Thlrty-olue were children and there were 10 grownup wotuen, one of whom was unmarried. As there were 25 bachelors on board the Mayflower, that lone maiden probably was never a wallflower. The three most famous characters; Bradford, Allen and Miles Standlsh. were all young fellows, 'aged respec tively thirty-one, twenty-one and thir ty-six. One of the most fatal epidemics on record smote that little colony and In four months 44 of the 102 pilgrims were dead. It was a disease akin to tuberculosis. TIMBER SUPPLY RUNNING LOW Government Planning Measures to Pro tect Supply on H^nd and Encour age Future Growth. ? A larger program of public acquisi tion of forests by tho federal govern ment, states and municipalities, and protection and perpetuation of forest growths on all privately owned lands which may not be used better for agri culture, is recommended In the annual report of tho forester of the depart ment of agriculture. This policy Is made uecessairy, the report said, by the diminishing tim ber supply. The rate of depletion of the forests Is more than twice what Is being produced by growth In a form serviceable for purposes other than firewood. v "Already the supplies of all the great Eastern centers of production arc approaching exhaustion, with the exception of the South," the report said, "and even there most of the mills have not over ten to fifteen lyears' supply of virgin timber. "The Soul hem pine Is being with drawn from innny points as a compet itive factor and its place taken by Western timbers. This Inevitably re sults In added freight charges, which the consumer must pay." The report suggested that the fed eral government work primarily through state agencies. New Process for Drying Beets. By the recently devised new process In sugar making, it Is claimed that nearly 70 per cent of the water of beet roots can bo extracted on. the spot where they are grown. Thus dried, the material keeps Indefinite ly; It can be transported to places where fuel Is plentiful-, even over long distances; and It can be accumulated In stocks sufficient to keep factories running continuously, fnstead of re quiring to be used up itr ft short sea son. ' The same process Is suggested for treating fruits and vegetables de signed for Industrial-alcohol distiller ies. 8hoe Mending at Home. The calllng-up of the village boot maker or "cobbler" has seriously af fected domestic convenience In many rural districts. His Importance Is suddenly recog nized, and hi? loss has, In several Iso lated midland hamlets, given a re markable stimnlus to shoe-mending at home. Technical classes In soling, heeling and patching have been arranged, and country women are rapidly acquiring the art of cobbling. Lady Petre de clares that it should be as natural to do this nt home as to darn stockings. ?London Chronicle. Making Play Pay.

Sometimes. it would -seem,\ the re.ally in|>o:tniit things which hrve come to he regarded as commonplace, as one's right, as it were are accepted almost as a mat ter of omrse. and are altogether too lit 11V appreciated. For instance, tlie busi ness man. the professional man, the home dweller, the resident hotel guest, in faet every one. has quite ntfturally learned to look upon the regular visit **f the let ter carrier as a mere incident, a part, mo to speak, of the working machinery, op erating automatically, perhaps, but eer tainly without apparent friction or in terruption. In some of the larger cities of t.he United States, in the business dis tricts, these visits <?oine hourly. In other sections of the cities there are usually three or four deliveries of mail each weekday, while in the country since 'the establishment of rural- maii ?routes, the daily visit of the carrier makes possible the prompt receipt of mail, instead of it being possibly a week old bcf<<ik? it finds its way from the vil lage postofficc to the home. This pro gram is a continuous one, in "which the individual benefi<*inrv ordinarily evinces little more than passing interest. Ilut there <Y>mo seasons- of the year, like the present one, when the carrier's sign si fnll? upon alert ears. In the win ter holiday time, when greetings are he ins exchanged and messages of friend ship art- being sent half way round the earth, the postman is recognized as at Joust' a friendly intermediary. He Is, indeed, tho friend, tJio lavish friend of aii.

Aside from tho advances and improve* monts made in the actfaal /transportation of mail, fix Mil the earliest days of its transmission down to the present ?ear, with letters seeding through the air at tho rate of 100 miles or more an hour, the.mr?::ner of delivery and collection'has not' greatly changed. The mau on foot does the, actual work in detail. The automobile and the bicycle, as well as tho trolley car and the pemunatie. tube, have, to be sure, expedited distri* bution to postal stations and sub-stations, but tho door-to-door link between senders and recipients of mail is still formed by tho unostentatious, capable and depend able carrier, who appears to know no difference l>etween storm and sunshine, or 1 t ' 1.. l>otwoen tho heat of summer and the chill aud snows of winter. His calling and election seems sure, possibly because he has made his service indi sponsible. The b'ttrr carrier is apparently no more like ly to bo displaced by modem inventions than is the horse to be displaced by the automobile and the farm tractor.
