FACTS ABOUT DEAD LETTERS THAT GO TO WASHINGTON. 1'h err Number Deoif easing In Late Years and More Returned to Senders—A f3ys- tem That Records' Everything Without Regard to Value. Visitors to the dead letter office who turn the leaves of the immense photograph albums to examine the soldiers' pictures ;raved during the war and gaze down at the long table where a dozen men are gpening letters never realize the amount of work it takes to produce order in the i ohaos of lett` rs and parcels gone astray. Banged alog the sides of the great room Where the openers are and also in several rooms near by are the bookkeepers or re- porders. Their labor is seldom appreciated, • because its results only are seen. Without them it would be impossible to answer the many inquiries for missing mail or to lo- cate any artiole which tate office has re- ceived. Uncle Sam's business methods are 2ften oritiolsed as intricate and laborious, but the necessity of a system of records of ills kind cannot be doubted. .About 16 tier cent of the 7,000,000 pieeea received yearly contain valuables. An ac- curate record of each article is made, giv- ing its address and disposition, Six sets of books are used for this -purpose, one for Money,' one for papers which have a mon- ey value, as notes and mortgages; one for other viduabiepapers, such as receipts and eeitifioat©s; ne for stamp', one for photo- grtfpls, and` lige for property.and misoella- pedes articles received in packages. Thistle are all returned•to the sender if the address is given. If there is bond- • dress, oped- dress, but. a legible postmark, they •are sent to the postmaster at the mailing office for delivery to the sender. If there is no address and no postmark, or if the post- master fails to -deliver the article and -re- turns ft to the department, it is flied. In the case of property the articles filed are kept two years and then sold at public auction, excepting such books as are se- lected for the department library. Several hundred,booke are added each year to the library, which. is for the use of the officials and clerks exclusively. They comprise largely worksf notion and poetry intend- ed ter gifts. The moneywhich cannot be returned to the owner is kept for three months and then deposited in the United States treas- ury. It may be reclaimed within four years. In these books 1 cent receives as numb attention as $50, a receipt being - signed by each clerk through whose bands it passes. No red tape is spared on account of small valuables. received. Every time the department issues a fraud order against any swindling concern that concern is not allowed to receive its mail. Its letters are stamped "Fraudulent" and sent to the dead letter office. Thousands of dollars yearly are thus•saved by the department and restored to the people in money and stamps alone. The stamps which cannot be delivered are dostroyed email month. The photographs and valuable papers which had been kept on file were allowed to accumulate until the summer of 1898, when the oldest files were destroyed, ex- cepting only such papers as marriage oer-_= tificates, wills and others of exceptional value. At present only those photographs and papers Sled within the last three year,. are kept intact. The rest are destroyed. Thus Uncle Sam, with Yankee praoti- calityt utilizes,everything that comes in his way. He realizes a neat little sum ease year from the auction sale of packages, from the deposit of lost money and also from the destroyed matter sold as waste paper. In addition to these reoords is a book Which gives the postal history of lost man- useripts,'wh$ch number about 1,000 yearly.; There is else a record of inquiries for missing mail and a record of registered ui ttor. - The registered articles received aro ,not distributed among the six desks named, but a separate record is kept of them, so that these are the largest of the record books, and the articles kept on file here are miscellaneous in character. Every month the periodicals which have gone astray in the mails and reached the dead letter- office are distributed among the charitable institutions• of the district. They are the department missionaries that cheer the siok and bless the lonely. It is expected that the order to postmas- ters in regard to the plainer stamping of letters will facilitate the work of this office to a large degree. Postmasters are now ordered to•stamp each letter distinctly with the name of the mailing office. It some- times requires half a dozen clerks with magnifying lens and every facility for "blind reading" to decipher a single -post- mark. This kind of stamping is usually Clone in the smaller offices. The letters from large cities almost always haven legible, postmark. When this ruling is enforced the percentageof matter returned will be inb eased. The amount of matter received at the dead letter office has decreased in the last few years. This is probably due to the efficiency of the "Don't" circulars, which are sent: to ell postmasters for the dissem- ination of rules of preoaution to be ob- terved by patrons of the mails. This office might be called the head- quarters of Santa Claus. A6 any rate, It is where his mail`is received. Every an- tumn his letters come in by hundreds, and later by thousands: There is every variety 1 spelling and childish chirography. ere is also a variety of places assigned eel his •alSfding plane, such as the north pole, fairyland and other place' not with- in reach of the postal service. But the little folks are not the only ones who send indefinitely addressed letters. Two examples will serve to show the rare discriminating powers assigned to the postal employee by the public mind. 'Please deliver toe physician who is a natio(' of either Nova Scotia, New Bruns- wick or Prince Edward Island." Evidently the area involved was too wide, ,and the authorities gave up the Search. • "Forward or give to a widow, age 82 or over, with dark brown hair and eyes; height, 5 feet 2 inches; name unknown." At a glance this would seem an easier task. To find a widow is simple enough. To find one with dark hair and eyes would be a more specific task, but still not ob- jectionable perhaps. But making it plain- tir by using the age limit put - things in A different light. It was too delicate a task for a p�o 'man.

A very florid woman with a crimson dress took a seat opposite and after glancing at her neighbors and examining the menu remarked to the waiter that redhead ducks were not served that day. Then the waiter came around to get the young women'e order, whereupon one of them glanced at the florid woman and then at the bill of fare and said to her sister, " The boiled lobster is not on the bill." • An Extraordinary Item.
