It la interesting to not in this connection that this batch of cata logue are th first in some, time which do not include th offer ot th company to pay postage on th articles ar-ticles bought from them. Evidently that experiment was not a howling success for it was merely another ruse of those firm to attract th unwary un-wary buyer and th postage money was, of course, added to the original cost as a comparison of price in th two catalogue will prove. - Following 1 th exact copy of the order Issued by the postmaster general gene-ral regarding .the payment of demur-'rlg'M' demur-'rlg'M' t?. ti. parcels after "ihey have lain in the post office tor 15 days: "Under such regulations as the post master general may prescribe any collect-on-dellvery parcel which, the addressee fails to remove from the post office within fifteen days from the first attempt to deliver or the first notice of arrival at the office of address ad-dress may be returned to the sender, charged with the return postage, whether or not such parcel bears any specified time, limit for delivery; and a demurrage charge of not exceeding five cents per day may be collected when delivery has not been made to either the addressee or the sender until after the expiration of the pre scribed period.
