>EW.PAK(EL POST KATES. j Mich Heavier Packages Are Allowed in the flails.?Service Mucli Broadened. The government's principal New Year gift to the nation was the increase in the limit .of parcel post weights, from 20 to 50 pounds in the ] first two zones and from 11 to 20 pounds in the ot.ier zones. Postmaster General Burleson's order making ^ v _ _ i_ 3 T\ 1 O 1 mese increases issuea i^eceniuer o, went into effect January 1, and there are now very few articles which cannot be sent by mail within at least the first two zones. Under the new arrangement a 50-pound package can be sent 150 miles by mail for 54 cents, or slightly more than a cent a pound, and a package of this size can be sent 1 for local delivery for only 30 cents.

Home .llercbants Benefit. The new rates are believed materi- : ally to have done away with the objections merchants in small cities raised against the parcel post in the beginning, that^t would give the mail order houses in New York and Chica go an unfair advantage. j Service Greatly Broadened. A comparison of this new table of rates with v.:a.t which went into effect on January 1,1913, shows how the service has been broadened in one year, to say nothing of the new privileges regarding methods of packing and kinds of articles that may be sent which have been granted during the year. Wi.ien the parcel post went into ef- ; lect a year ago it cost 46 cents to send . a parcel weighing 11 pounds to a place 1 150 miles distant. Now it costs 15 . cents. Besides at that time, eleven ; pounds was the limit. Now it is 50 ; pounds. j' Practically all the changes in rates ; Viaon i-n fci\-r?r r\f thp shrvrt dis na? ^ i/v^v/u iu i.? * V-N/ ? - tance parcels. Thus, .while the second i zone rate for an 11-pound parcel is ; now less than one-third Wjat it used to be, the fifth zone rate on the same parcel is only a small percentage less, or 68 cents as against 79 cents. The second zone rates have been more . radically reduced than those of any other zone. Another extension of the parcel post service will so into effect on March 16, Wiien books will be admitted as parcel post. The Mnllingers and the Habsburg. London Chronicle. The Mullingers are one of these old Swiss families concerning whom their friend, Dr. Curti, the distinguished Swiss national historian and director of the Frankfurter Zeitung, recently told me the following amusing incident. writes a correspondent. Years ago a Mullinger was one of j the stnff of the Swiss legation at Vienna. On being presented to the Emperor Francis Joseph he bluntly expressed his pleasure at making the acquaintance of his majesty, which pleasure, he added, was all the greater since <:in times gone by the Habs-, fcurgs were mere retainers of the' Mullingers." "In that case," the emperor is said ! to have replied, "I think you will admit that my family has got on better in the world (hat es weitergebracht) J than yours." "VVliite-Kerr.

The hope is to learn the best methods to attract birds through means of different sorts of food, bathing pools, nesting places, trees and shr.i^ and s.n-ilar means. The refuge is employed also as a means of interesting children in birds. The experiments have been carried on for two years and the population of birds in the refuge increased five per cent, the first year and twelve per cent the second year. Among the reasons for desiring to have more birds in the city are that they help to combat tree pest and they have a beneficial influence on the growing child whose attention has been called to them. The federal governmnt has set aside more than 60 reserves, so the idea is new only in its application to cities. The refuge in Cincinnati is being carried on by private effort, but if it should prove succesful, it is possible that cities officially will take the work. >"or Mounting a High Horse. The Pelican.
