To make Cottage Grove out of KodikgrOf
requires, to say the least. a peculiar degree
of intelligence 1t is said that after long
experience, this ability to read blind letters
becomes largely matter of instinct. and
the reader will assign letter to its proper
destination without being able to give a
reason therefor. Capt. Bean is said to be
the best blind reader among the present
force. The system of records in this office
is so exact that any letter which comes to
the Office is traceable, and also the names Of
the clerks handling it. Each clerk upon
entering and leaving the office writes his
name and the time in a book which lies
open near the superintendent's desk.
THE LOCK BOXES
in use are of the government pattern, and
those at present rented number over 800
more than are rented in Chicago. There
are three kinds of boxes, renting for
81, S1.50 and 50 per quarter. A large
number of the boxes are rented by people
who live out of the city proper.
Another feature of this depart
ment is the book in which
are entered the amount of postage used by
the various periodicals issued in this city.
AS each days weight of papers is mailed
the corresponding amount in stamps called
for is pasted into book in which is entered
the weight of the papers. The stamps are
then destroyed by punching. This book is
guarded jealOusly lest it be inspected by
rival newspaper men, who sometimes
would give dollars for as many seconds
possession of it.

where are the best dreSsmakerS, the most
skillful physicians and dentists and the
cleverest preachers, and million other lit
tie details on any one OF which the public
may require information at any minute.
The general delivery clerk, coming as he
does into closest contact with the public, is
either a perfect Job or hopeless mis-
anthrope. To him appeal all husbands
who can't find their wives, wives deserted
by their husbands, parents seeking long
lost children, creditors looking up long
lost debtors, all expecting satisfactory
answers to their inquiries, and woe be unto
that poor clerk when compelled to say 81
do not know" Do you wonder that the
long-suffering man occasionally wears a
dazed expression?
The general delivery is intended for the
accommodation of transient people, but
there are persons who live in town for
years and always receive their mail through
that medium. Over such individuals the
little window seems to exert sort of faSci-
nation; every day, and frequently several
times day, through cold and heat, in rain
and shine, they make their pilgrimages, as
to some sacred Mecca; if they receive let
ter one day, thinking that it is the pre-
cursor of more to come; if, as is more
often the case they get none, hoping the
morrow will bring better luck. The stamp
window is not exactly bed of thornless
roses, either. Here the real genuine cranks
seem to congregate, like the woman who
wants flour OF five stamps" and when the
clerk endeavOrs to pin her to a definite num-
Der, informs him with an indescribable air
of condescensiOn that there are plenty of
places where she can get stamps, and he
needn't trouble himself to give her any: and
the man who comes up with hundred OF
more pennies, and the clerk politely in
forms him that it is against the regulations
to receive more than twenty-five, pockets
them all and departs, indulging in language
anything but respectful to either the clerk
or the government he represents. 1t is
also against the regulations for a
clerk to put stamps on letters for the
purchaser, but the elegant young ladies can
never be made to comprehend the fact, and
when the clerk declines to oblige them they
pout and go off remarking that he is ''just
too mean for anything" The lady who
feels called upon to ask the clerks, when
everything goes amiSS with her mail, if they
know that she is paying them their salaries,
and the gentleman who enters all COM
plants with the postmaster general, are
ubiquitous, holding forth to anybody whose
attention they can attract. In fact the
people at large, finding the postoffice the
most accessible department in the civil
service, mean to make it useful, applying to
it on all occasions, in and out of season; a
dignified clerk even being once overwhelmed
by a lady's request that he license her bull
dog.

thrown also the transit matter, which forms
no incOnSiderable portion of the amount
handled at the ST. Paul office. Through
this office passes all mail for the North
western states, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Dakota and Iowa. This matter is dumped
from the wagons, which transpOrtit to and
from the trains into broad shoots leading
from the alley at the side of the Office into
the basement. Before being thrown upon
the table it is weighed, and record kept
of the weight On Wednesdays, the weekly
newspaper day, the two men behind the
table handle an average of
FOUR TONS OF MATTER.
This department is in charge of Mr.. Juds0n
Parker, who has been in the service for
twenty-seven years. The first batch of
clerks, or morning crew, go on duty at 4
a. IN. and work until a. M, coming on
again at 4. p. m. and working until
every piece of matter in the office is dis
patched upon the late trains. The working
of this department is one of the most inter-
esting of the Office, involving as it does a
wonderful amount of training and the pos
session of an extraordinary memory by those
employed in it. Aside from the effort re-
quired to recollect the exact location of
1,200 postoffices, the schedule time of trains
and their network of connections, every
change of the time card upon any one of
the railroads leading thither disarranges the
scheme and necessitates a forgetting of the
old and rearrangement And the mail
thrower must recOllect instantly,
NO TINE FOR REFLECTION
or hesitation being allowed. AS an exam
pie of the work required upon one route, it
may be mentioned that upon the Northern
Pacific road from st. Paul to Portland, Or,
five general separations are made. The
force employed here is subject to constant
examinations, when they are required to
throw the entire case under inspection.
Any less percentage than 80 means dis
missal, except in rare cases. Mr.. Parker
threw the cards upon his last examination
with only one error.
AS each pouch or sack is closed, locked
and labeled in this department record is
made of the dispatch in book kept for the
purpose. In the basement is stored also a
large stock of surplus leather pouches and
sacks for the purpose of supplying. the
small offices throughout the Northwest,
this office being the central point of supply.
The outgoing mail matter is sent out on
ten different routes, and as each route agent
or postal clerk comes into the Office or de-
parts with his load he registers in book
for that purpose. In case of non-register
there is case of non-payment.
When the incoming mail, or that destined
for distribution in this city, arrives, it is
weighed and counted and put through the
dating-with-a -hand-stamp process. 1t is

which each carrier gets the mail belonging

office business st. Paul is the depository of
eighty-fve money order offices and postal
funds from all the offices in Dakota, Min
nesota and Wisconsin, ranging in amount
from each Office quarterly from
cents to $1,000. Here are paid the
salaries of siXty-one postal clerks,
and money orders in the excess of about
three dollars to one issued by the St. Paul
office. During the past ten years there has
passed through this Office over $12, 900, 000,
of which amount only $40 was extracted
here, the abstractor being promptly detected
and sent to the penitentiary.
THE REGISTRY DIVISION
keeps employed three persons, as does the
money order division. The labor performed
in these departments requires exceptional
care and trustwOrthiness, and the st. Paul
postmaster has been exceptionally fortunate
in the obtaining of competent assistants in
this as well as in every other division OF
his Office.
Many original ideas beneficial to the pos
tai service have had their inception in the
ST. Paul office. Among them is
the idea of sending a clerk to
La Crosse, Wis, to meet the fast mail
and get the matter set up in shape for. the
carriers to handle by the time the train ar
rives in this city, 5:45 a. IN. BY this ex-
cellent innovation the business men of St.
Paul have been enabled to inspect their
most important letters an hour earlier than
would otherwise have been the case.
EVERY PROMOTION
in this Office since the present postmaster
assumed direction of affairs has been made
strictly upon civil service basis.

most interesting branch of the public service

For vulgar praise or empty voice acclaim,
Which servile follows earthly elevation
To tinseled fame.
I care not for the city's wild commotion,
Its crowded homes and smoky spires high,
It's pain. its toll, deceit and blind devotion
To hollow fallacy.
Give me of friends the few that nearest to me
Can feel with me my heart s own fond desire,
And in the heated din OF life come to me
And cheer, inspire.

Whose restful beauty wakes the soul anew,
And warns to life divinest Inspiration

therefore. as well as because the subject is
an extremely interesting one, the details OF

recommended to the consideration of the
readers of this paper.
The first floor of the government build

streets. is divided by a series OF wire, glass
and wood partitions into five general di-
visions. These are known as the mailing,
box and general delivery, letter carriers,
money order and registry divisions. OF
these the respective superintendent are
Ed. S. Bean. of mails; George w.
Hardacre. of letter carriers and of the
box and general delivery: Thomas
Swanson of the registry division, and Au-
gust Z. Golfers. the money order division.
The postmaster, DR.. David Day, occupies
the Office at the extreme northwestern cor
ner of the building, and his assistant, L.

money order division. 1t will be observed
that all of the partitions are OF nature

There are employed in the office in the
various departments, including the post
master and assistant, sixty-siX people. The
letter carriers number thirty-five, including
several substitutes There are three grades
of carriers-regulars. auxiliaries and sub
stitutes. The salary of the regulars is $3.50
per wear. and that of the auxiliaries $50 per
month. The substitutes are paid by the
carrier whose work they perform in case of
his absence. The salaries of the clerks en-
ployed inside the Office do not average as

Mrs. Emily l.. Miltnes
was born in 1859, and is a
daughter of DR.. Kalthof Of
Milwaukee. When very
young she exhibited a great
talent for music and song,
and the best teachers were
at once engaged to give her
the artistic and scholarly
training which has won for
her such an excellent repu-
tation.
The debut of Mrs.
Miltner was in the year
1875 at the auarto-centen-
nial jubilee of the Milwau-
kee Music Verein. Her full,
soft, alto voice of an enor-
nous compass, created the
greatest sensation and car
ried the audience by storm.
All. the leading newspaper
crit cs congratulated the
new star and gave her the
most flattering notices.
From this date, Mrs. Emily
IL. Miltner became the fa-
gvorite singer of Milwaukee.
! In the year 1875 Mrs.
Miltner left the United
States to pursue her studies
at Vienna, Austria, under
the tuition of the celebrated
mistresses of art, Marchesi,

much of this distance consisting of stair
