To be one of an army of 10.000: to
Ay Wtlron 1 23,000' miles every
year;stand In n car forming part
°* 1 rushing train, surroudd

!»!P ra*c. t>f 2.r>00 per hour; knowing
that every error goes ngnlDst yoyr
record; to w<rrk sometimes sixteen to
twenty-four hours at a stretch, often
sleepy and hungry—ttiose are some of
the dully experiences of the railway
mail clerks.Then mid to these the
constant possibility of being knocked
into eternity or crippled for life in a
wreck.
Yet they are a contented lot. these
nulway^ mall clerks, lmppy only
wheu “on’the roul.” 13ut it is uot
the environment for a - ornestic man,
t>or for him who has passed the top
or the hill or life and is Jogging down
"to the dark valley beyond. Thus a
tjority of the clerks are voung men;
are preferred by the* l*ost Otilce
Department, for they have fewer
CBres, are more active, and can work
faster and with greater accuracy.
Uncle Sam is proud of the jtorson
flaiol of this expert force and takes
every precaution for tlio.r safety and
coinfort. Their hours are lixed. nn<!
overtime is required only in eases of
absolute necessity.
A Traveling Postoffice.
i.»^ m,,‘- car technically an
It. P. O. or Railway Post Oilice. It
runs between stated points, receiving
and distributing mail through -t
odices along the line. Tt Is il govern
ment post office on wheels, and is
United States territory, though owned
by the railroad. It Is as well built
and as completely equipped for Its
purpose as a Pullman. Iron racks foi
mail sucks extend along each side.
Above are tiers of open boxes and big
holes. ‘‘Work tables*’ si ■» on
»the racks. There is neither plush nor
mahogany.. It is built for work and
id the abode of workers.
Let us imagine that this ear is the
“R. P. O.” leaving Pittsburg. Ta.. for
< leveland, Oliio, over the i'ennsylva
cla road. The Pittsburg city post otlice
delivers to the car mat! for points east
of Cleveland (called “local mail”) and
"through mail” for Cleveland and
points west. The train rushes out of
1 ittsburg. The whistle blows for a
station. No stop here. A “helper,”
opens a side door, swings out tlie mail
"catcher" and pivks up a mail sack
from a crane by the track. Now the
work begins. This sack contains mall
from the station just passed. Some of
It is for the next otiiee, some for
Cleveland, some for the for west.
The mail is dumped on a tabid and a
«Ierk pounces on it like a wolf on a
lamb. He tosses letters in all direc
tions. He throw's papers and pack
ages hither and yon, this way and
that, as fast as an expert «ard plnyer
•an distribute a deck. But evorv piece
©f mail finds Its mark in a particular
■sack or box. Th" «'>ckc» nnd boxes are
labeled; hut the labels are* unneces
sary; his quick eye catches only the
Dante of the office, ignoring that of
the addressee. Though th« work p
poars mechanical It calls for a high
degree of training. Note the marvel
lous accuracy—less than two per cent,
rf errors In the work of the whole
force for a given year.
The whistle blows for another way
•tatlon. The door is opened, n sack is
thrown off, and the catcher yank9 an
other sack about for distribution. And
•o it goes without cessation. The
whole scheme Is go arranged t"’at
there Is just time, working wiUi the
■tmost speed and accuracy, to make
connections.
1 Skill Needed to Throw Sacks.
Bao£s 001,9 for anotl
cr kind of skill. The expert know
from the weight of snek. speed o
Iralo and pressure of w***d just whp
■nd how to let the sack go. He cn
drop it on a mark. If n platform b
crowded or littered with baggage h
must pick a clear spot lest liis < nuno
ball of leather and tnnll reocu u
against some unsuspeeuog iruveier.
- huve 3een u mail clerk drop a sixt
pound sack from a train going a mil
a minute, landing it lightly on a true
twenty feet from the track.
Of course there are accidents, an
danger is always present. Yet In te
{ears past but 06 clerks have bee
illed on the ’ond—an average of te
• year, witjj . force numbering up t
11,000. The legal representative
each clerk erf killed receives $1,00
from the government. Arrangement
■re contemplated to\ paymont of a
annuity to every clerk permnuenti
disabled in line of duty.
The mall car Is usunrly next the
tender and runs a greater risk In ac
cidents than a passenger car. But
ti»e position Is sometimes odvnnta
greous. An instance is cited of a pecu
liar wreck near Poughkccpsje, N. Y.
The train was crossing a bridge when
tin wld>\ The comparatively light
tender and mail car responded instant*
ly, while the heavy baggage and
passengi r coaches constituted a drag
that broke the coupling. Relieved of
this burden the engine, t uder : r 1
muil ~r%r shot ahead and leaped t •
tWenty-foht draw, landing on the <
er side in safely, 'tip engine ea encd
and side-wiped the iron bridge we
tearing its jacket ro tatt rs and
knocking the cab into the riv
rest of the train, with brakes set au
tomatically, came to a stop without a
foot to spare.
Itccs Nut ii nil Spendthrift a.
The New York Times reprinted from
a Montreal paper—which doubtless
lifted it from one In Londort—a most
amiable story to the effect that when
bees are taken to Australia they learn
in a single year the uselessness' of stor
ing honey for a winter that never
comes and that they thereafter aban
INTERIOR OF A MAIL CAR.
uuu ineir aear-nought fame as models |
of industry aud hilariously devote to
sport or Idleness all of their time ex
cept just enough in each day to satisfy
that day’s hunger. No doubt this tale
will shock and grieve a large number
of estimable people, but for our own :
part, says the Times, it very consider
ably increases such little affection as
Wo previously had for these tiresomely
virtuous fowl and therefore will we
do our best to believe it. There are
somo difficulties in the way of doing
that Bees, despite their reputation for
intelligence, are evidently about the
stupidest things witli wings—merely
animated acquisitiveness, indeed work
ing as hard as an American million
aire to pile up wealth fa- beyond any
possible needs, without a single talent
except to get. get, get.
As fighters, while bees are brave
enough, they are unable to strike more
than a singlo blow against any of their
more dangerous foes, dying themselves
as a result of It, while the foes, after
howling with pain for a bit, calm down
and hunt more honey. It Is almost
incredible, therefore, that a creature
incapable of seeing the futility of work
carried to an absurd extreme only for
the profit of human robbers should be
able so quickly to draw an inference
from the failure of winter to appear
when expected. "Almost” is not
"quite,” however, and we, too, can be
lieve what we want to believe. So we
will not question the story from Aus
tralia—where everything Is possible,
anyhow—and we hope that somebody
will take a few of our ants down there
and prove that they, also, are Indus
trious only because they have to bo—
tfct* they are not a bit fonder of Indus
try than aro the butterflies or any of the
sluggards who have always had the
sense to see that between toil to-day
and hunger to-morrow there Is so little
to choose that difference* of opinion
on the subject are entirely permissible.
Famous for Artificial Nonce.
The city of Indore Is modern and
ugly and uninteresting. Apart from
being the prosperous capital of a rich
native state, Its chief <1aim to notor
iety rests upon Its hospital, which has
won universal fame by the manufac
ture of artificial noses. That may
seem a very limited Industry on which
to build a name. But In India there
are several ways of promoting this In
dustry. When a woman comes to the
hospital carrying her nose In a napkin

OCR SUGAR COXSUMJ*TWX.
Beet Suirar .Now Mere Than tlai# the
VvortuS I otaf i'roduction*
Of tlio more than 1,200 million do!
I lar’s worth of merchandise brought in
to the United states during the last
year more than 150 million dollar’s
worth was sugar. Sugar formed by
far the large- t . inglo item In this larg
esl importation whicn the United
States has ever made in any single
year.
The U itr*d States Is increasing
| steadily and rapidly its consumption
of sugar. The sugar producers at
homo aro increasing their out-put of
both cane and Leet sugar, but even
their rapid increase in production is
not keeping pace with the increasing
homo demand, and as a consequenco
♦ho quantity of sugar brouglit into tho
country increases from year to year.
It haB doubled in tho last twenty years,
while population meantime increased
but 50 per cent. Tho annual average
import at Ion during the five-year period
ending with 1885 was 1,021,149 tons,
ami dv-ing tho five-year period ending
with 1905 tho annual average was 2,106,
042 tons, despite the faet that tho sugar
production at home had grown from
176,035 tons In 1885 to approximately
600,000 tons in 1905.
The United States is the largest
sugar-consuming country in the world,
though the per capita consumption In
this country is not as great as In the
United Kingdom. The total consump
non m i:»04 aggregated 2,767,000 tons,
making an average consumption for
each individual for tho year of about
75 pounds.
During the half century prior toTsHTo
beet sugar formed a small proportion,
of the world’s sugar production,
tho percentage which beets supplied
of tho world’s sugar product being in
18-10 but 4.8 per cent, in 1850 14.8 per
cent, in 1800 G3.7 per cent, while 1900
showed for beets the highest propor
tion in the world’s production of sugar,
G7.7 per cent.
Ghostly Ashes.
They had just moved In the house

“Just look,” complained tho littlo
woman, “hero aro three horrid pails

“Ah,” laughed tho big husband,
“speak of them with more revorence.”
"Reverence. Why should I?
“Why, they aro tho ashes of the de

la wasted.
I Lave long criticised and seriously
objected to the making of so many
!aw8» an<J I have long contended that
mm arc not made good and honest by
statute, remarked Representative
Justin D. Bowersock, of Kansas re
cently.
“The comparatively * Indiscriminate
enactment of legislation on all subjects
general, special and personal—is a
great evil and a greater folly. I have
insisted that selfishness and prejudice
are at the basis of too many enact
ments, and that human nature and
the settled principles of business and
commerce, honorable competition, and
the results of supply and demand can
hardly be changed by law to any ben
eficial extent.
"Corporate greed, cupidity, and cor
ruption can be, ought to be, and will
be modified, curtailed, and brought
within decent limits, to say the least.
No man desires thl3 oro earnestly
than I do; no man will go further
along any reasonable lines in any le
gitimate and practicable effort to
bring this about, whether it be In con
nection with railroad rates, Standard
Oil rebates, beef trust, unlawful com
bination, watered stocks, or whatever
or whoever may burden the consumer
or producer, unduly or unjustly, for
extortionate gain.
“ ‘Equal rights to all, special privil
eges to none’ will not come through
Impracticable, non-Cnforccahlo laws
drawn on the theory that wo have
reached the millennium.
“The ordinary legislator, and his
name is legion, has a legal panacea for
every ill. If ho had as much lionestv
as assurance, the title of hiB bills
would be:
“ ‘An act to make men do business
on earth as it is done in heaven.' a
consummation devoutly to be wished;
hut let us not forget the effect of the
Pope’s bull against a comet and the
beating of tom-toms liy tno aborigines
on an eclipse.”
A Two-l'oot Rut.
A warehouseman at the Oriental
dock, In Baltimore, had the distinc
tion the other day of killing tho larg
est rat ever seen along the local water
front. The rodent weighed nearly
seven pounds, and from tho tip of his
nose to tho end of his tail ho measured
two feet.
It was only after a desperate fight,
lasting twenty minutes, that tho im
mense rat was killed. For some tim<
scraps of paper and wood in tho tool
room of the warehouse indicated that
a swarm of rodents was at work. Then
one morning tho warehouseman en
countered tho big fellow. With a
broom handle lie attempted to put an
end to the rodent’s life, hut tho rat
showed fight. Back and forth ho
scampered, and when cornered he
rushed at his assailant Once ho hid be
hind a coil of rope overhead, and then
he dashed at tho man’s head. The
latter dodged hut the rodent's sharp
teeth grazed his face. At last tho rat
was killed and measurements proved
that he was tho biggest ever seen In
port.
The animal is supposed to be a spe
cies found in South America and it is
believed ho camo here in a ship, all of
which carry many rodents.
St NATCH? I.OOGE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE HlS AMENDED BILL
IN IRONICAL VEIN.
senator LwH: i 111 providing for
lh© reorganization of tho consular ser
vice has been shorn by the Committee
on Foreign Relations of If a most In
cendiary and detestable features—the
provision for examining candidates
for appointment, end this still more
objectionable section:
'That whenever a vacancy shall
occur In the offloe of consul general,
or consul at>ove the sixth ($4,000) class,
members of the two classes next below
that in which tho vacancy occurred
shall l»e deemed eligible to he selocU l
to fill such vacancy.”
This was a paloablo attempt to en
graft the merit and promotion system
the eorwo’lsr service, and thereby
to deprive national la—maVers of their
ancient. sacred right to assist, the Prcsi
'ent In selecting consuls general and
Mch-eafarted consul*. A majority of
fhe committee rogsrd ft ns the sordid
infection of commercialism Into a pore.
1v political matter, on the flimsy pre.
tencp that t*>e consnlsr servteo Is a
business Institution.
If the Committee on Foreign Rela
tions had pe-mltted this section to
stenfl. ft would have been an abject cap.
♦tnjstton to tbe forre that are *ur
reot It lonely robbing ronrreee of ft*
patronage powers. The Idea that
young consuls that hive made good re.
oords should be promoted and ♦*>»>
prominent citizens recommended by
'eglslators should accept paltry places
nt the foot of tho list wan Intensely
repugnant to the Senatorial sense. As I
statesmen representing wAtchful and ex
pectant constituents, many of whom ex
Prclse valuable Influence In behalf of
flmlr party, they could not consent to
closing the door of hope. Every Con
pressional district has Its share of
elderly and hlghminderl students of the
world's affairs, men who may have been
rudely buffeted by fortune and who
cherish the hope of dodging further
cruel strokes by landing In a pleasant
consulate. They are men who have
done yeoman service for their party,
and often they retain connections that
can not be Ignored. Are these to be
[superseded and thrust aside by pop
Injays? Are the oxen that trend out
the com to he muzzled? Is the accurs
ed thW for roM to commercialise tbs
honorable offlc’e of eonsnl. so long the
haven of ancient mariner.-1 tempest -
towned on chsrtless political ee«s. the
asylum of Indigence, the badge of de

Th# Senate Committee on Foreign
Relation* will not have It no. That
committee, consulting Its bowels of
mmpfteefoTi. Insists that Congress shell
share with the President the pleasures
of rewarding the faithful with the fat
