The great number Of hands employed,
as IL customary in Eastern countries
,vbera labor is so cheap. First there
il the posting office, with the curious
sallow little faces crowded into the
I9y12 window space. Next comes the
stamping room. each table surrounded
nv biisy workers who look like women
With their pinned-up queues, and full
neither garments. The letters are
slowly and Intellectually stamped, one
At a time, with a big modern stencil,
much like a miniature churn-dasher,

from the table into baskets on the floor.
The baskets are taken up when full by
bows and taken to the inspection room
and thence to the distribution room.

bees and silent as the grave; they are
not allowed TO talk-blessed precautlon

The foreign and domestic mails are
then divided, and the next step is the
asserting and the registry rooms,
where the mail is done up in small
brown bags. In the mailing room the
clerks wear full European dress. Al
the door is the foreign mail cart, a

and ends of bright red Stats. In this
the bags are laid carefully, and a coclie

dock. where il is transferred, by an

collector uses a hand cart and two

are boxes similar to American patrol
boxes, but only about q tenth as large
The mail has been shot into them from
the openings on each side OF the gable
roof. and the collector has to unlock

THREATENED RETURN or mSeLEr5.


1t is announced that ringlet, are to

whiskers are coming in for fashionable
men. The general attitude in face Of
such piece of news is that OF unbe.
lief. with an uncomfortable underly-
ing fear that there may possibly be
some truth in it. Ringlets belong
strictly to the sentimental period OF
the worlds history, and the practical
women OF to-day would hardly know
what to do with them.
They were founded on the theory
that the hair Of all pretty girls curled
naturally, and that after the morning
bath they had only to shake their
bright tresses in order to produce a
whole crop of riaglets, all arranged in
the most picturesque and pleasing or
der. This was the theory. In prac-
tice there were curl papers, curling
tongs, curling fluids, and many Kin
drcd devices, all Of which together
were far from suHicing 20 keep the
ringlets in curl. II was the daily dread
Of the fashionable woman that the
crisp corkscrew Of her curis should
fail her and turn into limp, abject

In the beginning of or Queens

of our own day. Florence Dombey

A facility for weeping, III fact, seems
to have accompanied the era OF ring

that it might possibly return with the
revival Of the fashion. There is really
no saying what even a modern girl
