Mail Boxes Must be Iron Says Department Washington, Aug. 3 Postmaster-General Cortelyou's order, which goes into effect on August 1, permitting patrons of rural de livery to make their own boxes or to have them made to order, provided such boxes are eo con structed as to fall within the requirements of the department, seem to have been misunderstood. Misleading comments have ap peered stating that farmers can now whittle down their wooden boxes to make a rural mail post box in any way they chooee. The order of the Postmaster General provides exactly the con tiary. All boxes must be made of galvanized sheet iron or sheet steel of certain specified dimensions. Wooden boxes are regarded a neither secure nor weather proof within the requirements of the de partment and all such boxes now in use will be gradually eliminated from the service. Kuife for Degenerates Philadelphia, Aug. 3. Follow ing the theories of the country's foremost phyiicians and the recent ruling of the courts, the Pennsyl vania Society to Prevent Children From Cruelty has instituted the practice of performing operations upon the children given into its charge, where medical opinion is that such a course is likely to pre vent a criminal career. The firit subjects were operated upon yesterday at the infirmary of the society. In all seven children were put under the knife by a number of the city's most promi nent surgeons. A number of other similar operations will take place soon. Of 147 children examined, 50 per cent were found to be suffering from imperfect refraction of the eyes. Glasses have been ordered for all of these. Finally Captures Her Lover Seattle, Wash., Aug, 3. Married through the kindness of some po lice officers and some bystanders was the experience of August Ha kala and Maggie Kauppi, both res idents of Astoria, Oregon. Maggie Lfound August after following her sweetheart around the country for more than a year. Hakala was advised by the police to marry the girl and avoid trouble. This he was willing to do, but he did not have any money. . A subscription was started, and in five minutes $5 was raised and August and Maggie were made man and wife. They went away happy and satisfied. To Kaft Logs South That it is more economical to fell Oregon fir trees, railroad them to the Columbia river, thence convey them in rafts down the coast to San Diego, Cal., and there convert them into lumber than to do the manufacturing here and ship by cars and vessels is the belief of the Incorporator of the Benaoii l.uui Iter Company.

I talked to him awhile and when be wasn't looking I slipped two or three cent down the lole he had dug. When he re sumed his labors his eye bulged. He couldn't believe his luck. It was better than finding pay dirt to watch him. He dug up the cash with a yell and started to find bis mother further down the beach. While he was gone I slipped in a few more coppers and threw a little sand over them. He came right back and began digging again and of course he eoon made another find. That eettled him. He gath ered in the goods and then he buckled down to work on that hole like a prospector.

Commenting on the rapid growth of telephone communication in Amerlea, the London Times notes that In Eng land the telephone is a luxury, more particularly in private life, while In the United States It is a necessity of both businesa and social service. But telegraphing is much cheaper In Eng land than here. It is proposed to hand all the public lands of Hussia over to the peasants. Secretary Hitchcock can tell the Rus sians that they are undertaking a mighty big job unless the lumber and cattle syndicates of Russia are more tractable than they are In this country. A British ftiilor has been employed by the war department to make Uncle Sam's enlisted men look like soldiers. Hitherto thoy have rubbed along by merely fighting like soldiers, and no people are more wise to that fact than the Britisli themselves. The czar is said to be surrounded now by guards who cannot speak Rus sian. Perhaps he .fears that bombs might be concealed In some of tha polysyllabic utterances of his own countrymen. DENTISTRY DR.
