A despatoh from Ottawa says:-
Pestmaster-General lvlulook is about to
remove the restriction. which at present
prevents the user of a postcard from
ubilizing the front; of a postcard by
having' anything written or printed on
it except the address of the person for
whom it is intended, Mr. Mulook's in-
teation is to permit pictures, viewsrde-
signs, or other advertising matter to
be printed on the face of the card, so
long as sufficient clear, space is left to
allow the address being written or
printed, so that It can be easily read
in the office where it is posted. The
face of the card may bo converted into
0. work of art without imparing Its
usefulness, tae and advertisers will no
doubt avail themselves of the pri-
vilege. The cards will be issued in
sheets it so desired for convenience in
printing. Mr. Maiock thinks that this
concession will prove a considerable
stimulant to business, and will not only
advertise the advertiser, but the coun-
try as well, and also add considerably
to the postal revenue. It will also fur-
nish work for printers and litho-
graphers, The idea is certainly
A CAPITAL ONE
and may result in much good to' the
country in the way of advertising
some 62 its natural features, as well
as its public and other buildings.
The Postmaster -General is very jubi-
lant over the phenomenal triorease in
postal revenue which is taking place
each month and which he regards as a
sure indication of the increased pros-
perity of the country. For the four
months of the fiscal year ended on the
31st of Oetc her the receipts avers $'342,-
000 more than for the corresponding
period last year, and, judging by this
and the partial returns received tor
November, the Postmaster -General es-
timates that the postal revenue for the
curreat fiscal year will be about three-
quarters of a million dollars in excess
of last year, or over 500, per cent. above
the ordinary normal increase which
has been taking plate for someyears
past. Thisis not wholly attributable
to the sale of ,jubtice stamps, the total
result from which will notgr'eatly ex-
ceed $200,000, the largest part of which
was collected in the last fiscal year,
but is almost entirely due to improve-
went in business throughout the coma -
try as indicated by increased postal
receipts at almost every city, town and
village postoffice. For the month of
October the increase as compared with
October last year was 801,000; and for
the month of November it will pro-
bably be even greater, as returns for
themonth received from Toronto,
Montreal, Ottawa, London, Hamilton
and a few other places all show large
increases. over November' last year.
In Toronto the increase is $8,754; in
Montreal, $4,572; in Ottawa, over $1,000

THE WOMAN TEMPTED HIM.

A despatch from Waterlooelie, says:
-William Kern baa made a confession
implicating his sweetheart, Delish
Fates, in the murder of Jerome Kern,

her willing dupe and accomplice. He
says he loved her. He bad no particu-
lar
articular enmity against hie father, save that

to Miss Pales. Steak wag the strength
of his fascination for that woman who
tempted him, however, that when{ she
unfolded to him the details/ of a plot
to slay both his parents„ take posses-
sion of their property, and get married
he consented to assist in theslaugbter.
A plot was laid to lure Jerome tern,
sr., into the timber and then make
envoy with him. The mead= of the
mother was to ea aocomplishedc at a
later date. On the morning of the.
murder the elder Kara was Induced to
leave the house. Deliah Fales lay in
wait for him, and after: engaging the
unsuspecting man in conversation fired
the fetal shot. According to young
Kern's confession the two thew saber-
aced the clothing of ,the deed man and
set fire to it, the object being to con-
ceal the manner in which, he died. He
alleges that the oilcan and therevoly-
er were buried by the 'Fates woman in
the woods. Kern was Horde, to confess
through the work of detectives, who
induced a young man to haunt him
in the guise of Lha, ghost of the mur-
dered father. The ghost worked on the
young man's nerves to such, an extent
that he finally weakened.

Moreno@ has fully established the
fact that all the nervous energy of our
bodies is generated by nerve centres
located near the base of the brain,
When the supply of nerve force has
been diminished either by excessive
physical or mental labours, or owing to
e derangement of the nerve centres, we
are first conscious of a languor or hired
and woru-out feeling, then of a valid
Mem of nervousness, headache, or
stomach trouble, which is perhaps suc-
ceeded by nervous prostratlon,ebronio
'ndigestion, and dyspepsia, and a gen-
eral sinking of the whole system. In
this day of hurry, fret and worry, there
are very few -who enjoy perfect health;
nearly everyone has some trouble, an
who or pain, a weakness, a nerve
trouble, something wrong with the
stomach and bowels, poor blood, heart
disease, or doll headache; all of which
are brought on by a lack of nervous
energy to enable the differenborgansof
the body to perform their respective
work.
Sontjl American Nervine Tonic, the
marvellous nerve food and health gi ver,

Yt15 Redaction in Canadian Pacific Srstgl.t
Rates.
The Canadian Pacific railway has re-
duced its freight rates from 28 cents
to 20 cents per one hundred pounds
from Port William to Moutreal, and at
other points east on its system, where
the rate heretofore has been 28 cents:
This la one of the most important re-
duebtons that have been made by the
company for some years, and its con-
sequences cannot fail to be banOEieial
and, far reaching. It will enable the
farmer to sell his wheat for shipment
to St. John instead of being obliged to
pay elevator charges for Storage
through the winter, and it will enable
the Caneslian miller to compels with
the United States miller for the Euro-
pean British', and West India trade on
more equal terms. That it will help the
pert of St, John, considerably will be
apparent, when it is considered. that
the saving in freight on one barrel of
flour alone from Fort William to St.
John will be sixteen cents,
