TASKS OF MAIL CARRIERS.
POstmen in Alaska Have a Hard Time
of 1t Delivering Their Con-
signments.

People here feel mighty bad if they
fail to get their mail on time" re-
marked an ex-Alaskan, as he listened
to a New York business man storming
because he had failed to receive letter
he was expecting, reports the Tribune.
1T would do some Of them good to
live in Alaska for a time, where people
don't even get mail once in awhile.
Why, you have no idea Of the priva-
tions some of those mail carriers have
to go through recall the first delivery
Of mail ever made to Kotzebue, the
northernmost post Office. Imagine a
1,O00-nile journey over fee and snow!
Well, that is what those fellows who
went up with that mail had to cover.
No streetcars to jump on; a dog sled
drawn by, perhaps, half dozen Alas
kan dogs that had rather fight than eat;
a load Of provisions on birch sled.
deerskin sleeping sacks, snowshoes,
cooking utensils, stove and other sup
plies That was the outfit Of those mail
carriers.
THAT country doesn't run to lunch
rooms, you know, and they had to get
most of their own meals on the way.
Think of stopping to set up a little
stove, make cup Of coffee, and with it
washing down a frozen biscuit or a
dougnutl Isn't that delivering Uncle
Sans mail under difficulties?
You may depend upon it those fell
lows were glad enough when they made
their first bunkhouse. Well, a bunks
house up there corresponds to a hotel
in these parts. Not very nice looking
places, to be sure; not much better
smelling. but a real nice thing to run
across when a fellow is caught out In
one Of those Alaska storms. They make
them mostly from logs chinked up with
moss The roof is dirt; the floor is
dirt and there is dirt everywhere. A
sheet iron stove is used to furnish heat,
but forgets all about It half the time.
The hunks are built one above the other
along the wall and covered over with
grass and brush. And they charge a
man dollar for staying over night in
such place.
But more times those fellows had
to sleep whore dark overlook them, in
native huts, some of them deserted and
some Of them occupied. They had to get
their meals a. best they could, and can
tell you It Is no fun eating IN the blast Of |
an arctic wind with hood and mittens on,
your portion Of beans frozen as hard as /
so many bullets. biscuits and doughnuts
so hard they must be chopped with an
AK before eating, the fork freezing to
your lips and your coffee rapidly turn
ing into a cake Of ice.
But those fellows were clean grit,
they stuck to the trail and finally landed
that mail sacl- In Kotzebue. That is de-
livering mail in earnest, and it always
makes me tlghting mad when I hear
some grumbler kicking about the mail
service here In civilized parts"

ToMBs OF THE ANCIENT PROPHETS
There exists in parts Of Islam many
tombs Of the prophet Daniel. OF these
one of the most celebrated is at Cairo.
This fact need not astonish US. The
Mussulmans admit without hesitation
the duplication or even indefinite null
tiplication Of the bodies Of holy persons
without their veneration for each Of the
remains being diminished in the least.
It is worth noting that the nature Of
the honorary qualifications accorded
to the same saint varies in different
countries. Thus, for example, Daniel
has at Cairo the name Of Nebbi-Dan-
iel-that is they give him the title Of
prophet, as being at the same time
that which suits him best and Is the
most honorable they can confer. In
Algeria or Morocco-feudal countries
the title they give to scints Is sidi,
which signifies lord, which is also the
title there OF military and political
chiefs. In central Asia they give to
those canonized persons whom they
respect most, as to the prophet Dan
lei, the title Of khodja, which means In
Arabic writer or lettered.

Another Tradition Gone.

There is a popular belief that the
Negro knows how to handle mule
better than a white man." said an OBJ
servant man, from a sugar plantation,
where some young mules are being
trained for the work that they will
have to do during the grinding season,
and T there observed that II tie over
seer had not superintended the train
ing some Of the mules would have been
crippled. Now, plantation Is the
best place to judge Negros abilities
in this respect, for there they handle
mules more than do any other class OF
Negroes. If a mule balks while a Ne
gro is handling him the mule will re-
ceive a good beating, and this makes
matters worse, for the more one beats
a mule the worse he generally gets.
The animal becomes stoical, and 1t
takes something more than blows to
stir him. Still, the Negro does not
think of anything but this sort of pun
ishment, provided he alone has charge
of the mule. Some time ago l came
across a baking mule and an infuria-
ted Negro. The Negro. had dismount-
ed-for he had been riding the mule
and with a stout whip handle was
pounding the mule for all that his
strength enabled him. If pebble or a
small piece Of rock is dropped into q
mules ear the animal will run al
breakneck speed. thought OF this'
and told the Negro to get into the sad
die.
HE won't move, boss said the Ne
gro, land he's been standing here all
mawnin' like he's dade.'"

the Negro that If he would get on the
mule everything would go on we'll.

NO LEAP YEAR IN SEVEN YEARS.
Unusual Event Will Not Occur Again
For 200 Years.

It Is very unusual but still 1t Is q
fact that the completion Of the last
month Of February marks the first time
In history for 100 years when seven
successive Februarys of only % days
have occurred, and it will be 200 years
longer, or the year 200.
The unusual occurrence is due to the
workings Of the rule Of astronomers
for calculating leap years. The rule
by which the present or Gregorian cal
endar is calculated is as follows:
Every year divisable by four shall
be leap year except the centuries and
these shall be leap years If they are
divisable by 400. According to this
rule the year 1900 was not leap year,
and therefore the present year, 1908, Is
the seventh year since leap year oc-
Cured. The year 1000 will be a leap
year because 1t is divisable by 400, SO
that the next time when seven COM
mon years will fall on seven successive
years will be from the year 2oss to 21o3,
the year 2100 not being a leap year.
The above rule was instituted by Pope
Gregory in an effort to keep the solar
and calendar years together.
The solar or sun year Is 365 days,
hours, 40 minutes and Al seconds long,
so that every four years the solar year
gets nearly but not quite "a hours
ahead Of the common year and accord
ingly one day Is added to February
every four years to take up the dis
crepancy. There Is, however, still
slight difference, the calendar gaining
on the solar year by about one day In
every 400 years 80 that on every CEN
tury year divisable by 400, the extra
day Is not added.
