The Particular Man
THE MAN THAT KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS AND KNOWS A GOOD WHEEL WHEN HE SEES IT, RIDES THE
KEATING. (SEE THAT CURVE.)
Keating quality begets confidence the moment the wheel- man feels the Keating "life"-the moment he notices the lack of friction in the roller chain and the consequent easy KEATING glide. Then he becomes the "particular" man, the man who will ride nothing but a KEATING- ''365 days ahead of them all."

POSTAL LAWS OF 1897.
RULINGS AND INFORMATION UPON POSTAL SUBJECTS. CLASSIFICATION OF MAIL MATTER.
Classification of Domestic Mail Matter .- Domestic mail matter, -that is, mail matter sent in the mails from some postoffice within the United States to some other postoffice within the same,-is divided into four classes, as follows:
First-Class. - Written matter, namely, letters, postal cards, and all matter wholly or partly in writing, whether sealed, or unsealed, ( except manuscript copy accompanying proof-sheets or corrected proof-sheets of the same). All matter sealed or otherwise closed against inspection is also of the first-class.
The following Articles are Among Those Subject to First-Class Rates of Postage :- Autograph albums containing writing; bank books with written entries; bank checks filled out in writing. whether cancelled or not, written visiting cards ; "old letters," whether sent singly or in bulk ; stenographic or shorthand notes; diplomas, marriage, insurance, or other certificates, filled out in writing ; manuscript copy, when not accompanied with printed proof-sheets ; type-written matter, and manifold copies of the same; drawings and plans, containing written words, letters, or figures indicating size, price, dimensions, etc .; envelopes bearing written ad- dresses ; re-mailed postal cards wholly or partly in writing ; printed assessment notices with amount due written or stamped in ; printed price-lists, containing written figures ; printed receipts with written signature ; printed blank forms, filled out in writing ; printed cards, bearing a written date, where the date is not the date of the card, but gives information as to when the sender will call, or will deliver something mentioned in the printed part of the card, or is the date upon which something is acknowledged to have been received; indented or perforated sheets of paper, containing characters which can be read by the blind, when they contain actual, personal, cor- respondence.
Second-Class .- Periodical publications, namely, all newspapers, and other periodical publications which are issued at stated inter- vals, and as frequently as four times a year, which bear a date of issue, and are numbered consecutively, are issued from a known office of publication, are formed of printed paper sheets, without board, cloth. leather or other substantial binding. To be entitled to entry in this class, such publications must be originated and pub- lished for the dissemination of information of a public character, or devoted to literature, the sciences, art. or some special industry, and must have a legitimate list of subscribers, and must not be
114
JAMES T. LARKIN'S
designed primarily for advertising purposes, or for free circulation at nominal rates.
Third-Class .- Books, circulars, pamphlets and other matter wholly in print (not included in second-class matter). proof-sheets, cor- rected proof-sheets, and manuscript copy accompanying the same.
"Printed matter" is defined by statute to be "the reproduction upon paper, by any process, except that of handwriting. of any words, letters, characters figures, or images, or any combination thereof, not having the character of an actual and personal cor- respondence."
A "circular" is defined by statute to be "a printed letter, which, according to internal evidence. is being sent in identical terms to several persons," and does not lose its character as such by writing therin the date, name of addressee or of the sender, or the cor- rection of mere typograpical errors.
The Following articles, when Printed upon Paper, and Containing no writing. are Third-class Matter :- Almanacs, printed legal and insurance banks. blue prints, printed books ; canvassing and prospectus books with printed sample chapters ; blank check books and receipt books ; printed cards, circulars. catalogues, and asses- ment notices wholly in print; Christmas and Easter cards ; school copy hooks with printed lines and instructions for use ; matter re- produ ed by the cyclostyle, hectograph, mimeagraph, electric pen, or other similar process easy of recognition ; engravings and wood cuts ; printed labels ; lithographs, printed maps (on paper), music books, and sheets of music. printed blank notes. photograps, printed plans and architectural designs, postage stamps, cancelled or nncancelled, postal cards. bearing printed advertisements, mailed singly or in bulk, price-lists wholly in print, printed proof-sheets, with or without manuscript. printed tags, printed calendars, U. S. Treasury notes, printed valentines, press clipping, with name and date of paper stamped or written in. indented or perforated sheets of paper. containing characters which can be read by the blind, when not in the nature of personal correspondence.
Seeds, bulbs, roots, scions and plants are, by the Act of July 24, 1888. also mailable at the third-class rate of postage. Under this head are included samples of wheat or othes grain in its natural condition ; seeding potatoes. beans, peas, chestnuts and acorns. NOT HOWEVER; samples of flour, rolled oats, pearled barley, or other cereals which can only be used as articles of food, or cut flowers, dried plants, and botanical specimens ; or foreign nuts and seeds (such as the coffee bean ) used exclusively as articles of food, all of which are subject to postage at the fourth-class rate.
Fourth-Class. - Merchandise, namely all matter not embraced in the first, second or third-class which is not in its form or nature liable to destroy, deface or otherwise damage the contents of the mail bag, or harm the person of nny one er gaged in the postal ser- vice, and not above the weight provided by law.
115
NORTH ADAMS DIRECTORY.
Under the Head of Fourth-class Matter are included the Following Articles :- Artificials flowers, photograph albums, blank autograph albums, blank books with printed headings, bill-heads and letter- heads, blank books, blotters, printed or unprinted, coin, blank cards, printed playing cards, Christmas and Easter cards, printed on other material than paper, samples of cloth, cut flowers, dried plants, botanical and geological specimens, blank diaries. en- velopes, printed or unprinted, samples of flour, or other manufac- tured grain for food purposes, blank address tags or labels, dis- sected maps and pictures, proprietary medicines in original pack- ages, metals, minerals paper bags or wrapping paper, printed or unprinted, crayon pictures, oil or water-color paintings, pen or pen- cil plans for drawings, if they contain no written words. letters, or figures giving size, dimension, distance, price, &c.,. blank postal cards in bulk packages, printed dress charts, and printed patterns, stationery, samples of merchandise, wooden rulers, containing printed advertisements, wall paper, queen bees, when properly packed, dried fruit, framed engravings, drawings or paintings, map printed upon cloth, calendars or other matter printed upon celluloid, paper napkins, photographs retouched with India ink or water colors, tin types, dauguerrotypes, electrotype plates, and. in general, all articles not included in the other three classes of mail matter.
Limit of Weight of Mail Matter .- No package weighing more than four pounds shall be received for conveyance by mail except single books weighing in excess of that amount, and except books and documents published or circulated by order of Congress, or official matter emanating from any of the Departments of the Gov- erment or from the Smithsonian Institution.
Second-class matter is not subject to the four-pound limitation. The above limit of weight does not apply to matter in foreign mails regulated by postal convention.
Don't mail your letter or valuable package without having your own address written or printed upon the upper left-hand corner.
This will insure its return to you if not delivered, and will prevent its being sent to and opened at the Dead Letter office.
TO THE PUBLIC : HOW TO SEND MONEY WITHOUT DANGER OF LOSS .- If you wish to send money to a distance in payment of taxes or other debts, for a newspaper subscription, for merchandise, or for any other purpose. Do not put in a letter, buy a postal money. order; absolute safety guaranteed by the United States Govern- ment.
If a return receipt for registered matter addressed to a foreign country be desired by the sender, a demand of the same must be written across the face of the envelope of the registered article. Postmasters should so inform all persons who send registerd matter to foreign countries.

A postal money order is perfectly safe. In case of its loss, the owner can procure a duplicate by making application to the issuing or the paying Postmaster.
Postmaster-General Wilsonannounced in the following amendment to the postoffice law, designating legal holidays January 1, Feb- ruary 22, May 30, July 4, the first Monday in September, known as Labor day, and December 25, and such other days as the President of the United States or the Governors of their respective States may designate as Fast or Thanksgiving day, or proclaim specially as hoidays. On other occasions their offices can be closed only after permission obtained therefor from the department. Upon holidays postoffices must be opened sufficiently to meet fairly the public convenience. Mails must be made up and dispatched as on other days. When a legal holiday falls upon Sunday the follow- ing Monday may be observed, unless otherwise specially provided by State authority.
INSTRUCTIONS AS TO REGISTRATION, ETC .- All valuable matter to be sent by mail should be registered. It will thus receive protection which it is not always possible to give it if sent in the ordinary mails.
Every postmaster is obliged to register mail matter that is prop- erly prepared and offered at the postoffice for registration.
The cost of registering mail matter is eight cents for registry fee, in addition to postage. both of which must invariably be fully pre- paird by stamps affixed to the matter.
Postmasters are forbidden to address mail matter for the patrons of their postoffices, to enclose it in the envelope, seal it, or affix the stamps.
Articles of correspondence addressed under initial, or which bear an address written in pencil, or any matter that is unmailable in the domestic mails, cannot be sent by registered mail to foreign conn- tries, and will not be received for registration. Nor can any article excluded from the domestic mails be admitted in the registered mails for foreign countries.
Letters for Canada should bear the names of the county and province, and those for Mexico the name of the Mexican State, where the office of delivery is located.
