WElGHTY MAIL CLERK.
Footprints Worn in the Floor Where
He stood Forty Years.

There has just been placed in the
postal museum at Washington an
oddly composed of five planks from
the flooring of the old Baltimore post
office. Imprinted in the wood are the
impressions Of two shoes. The impress
stems are as perfect as though made
in PLASTER paris, and were made by the
sGoes OF mail distributor, who stood
in the same spot day after day for 40
years, until his feet had worn through
the boards.
The name of the man could not be
learned, as he has now left the post
office in Baltimore. He came there,
however, about As years ago, and soon
afterward became a mail distributor.
He was compelled by the eXigencies of
the situation and on account of the
pressure for space to have his pigeon
holes ranged about him in a semicircu-
lar form.
He was ali hedged in by the desks,
and so had neither the opportunity nor
the inclination to move about much.
The man weighed when he entered the
service ABOUT 2Oo POUNDS, ana as ne got
NJ exercise while in the office, and little
outside, he increased in weight until, it
is said, that he tipped the beam at 300
pounds.
He soon found that by standing in a
particular spot, with his hee.s about
eight or ten inches apart, and his toes
turned well outward, he could throw
his mail into any of the pigeon oles
desired with less effort than by step
ping from side to side, and practice
made him perfect in this operation.
The planks are one inch thick, and
through one of them hoie is worn, I'M
derneath the ball of the foot, just as
though the plank was made of leather

WHAT RAILROADS SPEND.
They Are the Great Disbursing AEen-
cies of the Country.

The railroads of the United States eX-
pend in a year sum more than $780,
100000 in excess of the total expendi-
lures of the United States government,
and this computation does not include
nearly S250,000,G00 paid in the form of
interest upon railroad bonds or guar
anteed stock and from $50, 100000 to
$100,000,000 paid in the form of divi-
dends to stockholders. The railroads,
indeed, are the great disbursing agen-
cies of the country, handbag never less
than 81 1000, 900 in year and disburs-
| ing it all, or practically all, for rail-
roads as rule do not keep large bank
accounts, and do practically cash bust
ness, turning money rapidly.
An estimate made by one of the scien-
tific papers short time ago gave as the
railroads in maintaining the condition
| of their roadbeds $75,0O0O0O, besides
$35,000,0oO for the purchase of rails,
ties and sleepers, and $4,000, 900 for the
construction of new bridges. The rail
roads of the country spent last year for
fences, signboards, signals and watch
! towers $3,500,000 and for printing and
advertising, SIS, 100000. Very few per-
sons have an accurate idea of the ex-
tent to which railroad expenses are to
he subdivided, supposing, probably,
that the largest items of expenditure
| are for cars and engines, fuel, employees
and terminals. Such is the fact, but
there are other large items, and one of
the largest of these is the item of
taxes. Railroad corporations in the
| United States are heavily taxed, and
they pay collectively in year. it has
| been estimated, $40,000,000. There is
then another item which figures largely
in all railroad accounts, the item of
| legal expenses, railroads being drawn
into almost constant litigation and re-
| quiring at all times the services of coun-
| sci. 1t is estimated that expenses of
American railroads for professional
| legal services amount in year to about
| S10,000,000, and this is, of course, eX-
| elusive of the sums requisite to meet
claims for personal injuries or dam
ages to property. Some of the large
railroad companies eXpend as much as
$250,0O0 in year for the settlement of
such cases or the payment of judgments
recovered. This item of expense on all
American railroads is ordinarily put al
about $5,000,000. A serious accident
may entail on a railroad company dam
ages so large as to offset many months
of profit, and some railroads have been
crippled for long periods by such cases
There are in the United States ,OOC
railroad employees, 100000 station men
$4,000 engineers, 10000 firemen and
helpers, $4,000 conductors and dispatch.
ers, $4,000 trainmen, 10000 machinists
100000 shopmen other than machinists
10000 telegraph operators and theil
helpers, $4,000 switchmen, fiagmen anC
watchmen and 175,OOO trackmen. The
daily pay roll on all American railroads
combined, officers and clerical staff in,
Guided, amounts to about 100000 {

People speak about their eyes being
tired, meaning that the retina or seeing
portion of the eye is fatigued, but such
is not the case, as the retina hardly
ever gets tired. The fatigue is in the
inner and outer muscle attached to the
eyeball, and the muscle of accommoIa-
ton which surrounds the lens of the
eye. When a near object is to be looked
at, this muscle relaXes and allows the
lens to thicken, increasing its refrac-
tive power. The inner and outer
muscles are used in covering the eye
on the object to be looked at, the inner
one being especially used when a near
object is looked at. It is in the three
muscles mentioned that the fatigue is
felt, and relief is secured temporarily
by closing the eyes, or gazing at far dis
talit objects. The usual indication of
strain is redness of the rim of the
eyelid, betokening congested state of
the inner surgace, accompanied with
some pain. Sometimes this WEAKNESS
indicates the need of glasses rightly
adapted to the person, and in other
cases the true remedy is to massage the
eye and its surroundings as far as may
be with the hand wet in cold water.-E.
Y. Ledger.

mated today in one of the most terrific
electrical storms that has ever visited
this city. The rainfall was the heaviest
in the history of the local weather bu.
reau. In one hour and three-quarters,
five and four tenths inches of rain fell.
There was an almost continuous flash
of lightning, and buildings in nearly
every section of the city We're struck.
causing several small fires and doing
great damage. Telegraphic and tele-
phone service throughout the city was
practically at a standstill for several
hours. The cellars and first floors of
hundreds of business houses and dwell
ings were flooded. In the Easements of
the city hall and postoffice the water
rose to such depth that the fires under
the boilers We're extinguished. The
Easements of Gimbel Bros. and Wana-
makers, two of the largest department
stores in the city, We're flooded and
heavy damage has been done. A big

But whether Bismarck is inferred in
Friedrichshrue or Varzin it is under
stood that the nation will be given an
opportunity of showing its admiration
and expressing its sorrow for the de-
ceased statesman by a popular mani
festation in Berlin i'll the form of sol

in one of the Berlin churches.
The kaiser, as soon as he heard the

council, members Of the reichstag and
Of the Prussian diet and the state and
