From Counting House to the
Sanctum.

The brilliant young editor of the
Saturday Evening Post, George Hor-
ace Lorimer, was an employe Of Philip
D. Armour in Chicago, until he
reached the age of "a. He was in re-
ceipt of an annual salary of $4,000 and
was one of the most capable young
men in the service of the millionaire.
To the great surprise of his chief, he
resigned his position one day, his rea-
son being that he had no taste nor in
clinaticn for commercial life, while
ne had very strong prediction for
literature. He went to work for the
Curtis company, in Philadelphia, at
500 week. When The Post was pur-
chased by the firm and rSjuvenated, 1t
fell to the lot of Mr.. Lorimer to assist
in making up the early Issues. This
was his opportunity, He gave to the
paper stamp of originality and a
touch of genius which won for it in
stant popularity, and for him a co
yeted place in newspaperdom. He Is
a son Of the we'll known Baptist cler-
gyman, DIR. George C. Lorimer, of Tre-
mont temple, Boston, Mass.-Success.

United States Mails.

The figures received by the Postof-
flee Department as a result of the
weighing of the mails during October
and November show that in the 80
days during which the work was car
rled on total of 100000 900 pounds of
mail were despatched from the postof-
fees OF this amount 100000 pounds
wer what is called first-class mail
matter, which is a very small proper
tion of the entire quantity The sec
ond-class matter on which postage
was paid four times as great as the
first-class matter, while more than g.
100000 poudns were carried postage
free, being of the kind that is fer
county distribution. This includes To-
cal papers. Third-class matter
amounted to 100000 pounds, show
ing that the express feature of the
postoffice is no mean one But the
chief business of the department ap-
pears tc be to carry free government
matter and postoffice equipment, which
includes pouches, sacks and postoffice
supplies, More than SO per cent of all
the weight carried on the postoffice
routes consisted of free matter fer
warded by the government. The
daily average of free matter carried
for the government reaches the enor-
nous total OF 1900 tons. OF course
much Of this is In weight that is essen
tlal to the operation of the postof-
flee department, as supplies, pouches,
etc. But aside from that the govern
ment is served by the postoffice to an
extent that is not imagined by the
average citizen. If the pcstoffice
shows deficit occasionally it is not
one that the country can reasonably
object to, for were the government
to pay for its mails en- the same ba-
sis that the individual does no doubt
the postoffice income would leave mar
gin enough to make the system a
handsome revenue roducer,-Pitts-

Consumptives Benefited BY
Cold Air and Sunlight.

Fresh cold air and sunlight as
consumption cure, system well
known in Germany. is being tried at
the City Hospital on Blackwells Is
land, with results that the physicians
there say is satisfactory. Eighteen
women to whom this treatment has
been given for a month, it is said, have
shown notable improvement.
In the open air on the southern
plaza of the solarium these IS women
have spent every hour of daylight
since that form of treatment began.
Reclining in steamer chairs, they are
warmly clad and wrapped in woolen
blankets, and, with one accord say
they enjoy the cold.
They are under the care of DR.. Will
liam p. Earle, the house physician;
DR.. w. R. Stone, the senior physician
in charge, and DR.. Charles Ransom,
the visiting physician.
There has been no sign of a cold
taken by any one of our patients
said DR.. Stcne yesterday. Every
day, rain or shine, and even on the
coolest days, they are taken out on the
piazza Immediately after breakfast at
1880 o'clock, and left there until noon.
After dinner they are taken out again,
and again, after light supper at
o'clock, remaining until sundOwn.
I'VE give them very little medicine
and are relying wholly en- pure air and
plenty of it, besides nourishing food
to work a cure. We give them all the
sun possible, and when the wind is
strong place them on the sheltered
side of the piazza. About half dozen
times day we serve them hot milk
Ncurishing food, rest and nature are
working wonders for them. We do
not venture to give the treatment to
patients in whom the disease has
reached an advanced stage"
1t is expected by the physicians at
the City Hospital that if the system
continues to show favaroble results IA
cilities for an extension Of it to men
will be provided.-New York Herald.

Thinks Beers Can Yet Male
Vigorous Fight For Victory.

New York, March 1.--Iieutenant
General John M. Schofeld (retlred) in
a dispatch to the World from 81.
Augustine, Fla, says:
"The Beers appear to have commit
ted their first serious mistake in the
retreat from Kimberly by attempting
to cross Immediately in front of the
British forces to Bloemfonteln Their
line of retreat should have been by
way of Boshof, which line they should
have made sure to keep open, and
thence to Branderfort or Winsburg,
thus making certain their junctlol
with troops coming from the north
and east toward Bloemfontein.
"On both lines the Beers sheuii no.
allow their retreat to be cut off. SO
long as they are free to move they can
meet at any place and offer very stub
born and prolonged resistance to the
advance CT the superior British forces.
Having the shorter interior line CT
communication between their two COL
umns. the Beers can quickly send re-
Inducements from one to the other
as emergency may require. Thus they
may hope to make more and more
effective resistense as their two lines
of operations approach junction to-
ward johannesburg.
$50 far as can now be foreseen the
Beers, after many hard-fought battles,
should be able to make final and
prolonged struggle for victory on the
line of the Vail River" a.

till two weeks ago did he receive an
advertising proposition where man
seeks a mate. and resorts to the news
$4,000 to bestow upon the person
suitd to his taste. We returned the
same with thanks.
The sequel to this above mentioned
proposition occurred last night when
the mail brought proposition where
in a young woman with $4,000 wanted
a husband. As we are not running a
matrimonial bureau,we hastened to re-
turn that also.

LIQUID Air.

Tho commercial probabilities of
liquid air as a refrigerant lies in the
fact that 1t is 344 degrees colder than
ice. containing the same amount of
cold in space maryelously smaller.
A liquid air plant, it is said, has al
ready been started in California, and
its value to that region is thus ex-
planned: Most of the fruit shipped
without ice is loss. The cost of ic-
ing car from Los Angeles to New
York is s92, and $75 per car for freight
on the ice. In addition the ice takes
up one-quarter of the carrying capac-
ity of the car. With the completion of
the plant we can cool car at a cost
Of less than $40 for liquid air for the
trip, and no cost for the freight what
ever. Here is saving at the rate of
$l25 per car. What refers to the re-
frigerating CT fruit means also for the
refrlgerating of meats or other arti-
cles requiring the use OF ice.--Ex-

The Relief of Ladymith.

British successes now seem to be
following each other in rapid order.
General Redvers Butler, spurred by
the success of Lord Rcbtres, has at last
raised the siege of Ladysmith and lib
Grated General Whites garrison OF
more than 10000 men who have been
hemmed in by the Beers since the last
week in October. The relief of Lady
smith appears to have come none toe
soon. The garrison has been ON short
ratfons for some time and the half
pound Of meal day allowed each man
has been supplemented by the flesh of
horses and mules. The unsanitary
condition of the British camp and the
pollution of the water supply had al
so caused much sickness, and General
Butler reports that General Whites
garrison will require a little nourish
ment before taking the field.
The British campaign in Natal has
been prosecuted under the most ad-
verse conditions. The mountains and
ridges which cover the country fur
nished natural Notifications for the
Beers and enabled them to hold in
check a greatly superior force. Four
distinct movements we're planned by
General Butler for the relief OF Lady
smith and he lost in killed and wound
ed more than 1000 men and large
number of field guns before success fl
nally crowned his efforts. Had he not
stopped each time to count his losses
his object would probably have been
accomplished sooner and with no
greater casualties than were eutailed
in the aggregate. The success OF his
last movement, in fact, was due large
ay to an accident. the fighting being
Unexpectedly renewed during an arm
istlce which he had asked to enable
him TO count his losses. II is evident,
however, that the Boer army opposing
General Butler had been greatly re-
duced by the withdrawal OF troops to
resist the invasion of the Free State
by Lord Roberts. The capture of
Pieter's hill removed the last strong
hold that barred the way TO Lady
smith, and the Beers withdrew TO pre-
pare for another stand at Laing's mex,
a narrow pass in the mountains which |

Transvaal from Natal.
AS comparatively small force can |
hold Laing's mex, the Beers will |
doubtless concentrate every available |
to resist Lord Roberts ad- |
vance. The chief interest will there
fore center for some time in the west |
ern campaign. The raising of the |
siege Of Ladysmith will enable Gener- |
al Butler to detach portion Of his |
army TO aid Lord Roberts and the lat |
ter will have an enormous force at his |
when he resumes his for |

lecture as to the plans Of the Beers, |
but apparently little is known regard

defend Bloemfontein, the capital OF |
the Free State. since the surrounding |
country Is not adapted to defensive
operations. II is more likely thar they
