Postoffice Holiday y Business

One of the busiest institutions in
town during the past week has been
the postoffice. where the transactions
have been beyond all precedent, both
in the amount of money received and
in the number of pieces of mail
handled. To meet the exigencies of
the occasion has taxed the capacity of
the clerical force. and its members
have worked like beavers in order to
care for the outgoing and Distribute
the incoming mail.
Last Monday was a recordbreaker
in the history of the Canon City
postoffice in the number of registered
packages taken in and in the revenue
from the sale of stamps, the latter
amounting to one hundred and forty
dollars, of which IL dollars We're
for the ten cent denomination. The
Christmas packages alone ON Monday
filed seven large mail sacks and were
addressed to all parts of the United
States. On Tuesday and yesterday
the outgoing packages were somewhat
less numerous than on Monday, al
though ten sacks of about ninety
pounds each were forwarded from the
local Office during the two davs.
While one hundred and forty dollars
would not be very much in some lines
of business where the individual pur-
chases are large, it is vastly different
in the postoffice. where the income
is chiefly derived from the sale of one
and two cent stamps. Both in NUN
Der of Christmas packages received
and forwarded, the Canon City Office
has done a bigger business this yea,
than ever before. 1t is estimated
that the receipts of the local postoffics
from the sale of postage stamps fol-
the calendar year. 1902. will be al
least q. 900 greater than for the pre-
vious twelve months.

BEAUTY OF PERSIAN CATS.
Points for Which These Fashionable
Pets Are Bred.

The vogue of the Persian cat lies in its
exquisite beauty. 1t is a native of Per

pet, ana whence 1t is still brought over
land by caravan for expectation. A ma
tive Persian can always be told bv its
slit nostrils; an operation performed to
aid it's breathing in crossing the noun
tain ranges. The monks of famous old
Chartreuse. perched among its Afpine
heights bred the Persian for profit
during the middle ages, but in later
days women of wealth and fashion in
England have paid it more attention
than any one else.
The Persian is bred for the following
points; Small, round head. short nose,
short legs, small ears, large eyes and
fine long haired coat In addition. tbe
coloring of both eyes and coat is verv
sharply defined. A smoke must have
dark face and legs. silver frin and ear

holds for the blacks. The yellows may
