For several years past the post Office
department at Washington has been
protesting against the inferior accom-
modations Of the New York and Chica.
60 offices, which are the governments
chief money-makers. Both buildings
are owned by the federal government,
and both are conducted not from
their liberal postal revenues, but by
appropriations made by congress. The
New York post Office, in use since
1875, is on land ceded by New York to
the federal government. The receipts
OF the New York Office in a year are
seven million dollars. The expense,
including eight thousand dollars to
the postmaster and seventy.five thous-
and dollars for gas, fuel and other de-
tailed items, is two million five hun
dred thousand dollars, leaving net
profit to the government from its ope-
ration of four million five hundred
thousand dollars. The receipts of the
Chicago office are four million dollars
year. and the expenses Gncluding
six thousand dollars for postmaster)
are one million five hundred thousand
dollars, leaving net profit to the
government OF two million five hun
dred thousand dollars; so that New
York and Chicago together net seven
million dollars.

The hottest region on the earth's
surface is on the southwestern coast
of Persia, on the borders OF the Per-
sian gulf. For forty consecutive days
in the months of July and August the
mercury has been known to stand
above one hundred degrees in the
shade night and day. and to run up as
high as one hundred and thirty de-
grees in the middle of the afternoon.
At Bahrin, in the center OF the most
torrid part of this most torrid belt, as
though it were natures intention to
make the place as unbearable as posi-
BILE, water from wells is something un.
known. Great shafts have been sunk
to depth of five hundred feet, but al
ways with the same result-no water.
notwithstanding this serious draw
back numerous population contrive
to live there, thanks to copious springs
which burst forth from the bottom of
the gulf more than a mile from the
shore. The water from these springs
is obtainedin most curious and novel
manner. Machadooes, whose sole oc-
cupation is that of furnishing the peo-
pie of Bahrin with the life-giving fluid,
repair to that portion of the gulf where
the springs are situated, and bring
away with them hundreds OF skin bags
full of the water each day. The water
OF the gulf where the springs burst
forth is nearly two hundred feet deep,
but the res-divers-manage
to fill their goatskin sacks by diving to
the bottom and holding the mouths Of
the bags over the fountain Jets; this,
too, without allowin the salt water of
the gulf to mix with it. The source
of these submarine fountains is
thought to be in the hills of Osmond,
five hundred miles away. Being situ-
ated at the bottom OF the gull it is q
mystery how they were ever discov-
cred, but the fact remains they have
been known since the dawn of history.

"No, l didn't"
"Then what's worrying you?"
"The way she treated me-"

The drummer fired his half-smoked

A Model Wife.

The best natured woman in the
world resides in the city of Austin
She has been married a number oil
years to man named Peterby, who
is one OF the most disagreeable, quar-
relsome men outside OF the Texas leg.
islature. And yet Mr.. and Mrs. Peter.
by have never had a aquarrel, for the
reason that it is impossible to make
her angry. He has scowled at her
and occasionally waited a chair at
her, just to see if she wouldn't get
angry, but he suffered disappointment
in each and every instance. Peterby
had been Dragging to his friends
about what a good natured wife he
had, and Gilhooly offered to bet $50
that if Peterby were to 60 home, raise
a fuss and pull the tablecoth full of
dishes off the table she wonld show
signs of temper. He had tried that
with his wife once, but he never re-
peated the experiment.
Peterby said he didn't want to rob a
friend of his money, but he knew he
could win. At last he made the bet.
The friend was to watch the proceed
ings through a window. Peterby
came home apparently fighting drunk.
She saw him coming, went out to the
gate, opened it, kissed him and as
sisted his tottering steps into the
house. He sat down hard in the
middle OF the floor and howled out:
"Conlound your ugly picture, what
did you pull that chair from under me
for?"
al hope you did not hurt yourseif?"
she replied, smiling kindly. az was
to blame for it. l am so awkward.
But I'll try and not do it again if you
will forgive me this time" And she
helped him to his feet, although she
had nothing to do with his falling.
He then sat on the sofa, and sliding
off on the floor abused her like pick
pocket for lifting up the other end OF
the sofa. She said she was sorry and
finally led him To the supper table. He
threw plate at her, but she lodged
it and asked him if he would take tea
or coffee. Then the brute seized the
tablecloth, sat down on the floor and
pulled the dishes and everything over
him in one grand crash. Some wo-
men might have lost their temper, but
not so with Mrs. Peterby. She did
not blubber like child; she did not
even sulk or pout. With o pleasant
smile, she said:
"Well, George, this is new idea
We have been married 10 years, and
never eaten our supper on the floor
Won't it be fun! Just like those pic
MICS we used to 60 to before we were
married." and then the angelic wo-
man deliberately sat down on the
floor alongside of the wretch, arranged
the dishes and fixed him up nice
supper. This broke him up. He
owned up he was only fooling her and
offered to give her $50 to get herself a
new dress with. She took the money
and bought him suit of clothes and
a box of cigars with it. Heaven will
have to be repaired and whitewashed
before it is fit for that kind of a wo
man.
