POSTAL ARMY THE GREATEST
American Mail Service Is Carried On
by 267502 Persons.

WASHINGTON. Feb. THE postal
service Of the United States employs
more persons than that of any other
government in the world. The chief
clerk of the postoffice department has
prepared a list showing that 267,502
persons are under orders of the post
master general. The army and navy
combined does not aggregate more
than half Of this number.
The postal employees are divided as
follows: Postmasters, 69,4S6; rural
freedelivery carriers, 30,001; city let
ter carriers, 1854 star routes and
railway mail service, 42,731, Of which
1924 are in the railway mail service;
clerks, second-class offices, 24.743:
assistant postmasters in first and Sec
ond class postoffices, 1884; estimated
number of clerks in third and fourth
class offices, $4,000; estimated num-
Der of clerks paid by postmasters, g.
600. These clerks are paid from al
lowances and out of the salaries Of the
postmasters themselves.
In the postoffice department there
are 1856 clerks and other employees
and 400 inspectors. The figures of
Chief Clerk Chance do not include
some 10000 substitute rural free de-
livery carriers and about 5000 sub
city letter carriers. which would swell
the figures to 302,S02 employees.
In point of numbers OF postal en-
ployes, Germany ranks next to the
United States, then Great Britain and
France. It is estimated that the postal
employees draw about $16,000.o0o a
year III salaries.

DRAWBACK TO THE ENJOYMENT.
Why "Artemus Ward' Preferred Not
to Lecture in Churches.


In the early sixties of the last cen
tury "Artemus Ward" delivered one OF
his humorous lectures in the church at
Bradford, n. H. There was a good
sized audience AMI he exerted all his
powers TO entertain them, but neither
the humor of diction nor his quaint
manner of delivery brought forth more
than siclly smile, where he was used
to peals of laughter and round upon
round of applause.
At the close of the lecture he sat
down. utterly exhausted. First among
those who came forward to speak with
him was an old fellow, who shook him
heartily by the hand ard said:
THAT was fine discourse of yours,
Mr.. Browne, and in two or three places
| almost forgot | was in the meeting
house and cer'tinly thought | should
snicker."
After this incident "Artemus Ward"
would not lecture in church Wien
other arrangements could possibly be
made.

TALKING TO HOUSEHOLD PETS
Practice Gives Pleasure and Advances
UNDERSTANDING.

Animals, like people, are very apt
to be lonely, especially when there
is but one pet in the house. You have
noticed how delighted a dog is when
spoken to, and all pets, even rabbits,
mice and goldfish, soon learn to re.
spond when spoken to by their own.

not only gives it pleasure, but teaches
it to understand. and sometimes dogs
and cats learn to understand nearly
everything said to them, and so be,

able to their owners.
Pets that are kept continually out
OF doors or under restraint being
treated like machines, which must be
fed, exercised and bathed at certain
times, grow dull and uninteresting,
to the wonderment of their owners
Even goldfish will learn to rise to the
surface of the aquarium when spoken
to by the person who usually cares
for and feeds them.

GOOD INFLUENCE ON WORKERS.
Makers Of Dainty Lace Grow to Ap-
preciate the Beautiful.

Cushioned lace influences dainty
workers. Speaking of Buckingham

hand this interesting item, that the
influence of lace making and its ira
ditions arr noticeable in the quiet vii
lagos of rinslow and Nash, for there
perfect cleanliness reisns. The hand
of the Winslow cottage woman would,
it is said, be the delight of the mani
curist. Artistic discernment too, is
shown by the pride in bobbins that
lover who is now a grandfather cared
for his lass so many years ago. These
bobbins cannot be bought, nor can
the curious old furniture that is seen
in the humble village homes. For
these village folk have been bred to
see the beauty of form and to note
its growth in the lovely weavings of
the bobbns. The making Of lace
brings its own esthetic education.-

GOOD WILL AND GOOD HOPE
Lesson of Life That Most Impressed
the Late Senator Hoar.


In his autobiography that good old
man, Senator Hoar, who went to his
rest few months ago, said:
"The lesson which have learned
in life, which is impressed on me
daily, and more deeply as l grow old,
is the lesson of Good viii and Good
Hope. / believe that to-day is better
than yesterday, and that tomorrow
will be better than today. believe
that, in spite of so many errors and
wrongs, and even crimes, my country
men, of all classes, desire what is
good and not what is evil"
These are golden words and they
ought to be preserved by every man
and woman who wants to keep on the
bright side of life and to get the most
out of the work.
Pessimism is a drain on vitality. 1t

Considering that there are some
thing like $1,000 editors in the

the prison at the close of the fiscal

1,123. OF this number two are

TOO BIG TO IGNORE.

Results are the outcome OF SUCH
work as the American Mining
Congress is now doing. Moreover,
the results will be of individual
and collective Importance to min
ing men in all parts of the coun-
try.
When the Legislators of the ma
ton next meet in Washington,
there will not be one among them
who has not heard the arguments
for a federal department of mines,
and a large number of them will
support measure to establish
such a department. In the legis-
latures of the different states in
coming sessions, information will
be available regarding the kind of
laws that are most effective in
checking promotion frauds. The
state legislatures also will know
the kind of drainage district law
wanted by mining men. 1t will
be possible, therefore, to secure a
desirable uniformity in this legis-
lation. This and much other
work of a similar character. the
American Mining Congress now
has well in hand.
On the new basis, the American
Mining Congress has occupied an
assured position among the indus
trial institutions of the nation. A
membership in the congress is an
investment that no mining man
can afford to overlook.
Consequently, the recent action
of the Black Hills Mining Mems
Association seems hasty and ill
advised. Because none of the
members of the association was
appointed on the committees, of
the congress, it was decided at the
annual meeting of the association
t. take no part in the El Paso ses'
sions. To reproduce the language
used, the association resolved to
IGNORE the American Mining
Congress"
While this action is regretted
from both points of view, the
Black Hills Association has the
more to lose. The American Min
ing Congress is too big to be ig-
nored. 1t has a great work to do,
and it will do it well whether or
not it receives the cooperation of
the Black Hills people. The lat
ter need the congress as mining
men in general need it. The ac-
ton of the association should by
all means be reconsidered, and
hearty support accorded the con-
gress.-Mining Record.
