A curious feature of the United States
postal laws has to do with the mulling of
mugiuiiies. A periodical destined for a placo
a thousand mill's away is sent to tho sub

who lives around tho corner fropi tho publi
cation olllco, gets his magazine with a xo
cent stamp on tho wrupper. In otlier words,
it costs four times as much to send a copy of
tho issue ten rods as It does to send it ten
