The idea was eagerly seiast ed upon and executed in such a way ld as materially to assist the rurol carn rier on this route. Upon a tree stump, cut down to an ld appropriate height, an old wagon wheel was set. a big dowell being left le In the center of the stump for an lslaxle for the wheel. .Mail boxes were al nailed upon the rim* and spokes. The rural carrier doeB not have to get out n- of his rig. Ho drives up, turns the re wheel on Its pivot, reaching ejich of 1 8- the fourteen boxes ln~t?rn.

London. March 14.?"When is a man drunk?" asks Dr. Norman Porritt, in the British Journal of Inebriety. He quotes several definition* recently given In the courts. "He was not drunk, neither was ho sober; he was Just "market" fresh." "Neither drunk nor sober, hut lukewarm.' " "1 might have been drunk if 1 had had five more pints, 1 only had six that morning." "I was pretty middling. I had had seventeen beers, but I knew what I was doing." "I was sober enough to know the.: 1 was drunk." Dr. Porritt contends that the popular view of what constitutes drunk-"1 snnesa needs adjustment, and if the dictum that a man is not drunk until hs:iseitber irrational or helpless is upheld, a large number of tripplers can hold responsible positions and go on their way rejoicing. _ ?, ^ Mr. and Mrs!
