Most of us hare noticed with interest the railway postoffice car, brilliantly lighted, and caught a glimpse of its busy occupa' nts surrounded by hap and pigeon holes and piles of mail matter. The postoffice car now plays a most im- portant part in the quick and certain transit of letters. Its organization has been brought to a wonderful perfection, so as to cover without hitch or delay a network of connecting routes. Suppose we follow the route of a letter forwarded by the railway mail service from the New York postoffice to its destination. Take a letter addressed, "Mr. Harold Jones, Rolphs, Maryland." At the New York postoffice this letter is thrown into one of the pouches for the New York and Washington railway postoffice, a train of postal cars. The Tull postal car, which is from 40 to 60 feet long, and given up entirely to the 'postal service, is used only on important routes. It is fitted up with large cases of pigeon -holes, sOrtation-tables, and pouch racks, in which hang pouches open and ready to receive mail matter. In the compartment postal car only a portion Of the car is thus fitted up, the balance being for baggage or express, or the car may be a combination postal and smoker. The clerk opens the pouch and dumps the bundles of mail matter on the table. He cuts the cord of the first package that comes to hand and begins distributing the letters according to routes in the pigeon holes. finally making separate packages, of the letters intended for Various routes and throwing each into its proper pouch. Rolphs, the town in which Mr. Harold JOnes resides, is considerably off the main route. The pouch with the package containing the letter is trans- ferred at Philadelphia to the Philadel- phia and Crisfield Railway Postoffice, a compartment car which leaves Phila- delphia at 8 a.m. Here the letters are again sorted, and that for Mr. Jones is pigeon -holed and tied up with others for the Townsend and Centreville Railway ,Postoffice, which leaves the Philadelphia and Crisfield car at Townsend at 10 a.m. Here it gets into a pouch for Price's Station, whence it is conveyed by stage to Rolphs. a small place on the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay where they shoot ducks. Besides the letters for Rolphs, which came through from New York. all those received en route reach this little place at the same time that Mr. Harold Jones receives his. The most striking feature of the ser- vice, and one which is always watched with the greatest interest, is the capture of a mail -pouch by a train dashing along at full speed.

NEW ARRIVALS OF Spring - Goods —AT THE— Post Office Store •Nr_A_PaNT.-Lins._ Whisky as Medicine. Much has been claimed for whisky as a valuable agent to ward off disease in many forms. Asked recently by a representative of the New York World as to ita value as a preventive of the prevailing grip, Dr. George F. Shrady, an eminent medical au- thority of that city, is reported as saying : "Whisky is never good to ward off any- thing. Good food is the best means with which to ward off disease. To dose with whisky is like adding shavings to the fire. There is no physical, mental or moral ex- cuse for a man's drinking whisky as a pre- ventive of disease." Dr. Shrady'e em- phatic and timely testimony should be in- fluential in helping to dispel the popular but mischievous whisky delusion. Cure for Diphtheria. , A lady writes to an exchange as follows: " I send you for the benefit of many moth- ers, a valuable recipe for diphtheria. It has cured my five children, and I am pre- pared to say that no stage of the disease can stand before it, I keep it in the house all the time, and whenever the children have any symptoms of sore throat, I at once use some of this preparation : Five cents' worth of tannic said, two cents worth of sulphur, two cents' worth of burnt alum. What will cover a five cent piece is a dose for a child and about twice that quantity tor an adult. Blow down the throat every hour. Bathe the feet well and administer a good dose of castor oil or salts." Seizing Opportunities. Time is worth a great desl in this era of all improvement, and just there comes the point for due consideration. If by the many llttles which " make a mickle " some tangible good can be secured, she is most efficient ,find praiseworthy who seizes the opportunity. " What a pretty little coat you have, Nanny ?" exclaimed a lady to a tiny child making a formal cell with her mother. The latter was not overwhelmed with joy at the piping reply, "Yee, and it's made out of papa's old trousers." There was room for honest pride instead of ember- rasement, for it was " a pretty little coat" and wore well and served every purpose in spite of its unpromising genesis. makes this teat possible is peculiar to the service in the Uuited States. The illustration, taken from a snap -shot of my own, explains it better than any de- scription could. The pouch is slightly suspended from a crane. As the train whizzes past, the mail -clerk opens out an iroh rod, the "catcher." The pouch, as the rod strikes it in the middle, folds over it, and is drawn into the car. The rod is also known as the "snatch - pole;" and by various other local names. The pouch is made of canvas, not of leather like those in general use. It is tied in the middle, and hung upside down, and the mail is put in the upper section; otherwise it, might swing around, and its lock is apt to strike the clerk, In the "Middle States" division some 2200 pouches are caught every day, and the failures average only two a day. Since 1889 appointments to the United States Railway Mail Service have been made under CiTil service rules ; but even before that no incompetent clerk, no matter how powerful his political back- ing was retained. Herein lies the secret of the fame, world-wide one might say, that the service has attained. It has served the interests of the public, not those of political machines. This is a matter of vast importance, for as it re- quires about four years' experience for a clerk to become thoroughly familiar with his duties, a change in •the force' every four years would simply prostrate the service. Such a change would doubtless raise a siorm of protest, for in no branch of the government 'would in- efficiency be sooner brought hornet to this people than in the Postoffice Department. The Railway Mail Service has the same Attractions as railroading—quick travell- ing and a constant and exciting change of scene. There is more or less exhilara- tion in being ever on the move. Yet alt is not so rosy as it seems. For instance, the rule of mo many days "on," with Vas same number of days "oft," seems ee attractive feature to most applicants. But take the double round trip from New York to Pittsburg—six days "on" follow- ed by six days "off." The hours are from 1 a.m. to 9 p.m., and after such a run the nerves of the clerks are more oe less unstrung. Then during the six days off reports must be made out, facing slips for the neat runs prepared, and othet details attended to, so that a clerk may not extract more than one or two days of solid vacation during the six. Sun- days and legal holidays he knoweth not. The statistics of the Railway Mail Ser- vice are most interesting. All the oars in the service would make a train twenty miles long, which would require several miles of locomotives to draw it. During the year ending June 80, 1891, the last fiscal ear of which the statistics are We have a large stock of Tweeds and Fine Weested Suitings, and a big ,election of Fine Pantitige;, and as we have scoured the services of Mr. W.

Change of Climate. An eld lady away back in the thirties owned a cabin near the boundary between North Carolina and Virginia,but she always considered herself a resident of the former State.

Union Butter. " Thanks," remarked the star boarder to the landlady at the table, " but I don't oare for union butter." " I don't understand you," said the land- lady, with an unctuous smile of doubt. " No ?" responded the boarder pleas- antly. " In union there is strength, you know." What Confirmed the Suspicion. Mary (angrily)—" I think you are the biggest fool in town, John."

Fine as is the work done by some of the almost fairy fingers of some of our ladies, yet they themselves can only look with amazement at what the Chinese women accomplish; and the more exquisite the workmanship here, the more does its author marvel at the results there. Chinese embroidery is the most remark- able which ever came from human fingers. Any lady who has ever attempted embroid- ery understands the difficulty of, giving a neat appearance to her work on only one side of the article embroidered, but the Chinese embroider both sides, so that by turning the work it is impossible to detect a difference or to say which is the neater, and this, too, on material so thin that it seems impossible to work with it at all. One ot the peculiar features of a piece of Chinese fancy work is the hem with which they finish the out edge. American ladies fold down a fiat hem and fasten it with a whip stitch; the Chinese roll the edge No as to make a cord, and then hold it in position by a blind stitch. The work is wonder- fully delicate, and is said to be done by Chinese women, working at what we would (smolder starvation wages. Books. " Some books are to be tasted, says Lord Bacon, " others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested." He might hive added, " and some are to be avoided." Coleridge was a great reader ; from his own experience he utters this warning against reading bad and Inferior books: "Never, under any circumstance, read a bad book; and never spend a serious hoar in reading a second-rate book. No wordsjcan overstate the mischief of bad reading. A bad book will often haunt a man his whole life long. It is often remembered when much that is better ts forgotten ; it intrudes itself at the most solemn moments, and contaminates the best feelings and emotions. Reading trashy, second-rate books is a grievous waste of time, also. Books, remember are friends ; books affect character ; and you can as little neglect your duty in respect of this as you can safely neglect any other moral duty that is oast upon you." Salting and Working Butter. Churns worked on the revolving principle have now largely superseded the old-time dash churns, and the practice of running the butter milkoff by the means of a hole at the lower end of the churn, after the churn- ing is done, is very generally followed. The usual method of procedure, after the butter- milk hastbeen washed out by means of fresh water, is to remove the butter from the churn and salt it, and then work it by hand, or by the use of a butter worker. But the salting and the working, however, may be done equally well, and much more conveni- ently, while the butter is still in the churn. The way to do this is as follows: Suppose that you have washed the buttermilk out by running ' fresh water through the butter in in the usual way now stop up the bung- hole, apiily a little salt to the butter, and pour in some more fresh water. Next,!put on the churn cover and give the churn a few revolutions. By this motion the salt be - becomes mixed with the butter and breaks up the particles, and thus any buttermilk that may have been retained within these particles is set free, and is run off with the water when the plug is removed. This buttermilk, if not removed, is frequently the- cause of the white specks which are sometimes mean in butter, and also the cause if its going oft flavor much sooner than but- ter perfectly free from buttermilk will do. After this last water bas been let off, sprinkle about half the salt that you intend to apply over the butter ; close the churn, and, somewhat sharply, give it half a revolu- tion ; atop it suddenly, and reverse the motion for the same distance. After a few of these half -turns apply the remainder of the salt, and repeat the motion several times. This movement causes the butter granules to roll over and over, and thus the salt be- comes thoroughly incorporated with it. Finally, give the churn a few full revolu- tions at such a rate as will 01111110 the better to fall from one side of the ohurn to the other. This gathers the batter nicely ; and then it may be lifted out of the churn ready for the packing tub or the butter printer.—D.

We claims Such au 'the largest stock, the choicest goods, the best value at The Price of Canadian Wool. The Toronto Trade Review says : We learn that certain buyers of wool in country districts of Canada, notably some store- keepers, have embraced the idea, that wool is likely to go higher in the States. There- fore they think themselves justified in pay' ing higher prices for the Canadian article. There is nothing in the condition or pros- pects of the British wool markets to lead one to look for a marked advance on present prices ; and if the notion of increased values is based upon an expected remission of the duties on wool by the new American Ad- ministration, it would be premature td speculate just now upon that. Supposing this to be the policy of Mr. Cleveland's Government, there is not likely to be a session of Congress before December next. And if reduction or abolition of the duties were decided upon then, the change would hardly be made operative for some months thereafter, It is not likely, there- fore, that any advance in price arising from this supposed policy will come until next spring. Buyers of wool will do well to pause before paying advanced prices that it may take a year to realize, if they are realiz- ed at all. Planning a Garden. In planning a garden it is useless to have it so arranged that the land should have an early crop on it and then grow up to weeds during the remainder of the season. The weeds should be cut down even after the crop is off, and it is just as easy to cultivate a. second crop while doing this as to go over it just for the Uncle Sam's Cats. Three hundred and odd oats are main- tained by the United States government, the cost of their support being carried as a regular item on the accounts of the post (Ace department. They are distributed among about fifty post office', and their duty is to keep rate and mice from eatiisg postal matter and mail,esoks. Their work is of the utmost importance wherever large quantities of mail are collected—as, for ex- ample, at the New York post office, where from two to three thousand bage of such material are commonly stowed away in the basement. Formerly, says the New York World, great damage was often done by mischiev- ous rodents, which chewed holes in the sacks and thought nothing of boring clear through bags of lettere in a night. Troubles of this sort no longer occur, now that the official pussies keep watch.

Dr. Jane E. Robbins is a lady who has practised medicine for years among city poor people. She knows batter than most others their needs and how to help them. The greatest need of all is thst of cleanliness and thrift. It is the result of their ignor- ance. Many of the slum people are unable to epeek or underatand English. The only communication between them and people who speak the language of the couatry must be through their children. At an early age these young ones learn hnglieh after a fashion, likewise their parents' native tongue. Most of the children attend the public schools. Is view of the possible visitation of cholera, Dr. Rollins proposes that these children Phall be carefully instructed as to the disastrous effects of leaving accumula- tions of filth and decaying matter in houses and streets. Then they themselves are to be taught bow to cleanse both houses and streets. Forming themselves into brigades under the instruction of competent physi- cians and officials connected with street cleaning, school children from the poorest, dirtiest quarters of the city might do the work of keeping clean the streets in their neighborhood. If the necessary methods of sanitation and cleanliness are explained to them, there is no doubt but then would enter upon their new task with all the child's enthusiasm and make a wonderful change in the slum streets and tenements in a short time. They would explain to their parents the require- ments of the health hoards everywhere and scrub and purify their own homes thoroughly.
