Modern Inventions—Parcel Post.
(By George Fitch.)
The parcel post is an invention
which makes every day look like
Christmas in a postolfice.
By means, of the parcel post
one may mail packages all over
the world at reasonable rates.
Before I lie United States adopted
the parcel post, it was possible to !
send packages to Europe or (R*r- j
many for a small sum, but if a
nian wanted to mail a package of
laundry weighing live pounds to
a nearby town, the only way lie
could do it was to mail it In Eng
land and then have ii mailed
hack.
Now. however, il is possible lo
make almost as much usetofthc
postolfice department as if it
were, a real public service corpor
ation. By means of the parcel j
post! the unlerrilicd citizen can j
order bis Christmas turkey at
half price from the bosom of the
country and have1 it delivered to
him with or without its head on
Christmas morning by the limit
ing carrier.
The parcel post is designed to
give the ordinary citizen who
pays for it as much service as
the congressman who doesn’t.
For many years congressmen
have been able U> send bedsteads
and milch cows home by mail and
we are assured that as soon as
arrangements are perfected, the
same privilege will be extended to
ail.
When this time conies post
masterships will not be so pop
ular. When the postmaster has
finished stuffing an over grown
calf and a corn shelter into a mail
sack and has distributed a quar
ter of beef, a bicycle and a dozen
rocking chairs among the var
ious lock boxes in his office, he
will mop his brow and sigh for a
change of administration.
Under the parcel post the mail
carrier becomes one of our prin
cipal beasts of burden, and the
man who has a grudge against
his carrier can secure a horrible
revenge by mailing a few paving
bricks to himself every day.

Learn Caution in Vour Speech.
Learn caution in speech; there
is no need of telling all you
know to every casual acquain
tance. Be patient and achieve
the joy of enduring a few trials. '
We are all called upon to stand
for a good deal in this life; if
not in one way, then in another.
How we do ii is whal counts
in the long run. The average hu
man being, and especially I he wo
man, is not given guy glitteiring
chances to distinguish herself hy
deeds that shine.
Just hear whal comes bravely
--and to do this you will need
self-control, the mastery of
moods, the ability to realize that
there are lots of others in I In*
world with you.
If you don't conquer your sud
den impulses and unreasonable
whims I hey will conquer y ou in
lime, and you will find that life
has grown stale and lacking in
all interest.
Lives are ruined, homes lost,
friends antagonized, all through
sudden ways of writing letters or
bringing up unpleasant matters
that could better rest.
Let events decide your moves
for you—in most matters. Few
of us are masters of destiny.

SEE.
(By Ceorge Matthew Adams.)
There are two ways of Seeing.
One with the Eyes and one with
the Mind. Helen Keller recently
staled in a public address that
there were many people more
Blind than she. She was right.
The Blind art* those who Will Not
see.
Keep your Eyes and Mind wide
Open.
Joseph Pulitzer, the late Blind
Editor of the New York World,
made his newspaper great not
until after he became Blind. Pres
cott wrote his greatest Histories
with Sightless Eyes. P. S. Hen
son, the great Preacher, with but
one Eye, has Seen more . and
learned more than most people
would with a dozen Eyes. The
Blind many times See most.
Keep your Eyes and Mind wide
Open.
* Use your Eyes. See things.
And after you See them, make
Friends out of them. No two peo
ple See Things exactly the same.
Wall saw Latent Power in the
steam that came out of his moth
er’s Tea Kettle. Franklin saw
another kind of usfulness snap
ping from I he I ail of his Kite.
The followers, of these men saw
enough from what they saw to
adapt it and force Civilization
ahead by scores of years.
Keep your Eyes and Mind wide
open.
Many of the really Big Things
in this .world have not yet been
Seen. You, at your humble task
Today, may See some of them,
or shadows of them. And if you
do, persist in Seeing. There is
always this one great way to
Learn and Grow—to resolve on
Seeing everything that can be
Seen. But your Eyes are only
half. To See with your Mind is :
the other half.
Keep your Eyes and Mind wide'
Open.
