CLIMBING THE LADDER.
The Training of clerks In the Railway
Mail Service

MHh SERVICE
The training of clerk in the railway
mail service is necessarily severe. His
first appointment after he has passed
the civil-service examination is really
no appointment at all. He is simply
named" as substitute" without com
pensation, unless he chances to make
an occasional run in place of one of the
regular clerks. As substitute he finds
opportunity to faniliarize himself
enough with the requirements of the
service to receive an appointment on
trial at eight hundred dollars year.
His regular work will then be little
more than lifting pouches in and out of
the car, or shifting them in the racks;
but he should be able to find time to
memorize the distribution for a certain
section of the line. This requires that
he should know by heart the names of
from nine hundred to fifteen hundred
post offices, and whether they are on
the main line or not, or, if not at what
junction letters for any particular
office leave the line. He is examined
every month at a table; and pigeon
holes at the headquarters of his division.
| Cards bearing the names of all the
offices in the section on which he is ex-
| amined are given him to distribute in
the pigeon-holes according to routes,
and a record is kept of the results. If
he acquits himself creditaS Fly, and the
chief clerk in his rolling post Office re-
ports favorably on his mental, physical
and moral qualifications, he is pro-
NOTED, when a vacancy occurs, to the
next higher grade at 5000 year. Mean
while his monthly examinations con-
tinue, and he is obliged to add section
after section to his knowledge, until,
as they say in the ser"ice, he knows the
Requirements of his route" which
means on important routes the memo
rizing of from $4,000 to 10000 Offices,
and the lines by which they are reached.
He has then 4 chance of promotion to
Class III. at $1,000 a year, and if he
makes the best record in this class he
goes up to Class ". at 81, $50, and final
ly to Glass V. at $1,000 year, above
which lie the higher appointments OF
the service.--Harper's Young People.

is nothing more or less than a pro-

how 1t goes. l generally have eight
couples.
Instead of having the game in the
parlor, l give it in the dining-room.
There are four tables spread, simply in
white, with big jug of milk in the
center of each, and set with four plates.
Everybody being seated, tap lit
tie bell, and a waiter comes marching
with tray, on which he bears sixteen
pieces of pie, each on a separate plate
Of course. Each guest is served with
piece.
"They can have any kind they like
best, providing the young man and the
young lady composing couple take
the same kind.
Then tap the bell again and every
body eats. The couple that gets
through first goes to the head of the
table, replacing couple, who take
their places. l generally give four
rounds for game, and in case of tie
| let them try it once more.
"They may drink all the milk they
like, of course Sometimes it gets very
exciting. Some will eat sparingly al
first, but come in like forty in the
homestretch Others will do just the
opposite.
"They all pronounce it great sue

popular. The only thing that handi
caps us is the scarcity of good pie a

Patience is not alone characteristic

merically, than any other race, but l

a great deal of this quality of nature
displayed by savages, such as the ne
groes of Africa and the Indians of
America. We all admire the armor of
the old English knights and the won

the eye of the seeker after curiosities
and rarities simply blind. The whole
is intricate and interesting to look at
but closer inspection will invariably
show almost endless work-labor OF

of the negroes of the south have fish
ing-rods and tackle that are marvellous
of delicate hand workmanship, so much

FACTORIES IN THE SOUTH

Grenada is making an effort to raise
Funds for large furniture factory, in
connection with parties from the North
5west. Twenty thousand dollars ix neces-
ssary, and about two-thirds of this
amount has been subscribed. some OF
the merchants taking as much as 81, ,OO0
seach. This speaks volumes for the
;live and progressive people Of the wide
awake and entorprising town of Grena-
ida. The factory would distribute near
,ly 81, 900 weekly to its hands, all OF
(which would be spert in Grenada.
Factories are the salvation Of the
South, and the sooner they are estab-
llished, the earlier will prosperity come
Ito our section. Those established in
THE South have yielded large returns
to stockholders and been OF great ben
|eft in the communities where located.
The Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany is sparing no pains to induce man
|ufactories from the crowded North
west to come South, and the people Of
the Southern towns and cities should
meet them halfway at least.-Jackson

PROPERTY OWNERS OBJECT.
They Say They Did MOI Sign a
Trolley Road Petition.
Lively Times Expected at the Ho-
boken Aldcrmen's Meeting.

There promises to be a decidedly lively
time at the meeting OF the Hoboken
Board of Aldermen his evening. The
Jersey City, Hoboken and Rutherford
Electric Railway will present a petition
for the privilege of conducting its
trolley lines through several streets.
There Is no objection raised to this save
in one instance.
Among the streets for which the
franchise is asked is First street. the
narrowest and busiest t~horoughfare in
Hoboken. The Company has a document
purporting TO bear the signatures Of
more than two-thirds OF the property
owners on that street praying that the
franchise be granted .
When this fact became noised about a
canvass was made by some interested
party, and as a result 1t Is stated that
the signatures are not those of property
owners, but of people who rent houses
on that stree.
A council of war was held, and the
property owners, accompanied by coun-
sci. will appear before the Board tonight
and oppose the granting of the franchise.
They say First street Is entirely too
narrow for trolley road purposes, and
that If the road Is run through II will
depreciate property value and kill busi-
ness.
The outcome, of the meeting tonight
Is awaited with great interest. 1t Is
limited that some Of the signatures were
obtained by means of false representa-
lions.
