A Busy Office.


When the third assistant postmaster
general makes his annual report to his
chief, the introduction reads like the
list of titles Of an Oriental potentate,
for it summarizes the subjects with
which that office has to do Here are
Just few Of them: The classification
Of domestic mail-matter, including the
determination of the admissibility of
publications to the second-class rates,
the hearing of cases involving the
withdrawal Of those rates, use of pen
atty envelopes, and the ranking priv
ilege, questions involving limit Of
weight, the financial system-and this
in itself is an enormous business-the
supervision of the manufacture of
stamps, stamp-books, stamped envel-
opes, newspaper wrappers and postal
cards, money-order and registry sys-
TEN. This year the deficit of the de-
partment Is the largest yet-nearly
$17,0o0,000. The most of the increase
over last year is due to the action of
congress in raising the salaries of post
masters and other employees of the de-
partment and the rest to the extension
Of postal facilities. The constant study
to bring the department into closer
touch with the people, remarks the
Youths Companion, is shown in nu-
merous little things mentioned in the
report, for example, new postal cards,
with space for message on the address
side; changes in stamped envelopes
which will permit choice Of paper by
the purchaser, and the printing Of adj
'vertising matter upon them; permits
sion to perforate postage stamps for
purposes Of Identification This has
hitherto been withheld, but is granted
now partly because so many office boys
steal stamps-a curious commentary
on the class Of boys who are entering
business.

A supreme court Judge in Brooklyn
set aside will under unusual circum-
stances. The testator had directed
his property to be invested and the In.
come devoted to the care of his burial
lot. The Judge ordered the estate to
be distributed among his immediate
heirs on the ground that so purely a
selfish disposition of property was too
much opposed to public policy and
duty to humanity to permit. The needs
Of the living, he said, were paramount
to the claims of the dead. This sounds
like the sound plain sense on which
law Is supposed to be based, remarks
the Boston Herald. The man who still
monopolizes his property even after
death should have such post norton
power OF absorption taken by the law.

e Norwegian ski-riding, or ski-jumping
as 1t is popularity termed in America,
is a manly and healthful sport which,
in the northwest at least, has come to
stay. The ski in this country are usu-
ally made Of birch, ash, or hickory, as
pine or soft wood ski prove very ex-
pensive articles; they break easily and
may be the cause of serious accidents.
Birch makes a very good ski, possibly
the best for ladies. as it Is lighter than
the wood used by the professional
rider, namely, hickory. The white ash
is used mostly by boys, as it is more
durable than birch and less expensive
than hickory. The jumping ski, says
Recreation, should be as long as the
height Of the man plus the distance he
can reach with extended arms over
head,usually ia to S11 feet. The ski
for distance travelling are usually
longer. They weigh from seven to
eight pounds each, a heavier ski being
rather better for jumping.
