THE Department will, make ar
rangements to supply your Office with
city delivery furniture. and will advise
you in separate communication of the
action taken.
"In laying out the carriers routes
and arranging their schedules and in
locating the letter boxes you should
follow the instructions given you by
the agent of the Department who
made arrangements for the establish
ment of the service. Unless specifi-
cally authorized to do so by this Office,
you should not extend the service or
change the number of daily deliveries
and collections. If the carriers are at
first unable to cover their allotted ter
ritory without exceeding forty-eight
hours actual service during the six
working days of the week, you should
rearrange their routes so as to reduce
the average daily time to eight hours,
discontinuing the service in the most
sparsely settled territory. Should you
find it practicable afterward to restore
the service to such territory while
keeping your carriers on a forty eight
hour, schedule, you are authorized to do
so,f
"The carriers should not deliver
mail at the side or rear doors of resi-
dences, to separate suites or rooms in
apartment houses, or above the second
floor of Office buildings not provided
with elevators.
"It is suggested that you urge or
your patrons the desirability of provid.
ing private boxes or drops for the re-
ceipt of mail. The use of such re.
ceptacles is advantageous to the publ,
as we'll as the Department, facilitating
speedy delivery"

DAIRYlNG IN WASHINGTON.

The report of the federal statistical
department shows that there are 1874. =
600 milk cows in the state of Washing
ton. the average value being $38 a
head, also 389 other cattle, averaged
at $18 head, the aggregate value be-
ing placed at $7,OO2, 900. The report
also shows that there are 21. 1874. 900
mich cows in the United States, hav-
ing an average value of $50. 81. or a
total value of $3.50, O57, 900; and 5O,-
O73, 900 other cattle averaging SIG. 80.
the aggregate value being $S45. 998, 900.
One hundred and eighty-two thous-
and hogs are reported. the total valua-
tion amounting to 81, ,410, 900. Most
of the hogs for Washington are bought
in Nebraska and Iowa.
Dairymen say there is need for
100, 900 additional milch cows in east
ern Washington alone and that the pro-
ducts of again as many more would be
disposed of to advantage in the Pacific
states. To emphasize this they point
to the fact that SIS, 200, 600 worth of
butter and dairy products was imported
into the Spokane country, called the
Inland Empire of the Pacific North
west. in 1870, and they say, there is
every reason to believe that the middle
western states will send a similar
amount this year. The farmers in
this part of the country are buying a
better grade of cattle; in fact, experts
declare that the best on the continent
are to be found here, but there are moi
enough of them, to supply the demand,
which is growing to enormous pro-
portions.

here some time ago making an exami-
nation of the city and laying out the
routes, divided the city into two deliv-
cry districts, and the department au-
thorized the local postmaster to start
the service upon those lines, but later
to readjust the lines if the service re-
quires.
The establishment of six mail boxes
in various parts of the city is also au-
thorized, the approximate points for
their establishment having been select

Mamma the Baby.

The choice of name for the baby
seems to he regarded as most I'M
portant thing even among people whom
we are apt to regard as unciyilized.
And, curiously enough, these very folk
contrive to avoid the arguments that
SO often ensue when father and moth
er disagree over whether the little
stranger shall be called Jack or Mar
maduke. Priscilla or Jane.
The Mohammedan father and moth
err each write their choice of a name
on slip of paper and place both In
the Koran. Whichever slip IS drawn
first is tho name given to the child.
A pretty Egyptian custom is to light
three candles, naming each after n
god or some exalted parsonage. The
child Is called after the candle which
burns longest
Hindoo mothers name their children.
paterfamilias not having word TO say
In the matter. The naming ceremony
usually takes place when the baby Is
about twelve days old. and a flower
name is usually chosen.
Chinese girls are simply numbered
one, two or three until they reach
years of discretion, when they are al
lowed to choose a name for them
selves. The boys, however, are given

appellation they shall rejoice In for the
rest Of their lives.
