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

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
