Through order No. 5945 just received by Postmaster Willlam Caruthers from he postoffice department at Washing- ton, D. C., a complete change in the stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers is to go into effect' on and after Jan. 1st, 1912, the chief feature of which is that the new pricelist rakes two rates for the envelopes, ac- cording as they are plain or have the return recuest printed in the upper left-hand corner. Formerly the en- velopes have been the same price at the thousand rate, whether they were plain or of the “Request” variety. The new rate sheet gives guotations for every size, but as an example of the changes, the grices on No. 3, No. 5 end No. 17 stamped envelopes, which are the sizes wost nused, are quoted Fere. For No. 3 the old price per thou- sand was $21.24; new price $21.20 re- st $20.06 plain. No. 5, old pmce $21.24; new price $21.24 request, $21 plain. No. 13, old price $21.44; new price $21.36 request, $21.08 plain. As before, colors make no difference, and ‘he envelopes wili be made in the usual varieties.

There were Walter W. lang, A. S. Comstock and A. A. Beck® with of the board, Supt. J. J. Corkery and Engineer 8. B. Palmer. The members of the board looked over the J, Raymond Palmer property, a jortion of which will be flowed when the pond Is full, for the purpose of determining what will bave to be done to remove ul possible contamina- tion when the time comes to take the ‘water, It was found that a closet will have to be moved some distance north and properly enclosed and the barn yard will bave to be given up and guite” a little will be removed from the surface at that point. This, It is believed, will take ofi all contamina- tlon which might affect the water, and that work w:il be done jn time so that when the water is turned into the main there will ha no trouble therefrom. Mr. Palmer has given permission for this work to be done and it is no: expected it will require much time. Five Million Gallons. It was found by the weir which En- gineer Palmor had placed on the brook that there were 5,000,000 allons of wi- ter going down the brook every twen- ty-four hours, on Wednesday. This i3 all carried off from the basin by the waste pipe which takes it down the patural course of the brqok below the dam. The basin is not flooded, though there is some water in front cf the big dam, untractor Petrossi has about 110 men at work on the job, many of whom are placing the last of the paving o the dam with others at,work on the smailer dam and filling the bottum of the basin. The muck has been neorly all removed from the basin and the filling has extended to a point beyond the center for some distance. This jart of the work will be continued as long as the weather will permit. Building New Brockway. On the spillway dam the corswall is but a trifle above the level of the ground, thcuxh there was quite an excavation there getting to a sol foundation. long and 16 feet high, it will take but a shert time to put it in, with favora- ble weather, but frost is a big handi- cap, as the concrete has to be protec ed against it, Forms are up for an- L..lu,o.-&.hh-'mflb-dduunmmof Brook Daily—Pumps Still Working. e S L As that is but 300 feet | other section of the dam.

This paved way leads from the point where the spillway will be located for @ distance:of 200 o 300 feer southeast, meking a new course for the brook, which Wil again join the old brock and resume its former course thereon. Small Dam Not Needed for Time. It will be possible, however to flood the basin to a depth of ten to fifteen feet before the spillway dam would G& needed to retain the water, so {(hat there would te quite a body of water in the reservoir before the smaller dam is required, which relieves the neces- sity of its being finished for some time, for no aitempt will be made to flood the basin to a greater depth until the suit over the land is deter- wined.

In his lectire the speaker introduced his audience to an India distinct from the Inlia of the globe trotter or popu- lar fancy, Kipling's India, introducing especially the roadside types such as the beggars, boly men and the starving millions that can be seen in that land of strange contradictions. On the one hand, ‘as an instance, he spoke of the Mrs. the |-regard held for life by the people of India, extending even to insects, and yet it was the land where murder hud teen made a fine art and where the sttee, or burning of widows on their husband's funeral pile, had orlginated. The India of Kipling's Kim was in- timately shown, going into the detwils of ordinary life, and passing from that to the Indla of the Engish. Here he had a good word to speak for the Eng- ish in India and suggested that the criticise with Ltor grace when they could show what they would do after 50 years in the Philip- pines.

He closed with Kipling's Song of the Dead, a poem which the Jecturer used as a concention of missionary work, making the uppeal that those who are living are to carry forward the work that has oeen done, that those who have died may not have died in vain There was appreciative appl the lecture he concluded his @ mirabl travel e The young lad of the society served as ushers for evenin, CONGRESSMEN UNABLE TO COLLECT MILEAGE.
