EARNED THEIR SALARIES.
Work Performed by Letter Car
Iiers in Year.


Superintendent Negaard, of the city
postofcc, has compiled a statement of
the mail matter handled by the st. Paul
department during the year ending
yesterday. A decided increase in bust
ness over that of last year has made it
necessary 10 expand the forces in every
department, until now the part of the
government building devoted to postal
service is wholly inadequate to accom-
modate the employees. 1t is proposed
to enlarge the working room by fitting
up the basement, and in June, 1899, to
augment the force considerably.
According to the statement, the mail
delivered by carriers during 1888 con-
sisted of %. l34, 716 pieces, OF which there
were 12,707, 4ss letters. 3,416,3S9 postal
cards and 7,Oi1.920 newspapers. For
the same year the collections aggre-
gated 12,94G,S4 pieces, there being
9,54S,09 letters, 2,2l9.349 postal cards,
Ito, l05 newspapers. There were 20,502
letters advertised, 3l,l23 returned to
writers and Coll returned from hotels.
The total number handled by carriers
footed up 3G,0Sl $50.

a pressing demand from creditors is
supposed to be the cause of the embar-

Corn shocking time in the south during
slavery days was looked forward to by the
farmer and his family as one Of the big
events of the year, and when the runner
came around to invite all hands to corn
shucking at John Smiths, or Bill Jones'.
it was looked forward to by all who had
been invited the same as we look forward
to the coming Of circus. The negroes
from different plantations within five
miles of John Smiths would start to the
corn shocking soon after they had done
their days work and housed their stock
The leader, who was generally the largest
man i'll the crowd, would start up a song,
answered by all in his party, and could be
heard for miles around. They would
meet at the corn pile, and the one that
could halloo the loudest was elected the
captain, and would walk the corn pile and
give out a song until the last ear was
shucked. After the shucks had been put
in pen the owner of the corn pile was
carried around the house on the shoulders
OF several stalwart negroes, all hallooing
at the same time, and carried in and put
at the head Of the table and waited OH by
those who carried him on their shoulders
1t was happy time and the jug of old
corn juice played prominent part in the
shucking, but it has all passed away, and
the farmer who gets his corn shucked
now has to pay well for it.--Athens (G;..)

JENNY LIMBS BEGINNING.
A Delicate Swedish Girls First Steps on
the Road to Fame.

A Delicate Swedish Gfri's First Steps on
the Road to Fame.
Early in this century-1Ss0-there was
born 70 poor Swedish couple delicate,
insignificant looking child. She was
christeued Jenny, the family name of
Lind being added in the register almost rs
au afterthought, since it seemed lar,ily
possible that the child would outlive its
day Of baptism. Months passed; the lit
tie one lived, but could not be said to
thrive. Herr Lind, the father, had a
small school in Stockholm. He was as
sisted by his wife, who seems to have
taken almost no interest in her little
daughter, for as the baby grew into Ca
pacity for walking ard moving about, the
mother left her entirely 10 the care Of IN
ignorant woman, who locked the child in
a room while she went out to work.
But in the tiny, delicate frame OF this
baby was something which showed itself
even then as Il spark of the divine fire.
Before she could speak plainly the child
could sing-not merely catching u time
and carrying on the melody, but singing
SO that passerS by in the street beneath
the window Of the room where the child
was kept under lock and key would pause
to listen to the remarkable birdlikc notes.
Presently, when the little girl had grown
to her 9th year, some one heard this mar
velous trilling and vocalization, and en-
tered the house to find cut who was the
songstress. There she sat, perched up in
the window, cold, hungry and pinched
looking, with tiny kitten in her arms, to
whom-baby that she was-she was sing
ing in a voice like thrush, taking every
note with hint of that dramatic finish

combined to make her so unattractive that
as she stood before him he could not real
ize that any voice could redeem the awk-
ward form and thin, sallow face, in which
the eyes alone seemed luminous, from the
first impression which they had produced.
But when little Jenny sang, the first
phrase sent Croelius' doubts to the winds.
He could not restrain his enthusiasm. -
