the use of impure adulterated toilet
soaps, that the proprietors Of

Expert Ocean Mail sorters.

One of the most interesting perform.
ances of modern times is the handling
of the mails in great ocean steam.
ships. Some of the men become SO
expert at sorting that they work al
most automatically, many of them be-
ing able to put their finger on any
particular town marked on the rack
blindfolded. On an ordinary western
trip they carry on an average about
100000 letters and some 10000 regis
tered packets. The latter have all to
be written up in detail in their books
during the voyage. and this takes
more time than the actual sorting. The
officials do not always manage to fin
ish the work by the time they reach
port, and when such is the case they
accompany what is left to the general
post office and complete the job there
