"Then there were the lilacs on the
bushes. Such lovely lilacs rs there
were. Some were white, and some
were purple, and there were lovely
lavender ones, which were called PER-

"And then came the time for roses
and lilies, peonies and tall Iris fow-
ers. And the more flowers that came
out, the more did the butterflies and
humming birds come to the garden for
their meals of delicious flower honey.
Now one day. the flowers were growing
up that had been planted by seed. The
roses were whispering in the soft sum-
mer wind. And their whispering made
the air SO fragrant and sweet. That

China's Queer Mail Sesvicesef

FROM Popular Mechanics.
In a little more than twenty years.
China has built up . national postal
system which is one Of the 6esesand
cheapest in the world. This Aas Aesn-
done in spite of extrAordinAkH i6dMsi
culties, due not only to the ~AotneD-
Of the population and territorySetyoA'
but also to the fact that In EoooaS
years the monarchy has given peaAete
a republic and several provinces AAve
declared their independence ReGavd-
less Of revolutions, the service has
been maintained. Since there are
only about $500 miles Of railway for
carrying mail in China, big para OF
the transportation is done on boat
lines aggregating 21.soo miles. and by
courier lines, which total 143.e00
miles. Snow sleds, wheeibarfows.
carts, pack animals, RATS, boate and
bicycles are all employed in this re-
markable system. which has features
both picturesque and hazardous. To-
day in the large cities there are as
MANY as twelve mail deliveries daily.
A letter for local delivery requires a
stamp worth one-haH-cent, American
money, and for domestic delivery a
stamp worth a cent and one-half,
American money. In 1905 76,0o0.000
pieces of mail were handled. while in
1916 the number was S50.000.000. In
recent years the department has
shown a profit and has made steady
growth in public favor.
