COUNTY SEAT v1sIrArIONs.
All the Post Of1ices of the Country to
Inspected This Month.

All the Post Onices OF the Country to Be
Inspected This Month.
What has come to be known in postal circles
as 'the county seat visitations" is in progress.
Acting on the request Of Postmaster General
Wana-naker the postmasters located at the diff
ferent county seats will, some time between
August and December Is, visit every post Office
in the country. Letters have been sent out by
the department TO some 2, 800 postmasters ask
ing them to again make this visitation.
Last year it was undertaken az an en-
tirely new experiment. The department had
frequently in the past desired to come in closer
contact with the 10000 postmasters scattered
throughout the country. But no practical
plan had been offered until the present one
was adopted.
SATISFACTORY RESULTS LAST YEAR.
The results OF last years work are regarded
by Mr.. Wanamaker Of great benefit to the postal
service. The bringing Of the men who have
charge of small Offices into relations with post
masters Of q larger experience in the same line
Of work and the mutual help which such
an intercourse would have has been
demonstrated it is claimed. in the advanced
condition Of the postal service. The remark
able feature about the entire scheme is that it
does not cost the government one cent
NO COST TO THE GOVERNMENT.
The pos.masters located at the county seats
are gratiied to receive personal request from
the Postmaster General, especially when it
clothes them with an importance in their local
ity which they did not have before.
In some Of the counties there are $50 post
offices, while in others the number is much
less. Still there are enough in every county
and widely separated to require from the county
seat postmaster great many days
Of travel In going about from one
small town to the other the
visitor uses his own conveyance when there is
no railroad. He pays for his meals and night
lodgings unless the local postmaster
on his own motion takes him in
for the night. In some cases y
visitation occupies two weeks. But the post
masters seem to give willingly their time and
their money, and the result is that the depart
ment has an efficient inspection made of the
post offices Of the country without cost.
CONGRESS WOULD PROBABLY NOT APPROPRIATE.
1t is doubtful whether Congress could be
persuaded to appropriate sufficient money to
pay for the army Of officials that such a work
would require. A few years ago e1O0, 900 was
appropriated by Congress to pay for work of
thu kind, but it was all expended in the can
vass Of one or two small states. Even where
there are women as postmasters they do the
work just as faithfully as the men.
The visitors to the country post Offices are
able to give a good many suggestions about the
conduct Of such Offices which are appreciated by
the postmasters and end in great benefit to the
service,

NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 1892
The people of Washington could give New
Workers several pointers on dressing for hot
weather. The last two days have been extremely
hot here, yet one finds an entire absence Of most
Of the comforts of dress which prevail in WASH
ington in this blazing sort of weather. Occa-
sionally you see a man who has the nerve to
omit his vest. Neglige shirts are comparatively
frequent, but aside from this there Is little done
in the way of dressing for hot weather. This is
with reference to the sterner sex. The ladies
appear on the streets in genuine summer cos
tunes Of soft white goods, and Of course feel
the heat very much less than the men. who
swelter under hot, heavy garments. Walk up
and down Broadway or along 5th avenue or
upon the stock exchange or board of trade
and you find nothing but heavy suits upon
the men. Occasionally there is seen
a lightweight coat Of some dark material, but
even these are comparatively few. As for the
cool suits OF flannel, silk, Bedford cord and
other comfortable garments o: this character
which are SO frequently seen on the streets in
Washington, they are absolutely unknown here
One could travel the whole day here up and
down Broadway without seeing one Of them
Your average business man here wears a COM

and he united il to ascertain the contents. He
was Mortified to find the remains Of hum.n

the bag far enough on the beach to be sfs
from the waves, he notified DR.. Dean Of Brock-
ton, supervisor Of the town of Portland

Popular Ignorance Concerning Ventilation.
From the Engineering Magazine.
Upon no other subject connected with sani-
tary science has it seemed a task 60 Herculean
as to diffuse information among the masses
about ventilation. The effects Of want of good
ventilation are SO subtitle in their character,
certain retribution for sins in this regard is so
slow in coming, and when it comes Is to unin-
formed people so seemingly unconnected with
the sins, that it is almost impossible to bring
such people to see the relation between cause
and effect. At most, only languid assent can
be extorted from their minds to the proposition
that good ventilation is essential to perfect
health; and when they are told by some petty
heating contractor, possibly as ignorant as
themselves, that the ventilation In q building is
good. they accept the statement without ques-
ton, unless the facts to the contrary are so
plain as to be detected by that most unreliable
Of organs, the human olfactory apparatus.
In either Of the other two phases Of the bus
mess good work may be expected, although
Q plan, specification and estimate for q con-
tractor on some important job he will often re-
quire all his firmness to hold up under tbs
pressure for cheapness that will be brought to
bear upon him.
The most satisfactory Of all ways in which to
get designs for heating and ventilating appa-
ratus is for the owner or architect to employ
the expert under instructions that while need
less expenditure is deprecated, nothing the use
fulness of which can be demonstrated. no fea-
ture for the introduction Of which intelligent
and satisfactory reasons can be assigned, is to
be omitted. To get good job the cost must
not control, but must depend upon what is
needful. A good job must be the first aim; to
get this as cheaply rs possible the subordinate
end. Probably as good an example of o we'll
designed heating and ventilating apparatus a
this country affords is that designed for and
erected in the Metropolitan Opera House, New
York. Here the best results were reached
and only could have been reached-by putting
cost into the backpround
