NEW YORK POSTOFFICES.
Number 59 and Their Net Receipts Az
 gregate Over $5,OO0,000.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The post office department is preparing statis- tics dealing with the New York and Brooklyn postofices, and the other of fees which will be included in the Greater New York. While the depart ment is not pushing this matter at all, it is nevertheless greatly interested in it, and for the benefit of the post
 master-general and his assistants, who will have the. matter in charge, all available information is being collect ed. First Assistant Perry Heath has had MT. George w. Beavers of the dlUiSiOn of salaries and allowances, prepare a comprehensive schedule of the numerous offices included in New York, showing the gross receipts, the pOstmasters salary, the allowance for clerk hire, for rent, light and fuel, miscellaneous allowances, the num- Der of carriers, the cost of the carrier service, and the total cost The fig ures greatly exceeded the estimates made by the department, and show a state of affairs which cannot fail to be gratifying to the residents of Greater New York
 The total revenue darived from the postoffices on the list is $9, ,189, ,931, ,69, while the total cost is $4, ,137 ,259. 50, thus showing on the face of the balance sheet a net profit of over $5,000, GOO. The total revenue from all the offices In the United States is about $8O,O00,- 900, and from this list it is shown that the revenue of the offices in Greater New York is about Il per cent of the whole. AS the postoffice business is regarded as a barometer of the busi- ness of the country, some idea of the amount of business transacted in New York and the surrounding territory can be formed from this list. The gross receipts for the New York of flee for the last fiscal year were S7,S11 ,S60, and the total cost of op- erating the office was S, ,159, ,342; of the Brooklyn office the receipts were $, Ill ,428, and the total cosct $S55, 5,16O
 Included ip Greater New York are thirty mine or forty stations of the larger offices, and over 125 sub-sta- rions. The postmasters drew last year $70,723 in salaries. The allow ance for clerk hire was $1, ,S40,S24; for rent, light and fuel, $173,557, and for miscellaneous expenses, $32,651. The total number of carriers employed is I,904, ana they receive Sz,Ul9 ,oO4. In the list are three first-class offices, seven free delivery offices, nine sec ond-class offices, eight third-class of fees and thirty-seven fourth-class of fees. Thirty-six offices are in Queens county and twenty in Richmond coup- ty. The department will soon be in possession of more details regarding these offices, as we'll as the interchange of mails between them under the pres ent arrangements.

Ranch Life.

II is 60 difficult to imagine young
American voluntarily choosing ranch
as start in life that it is hardly worth
while trying to do SO. As a rule he
either thinks Of the country az the place
where market vegetables come from
and Thanksgiving turkeys are raised,
or else it represents to him q large and
expensive establishment at Lakewood
or some such place. with a casino and
Bowling alley and polo team attached.
And as for the most part the American
does not play polo nor hunt nor shoot
nor fish with any real, genuine en-
thusiasm, the latter view he takes is
scarcely more alluring than the former.
Down deep in his heart he knows that
he would much rather be trying to rup
an electric railway or bank or build.
ing bridges or losing money in Wall
street than to be doing any Of those
things. But the young Englishmap is
entirely different. He has always known
and enjoyed outdoor sports. Il is the
life he likes best, aud he imagines that
ranch life is, first and foremost, q sport
ing life.-Abbe Carter Goodloe in Scrib-
her'G.
