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

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 ;

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."

FOR FROST BITES and CHAPPED
SKIX.
For frost bitten -ears, finger and
:oes; chapped hands and lips, chilblains,
cold sores, red and rough
skins, there is nothing to equal Bucklen's
Arnica Salve. Stops the pain
it once and heals quickly. In every

A. boy and cat proof fence has been
constructed around a wooden ravine
and here the researches are being
conducted. 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.
