By his action the postal sys- tem is able to destr of state laws and offers rough which the violation is to be encouraged. It ing of the means and ment of the violation of the law which places the order of the head of the department in a peculiar light.

TUsing the mail to carry on a profitable enterprise which would not be able to exist otherwise, or could not live through the p of much methods if dependence was | placed upon local patronage is vig- orously opposed by the government. It therefore difcuit to understand how such a ruling could be made which operates against state conditions which have been found undesirable and to | which a stop should bs put.

We cannot be thankful as we shoulder arms, for it is the action of ates this divine | the beart emotion. which re Plato says “thinking fs_the talking of the soul with itself.” Whether we | agree with him or not in this defini- | tion we are aware that the challenges | of the mind to the soul are usually | the most effective. We are all more or less guilty of not asking ourselves serious questions enough, and of net ourselves as we would a sincere friend seeking our opinion, when we do indulge.in introspective inquiry. No one can ennoble himself more than by honoring his honest fetions; vet, how we let all kinds sordid infuences suppress the spirit. On things of impartance we are all more or less cowardly at heart, and more or less alarmed lest some one else should find it out, than we be of the consequences of it upon ourselves and We sly when it apswering of our progeny are would be better if we were wise.

The teacher unwittingly re- marked that in a book of that size sueh unimportant details were per- force omitted. “Unimportant!” growl- ed her visitor. “Why I was in that engagement, and 1 feel the success of much that followed was owing to the bravery of our men on that occasion.” Being a woman of tact and quick to see her point of vantage, the teacher turned to the class and sald: “We are fortunate in having with us today one who took part in this cam- paign and 1 am sure we shall all be glad to hear him tell us of his per- sonal experiences at that time” The recitation was stopped and the time taken up by the hero from the battlefield much to the delight of the children. What boy or girl would not prefer hearing an old soldler tell of the war Instead of repeating what the book gave them to learn. Also the teacher had the satisfaction of knowing that peace was restored in her visiter's mind as well as in her | own, for he was kuown later on to remark that the instructor in history in that room was well placed.
