is also conspicuous.

that breakage in transit may be re-

should be wrapped according to parcel

Considering the cost of the contain

which 1t is wrapped. Odds and ends
of paper and Irvine are not desirable

aims to make business of shipping
eggs by parcel post should procure a

proper size to wrap his parcels, and

Year Of christ,s Birth.

History tells us that for 800 years
the Christians had no calendar of their
own, but reckoned the years according
to the customs OF the nations to which
they belonged The Roman Christians
used the Gamma Urbis Conditiae" or
year of the founding of Rome, to count
from; others counted from the reign
of Diocletian, calling it ''the Era of the
Martyrs" and still others used the
calendar of the Copts of Egypt. In the
sixth century Denis the Little, Greek
monk living in Rome, made IL calendar
counting from the Incarnation, the
date of which he fixed at 753 A. U. @.
So we commonly say that Rome was
founded in 1913 b. @. At the beginning
of the eighth century, the venerable
Bede pointed out that this was an his
tOricaI bIunder But no general no.
tice was taken of his criticism, and the
error has continued to this day. His
toric facts have enabled modern schol-
airs to determine, without much pos
sibility of doubt, the exact year of the
birth of Jesus, and to place it at what
we call B. G.

single dozen of eggs in carton prop
erly packed and wrapped for mailing
will run from two to three pounds, de-
pending ON the nature of the particular
coutainer, the size of the eggs, and the
packing ana wrapping used. If the
coutalner be very light one and the
eggs small, the parcel may fall within
the two-pound limit, and the postage,
therefore, within the dr8t and second
zones, or 150-mlle limit, would be six
cents. Most parcels containing u doz-
en- eggs will exceed two pounds but
win not reach three; therefore the
postage on them will be seven cents
within the first and second zones. A
parcel containing two dozen eggs will
add perhaps two cents 70 the postage,
though sometimes only one cent, de-
pending ON the nature of the container
and the packing and wrapping.
Ii should be observed that the larger
the parcel (within the size and weight
limit) the cheaper Is the postage, as
the first pound Of every package costs
i've cents within the Hrst and second
zones, while each additional pound, up
