THE relations between England and
Russia become daily more strained. Russia
continues to advance upon Afghanistan and
England continues to prepare to resist that
advance, All the while Russia says that
she means nothing at all, and that not in
her widest moments has she ever looked
with longing eye upon England's Indian
possessions All of which England pretends
to believe, but acts as if she knew that
there is not a word of truth in it. The ap-
parent danger of conflict has caused a
flutter in the London market. Stocks have
become weak. But Uncle Sam might smile
little, for with tho decline in stocks there
has been an increase in the price of Ameri-
can breadstuis.

the outlying bureaus are hauled up In
the rear of the office and the mail Is
banded out to them for distribution.
These vehicles are of every description,
from heavy, red, circus-likc vans to
neat covered carriages, which have u
strong suspicion of twilight aud Sun
day excursions about them. The
heaviest mail generally goes 20 the
PCstofllce Department, due to the
routine correspondence between the de
rartmcnt and the 10000 poslmastcrs of
the country. Each postmaster has oC
casion 10 write at least four letters each
quarter to the department, thus inyoly-
ing II mass Of 200, 900 letters every
ninety days, or more than 1000 day
from this cause alone. Then there Is
an equal volume Of business In the
Dead Letter Bureau, where all uncallcl.
for, miedirccted or unintclligiblc letters
are sent The other two departments
that receive enormous mails are the la
lcrior and the Treasury. The mails
fer the Pension Bureau OF the Interior
alone often mounts into the thousands.
The great official mail goes out to the
North and Wcst at 10 o'clock mt night,
hut az much matter ~ possible Is sent
at O'Clock to help the railway clerks.
There are few buster spots than the
postal cars on the 10 clock train be
tween Washington and Baltimore.
The Government mail consists almost
entirely of sealed packages, so that lit
tie need be said of the methods of
handling the lower grades of mail mat
ter. Some parcels 60 open, however,
and these are handled in connection
with newspapers, samples, books,
shoes horned toads, and other bulky
articles. The size of these parcels does
not admit of pigeon hole basis of dis.
triLution. The clerks therefore stand
in The arena of mimic amphitheatre
of labelled pouches rising about them
in overlapping tiers, and toss the bun
dies into the gaping mouths of the
sacks. 1t looks easy, but 1t is special
art. One calm, elderly clerk, who has
spent life shooting pouches, has a
perfect aim. 1t is as beautiful to watch
him as he pops the bundles into their
proper holes as il is to see Dr. Carver
break glass balls or Ewing throw to

the hardest plants in boxes are ranged
ON either side Of the main walk, and
contribute materially to the beauty Of

fountain, In full play, presents Il beauti-
full effect, especially when rejecting
