It says:
"A reus innble time will be n!

The right of a publisher to extend
credit for subscriptions to his pub
lication is not denied or question
ed but his compliance or noncom
pliance with this regulation will be
taken into consideration in de
termining whether the publication
is entitled to transmission at the
second class postage rates."
This is specific and means that
publishers will be obliged to cut off
ill subscribers who are one year
in arrears. If this is not done the
right of the publication to pass
through the mails as second class
matter will be questioned, and
which, if denied, would mean the
payment of more postage by the
publisher for the sending of a pa
per than the subscription to the
same would amount to.
Hence subscribers must not
blame editors who refuse to extend
credit beyond one year.

WEATHER TIPS COSTLY.

Uo you know tilt, Utloltj Sin.
qMMiils a million and a half dol
ars tacii year to obtain advanci
nfoi imition concerning the xvcuth
r for his people? He does and
t's more money than all the pow
jrs of Kuropo combined expend
innuiilly for this purpose so it
lands to reason that he ought h
nave the best weather bureau in
the world. Sometimes wo get u
little bit upset when the weather
predictions don't hit the mark, but
iftcr all xve have to admit that the
aggregate results, taken year after
year, arc really wonderful.
lid you ever stop to think how
much money the weather man saves
for the people of the country?
Well, some years ago a largo in
Wraace company, Which thought
the weather bureau was overrated,
started out to srather statistics on
this subject. They came to the
conclusion that through the warn
ings of the weather man no less
than $80,000,000 Wis saved to the
people of tho I'nited States each
year. Pretty good return for an
outlay ot a million and a half a
year, isn't it.
Probably the most important
work which the weather bureau is
now conducting is the study of the
sun, which is being made at Mount
Weather, which is a peak in the
Lllne Ridge, about sixty-tive miles
from Washington. The weather
bureau officials came to the con
clusion that the proper develop
ment of their service depended up
on determining the relation of the
great orb to the meteorological
conditions of the earth. It holds,
they believe, the. key to the myster
ies of the cyclone, drought, tor
rential flood, etc., and they are
now seeking that key.
How to Avoid Pneumonia.
You can avoid pneumonia and
other serious results from a cold
by taking Foley's Honey a id Tar.
It stops the cou?h, heals the
luugs, and expels the cold from
the system. Refuse any but the

A Family of Small People.
Henry Frey, of Lancaster coun
ty, who was the smallest person
in that part of the State, died
last Sabbath, aged 50 years.
Frey,s height was !$ feot and 1)
inches. His brother, William,
measured !J feet 10 inches, and
another, brother Michael, is 8
feet and 11 inches in height.
Thoir father, who survives, is
only 8 feet 1 1 inches tall. Henry
is also survived bv four children,
all of whom are quite small.
Parental Advice.
"Johnnie," said his father, "I
am surprised to hear that yai
have dared to dispute with youi
mother."
' But she was wrong pa," re
plied Johnnie.
"That has nothing to do with
it," siid the boy's father; "you
might just as well p otit by my
experience, and learn once for all
that when a woman says a thing,
it is so, whether it is or not."

Second Trial of Thaw.
The second trial of Harry Thaw
for the murder of Stanford White
on the night of Juue 26, 1900, has
been nearly a year after the be
ginning of the first trial. The de
fence will be temporary insanity,
new evidence will be introduced
and there is promise of "mnay new
thrills'' the euphonious term for
scandal and obscenity. However,
the court room contains seats for
only 1 iO persons, including news
paper men, and therefore the shock-
ng details will be published less
widely than they were a year ago.
The first trial lasted three months,
ind cost the defence a quarter of a
million dollars. A trial drawn out
to such extraordinary length bord
irs on the farcical, for a prosecu
tion involving the life or liberty of
iny man could bo disposed of in
;hreo weeks without injustice to,
r discrimination against, either
the prosecutor or the defendant.
Nothing could so greatly extend it
ut the hearing of a mass of ir
relevant and immaterial testimony,
including much of the testimony
jf so-called "experts."
It is to be hoped that this trial
will result in acquittal or convic
tion. But if the jury disagree it
would be better to release 1 haw
than to try him again; for another
-rial would be more injurious to
-he morals of the public than
would release.
Final negotiations have been
-ompleted whereby the Forestry
ureau secures control of 17,000
teres in Schuylkill and the north
m-u part of Bucks counties, which
will be used as a forestry and game
preserve. The cost to the State
will be 50,000 for the purchase of
the tract. A large part of the
tract is on the Blue Mountains
near 1'ort Clinton.

Postal Bunks in France.
In view of the recommendation
of Postmaster General Meyer, that
a system of postal savings banks
bo established iu this country,
much interest attaches to a report
recently submitted to the govern
ment at Washington by Frank H.
Mason, United States Consul Gen
oral at Paris. From this it ap
pears that the postal savings banks
in France have 4,345,446 deposi
tors and $207, 519,432 in deposits.
The fact that the private. and
municipal banks have 7,422,325 de
positors and deposits to the amount
of $666,953,574 is no indication
that the postal savings baeks are
not entirely successful. In fact
the figures show that the postal
banks are doing what was expect
ed of them encouraging small de
posits. While the private and
municipal savings, banks havo on
deposit not far from three times as
much money as the postal banks,
they have not nearly twice as
many depositors.
The purpose of postal savings
banks is. or ought to be, to incul
cate habits of thrift among those
who have not been accustomed to
save anything, by making it con
venient for them to put away small
sums where safety is guaranteed
by the government.
Analysis of the figures, will show
that it is the smaller depositors
that is to say the poorer people
who use the postal savings banks.
The average credit of each deposi
tor in the postal savings banks of
France is a trifle more than $60.
The average credit of each deposi
tor in a private or municipal sav
ings bank is a tritle less than $90.
Postmaster General Meyer bus
distinctly stated that his purpose is
not to run an opposition tosoxit
ing savings banks. Tho postal
savings banks, if established ac
cording to Mr. Meyer's plan, will
pay lower interest but will offer
places of safe-keeping for the sav
ings of those who have little con
fidence in banks generally like
many of the foreigners among us
but unlimited faith in the govern
ment. As everything that will promote
thrift and sensible economy is to
be encouraged. Postmaster Gen
eral Meyer's recommendation
should receive the careful aud in
telligent consideration of (Jon-gress.
