Whx arace was omitted.

A tiny girl of seven gave dinner
party the other day, for which twelve
covers were laid, and that number of
small maidens sat down to dine. 1t
was a real little girls dinner, and the
little hostess herself presided, sitting
at the head of the table. She had been
very anxious, In looking forward to

done.

grace?'

very informal dinner. and think you
need not do that"
That meant one ceremony the less
to be gone through and was a relief.
But the little lady was anxious to have
all her guests understand 1t. So, az
they gathered about the table. she ex-
planned:

est in their claims, for their calcula-
tons showed the annual honey crop
If the country to be worth $4,000, 900,
whereas the officials of the United
States Department of Agriculture, who
have made an especial study Of the
subject, place the valuation at fully
double that figure.
This record of the great wealth
represented in a comparatively obscure
food product is all the more remark
able when it is remembered that the
apiarian industry in the United States
Is practically a development of the
last forty years, although isolated indi-
viduals were engaged in that work
long prior to that time. In the score
of years from 1869 to 1889 the Amer
lean production of honey was quadru
pied, increasing from less than 10000
900 pounds annually to nearly 64000,-
900 pounds annually; and the closing
decade of the century witnessed /;
growth proportionately greater, since
the estimated output of the closing
year of the cycle, as given above, is
very much more than double that re-
corded ten years ago. The bee keep
ing industry, however, far from having
reached the acme of possible develop
ment, would appear to be only just
entering upon an era of even more re-
markable growth.

-Four Images of the Moon.

Some night when the moon Is at Its
full and the air is free from haze go
outdoors with a hand mirror and hold
it so that the moons image will fall
on it. Make the experiment, prefer
ably, when the moon is well up in the
heavens.
Instead Of seeing one image, as you
will expect, you will see four. One of
these images will be very bright, but
the other three will be dull, like unbur-
nished silver. They will be in a
straight line, one of the dull images
on one side of the bright image and
two on the other side of it. Turn the
mirror slowly around and the images
will appear to reyolve around COM
mon centre.
The explanation IF this queer little
phenomenon may be found in the fact
that there are two surfaces in mir
TOR, one in front and the other in the
back, where the quicksilver is.
The brightest of the images is from
the moon itself; the others are what
are known as secondary images, re-
fiected from the front to the back of
the mirror, and thence to the eye.
A similar experiment may be made
with the planets Venus, Jupiter and
Mars. or with any of the first magni-
tude stars, such as Sirius, Capella,
Arcturus, Vega and Antares.
The planets and the stars, however,
make only three images, the number of
images depending on the breadth of
the object A perfectly clear night is
essential.

four Smithvilles, four Spartas and five
Jeffersons and SO on. In some in
stances there is a postoffice Of the
same name in each of the seven States.
AS one may imagine, this only tends
to confuse the average mind.
Periodically the clerks are examined
at railway mail headquarters. Packs
of cards, each card bearing the name
Of postofice, are furnished a candi-
date for examination. He takes a DO
sition in front of a case of pigeon
holes labeled with the names Of differ
ent railway postoff1ces throughout the
country. He throws" the cards, dis
tributing them to proper routes, just
as he would packages in a postal
car. After he finishes the examiner
goes over the cards and charges up the
errors the clerk has made and gives
him his percentage Of correct distribu-
ton. The clerk is also examined on
general and Standpoint" or station
schemes at different times.
1t is asserted at railway mail serv-
ice headquarters that there are clerks
who have reached the capacity of their
minds in the matter of remembering
names. They now remember so many
that 1t would be absolutely impossible
to learn another State or part of a
State. 1t would seem that of the mill
ions of cells in their brain machinery
none are left to fill, all having been
taken up in the prosecution of the ex-
acting duties imposed by their occu-
pation.-Chicago Record Herald.

ILLIONS of people are COM
MI planning nowadays of being
" taxed financially, but an
army of men in the employ
Of Uncle Sam are burdened with a
mental practice unheard of, as re-
CARDS extent, in any other country Of
the world.
Things that railway postal clerk
must remember have increased in such
volume that one would think every cell
Of his brain would be filled with the
name Of a postofice or railway connec-
ton, and the wonder is that the clerks
mind does not falter under the press
ure. Despite these facts cases of in
sanity among this class of public serv-
ants are rare.
One Chicago postal clerk maintained
Tor several years record of 21,000
cards (which take the place of letters
In examinations) with an average per
cent. of correct distribution of frac.
ton over ninety-nine per cent. He

rect location Of each Office in its State.
A clerk on the New York and Chi
eago Railway postoffice must know the
correct location of every postofice in
group Of States made up of Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Minnesota,
South Dakota and Nebraska. In these
seven States there are 12,317 post
offices. Not only is the clerk required
to be "up" on the general scheme,
which means the correct location of
the postoffices in each State, but he
must know how to reach the whole
$4,000 postofices from one or more
stations.
A clerk running between Chicago
and Minneapolis underwent no fewer
than seventy-eighth examinations in
fifteen years, learning 1896 offices in
fifteen different sections of the United
States. In some of these examina-
tons he was required to make a Chi
cago city distribution. which means
that while running over the country at
the rate of mile a minute he must
distribute letters to the carriers of the
Chicago delivery. He must keep not
only where every public building and
leading mercantile house is located,
but also how to divide the numbers on
particular street, so that he can stie
OUT his letters to the correct carrier,
according to the route of the latter.
This same clerk made thirteen examin-
atoms in ten months, with an average
correct distribution of 99.S8 per cent.
In twenty examinations he came out
of nine Of them with clear 100 per
cent. each.
