For every periodical publication weighing not more than 3 oz. in weight .................................. 1 cent.

Over 3oz. in weight .................................. 4 cents. 4 cents.

[Sidenote: Pre-pay'mt]

The above rates must invariably be pre-paid by postage stamps.

[Sidenote: Sent from publication office.]

If pre-paid by postage stamps and sent from the office of publication, periodicals published in Canada weighing over 3 oz. pa.s.s for two cents each.

[Sidenote: From United States.]

Periodical publications received from the United States are liable to the rates above mentioned, viz.: If not exceeding 3 oz. 1 cent; if exceeding 3 oz. 4 cents.

[Sidenote: If posted by booksellers or news agents.]

Canadian Booksellers and News Agents may post British, American or Provincial periodicals for distribution to regular subscribers unpaid.

If sent unpaid they will, when exceeding the weight of 3 oz., be subject to 4 cents.

[Sidenote: Small periodicals posted by booksellers and news agents.]

Canadian Booksellers and News Agents may also post for transmission by mail in Canada small periodicals, whether Canadian, British or United States, weighing less than 1 oz., such as the Children's Paper, Child's Paper, The Play Hour, The Carrier Dove, The Sabbath School Visitor, The Evangelizer, The Gospel Message, The Good News, and others of a like description, in packages to one address, at the rate of 5 cents per pound, or fraction of a pound bulk weight, provided that the said News Agents and Booksellers pre-pay such packages by postage stamps. This must not be understood as imposing a charge on Canadian periodicals ent.i.tled to pa.s.s free.

[Sidenote: Periodicals exempt from postage.]

Periodicals printed in Canada other than newspapers when specially devoted to education, meaning the instruction of youth, (both religious and general), to agriculture, to temperance, or to any branch of science, and addressed directly from the office of publication to be transmitted to any post-office in Canada, are conveyed by mail free of charge. Such periodicals must not contain general news or advertis.e.m.e.nts or they forfeit their claim to exemption.

A periodical devoted to education to pa.s.s free must be either strictly scholastic in its subject matter, or manifestly adapted and intended for juvenile as distinguished from adult instruction. It is in this primary sense that the word Education, whether religious or secular, is understood to be used. Religious publications are not as a cla.s.s ent.i.tled to exemption from charge. The law exempts only those which come within the foregoing definitions.

[Sidenote: U.S. periodicals not exempt.]

No United States periodical of any kind or description can, upon any ground, claim exemption from Canadian postage.

[Sidenote: Returned periodicals.]

Parcels of unbound periodicals may be returned by a subscriber to the office of publication at the rate of two cents per 8 oz. or fraction of 8 oz.

[Sidenote: Conditions]

Periodicals to pa.s.s at the above rates must be put up in covers open at the ends or sides, and if these regulations are not strictly complied with, or if such periodicals are found to contain any writing other than the address, they are liable to full letter rates of postage.

[Sidenote: Not to exceed 48 oz.]

No packet of periodicals can be forwarded through the post if exceeding the weight of 48 oz.

[Sidenote: Bound periodicals.]

Bound volumes of any periodical published in Canada may be forwarded at the rates and under the conditions described under the article Book Post.
