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
ofiicials 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.

family remedy. Brandreth Pills. which
has been in use for over a century.
They cleanse the blood and impart new
vigor to the body. One or two every

many people who had moved in from

extent crippling the bank.
THE failure cannot be attributed
to the present financial furry. but to
the general depression and loss of
business as result of the breaking
of the dam, and from the ineficiency
and carelessness of its former Off
cials. 1t is the opinion of the bank

big stories of the fruit raised thera

From him we learn that the grow

the choice grades being relegated to

London, Dec. 19.-Queen Alexan-
dra has followed the universal advice
to do 1t early" and as a result the
present week will find her annual
task of Christmas shopping complet-
} ed. Every year at about this time
the queen comes to London for the
special purpose of selecting presents
for her royal relatives ard close
friends. The expression of Christ
mas shopping" is not of course. to
be taken literally In the queens case
as she does not visit any of the great
mercantile establishments of the city
to make her selections. During the
reign of King George III, that mon
arch and his daughters would at
times go to favorite shops during the
holiday season, which would be clos
ed to other customers during their
presence. but it Is believed that
Queen Victoria only once entered
such a place during her long reign.
and the present queen has never
entered a shop since she assumed her
title. AS prince and princess of
Wales their majesties at rare inter-
walls honored favored firm with an
actual visit, but since their acces-
sion they have not done so.
The queens orders to submit sell
ections for approval were received
by a number of the royal warrant
holders several days ago and her
majesty is now engaged il looking
them over. The instructions to the
shopkeepers, while stating the class
of goods that her majesty wishes to
inspect. allow a great deal of lati-
tude. The merchant. following the

cest wares in each class and takes
them in person to the palace, where
rooms are assigned for their display.
As many tables as are needed are
used in setting forth to the best ad-

Of the depositors will be paid in full.
The failure of the bank was
caused by '.loss of business ard ex-
treme carelessness and inability of
the officers directly in charge, and
from the further fact that some of
the officers had secured excessive
loans from the bank for their own
use when the bank was not in posi-
tion to make the loans.' according
