The responsibility and value of their work
is too little appreciated, because it is
almost wholly unseen, and because the
details of modera mail methods are little
understood. People marvel at the speed
and accuracy of the service, or else they
accept it as matter of course. without
wonder or surprise. And that is all. They
little understand the wearying industry,

But to the clements of an equally labO-
rious and exacting duty the Railway Mail
Clerk adds the element of hourly peril
that would seem sufficient to deter any
but the boldest and bravest of men from
assuming its dreadful responsibilities.
PEACE HAS HER VICTORIES AND VICTIMS.
1t is fact too little needed that all our
fast mail trains would be ineffective but
for the tireless skilful labor, the daring,
the sacrifice of the heroic men who man
the trains and make their mission fruitful
to the world.
When the Umpire Express or the Royal
Purple Limited goes laundering through
the land, drawn by mastOdon mountain
climber, shaking the earth with its ma es-
tic tread and clOuding the skies with the
smoke of its quenchless fires, we rejoice
in the vision of typical exemplar of
modern progress. We do not see the worn
aud patient workers Gagged in the mail
cars. swaying and shaking, trembling and
lurching as they handle with nimble fin
gers, following behests of an unerrins
brain. the countless thousands of missives
which carry the daily messages Of COM
mcrce or friendship for many States. We
do not know their mental strain or physi-
cal WEAKNESS; we only know that their
work is done at all and done with incredi-
BILE accuracy. as we participate in its bene-
fits. And. fortunately, we do not see the

Peace hath her victories as well as
war-likewise her victims, and these are
of them. AS we revel in the felicities of
the best postal system on earth, let us
bear in mind that it is not achieved with
ont risks and losses and sacrifices which
bring suffering to many individuals and

1t is only eight stories tall, the building

1t is estimated that the largest sky

persons daily under its roof. of these
about LOO are tenants and the rest are
employed in their offices. But the Jersey
City building has 5000 tenants. About
80 per cent. of them are corporations, and
if principals and employees We're all as
sembied, they would form an army of mag
nifcent dimensions.
But they are legal tenants merely, and
only just so often as the law requires do
their directors visit the building to hold
n stated meeting and thereby preserve
their charters. a representative of each
company is on hand daily, however.
Most of the other tenants are lawyers.

His salary? Well, it's all in the days

but not richer. The annual fees are Lot
large, however. and $50 year. or even
more. is not a large sum to pay when it
is absolutely necessary to have in New

will keep Jersey lawyer from actual
stat cation, and there is always hope that

Tei; meetings day. on an average, are
held in this building by the directors OF
the various corporations. Sometimes real
business is transacted at these meetings,
too. but usually the directors come from
Manhattan on the same boat remain i'll the

hurry back again to the working offices,
