PARCEL POST FOUND WANTING. 



A deticieiicy in the present parcel 

 post system, wlii' li i^ .juite a serioii- 

 mie to tlorists in some jdaces. has heeii 

 pointed out hy John Teiihro(d<. of (ileii- 

 vvood Sprin;;s, Colo. The present leuu 

 iations do not allow the mailinu of 

 paekatres at depots, or on trains. Tin- 

 often jiroves a hardship to those who 

 are a lontj <listaiice from the postollice 

 l>iit near to a railway station. "It is 

 t'Xtreiilely inconvenient." sa\s Mi. 

 Tenhrook, "for many |>eo|de to yo to 

 the postofliee with peiisliahle cut tlow
