"Dei p en.-usrh to hold a rolling-pin," was the insistent demand of women living along a rural free-mail route in Illinois when the selection of mail boxes was recently considered. And in the deep, narrow receptacles cling ing to gate or tree in front .of the houses in the Chicago suburb is evi denced the poteircy of woman's voice. The selection of the regulation thai low boxes was vetoed by the women, who united in the demand th-it the new boxes be deep an 1 laree enough to hold The Lidis' Home Jouri al without further folding, and that they be proof against rain or snow. The women of other rural communities en joying the free-mail delivery boon have gained similar victories, bring ing to a magazine the unique distinc tion of unconsciously fixing the 6uape of the mail receptacles that are to be used in the suburban sections.

For several years past the day has not been observed, so that tho festivities of last evening were joy fully welcomed and attended by nearly all of the Masonic fraternity, accom panied by their families. The guests assembled early and spent an hour or two in tho parlors of the hotel renewing old acquaintance and ei joj-ing a delightful period of so cial intercourse. Vet-ran Masons, whoso heads had grown gray since they took their "first degree," and young men who has just been initiated into tho solemn rites of Ma sonry, participated in the pleasures of this reunion.

To be Knight of the Thistle is a big honor, of course," remarked an old quartermaster sergeant, amidst a. dis cussion among some military men at Chatham, says Pearson's Weekly; "but I can claim a distinction lots in front of that, or of kissing hands with the queen, as they say of the custom observed by cabinet ministers when taking over the seals of office." "You're chucking it, mon," observed a stalwart sergeant frae the far north. "Well," the veteran non-com. went on to explain, "the good fortune which be fel me was to be kissed by the queen," an intimation which caused the little party to gather round yet closer. "You're having us, Jock," observed a credulous corporal, "and if you want the hatchet .say so, for the present holder is fair outclassed." "No," the distinguished soldier, as he claimed to be, contended, "it is you that's out of it, as you ,ill see. You may have heard of my being the youngest bugler that took part in the Crimea, and suchl fact secured for me a place among the survivors who were inspected by the queen after peace was proclaimed." "When the v,-::nd.?d went by, some in chairs" "Quite so. Well, I was than a little flaxen-haired, red-cheeked youngster, very email for my age, and I suppose contrasted a good deal with the worn veterans. When my turn came to pass her majesty asked how Old I was, and on replying a little over thirteen, at the same time giving quite the best saaite possible, the queen said: 'Dear little fellow,' and then gave me a kiss on the cheek. So you see how I came to receive a gracious dis tinction which frcm generals down ward no other soldier has ever been able to lay claim to. That honor's mine alone." Oainlngr a Wide Reputation.
