APRIL 0, 1911 Cost of Transporting the Mail According to statistics just com- | piled by flic Railway Mail Commit- j tee from reports submitted on forms prescribed by the post office j department by IX7 railways, opera- 1 ! ting 175,710 miles on which there i are 2,411 mail routes, the railways of flic United States not only re | ceive less compensation for han ' dling the mails than they receive for handling express, but in pro portion to the cost incurred by the j roads and the value of the service ! | rendered by them the compensa- j lion they receive for handling the n>.; ilB is less than that received for I any other service. For flic year ending .June 30, ! 1909 the average earnings per pas- I senger train mile was $1.27 while j I the average per freight train mile j I was 82. i (>. Ihi average passenger i I train is 300 feet long and if it car- j ried mail only in all its cars it i would earn only 97 cents per mile, j 'I he railways receive less for mail j than from either express or pas sengers. The other service render- I ed by passenger trains, while the total from the three is less than ' half of that received from freight. ! | These figures are based on the i ; amount the' railways received for i I hauling one foot of car space one ! I mile in the transportation of pas- I sengers, mail and express. In November, 1909, the railways haul ed 1,153,110,24") feet of car space j one mile in transportation of mail | for which they received 83,721,79(>; | ! 1,320.108,589 feet one mile in the 1 . j transportation of express for 85,- j ; 075,222.00 and 9,902,370,150 feet j | one mile in the transportation of i passengers for 843,738,723.00. j 1 he average revenue per thousand 1 j foot miles, equivalent to battling a j train of twenty 50 feet cars one | mile was therefore as follows: I mail, $3.23; express, 83.80; passen- i gers 84.42, the roads receiving 19 ] , per cent, more per foot mile for j hauling express and 37 per cent. | more for hauling passengers than j they received for hauling the mails. ( I bi.s method of comparison was i used as the railroads claim it is manifestly unfair to compare the rate per ton on mail and express since under the regulations and orders of the Post Office De partment railway postal cars are limited to an average capacity of about three tons while express cars carry from 20 to 30 tons. The ! Post Office Department requires the railways to haul 22 tons of car for each ton of mail while the ex press companies comply with the 1 ! demands of the railways that ex j press matter shall be economically j loaded. i.ln addition, the railways com i panics carry the mails between sfa j tions and post offices at six sevenths of the mail stops. This I service the Postmaster General has ! estimated would cost the Depart ment 84,093,000.00 annually if rendered by it. No such service is rendered the express companies. Postal clerks are carried free while on duty and between the ends of their lines and their homes ami the roads furnish annually 81,- 000,000.00 of free transportation to 1 various po tl officials. All these persons have the legal status of I passenger and the railways are re quired to ay damages in ea i of injury. The express companies j assume all such liability for their employes. The railroads receive 1 pay for every pound of express | they haul but under the system of weighing the mails only once in four years, the roads get no com ! pensation for the carriage of the i increase during this period, aver aging G per cent, or about $3,000,- i 000.00 worth of service per year, j From 1907 to 1910 the expenses of the Post Office Department in ' creased about $40,000,000.00 but the railroads though they handled !22 per cent more mail, received ; $352,760.00 less in 1910 than in 1907.

The wildest superstitions are rife among the natives of Korea, says a writer In the Wide Worl.l Magazine. Everything Ik ascribed to the good or evil Influences of invisible spirits, whom they strive to propitiate by in cessant and petty sacrifices. The ser pent Is revered as sacred and fed as a domestic pet. Marriage Is a ques tion of etiquette and is arranged by the parents. A live goose is given as a betrothal gift, as a symbol of fidelity and long life. Filial piety is cultivated to a remarkable degree, a son consid ering it his duty to follow his father to prison or exile. Sacrifices of pigs, sheep and goats are offered to the fir mament, to \vhich they pray for rain or fair weather and the removal of plague and misfortune. America Claims the Bean. T'ntil 18S:i the bean was believed to have originated in Asia. Researches among the flora of ancient Peruvian sepulchres show that it was known in antiquity in Peru. No fewer than 50 different species have been found in the old burying places and 49 of the 50 were distinctly American. The se pulchres explored date back to the period beginning with the twelfth century and ending with the fifteenth. Within them was a great number of boans —so many that it is reasonable to suppose that beans held an import ant place in the agriculture of the an cient people of Peru. Probably the common dried bean of modern com merce was well-known in the antique world long before the discovery of Columbus. "Filthy Lucre." The expression "filthy lucre" Is of biblical origin, and is to be found in the third chapter of the first book of Timothy, where the qualifications nec essary for the office of a bishop are thus set forth: "This is a true saying. If a man desireth the office of a bish op, he desireth a good work. A bishop must then be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of K ood behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, ; iot a brawler, nor covetous." Bogus Cloth. What is Paint? Some people think anything labelled "paint" in paint, but there's a difference, just as much as between one kind of cloth and another. Cloth nine-tenths cotton and one-tenth wool, is bogus cloth. Cloth all wool wears to the limit. Paint at a price be tween 75 cents and §1.50 is like bogus cloth. The L. &M. Paint is all wool and wears to the limit. There's a reason. Our Agent is Harry S. Lloyd. Saved His Mother's Life.
