This 1s the verse that describes the sending ot the messengers: “And he wrote in the King Ahasue- rus’ name, and sealed it with the King’s ring; and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels and young drgmedaries.” “The Romans, too, sent their let- ters by mounted couriers, The cot ier carried the message about twen ty miles when he would come to 2 ‘posta’ where another messenger was stationed with a fresh horse. He, in turn, would be relieved by still an- ‘ther courier. Thus relay after fe- ay the letter was sped on until at ast it arrived at its destined ‘posta, meaning station or stopping place, an& from that word we obtain the word ‘post’ as found in post office, osteard and many similar words. “In the times of Benjamin Frank- in, each letter was charged for by he= sheet instead of by weight, and so for the distance it was carried. Tef¥ cents was charged for one sheet, 20 cents for two sheets; and so on, and: for every fifty miles anothe full fee was added. Envelopes were | not used in those days, the letter simply being folded up and sealed. “And now we come to the stagger- ing figures showing the growth of this: great business. In every single hour of the 24 there are mailed 1,- 400,000 letters and in every day of. the865 of the year, 33,600,000 letters slip'into the box. To carry this great volume of letters, there was sold fourteen billion postage stamps, 57 million special delivery stamps, 38 million newspaper wrappers, 62 -mil- lion, postage due stamps used, on shogt paid mail matter and a billion postal cards printed and sold, and, all counted, we used and sold 18 bil- liom units during the last fiscal year. And, again, to carry this vast quan- titysof mail we operate a very large motor truck service, having in oper- ation today 4,433 motor vehicles, and then in the carrying of this volume of mail by railroad it'requires 21,000 railWay mail clerks who cover 215,- 000miles daily.” “Senate Calendar : \ New Senate Bills.
