Cfep Matt FttUitln Onof IfwClilH Factors In Out Pntptttty and Prog-re. i the cem: most valuable of civil benefit Is such a commonplace matter, that we scarcely give it a thought It would take a win ter on a whaler nipped In an ice floe to make us truly appreciable of the worth of the postal service. What a wonder ful thing it is ! Wonderful in its organ ization, with its vast machinery for the collection and distribution of letters, its railway mall cars, its route riders, the unfailing order and precision of its methods. Wonderful It is too in its re sults. It knits together families widely separated. It carries across the sea some tender lover's message or perhaps a little flower picked from the daisied grave of an English churchyard. Every hour of every uav the mail bag is packed with words which waken love and laugh ter, and words which deepen the furrow in the cheek and dim the failing sight with bitter tears. Hut with ell this there is going on through the mall service a dissemina tion of human knowledge, a reaching out of human help which is one of the crowning' blessings of our century. The correspondence schools led by Chautau qua, are sending to every village and hamlet the broader knowledge which is so eagerly craved by many who are shut in to the homely duties of a humble life. Without the mall system this plan of education would be impracticable. Every mail, too, carries from the great centers, the advice of great physicians, which it would be impossible for the distant public to obtain were it not for the mails. Few people realise bow many thousand people depend on the man service lor meuicai treatment. Not long ago when some postal affairs were being; discussed in connection with the erection of the new postoflice building in Buffalo, N. Y., some light was thrown on this subject by the statement that the mall by Dr. R, V. Pierce amounted daily to something over t,50o pieces. Of course this is not a common case, be cause Dr. Pierce's relation as chief con sulting physician to Buffalo's famous institution. The Invalids' Hotel and Sur gical Institute, makes his advice and that of his staff of nearly a score of skilled and experienced specialists much sought after, especially by women, to the treatment and cure of whose special diseases Dr. Pierce has devoted over thirty years of almost constant labor. But though this example is out of the ordinary, u may serve as an evidence of the amazing benefits reaped by the pub lic from the mall service. It puts every jutlylug hamlet in touch with the most idvanccd medical specialism of the day. It gives at a cost of a two-cent stamp, the skill and experience that it has taken years to acquire. Literally at the cost of a two-cent stamp, since Dr. Pierce invites sick women to consult him by letter without charge. And this would seem to be one of the most remarkable services rendered by the postal system, perhaps the supreme service of all. For while It is a splendid thing to be able to shop in New York while living in Kan sas, and a craml tliinir to be able to command tue ml the learning of great pro while working in the Miohiean lessors woods, it is still grander thinjr that by moans of this cheanlv sunnlled M-rvier. men like Dr. Pierce, who have the dls- podtlon to be helpful, nrc enabled to t,lftae tKelr "kill n,m knowledge at the au , of Ulosc who are Mt ,, , down by disease, without the possimluy of help from those alwut them. When mi cuiitwiiplntw tho vast and fariwdi- ing bsuefits of the mail service, so briefly Xow upon in this aitlcle, it makas the familiar gray uniform of the postman the most gloriousot all uniforms, fbrtt Is the familiar wujh iiijicKJuiicmoi uipanny 01 peace. souuers 01 tiie armv It makes one fesl like takhiL' his hat off to the on-rushing mail train, and cheer ing tlie work and wisdom of Uncle Sam.
