The Way in Which Railway Postal
CLERKS Learn the Mail Routes.

The way in Which Railway Postal
CLERKS Learn the Mail Iscutes.
The railway postal clerks have a
unique method for learning the routes
on which post offices are located, says
the Philadelphia Record. Take, for ex-
ample. the state of Pennsylvania, in
(which there are over five thousand Of
fees. The prospective mail distributor
buys a quantity of blank cards-about
the size OF the ordinary visiting card
and on each of these he writes the
name of an Office. On the back of
..he card he writes the name Of
she route by which the Office IS
eerveCi with its mail Taking in hand
apacl of these cards-say from fifty to
one hundred-he goes over them one
after another studiously, looking at
She back each time and getting the
name and route clearly associated i'll
his mind. The second. time he goes
through the pack he finds that he
1.nows half of the routes by reading
the names of the Office. 1t is a dull
student who. upon going over a pack
o9 cards q dozen times, does not know
them thoroughly. The method is SO
sinple and such an aid to me.norizing
shat it is adopted by all railway mail
clerks. BY it clerks have been known
TO memorize state like Pennsylvania
Inside of two months.
On all large routes clerks work but
hall time. the other half being devoted
10 rest and study. The mail clerk at
home, continually reminded of coming
examinations, carries his cards wher-
ever he goes, coming them over at
every opportunity. One demonstrative
clerk on the New York e. Pittsburgh
railroad post Office is famed for having
learned the state of Ohio in four days
AS he shuffled over his cards he walked
from garnet to cellar, and vice versa,
from dawn until the shades of twilight
fell On the fourth day he went to the
examiners Office and separated Ohio
without an error.
IT is related that the wife of postal
clerk adopted the card method for in
creasing her vocabulary in French. On
one side Of the card she wrote the
French word and on the other the Eng
fish equivalent to be learned. Another
lady, hearing of this, used the same
system successfully for learning my
ihoiogy, placing the word MARS, -" for
instance, on one side of the card and
war" on the other. The method has
so many advantages over the old and
tedious way OF learning from the pages
OF n book that it might be utilized with
ADVANTAGE hy teachers in search Of new
methods of imparting instruction.

DOWN IN A SALT MINE.
Periious Descent and How Il Is Acco,
plished.

Periious Descent and How Il Is Accom-
plished.
''Our exploration of the salt mine
was not one of unalloyed pleasure and
we do not know that we should care to
repeat it. No matter. we had enlisted
for the campaign, therefore we pushed
on and soon reached point where our
leather aprons were brought into use,' -
says an exchange. First, however, we
think we came to the lake, which. sur
rounded by a row of dull lamps, ap-
peared TO be an acre or SO in extent.
and entering a boat we were rowed
across it. 1t looked black and tasted
very salty. Everything here looked
black except the dim larnplight, which
served only to make darkness visible.
We will not say that we thought we
were in the Internal regions, but we
viii admit that q sort of shudder came
over us, lest is out of deep sleep we
might be in some such place. From
this landing we now prepared to de-
scend into vast Dit, seventy feet deep
from the top of our heads-the distance
from where we stood to the bottom be-
ing forty or fifty feet. A large, smooth
piece of tim Der, with a rope for Il guard,
extended q about the inclination of an
ordinary staircase-lf anything little
steeper-to the bottom, and this was to
serve as our car-isgovay.
Each gentleman now being fur
nished with thick leather hand shoe
to protect his right hand in grasping
the rope, our guide seated himself
astride this beam and slid down few
feet, brecing himself to allow us to fol
low suit. This, with lamps in our left
hands. we did at once, the ladies being
sandwiched between and holding
to the shoulders of the gentle
man who clasped the rope. The
word was given and off we shot into the
darkness below. Our guide managed
in some way to check our fall so that
no bones were fractured, but, although
this may be very good way to prove
the utility of leather aprons, especially
when worn behind, we are not prepared
to recommend the performance, either
for healthy exercise or amusement. Ex-
tending from the bottom of this pit
there is d shaft in which the miners de-
scend five hundred feet farther into the
bowels of the earth, but having no de-
sire to explore regions so far inland we
did not ask to enter. After collecting
some specimens of rock salt, which lay
here in heaps, ascending by steep
fight of stairs, we all mounted astride
a wooden horse, sandwiched, as before,
and by our own momentum were car
ried swiftly down the rail into day
light, perfectly content with Our first
experience of salt mines and inclined
planes"

BENEATH THE SNOW.

II does not seem so long ego
Since we, with childhood's poise,
Deemed oil time dull that Travelled SLOW,
Dispensing inesgcr joys.
But as the years move swiftly on
EGc E season makes Us know
Fresh gricfs and loss, with dear ones gone,
Who sleep beneath the snowl
Wien Winter comes and wraps his shroucs
Around tho dying years,
Ana hides the bright heaven with clouds
That weep their chilling tears
We know Springs face VIII smile again
Ana groves with beauty glow,
Although their roots are cold and waa
Benea tn the drifting snow!
And when the gloom Of driving storms
Wr.ps the white hills il night,
And tail trees sway their leaness FORMS
20 resistlcsS might,
Each object seems q specter grim,
Each sound . wall Of woe,
Blending il one sad funeral hymn
For those beneath the snowl
And when Young Spring her garland spreads
Upon the budding bowers,
And in the valleys where she treaas
Her footprints bloom with flowers,
We love to think our faithful dead
Eternal Spring shall know,
And Paradise its odors shed
Upon those tonlbs OF snoN
We love to think Of One who walked
Along our earthly way,
Who with Us suffered. wcpt and talked
And laugh: US how TO pray,
And lie who for one lowly head
Made life's new pulses flow,
VIII not forget each humble bed
Beneath the crystal snow!
We cherish Still the loved and lost
Who started al alone,
They are not chilled By any Frost
Or held by any stone;
And when a-down the vale OF years
It is our time to 80, {
We know some will shed bitter tears
For us beneath the snow.
-. Andrew J. Edison, in Inter Ocean.
