I'm Uncle Sans most favored pet,
I'm hearty and I'm hale;

But glide round with the mail.
But one thing almost breaks my heart
And my nervous system shocks,
It's the everlasting pennies
That I'm fishing from the box.

And postal cards and such;
And | would like to sell few
Twould please me very much
But man can't sell unless you buy,
No matter how he talks;
So l have to keep on diving
After the pennies in the box
It's all right in the springtime
Or when summer breezes blow
But a different proposition
When it's thirty-two below;
When all your fingers and your toes
Are frozen hard as rocks.
It's most anything but funny
Scratching pennies from the box.
And now. quite confidentially,
I'll tell you something more,
A rural carrier (way out West)
Forgot himself and swore;
Says he. 81 can stand the snowdrifts,
can stand the frozen locks
But blast the measley pennies
In the blasted measley box"
When the roll is called up yonder
And we all shall gather there,
They wouldn't let mail man in
II they knew he'd learned to swear.
If You want st. Peter to open the gate
When your rural carrier knocks,
! Buy stamps, and don't be guilty
OF putting pennies in the box.

Women are insisting that their street
skirts be, made without exaggerating
fullness, and this is probably as far as
anyone will get If the dressmakers
are determined to spread six yards of
material around our ankles, the ma
Jority of women will probably submit,
and in so doing, they will add years to
their age as well as inches to their
hens.
The long, full skirt is peculiarly
awkward in the evening. 1t cannot
obtain dignity, and yet, it looks as
though we will have to face this fash
ion. There are advanced gowns in
which the trimmed skirts flow on the
floor, front, sides and back. So far,
we have held our own quite wei,

WHERE TO PLACE THE PIANO
Appearance of Apartment May Be En-
HANGED or MARRIED by Its
Disposition.

System, order, classification, and
common sense should be taken by the
housewife as the basis of the arrange
ment of all furnishings in the home
from the furniture in the living room
to the contents Of the jelly closet. ac-
cording to publication entitled The
Arrangement of Household Furnish
ings," issued by the New York State
College of Agriculture at Cornell The
arrangement of objects in room, it Is
stated, should follow. repeat, or fit
the structural outlines of the space
used. For example. a piano, table, or
sofa should not be placed diagonally
across the corner of room, but paral-
lei with the length or the breadth of
the room.
This arrangement not only assures
an orderly and restful repetition of
the structure lines of the room, but
prevents a waste of space, and place
for dust to accumulate. The principle
is illustrated by diagrams long,
narrow room may be made to appear
better proportional by placing furni
ture, especially rather large pieces,
across the ends of the room. Plain
space around an object draws atten-
ton to it and enhances it's good quail

Odd Mail Service.

A novel mail service is to be put in
to operation on the Magdalena river,
in the Republic Of Colombia, seasleds
having been planned to ply between
Bogota and the coast By the water
route the distance between the two
points is more than 500 miles. 1t is
expected that it will be covered at an
average speed of nearly forty miles
an hour. Tests were recently made
on the Hudson river, near New York,
with an oddly designed craft which
has been built especially for this serv-
ice. 1t is a broad-beamed glider,
equipped with high-power motor, and
driven by two aerial propellers mount
ed at the stern. 1t is capable of carry
ing a number of passengers, and when
loaded draws only five inches of wa
ter. While travelling at it's maximum
speed, however, the sled requires only
one inch of water, for it skins along
barely cutting the surface. It's slight
draft is made necessary by the shall
lowness of the river on which it is to
operate.
