not in his work. The minute hand had

writing. His gaze dropped to the page
upon his desk. AS he scanned the
verse he had written his eyes took on
the mingled dreaminess and sparkle
one sees only in the orbs of poet.
He drew from his desk a little glove,

seized his pen and began on another

THE RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.

An article from the pen of Jasper Hun
nicutt,'' which appears i'm this issue of the
Journal, is worth reading merely as a mar
graphic and accurate account of what
takes place in the railway mail service
every day in the year. 1t is a realistic
sketch of the life of railway postal clerk
and gives an idea of the severity of, his
toll and of the difficulties he has to en-
counter. OF the 5000 men employed in the
service it is said by those in position to
know that one-half are always under just
such a strain as is there described. The
days of the postal clerk are nights, or
duty assigned him. Sunday is his most
dreaded day. and he is practically the only
government employe TO whom that day is
not one of leisure. His position is the
most hazardous under the government, ex-
cept the soldier on the field of battle yet
needless is the public of what is be-
ing done for 1t. so ignorant are people. in
fact, of the character of this service, that
the postal clerk is seldom thought or
spoken of save by some grumbler who,
when his newspaper is one mail late,
charges inefficiency upon the entire de-
partment. He has his wants and griev-
ances, but is not given to airing them
promiscuously, and, as rule, only his fell
ships are many and severe. his anxiety
TO serve his country faithfully and well
is so great that in many instances he as
sumes duties or undertakes work that
could not be Justly required of him, nor
would it be did he not volunteer. The
railway mail service concerns every per-
son who enjoys the privilege of a resi-
dence under civilization, yet less is known
of its workings than Of any other branch
of the public service. Should it cease
to-day, in three days the business world
would be paralyzed, yet should the ordin-
airy business man be asked the meaning of
the words. Railway Mail Service" he
could give but a vague idea
"Hunnicutt's' experience gives a glimpse
of the work done by these faithful men,
cannot be touched on in single article.
one of these peculiarities is that the work
has grown to an extent pever dreamed of
when the service was established The
amount of mail handled has increased
enormously. with the result that individual
clerks are required TO do vastly more labor
than at first. yet their compensation has
not been increased in proportion Consid-
ering their work and the responsibility
placed on them they are not a well-paid
class OF men. A great deal is demanded
of a postal clerk. He must be able-bodied.
he must be quick-witted and rapid of
movement: he must have mental and phys
ical endurance: he must be faithful. ener-
getic willing to sacrifice himself for the
sake CT the service. and he must b Of un-

The final decision of the vestry of Christ
Church to remodel and enlarge the present
building with a view to permanent &C.
cupancy is a matter of some public interest
on account Of the location of the church
and the architectural beauty of the build
ing as 1t now stands. The site is so central
and conspicuous, fronting on Monument
place. that it should always be occupied by
structure in harmony with it's surround
ings. The present, while by no means one
of the largest church buildings in the city,
is INTELLECTUALLY one of the most beauti-
full, If 1t does not surpass all others in this
respect. The marring of this feature would
be public loss, and it is to be hoped for
esthetic and educational reasons that great
care will be taken that the enlargement of
the building shall not lessen its architec-
tural beauty.
