Until quite recently the postal system
In Persia was very loosely conducted.
It was under the superintendence of a
minister of posts, who, however, does
not work the system himself. Each
road is fanned to some merchant or
wealthy person, who pays a certain sum
to the minister for the privilege, and
makes as much money out of the busi
ness as he can.
On the south coast of Patagonia is the
most remarkable postal service in the
world. Close to the post is a large sign
post with the inscription: "Poet Office."
Attached by chains to the foot of the
sign poet is a strong chest, which has
served as a post office, master, clerk, all
in one, for many years. The ships pass
ing through the Magellan straits send
a boat to the shore to Tetch any letters
that may be addressed to their places of
all, and at the same time to leave any
letters tbey may wish to have taken in
other directions.

"Barrel kites" ore the novel invention
of Miss Nellie Rons, of Fruit Vale, Cal.
says the New York World. Three
months ago she demonstrated ' then
practicability, and since then hai
QAM FRAMOIQOO proved, as she claims, that they fly
OHIM mnllWlOVUi hiirhpr than anv other kites ever made
on the Pacific coast. A recent visitor
to what Miss Bose calls her "kitery"
saw simply a very clean and neatly
whitewashed back yard. Against some
deserted henroosts leaned some queer
cloth and bamboo objects that looked
like flattened balloons with the ends
knocked out. The largest were five feet
high by four feet broad, and they were
of all colors. The string used in flying
them is about two miles long.
The young kite-flyer, who holds that
every woman should have a hobby and
who thoroughly enjoys hers, makes all
her own kites. Then she flies nine or
ten at onee, to the great edification of
the surrounding neighborhood and to
the delight of the small boys, who are
always willing to help haul them in.
Each kite is named, and "McKiuley"
and "Orover" compete with those bear
ing less famous names to see which can
climb the highest. Parrel-kite flying
is said to te as pretty as It is success
ful, and California's champion kite-
flyer wears her distinction very grace
fully.

QUI OH: TI3VI13 t
Ihrasee Do Kot Soaad
Children' Months.
The Transcript has been appealed to
in a matter that has proved perplexing
in other families than that of the mother
who asks for advice. It is the question
of teaching children to refrain from say
ing: "Yes, sir," and "No, sir," and have
them repeat the name of the person ad
dressed in replying, as, "Yes, Mrs.
Smith," "No, mamma," and the like.
English children are taught that this is
correct, the reason assigned over there
being that the endlessly reiterated "Sir
and "Ma'am" belong to the servants and
tradespeople, and is indicative of in
feriority. As the correspondent points
out, however, in France, where class dis
tinctions also exist, the monsieur and
madame are not left off in polite society.
It is laborious, as many will testify,
both to the small child and his listener,
to hear the struggles with his manners
in this respect. He is often not sure of
the new name, anil in his effort to do
as he has been told the artless talk of
the child becomes priggish and cum
bersome, or if he abandons the attempt
altogether, his "Yes." and "No" bound
curt and unmannerly. A compromise
that has been known to be effective
is to teach the children of a household
to use: "Yes, mamma," "No, papa,"
"Yes, Uncle Ned," and so on, with the
familiar names of the family connec
tion, leaving the "Ma'ams" and "Sirs"
for the strangers who may come. This
distinction, snys the mother who offers
It, is for the children while they are
young. When they are in their teens
it is easy to make them understand
the little niceties of courteous speech
and follow them correctly.
In summing up the matter, to refer
again to the Boston controversy, this
paragraph is used: "No doubt there is
such a thing as being too lavish in our
following of English manners, and the
listener is half inclined to think that
this may be one of the good many mat
ters in which it might have been just
an well to declare our independence as
In the matter of paying taxes on tea,"

fled, however, and the next moment
shoved one of her own fair hunds iato
the tank and grabbed a carp by the
gills. She yanked it up in the air after
the manner of one who doesn't propone
to be fooled in so important a matter as
buying a fish, and held it at arm's
length for inspection.
At least, she started to hold it out.
Unfortunately she had picked up the
biggest fish in the cart. It was a carp
that didn't care much about womrn,
anyway, and particularly a woman who
considered herself well enough ac
quainted to run her fingers through his
breathing apparatus. He at once be
gan to go through a contortion act of
the most intricate and vigorous descrip
tion, his mouth wide open and his tail
marking out three-foot circles at the
rate of 40 a minute.
The suddenness with which the fish
started in on this programme was too
much for the woman. In her hurry to
let go of the carp &he forgot about her
basket and their contents. As her
linns flow un the baskets flew down. In
the Eleventh ward the sidewalks are as
hard as if not harder than in any of the
other wards, and eggs have very little
show in a contest with them. There
were eggs in one basket two dozen of
them.
Unlewa the rain has washed thf-m
away, those eggs are down on tne .Elev
enth ward sidewalk yet. They wouldn't
have been of very much use to the wom
an after they struck the walk, except as
scrambled eggs. In the other basket
there were strawberries and a steak and
a roll of butter.
All of these were saved from the gen
eral wreck, however, with theexception
of the1 st eak. Ah enterprising Eleventh
ward dog feasted upon that.
The woman didn't stay to buy any
fish. Perhaps she had lost her appetite
for carp. Anyway, she gathered up the
remnants of her marketing and sailed
majestically down the street.
The fish peddler gazed after her a mo
ment. Then he chuckled to himself:
Yah : dose carp ish fresh but not so
fresh ni dot tomans, pyehimminy!"

"When I went to a nerve specialist
first," said a man who was once an in
valid, "he told me that one way to judge
of the condition of a person' nerves
was to watch hi thumbs. Ever since
that time I have found the greatest
fascination in looking at people's
thumbs. The doctor said that if they
moved involuntarily outward it was a
sign that the nerves of that man or
woman were not in the best condition.
I find myself now sweeping the line
that sits opposite me in a car, and if
that doctor's test is a good one there is
a surprising number of people in his
town whose nerves need looking after.
There are few among the women who do
not involuntarily move the thumbs out
ward at intervals of every few minutes,
and when your attention has once been
attracted to it the process of watching
their gloved hands grows very interest
ing. I have found the habit much lees
frequent among men; but take the av
erage number of women in a cable car
and it will be a surprise to you to see
how many of them indulge unconscious
ly in this little habit. I only hope it
does not mean anything as serious as
it might indicate if that nerve special
ist's diagnosis was a good one."

Disastrous Effect of Foolish Question
Upon Congressional Oratory.
There are times when the question or
remark of a persistent interrupter will
destroy the effect of a speech and dis-
ourage the orator almost to the point
of breaking down, says the Troy Times.
When Bryan, of Nebraska, in the Fifty-
third congress, wug in the midst of a
hetorical climax and with arms up-
ifted was gushing a very familiar line.
(he house was convulsed by the quea-
lon of Walker, of Massachusetts:
"Who wrote that?" The whole thing
vvaa so ridiculous that it waa five min
utes before Bryan could go on. Here ia
nother: Thomas Bartlett, of Vermont,
ivas renowned for his nights of elab
orate rhetorical oratory, and a seat in
ongress was the special goal of his
ambition. When he was elected a story
of how he had been silenced by an audi-
nee of college boys got around, and on
the occasion of the new member's first
ippearance the hoime was prepared to
receive him in anything but a serious
hplrit. Kising to Indorse a proposition
which had jut been vigorously st
acked be begun to declaim imprewdve-
ly : "Sir, were it not for the rules of the
house I would )our upon the opponents
of this measure the vials of my wrath-
He got no farther. Mr. Polk, of Ten-
nesuwe, was ujion his feet in a moment,
moving, with every appearance of eager
ntercst, "thnt the rules le MLHpendid
mid the gentleman allowed to lmurl"
finch a disconcerting burnt of laughter
followed that the unfortunate orator
could only Hiibpldn wrathfully into si
lence and his nut.

Tho Snake Had the Beat of It,
A Quaker driving a single horse
chaise up a narrow lane happened to
meet a young man who was also in a
single horse chaise. There was not
room enough for them to pass each
other, unless one of them would back
his carriage, which both refused. "I'll
not make way for you," said the young
fellow, with an oath. "I think I am
older than thou art," said the Quaker,
"and therefore have a right to expect
thee to make way for me." "I won't.
resumed the first. He then pulled out
a newspaper and began to read, as be
sat still in his chaise. The Quaker, ob
serving him, pulled out a pipe and some
tobacco from bis pocket, lighted his
pipe, and sat and puffed away very
comfortably. "Friend," said he, "when
thou hast read that paper I should be
glad if thou wouldst lend it to me."
The young man gave up the contest. '

her novel ways of helping the needy.
