In making appointments the commits
sion select those who make the highest
per cent. in the examination, and II the
applicant falls below eighty he had bet
ter try for something else. Postal clerks
are greatly bothered by illegible ad-
dresses. Since the two Dakotas were
formed it has been their i'll luck to get
hundreds Of letters addressed simply
to Dakota, without specifying north or
south.
The clerks have to endure all the
dangers of constant travel by rail, and
are not pensioned in case of injury, nor
is any provision made for their families
in case of their death. The gov
ernment expects exceptional ability,
at very low pay, giving the clerks
the privilege OF being smashed in a
wreck or shot by train robbers. The
life is full of hardship, excessive work,
and very little chance for advancement,
yet there are always thousands of appG-
cations on file at Washington, by those
who are eager to get into the service.

THE POSTAL CLERK.
He Has to Know Considerable for Very
Low Paw.

The passengers on the overland
trains as they whid along in their lux
urious Pullmans, do not often think OF
the many men employed on train and
their responsibilities. Who is the most
important man on the train? Some
may think the engineer or the conduc-
tor, but it is the railway postal clerk,
who probably has the most extensive,
far-reaching responsibilities to bear.
He must have his wits constantly about
him, he must be active, reliable, intelli-
gent and possessed of a remarkable mem
CRY. He cannot take things easy.
and is hard at work from the time he
enters his car till he leaves it at the end
OF his run. He may have to handle as
high as thirty thousand letters and see
ton by the shortest route. He will also
handle probably from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty sacks of papers
and bundles, besides caring for the more
precious registered letters and packages.
All these have to be worked into sacks
and boxes labelled with the different
towns and states. On long route like
that known as the Albuquerque and
Los Angeles postoffice he has to keep
awake over all the long route, for ii he
should chance to carry any mail past a
station in the night he would be
'tchecked" or reported to the chief clerk.
and reprimanded.
Such things rarely happen, however,
as the service is so systematical that it
is rare that a paper or letter is missed
by the railway clerk.
,Jhe clerks are kept up to the mark by
examinations which occur twice a year.
The man is first examined as to the
rules and regulations, and then he is
sent to the "case," which, in California.
is divided into pigeon holes, bearing the
names Of distribution postoffices and
postal routes, to which mail for other
places should be sent. The clerk here
rs supposed to know ''by heart" Just
to what point mail for every postofice in
Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona,
Nevada, California, Utah and large
portion of Mexico should be sent He
is given package of cards bearing the
name Of all such Offices which represents
letters, and each of these he must put in
the right pigeon hole in the cease"
There are on this division POS such
separations to make for all the post
offices in the states and territories
named, and it generally requires about
six months study to learn them.
In order to gain a position in this
branch of the government service, it is
necessary now for the one seeking for a
place to make request of the civil SER
vice commissioner at Washington for
application papers. He will fill these
out according to requirement and have
them signed by three citizens OF the
town in which he resides. They must
be accompanied by DOCTORS certificate
showing that the applicant is in robust
heaith. The civil service examinations
are held once year. To prepare for
this examination it really requires three

They are more liable to fall into Consumption
because they have the Asthma. Another idea
is that the Asthma itself is not q dangerous dis

for this city prove to all who read them that
great numbers lose their lives every year BY
this foul destroyer of our homes.
without courage and perseverance nothing
is curable. But with these, aided by proper
