IN THE MIRROR.

a very pretty experiment may be
made with hand mirror on any
night when the full moon is we'll Nd
in the sky Hold the the mirror so
that the moons image will be re-
hected in it, and you will be sur
prised perhaps to see four images
Of II instead OF one. One of these
images will be very bright. The
other three will be rather dull. like
unburnished silver. They will be
in 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 around slowly.
still holding its face to the moon,
and the images will appear to re-
yolve around a common center.
The explanation Of this little ex-
pertinent lies in the fact that there
arc two surfaces in mirror, one
in front and the other al the back.
where the quicksilver Is. The
brightest Of the reflected images is
from the object itself. The others
are what is known as secondary i'm
ages, reflected from the front TO the
back, of the mirror and thence to
the eye. This experiment never
fails to excite the wonder OF those
who see il made.

The dominant idea as to shape is
the princesse effect. While all
gowns are not, by any means, made
en- princesse, yet tailors and dress
makers nearly always endeavor to
give the princesse outline when max
ing up suits, skirts and coats, and
for very obvious reasons, requests
their customers to have their gar.

the X. and G.. corset. The beauti.
ful American product is as popular
in Paris, Berlin, London, Vienna

1t has the characteristics and quail

have previously been pledged to
vote against il. That has been the
case with the rule on the statehood
bill, and there is little prospect that
the bull itself will meet with any
other fate. II it does, it will mere
ly prove that the insurgents were
wiser in party maneouvers than they
have generally been given credit for
being and that they concealed their
real strength till the test came.
The motive of the movement for
the admission of Arizona and New
Mexico as one state is plain enough,
but it may be worth while to point
it out for the benefit OF those who
have had no personal interest in
following the fight. II is known
that in national election both Ari.
zona and New Mexico probably, al
most certainly will 60 Democratic.
If they are admitted to the Union
as one state, they will have but two
senator's, thus swelling the Demo-
cratic faction of the Senate by Just
that much. But il the question of
statehood is allowed to go over till
there is Democratic administra-
ton, then the two territories will
undoubtedly be admitted as two
states, and there will be four Dem
ocratic senators to deal with instead
Of two. Thus the statehood bill has
b.en made a direct party measure.

THE POSTOF FICE DEPARTMENT
And Its Work During the Past Year

The new year probably finds the
postal service in better condition,
viewed from every standpoint, than
at any time in its history. True
there Is large defciency-larger
than at any time in the past, but it
Is to be hoped that there is also a
large increase in efficiency.
A glance at the official reports
for the past year would indicate
that every effort is being made TO
weed out the unnecessary and the
inefficient. The work of readjust-
ment began in the department itself
and has extended throughout the
entire service, reaching every post.
ofti &C and station IN the country.
The division of inspection has
been transferred from the fourth
assistant postmaster general to the
Office of the postmaster general, and
is under his personal supervision.
Thus through the able and efficient
corps of inspectors the head Of the
service can keep in touch with its
actual working in the field. The in
spectors are the picked men Of the
service, in whom the department
can place implicit confidence.
The total revenue from all sources
for the year just ended was SIsz,
$40, $3.50. The total expenditures
for the same period was SI67,soo,
1902 The deficit for this period
was SI45725S4I3. This large
deficit was not due, however to ex-
travagance in the service, but TO its
rapid extension and improvement.
Rural free delivery is one Of the
largest items OF expense. 1t has in
creased from SIo, 900 a few years
ago to the sum of $40, 900, 900 for
the pas, year. Transportation OF
the mails over the railroads cost
$50, ooo, 900. City free delivery
cost Sac, 900, 600. Compensation to
employees in .he various postofices
over the country amounted to over
s45, 900, 900, and so on down the
list.
The total amount of money orders
issued during the past year was
1890, ,oo8433,8 80; an increase over
the proceeding year of more than
SIS, ,ooo,o 900. The total amour OF
orders paid was s3o6,sI7,1o7,4z;
an increase over the preceding year
Of more than SI8, 900, 900. The
total amount OF money order busi.
ness transacted during the past year,
including international business, was
over 1850, 600, 900. OF this great
volume Of business conducted by
such large number of employees
only the smallest factional part was

If only we women could learn that ac- cumulations of letters are generally a great mistake. we would save ourselves time and pains in the end. When ordi- nary letters have been answered, they should be consigned in fragments to the waste basket and go from there tc the furnace. But a letter has In it SO much that is vital. 1t so speaks of som dear one, so breathes the perfume ol love, that one hesitates to destroy it. and instead packs it into drawer or pigeon-hole and leaves it for future day
 There are. of course. letters that should never ne destroyed. They are sent to one in the crucial hour of grief or the radiant hour of joy. and they should be kept among our treasures. These letters are few and far between.
 For a certain length of time business papers should be preserved. Anything In the nature of a contract should be filed with care and placed in some des- ignated receptacle. Bills and receipts are not to be left to chance. Women should cultivate the business sense. and care for important papers, as d man cares for them in his office. And as the merchant takes stock at stated annual period, so should the gentlewo- man at home go over her assets ana obligations once year and nave clearing up day that will set troubled conscience at rest.
 The top drawer is another opportuni- 1 ty for painstaking. What impish spir- it gets into a top drawer that 1t de- fes the most punctilions and outrages the most fastidious, by its aspect or wild and incohereut untidiness? Dedi cated to the dainty and delicate efflor essence of the toilette, to faces and collars and belts and kerchiefs. to
 oTy- a and never locked up in safe. to per fumed sachets and cobwebby ehiffons it fairly riots in confusion. AS every one knows. 1t ought to be immaculate as snow, and precise as Quaker spin ster.
 But is 1t? Are gloves always pulled smoothly to their length, and decor ously laid away in boxes? Are hand kerchiefs always arranged in nea' l ruches and frills where they shorlt be? l share the high ideals of th' neatest of my sex, and admire the mn | est theories, but when it is question of the top drawer. I am fain to believe in q wicked fairy who losses anu tum' bles ones things at her own swee' will in the dead of the night or in the silence of monday.
 The true value of the clearing uI 
 and mislaid articles which have baf1eC the searcher's endeavors for months Things that we prized have vanished from our sight They are not to o' found We do our very best. but the! are nowhere in evidence Perhaps w give them up in despair and buy some thing else to serve their purpose. l., and behold when we clear up, forti they spring, smiling into our amazed faces. as if they were things animat } and sentient Who has not had thl experience?
