
OF the subjects chosen by the Greek
artists for tomb representation; they
show the dead woman as she was in
her everyday life, with only note of
parting introduced by a handclasp,
and with no suggestion of grief ex-

CHARITY.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from
him that would borrow of thee turn
not away.-Matt. y. A..
o stay not thy hand when the winter
winds rude,
Blow cold through the dwelling of
want and dispair.
To ask If misfortune has come to the
good.
Or il folly has wrought the wreck
that is there
When the heart-stricken wanderer asks
thee for bread
In suffering he bows to necessity's
laws;
When the wife means in sadness-the
children unfed,
The cup must be bitter-oh /! ask not
the cause.
When the Savior of men raised his fin
ger to heal,
Did he ask if the suffer were Gentle or
Jew?
When the thousands were fed with
the b ,uptiful meal,
Did He give it alone to the faithful
and few?
Oh, scan not too closely the frailties of
those,
Whose bosoms may bleed on cold
winters day;
But give to the friendless who tells
thee his woes,
And from him that would borrow, oh!
turn not away.

In thA Mar AZ 1919.

One hundred years ago the British
abandoned the expedition against Bal
tfmore and withdrew their forces. In
the battle at North Point they had lost
their commander, General Ross. In
the attack by sea they had bombarded
Fort McHenry "a hours, throwing
nearly two thousand shells. Yet, al
most incredible as 1t may appear, only
four of the Americans were killed, and
few others wounded. The morning
after the bombardment the feet, after
taking on board the remnant Of the
land forces, sailed suddenly away, and
left Baltimore safe. Soon afterward
the greater part Of the feet and the
soldiery left Chesapeake bay and
moved southwark, to take part in the
operations along the gulf coast, that
eliminated in the disastrous defeat OF
the invaders at New Orleans early
In January.

Canal Saves Distance.

Opening of the Cape Cod canal en-
ables all vessels as far south as
Charleston, s. c., to save 70 miles of
distance going to and from Boston.
Translated into other terms. this
means that the average delay for the
round trip yearly for barges and
schooners on the outside route is near
ly four days, which is equivalent to a
pecuniary loss of ten cents ton on
the 100000 tons of coal and on the
large amount Of lumber carried by

and lumber carried by steamers Is A.

Russian Soldiers.

Many military experts have pro-
found admiration for the Russian SOL
der, whose very lack Of imagination
and education makes him tenacious
and fearless, devoid Of class ambitions
and sensitiveness. The Slav mind,
quick though 1t be to make plans and
estimates, is slow in interpreting them
into action and movement, SO that the
average Russian moujik may be sent
to certain death or led to victory,
with equal lack of interest in the
event in which he is but an inanfmate
pawn. Nevertheless, he is a fine fight
ing machine, and is well equipped.
Properly directed by skilled generals,
