Reports show that the govM-nmeni
lost seventeen million dollars lad
year on prslal bnslnees. If Cnch
Bam figured the coat of carrying hit
own mail and the cost of carry Inp
all the franked mall his postal boi
uess would show a large profit. Ca
rying his own mall alone .Is worth
forty-three million dollars and if h-
charged himself with that alone htr
business coold show a profit of about
twenty-six million dollnrs a year
Why shonld Congressmen, who an
paid for t heir services, be allowed
send unt free tons of matter, more
than 25 per cent of whlck is never
read, and Is of no benefit to the peo
ple.
Tbere are a million children in tbe
United States, perhaps there may be
some here, who get little or no help
in their rtudies or In moral train
ing at home. If these children are to
be Improved they must receive the
aid in the school room. They labor
under great disdd vantage and the
teacher mast appreciate this fact,
and allow for tbe serious handioai
in extending to them extra patience
and especial care. They most be ir
spired to study la jhe school room.
and their moral and mental training
must depend largely on the encrur
a&ement they obtain from their
teachers. This is a responsibility
which all teachers mast assume and
on the fallhfnlness with which it is
met may depend largely whether the
child is fitted for u saccessfol life,

LIMIT OF EFFICIENCY.
An Unanswerable Argument In Favif
of Short Sermons.
The Yale tradition spoken of belo r
must be of nineteenth century origin,
lor the Connecticut divines of the
days when Yale was founded would
hardly have got to their "secondly"
In tbe time allowed.
President Hadley, a writer In the
rsrfbemlan says, is as witty as he t.i
leArned. The Sunday services at Yale
are conducted by prominent clergy
men of ruany denominations and from
rrany cities. When these vlsitloj
preachers occasionally ask Preside it
Hadley bow long they shall speak lie
Invariably replies:
"There is no limit, sir, upon the
time you may preach; but there 13 a
Yale tradition that the most souls are
saved during the first twenty minutes."
High-Pressure Gas.
In many European cities extensive
use is being made of high-pressure
gas-lamps for street-lighting, and to
some extent the lamps are displaci'ig
electricity. They are furnished w.tn
Inverted mantle burners, nnd in F;,r
lln tbe gas is supplied through Ma'i
neahcim steel pipe. In ronie of t e
systems the air is compressed, and in
one case pure oxygen Is supplied to
the consumers. In London a type of
lamp called "self-Intensifying" is em
ployed, the air being compressed I y
mill-Inn the heat of tbe products t
combustion to operate a heat englr.e.
In Vienna arc-lights are used to il
luminate a park above the trees, and
gaslamps are employed below. In con
nection with these lamps, various au
tomatic lighting and extinguishing de
vices are in use. and much taste is
displayed in the forms and arrange
ment of their supports.
A Safer Job.
"So you don't guide hunting-parties
any more?" asked tbe atranger.
"Nope," said tbe guide. "Got tired
of being mistook for a deer."
"How do you earn a living no?"
"Guide flshln'-partles. So far, no
body ain't mistook ne fer a ash.'
I
