It is true that this postman As only employed ia remote distriets tef the country. The mail pouches aro hung on either end- of a bamboo ., pole that is carriea Cily'CD the should. - The native. runneeetef Natal is an- other striking example of the univer- sality of the great pestel system of the world, that marvel of human in- genuity which unites the inost dis- tant individuals, so that the travel- ler need rarely feet entirely separated fromhis ...home and kindred. The 'Natal runners aro interesting from their attire, their head dress of leaveseefor instance, nad their meth- ods Of work. When they perform 'stunt journeys they run at a rate of • about four Miles an hour. The sal- ary paid is $5 per month, and an al- Ilawarece is` made for rations. Tile • Clothing of the letter 'carrier of Na- tal, in its entirety, consists of a Mil- ' itary great coat and cape, Which are impplied by the Government of the colony. Beneath the overcoat is worn a garment called the mucetu arid a rawhide sandal is sometimes laced to the foot. , THE POSTMEN OF BARBADOS are allowed to wear two uniforms— 'one for the hot weather in July, 'August and September and the other for cooler months. The former is matte of unbleached cotton drill, With red facings and the ratter of blue serge. On the southern slopes of the Cau- casus, the dweller who awaits a let- ter from a friend on the plains sends Ids dog down in charge of tax -col- lector or pallor, with. instructions that the message shall be placed in a little pouch in the ring of the dog's ;collar. The intelligent quadruped is then turned loose and trots back home with the mail, One of the strangest methods of' ,caerying the mails is in vogue among ethe natives of Coromandel. It is •said that waterproof bags arc there deposited in 0 species of catamaran - (boat, which is so small that jhe postman has to sit astride At,. like' a !floating log. Sometimes these Post - Mice, are washed off into the water, !where numerous shark's form an ele- ment of consideration, but in. most cases the passage is made in safety, and the letters are received punctual - Most of the em.ployees of the post - office department Of British Guiana :arc uegroes or of negro clascent, al- thougil the staff are Europeans or of „ Iriiropean descent. ' ; The Salvador postman is also a swarthy gentleman, with' a strong dash of African blood in his veins. In the capital of Salvador there are seventeenletter carriers of this type, two of whom are exclusively employ- ed in tirc • delivery of registered let- ters for which they receive $10 a month, . There are three monthly mails to Europe, and three to the United States, all of which are car- ried by the Pacific Steamship Com- . A very primitive method of carry- ing the mails is in vogue in Corea, a small but exceedingly conservative nation. THE OX -CART Is here employed itt the postal ser- vice, and it is anything but a rapid means of transit. In China, which is also- fairly unprogressive, 'there is more of an attempt at speed. There are two methods of carrying the -mails there. The letters of the mandarins are delivered by special • couriers, frequently accompanied by • 'tnilitterynescort. • Public letters are carried by two private companies. The first company called the "local" has the, cities for its seat of opera- • tions; and the other called the gener- • ',al delivers letters to all parts of the !Empire maintaining communication with the far-off frontier towns. s Holland the extent, of the mail service routes is over 30,000 miles. The uniform of the postman is semi- • military in character, the men them- selves are , said to be a remarkably (handsome body. In Austria, the Government gives to the postmen 'every year one tunic, one pair , of cloth trousers, one pair of linen trousers, one waistcoat and a 'Cap, while every second year a coat and blouse are given. Previous military servieen is considered as postal service, and of war eaeh year counts double. ,Ire'44''' 'The Roman postman las to work eight hours a day for...about $15 a month. The uniform is not as neat as •that of most of the European mintries. r T The Turkish postal system has of late been reformed with much benefit to the people of that nation. It used to be a frequent occurrence for letters to be irrecoverably lost. The pay of the Turkish letter -carriers is 'So low as to oblige them ,to corn- •;bine with their "official capacity that ,of• mendicant, and ask publicly for • :"backsheesh." TIJE SWE'DISII POSTMAN. at least • that specimen represented itt the exhibit, is an old gentleman of relegant and commahding appearance, and the neat, black bag which he carries under his arra is lost sight of lin the majestic tont ensemble.

The summer' uniforin is a gray blouse with the same trousers, The r uniform of the postmaa 01 Norway is dark green in color, though it is said many of the rum want it changed, to blue, The ' fac- ings of the eget are of silver braid, and there is a siaall cockade of the Norwegian colors on the band round the cap. 'rile climate of Finland is uniformly severe, and the Postmen dress warm- ly. The costume is picturesque. Long boots of thick leather and a long coat, crowned by a round cap, make up the details. Many of tho postmen are linguists, since •they talk Finnish, Swedish and Russian. he TDanrsh postman wears a rather elegant uniform of dark cloth and rich braid. The service is Said to be excellent in every respect. The uni- form of the Bulgarian postman is of dark blue cloth, with gilt , buttons; and green collar, and cull's. The French postma,n also dresses in dark blue, with very natrow red facings. Consumptive People. CAN SECURE RENEWED HEALTH AND STRENGTH The Teich, Red Blood Made by Iba Williams' Pink Pills Gives New Strength to Every Nerve, Fibre and Organ of the Body. From the Budget; Shelburne, N. S. • Among the young ladies of Shel- burne, there is none to -day who more fully bears ,the impress of perfect health than Miss Lilian Durfee. •-Un- fortunately this was not always the ease, as a few years ago Miss Dur - fee became ill, and her friends feared that she , was going into decline. A doctor was called in .and . prescribed, but his medicines did not have the desired effect. • IIer strength gradu- ally left her, her appetite failed, she had frequent headaches, was very pale, and. finally grew • so weak that a walk. of a few rods would cep- pletely fatigue her. The young lady's family sorrowfully observea that she was steadily failing, and feared that consumption would claim her as a victim. One day a friend urged that • she should give Dr. Hams' Pink Pills a trial, but the idea at first was not favorably ena tertained; it seelhed hopeless to ex- pect that any medicine would help her after the doctor's treatment had However, this good friend still urged, and finally prevailed. 13y the time the third box -was used, there was an unmistakable improve- ment in Mise Durfee's condition. Cheered by this, the pills were con- tinued, and in the course of a few weeks the former invalid, whose strength was taxed by the slightest exertion, was almost restored to health. The use of the pillsAvas stilt continued and a few weeks more found Miss Dui -fee again enjoying perfect health. TO a reporter who interviewed her, she said:—"I believe that Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills saved my life, and I earnestly recommend them to all who fear that consumption has -laid its grasp upon them." That the facts related above "are not in any way exag-gerated, is born out by the, following statement from Robt. G. Irwin, Esq., the welln-. knowstipendary magistrate for the municip'elity, who says:—`1 distinct- ly remember the pale face of Miss Lilian .Durfee and the regrets of friends as they expressed their con- viction that she would soon be CODth- polled to say -farewell to earth. Miss Durfee, however, carries the unmis- takable credential's of good health, and frequently expresses her indebt- ednesa to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Pale and anaemic girls, or young people with coasumptive tendencies, will find renewed health and bodily vigor through the use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills.- " 'These Pills are an uafailing cure for all diseases due to a watery conditioneof the blood, or shattered nerves. \ Sold by. all dealers in medieine or sent postpaid on receipt of 50c a bex, or •$2.50 for' six boxes, by addressing the Dr. Willitines' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. FACTORY WOMEN 01' JAPAN'. .A Maximum Wage of 25 Cents for Eleven Hours' Work. The women of the poorer classes in Japan are engaged in wage-earning labor to a far greater extent than we imagine,• weaving being., their 'chiefoccupation. Japrinese women weave as our women sew, "for a living," and in some districts much of the weaving is done at their homes. Di other places there are regularly equipped mills, with modern machin - Cry. • In the factories over 35,000 women are employed, whose wages vary from a sum equivalent to about 25 cents a day to less than 15 cents a day. The men get from. _25 cents to 40 cents a day. ' Many more women than men are employed, in ages ranging from 12 years to 8,0, years. In some of the mills there is a system of prizes for faithful service; in others there is an ifierease of wages three or four times a year as the worker becomes more skilled. Nearly every mill has .sonae form of recognition of improved work ancl steady service, and the girls are encouraged to thrift as well s aindustry. many 'of them. a system of either voluntary or corn- pulsory saving is in force, and per cent. interest is paid on all such deposits,„ of whatever character, al- though in the case of compulsory savings they are forfeited if the girl leaves ' before the expiration of her stipulated term, whielnis USUALLY THREE YEARS. That theasyStem is beneficial May beeassumn ed from the fact that 'ofte hey have accumulated $10.0 or $150 t the end of three years. This is et strange when the cheapness of lying' is. considered. Breakfast con- ists of boiled. rico and 'pickles or can soup; for dinner. rice and vege- ables D,Do served, and for supper rice rid fish or meat. 8,oine of the Mills nd factories have 'boarding houses ttached,, at which 'board iS given to purchased from the then for about $1 Which is paid in four of five monthly installments. Everything elea re- quired,' such as shoes, umbrellas and bedelothee, is furnished by the mill, In Tokio ,the mill owners have be- gun to provide sonic Cdtication for the employes, and after work hours they are taught reading, writing and to 0 sewing. The girls are divided in , . night and a day force, each working about eleven boars. They have five or six holidays during the year and a week at the beginning of tho new Year. They also have several hours a week for rest, while the machinery is being inspected for repairs, work d2,es not seem to hurt the op- erative's, as the sick rate is extreme- ly low, says an authority. \ In one nail, for instance, whole? 1,700 girls are employed there is a daily aver- age of not more than POUR CASES OF SICKNESS. A physician is attached to each factory, and women who are sick are allowed one-half their wages. Itt caseof injury .received m t, he dis- charge of duty full wages and a con- solation gift are allowed. When a trouble is pronounced incurable the mullCiwners defray medical exPenses, which are Pabout three cents a "day, and pay the patient's expenses at her home. Most of the illness is some form of lung' trouble,. The operatives, are usually engaged through agents, • who guarantee the girl's, trustwOrthiaoss and capability. lot: this SCDViCO each girl pays the agent 20 cents on going to work ancl 2 cents a month during" her three years' term of employment. There are in Tokio mills a number of ene- ployes who have been in the seine mills over twenty years. Japanese women of the middle Class are entering professional more and more. There are now many trained nurses who have stud- ied in the hcispitals, a few physi- cians and a number of teachers of eintiroidery, sewing, music and paint- ing. The last named group of stud- ies has always 'been popular _among Japanese women, who have a taste for artistic accomplishments. SURGERY IN THE SOUDAN. How Electricity Was Developed in the Desert. Good surgeons are often raera- of great ingenuity, and there are num- erpusacascrs on record of important and wholly satisfactory results ac- complished with rude appliances. A writer who was with the British army in the Soudan gives, in a New York paper, this illustration of a clever adaptatioh of means to a de- sired end :— After the battle of Omdurman we brought back to Abadieh one hun- dred and twenty-one wounded officers and men. Of thisThumber there were twenty-one cases of which an ac- curate diagnosis could not be made by ordinary surgical means. - By the help of the Rontgen rays, however, we found the bullet or proved its absence in twenty oat of twenty-one cases, the remaining case being so ill with a severe wound in the lung that it was not considered justifiable to examine him at the time. Of course we had no steam engine to generate electricity for us, and the desert heat had dissolved our specially prepared candles into their 'constituents. , • Necessity, however, is the mother ofeinvention, and we had recourse to a unique method. The"piillcy 61 a small dynamo was connected by means of a leather strap. with the rear wheel of a tandem bicycle. Having carefully adjusted the cir- cuit with the storage battery, and also with the volt -meter and am- meter, a warrant officer took his position on the seat of the bicycle 'and commenced pedaling. When fif- teen volts and fourteen amperes were registered, the switch close to the handle of the bicycle was opened and the charging of the battery be- . As the resistance became greater o sensation as of riding up-hillawas experienced by thoman 'on the seat, and the services of an additional orderly wera requisitioned for the front seat of the' tandem. As this bicycle pilectice was gen- erally .indulged in in, a temperature of 110 degrees in the shade, the or- derlies were not sorry when, at the end of half an hour, the switch was turnecl off and the machine brought to a standstill.

A well-known 'doctor of Minneapo- lis, who has made a specialty of nervous diseases, has found a new remedy for \'`the blues." As no drugs are administered, he has felt safe hi experimenting with at least, a half hundred melanchcdy patients, and now declares himself thoroughly satisfied with the good results of his treatment„ , His prescription reads something, like this: "If you keep the corners of your mouth turned up you can't feel. blue," The directions for taking are, "Smile, keep on smiling, don't stop smiling." It sounds ri- diculous, doesn't it? Well, just try turning a up the cornerS of your mouth, regardless of your mood, and see how , it makes yon feel; then draw the corners of your mouth down and note the effect, and You will be willing to deelare "there's something in it'' 'The doctor treats his aervous pa- tients to medicine whew necessary, but when the ease is One of purely melancholy without bodily ill, he simply recommends the. sMile cure. He has the patient remaile in his of - flee and smile; if it isn't the genuine article, it must at least be an up- ward curyature of the comers of the mouth, and the better feelings follow inevitably,. The treatments are fol- 10Wed up rogelarly, a,nd the patieats all testify to their good, effect. ,Lt; takes consider/1.We persuasion to in- duce acme of them to apply the euro, and, of course, the greater number of patients are women, for when a man is "blue he is 'bound to be blue in spite of everything, but a woman is more easily persuaded to try to find a cure.
