In the future the carrier will not attempt to go to the - door of every farmer. The carrier will have a route following prescribed roads and covering about twenty-five or thirty miles. He will be scheduled over this route at certain times. Farmers living off of this can put up mail boxes at certain points where they can leave their mail for collection, and where their mail will be delivered. At every cross road will be found a government mail collection box simliar to those used in the cities, where all may deposit mail. By this arrangement twice as much territory can be covered at the expenses which formerly was necces- sary for the smaller routes. The salary of the carriers has been raised from $800 to $400, and upon special permits from the department they can estab­ lish a parcel delivery of their own in connection.

The diet was pre­ scribed and followed and a boy was born. Dr. Schenk's discovery of the secret of sex proved of iafcense interest to the sc ientific world. The doctor gave out his theory a little at a time, finally made a careful announcement of all of it. He said a necessity for the discovery of a means of ordaining sex lay in the girls than boys were bora and that the ratio was on the increase in favor of the girls. In time th» might become indeed an by the gradual etxtfaict- ion of males unless something were done to readjust the ratio of births. th­ in the foregoing "was ffletry. of the medical or the surgical waa employed.

The physical reasons explained by Dr. Schenk as permitting a discretionary establishment of sex were eomplex and were regarded by Ik. Bacon and other physicians as not being wholly satis­ factory. In his theory, however, Dr. Schenk adhered primarily to the law of the cross-heredity of sex.--Chicago Tribune, July 24.

The following letter was written by Col. Ingersoll one week before his death. It was in response to a letter informing him of the death of one who had reached the ripe age of 87 years. It runs thus: "Although I did not know Mrs. B., and although I know that only the old should die, yet I was touched, ev&i be­ yond sadness, when I read your account of her death. As waves follow waves, so generations follow generations. The child gives burial to the am who gave him birth, and hastens on to own last sleep. All are walking along the same road--the road without a turn, the road that is absolutely straight and on which all travel at the same speed. When the travelers sit down the road goes, and takes them with it at exactly the same rate as though they had kept walking. On this road there is no haste and no delay.
