Postmaster General Meyer la of the opinion that It Is prejudicial to the welfare of "Young America" to employ him as a special delivery messenger In the postal serv ice, and has Issued an order to the effect that whenever a vacancy occurs in the force of special delivery mes sengers the position shall not be filled and clerks shall be employed to effect special delivery. Mr. Meyer says that. these messes ger boys are called upon frequently to visit low resorts and are often com pelled to travel long distances late at night In lonely outlying .sections of the great cities, falling to make dellv erles at times through fear or weari ness. The object of the order Is to bring about the gradual discontinu ance of the service of these juvenile messengers. Special delivery messengers have been employed since 1886, and at pres ent there are 2205 engaged at 189 postofflces with ages as follows: Eighty-seven, 13 years; 167, 14 years; 318, 16 years; 654, 16 years; 499, 17 years, and 178, 18 years or more. At 344 offices substitute clerks and carriers do the work. In New York substitute carriers have delivered all special delivery matter for a number of years, and in Boston, substitute carriers are being used wholly at the main office and at the larger stations. The postmaster at Baltimore has reduced the force of boys gradually for the last three years and given over the work to the substitutes, the boys now numbering only nine. Certain of the large cities, however, continue using boys exclus ively. Chicago has 337 boys, Phila delphia 114, and Pittsburg 73.. A MIRACLE OF SVRGEIIY. Doctors Accomplished What Nature Failed to Perform. One . of the most remarkable achievements of surgery has been ac complished at Portland, Ore. A little girl was born without an upper Up, a roof to her mouth, or a palate. To day she Is almost perfect In all three. From the age of three months to her present age of 6 years successive op erations have been performed, which Include drawing together a separation of the upper Jaw bone and a complete restoration of palate and Up. She oan now talk almost as well as any other child of her age and Is without facl&i disfigurement. Had It not been for skillful surgery she would never had been able to talk and her facial dis figurement would have been serious. liUAKmAMJUP.
