Should the sultan he deposed by the
great powers he would be succeeded by
his youngest brother, who has been kept
under such strict seclusion that he may
be either a cipher or an idiot. Raschid
Effendi is confined within the palace Of
the Cheragan together with his harem
and his officers of court. Practically he
is q state prisoner. He is not allowed to
receive q single letter, book or newspa-
per or visitor from the outer world. The
sultan's life inside the palace is Of the
simplest kind. He rises at 6 O'Clock and
works with his secretaries till noon,
when he breakfasts. After that he takes
o drive or u row on the lake within the
palace park. Next he gives audiences
and dimes at 8 o'clock. In the evening

WEIGHING THE MAILS.
The Work Done by the Post once
Department last Month.

Every four years the government
orders IL weighing OF the mails on all the
mail trains OF the United States, for
n purpose OF uscGrtLining what sum
10 u the various railroads Of the
country for transporting the mails, as
The compensation is fixed by the num-
Der Cf pounds carried over each ROAD.
1T is impracticable to weigh the mails
every day, which would be the proper
method OF course, as it is II very big
Joo and requires extra assistance on
every postal car, so that the expense
would be enormous, but the govern.
ment undertakes TO make a close al
Proclamation upon which u definite
conclusion is reached. The whole
country is laid off into four divisions.
and tao weighing of the mails il
carried on successfully in each divi-
sion. This year the fonrth division
hus been the sphere OF operations, and
for the pa5t month the Weighing pro-
Co.'S has been going on in tue States OF
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
ton Of Louisiana. The plan of the
g vernment is to weigh the mails oc
each train for not less than thirty sue
ccssive working days, by which a
general average Is secured, and from
this average the volume Of business
1pr the next four years is determined.
Tho government takes its chances for
a reduction In the volume o. business,
but the probabilities are all in its favor,
Rs The postal business is constantly on
the increase in this country.
The time designated for the weigh
ing OF the mails in this territory ex-
pred on the 3Oth Of March, which ia.
Guided thirty working days and five
Sundays. The railroads transporting
the mails on Sundays get an advantage
in the general average, as the daily
amount Is ascertained by dividing the
grand total into thirty parts, which
Increases the average of those doing
sunday work. Five hundred clerks
and one hundred and fifty woighers
h"vc been employed since the 10Th OF
February in coliuting the facts upon
which TO base IL calculation to fix the
pay in this division, and several weeks
VIII be required to tabulatc the figures
before it will be known how much
each railroad will receive from the
government as compensation for haul
Ing the mails for the next four years.
The total cost to tho government in
this division will o be less than 81
100000, which will be distributed each
year .mong the railroads, and thus
help to maintain and improve our
transportation facilities.

ment of this holiday was primarily to
advance the interests of the working
classes, to make their day an Ameri-
can institution and secure for their eff
forts at self-betterment the indorse-
ment of the general public. The popu-
larity OF the labor holiday has engen-
dered enthusiasm among the toiling
millions and gRlrred them on to acts
Of dignified Tdtea and self-assertion
that have brQughb about results that
have redeundfd greatly to their COM
fort and advantage
The thousands Sof assemblies and
reunions that will be represented in
the pageants Of this great fall holiday
excite all the more wonder and admi-
ration when ie fs considered that they
are the outgrowth Of only ninety years
of unionism. 1t seems almost beyond
belief that the fentire American con-
tinent at the beginning of this century
consisted Of "a dozen or more New
England tailofss who in 1906, banded
themselves together for mutual pro-
lection, but SUCH was the case. Fur
thermore, the emancipation Of labor,
even now far from complete, was of
particularly sloW growth in those early
years. Indeed, sthere seems to be ample
ground for believing that from the
time the toilers organized, there was
period of about thirteen years in which
