 HERE is some useful reading for our postmaster and outsiders should also peruse and obey it. The matter consists of sections 50, 3l and 35 of duties of pestmasters:
 Sec. 30. A postmaster will suffer no person whatever, except his duly sworn assistant, clerks, letter-carriers, and special agents, to have access to the letters, news papers, and packets in his office, or what ever constitutes a part of fhe mail, or to the mail locks or keys. This prohibition extends to r-carriers and all other persons who may be employed on other duties than handling the mails.
 Sec. 3l. Mails must not be opened or made up by the postmaster or his as sistants within the reach of persons not authorized to handle them. The post master will, therefore, while dlscharging these duties, if a room be appropriated to the use of his 0ffice, exclude from it all persons except his assistants regularly employed and sworn.
 Sec. 50. POstmasters must not allow their offices to become resorts for loung- CTS or disorderly persons, and are required to keep their offices in such clean and orderly condition that they may be visited by women, children, and others without impropriety or embarrassment.
