Fremont’s account of “Life a t Frontier Forts,” with illustrations from photographs, and in William Zachary s r j y s n c ^ l^e, perhaps, worthy of considerations T_wMsnejs torwiey«»Ba *iooth for a xoQth The annual report of the Pqstgiqgfcer- General ha$ provoked considerable In* dairy as to the necessity for reform in jjtastal rates. The ideas advanced by tie different articles that have appeared on the Bubjcot as to the most desirable changes that could be made are gener­ ally prompted hy the personal or, business interests of the writer of the theory. We believe that the public gen­ erally/frifitodte the view thpi the Postal Department wa^'^tU^lishedfor thesafe; and r a p ^ jxan siid ifi^ o f letters jot p, business Orp^rs«kial nature; and /o r the' prompt dissemination of news matter, and that all other undertakings of the Postal Department should be secondary to. this. The public demand not only the rapid and Bafo transmission of let­ ters and news matter, but that sthc rates on this, legitimate clas^of .maU, matter shall b e placed a.t,t}w lowest fig­ ure consistent w itlt its c0st-c The an­ nual report of >the Postmaster-General, ahows that the present 2c per ounce rate on letters yielded the Government during, the last year 938,000,000, and that the actual cost of carrying and de­ livering such letters for the same period was but 88,000,000, leaving a clear profit of $30,000,000. But the final balance shown in the report shows that, instead ~oithere"beihga there was an of 85,768,300, profit of $30,000,0007 actual deficiency or loss vInquiry injto the causes of this deficiency5discloses the foot that itisdue, First To carrying through the mails at rates largely under ftost tons of ad­ vertising matter and schemes of every character aod'mcjrcfaandise packages of every' nature, overburdening the al­ ready over-taxed facilities of the mails to buc K an- .ex ten t,as- to render the. prompt' tran^mlsslom•and delivery, of r legitimate mail matter almost' an im­ possibility. ' • • Second. To .the-shippaent.thro.ngh the mails of Government freight th a t could and should be forwarded through other channels'at muohlower.Qpst, . ■ In the face of "this report, a b ill has been introduced in CongreW for the es­ tablishment o f a Parcel’s post, which, proposes still lowe^ postal rates than are now in effect bn h class of business • that has been .la^ejy Jjmtrpmental in reducing a profit of 830,000,000 to an actual loss of 85,708,300. We conclude that it is not of a s much importanceto' the average citizen th a t the cost lo t the . transmission of a package of merchan­ dise or other articles'of like character through the moils shall be less than the Government pays fortransportingit, as that the rates of postage on newspa­ pers and personal and business letters which are the province and property of all shall be placed within the reach of all. The revenue, of the Postal De­ partment, If properly applied, fully Justifies the reduction of letter postage, and it . is undoubtcdlyvthe duty of every voter to urge upon their Representatives in Con­ gress to legislate for penny postage on letters and for the continuance of the present reasonable rates tha t are af­ forded the newspaper interests o f th e country. The surplus ■ revenues o fthe Postal Department should be used for this purpose, and for the improvement of the facilities fo r local delivery of le t­ ters and newspapers, and for the ex­ tension of mail routes to regions of the Country not already favored with ac­ ceptable postal communications, rather than that they should be used to build tip a branch of public service that is not required hy the public, and which experience has demonstrated will ex­ haust the revenues and absorb the facil­ ities needed for other and more impor­ tant branches of the postal service. Cow-Htafa, Cow-birds are so called from an odd fancy they have of taking stride on the cow’s back occasionally while in the posture, The female is homely enough to bo called a cow-bird, being of a uni­ form dusky grayish brown, bu t the Jhaleis a fine-looking bird, clad in an entire Suit of rich black ’velvet, with hehd and neck of a deep maroon color. Cow-birds usually look for the homes of hints that are smaller than themselves, ami If fortunate In finding one where •the owners have gone out cmbusiness <*r pleasure the lady-bird fakes posses­ sion of the nest and leaves an egg there, and then quietly takes her departure. This is not a very l*dy-llk<* proceeding, bat there may be some reason for it, either the birds ate too lazy to build bests for themselves o r they don’t know . how.

The reason for their faith is this: Dr. Sage’s remedy - has proved itself the right cure for ninety-nine out o f one hundred cases o f Catarrh in the Head, and the World’s Dispensary Medical Associa­ tion can afford to take the risk o f your being the one hundredth. The only question is— are you willing to make the test, u the makers are willing to take the risk? I f so, the rest is easy. You pay your druggist 50 .cents and the trial begins.
