among other things the record of the
largest magazine circulation in the
world in Woman's World which Geo
H Currier was printing nine years ago
in one room of an office building and
now delivers in carloads of over q
100000 copies. He now mails 100000
pounds of Woman's World in a year.
Many other publishers run the total
up to a huge figure.
To handle this matter the postoffice
department has on its Chicago pay
rolls nearly 5000 men, about half of
whom work in or travel from the main
offices, the remaining being stationed
at the branch pOstoffices, or stations
scattered through the city. The post
office, though outgrown, is not ex-
actly tiny either. for it occupies the
greater part of Is acres of floor space
in a building 300 by $40 feet and 2SO
feet high.
Letter mail dropped into the thou
sands of letter boxes of the city is
collected by carriers and delivered to
wagons or trolley mail cars. When
it reaches the office it is thrown into
one of the thirteen steel chutes in
Dearborn street.
When the contents of the car or wa
gon are delivered to the chute the re-
ceiving mouth is closed and the load
is weighed and then dropped upon a
moving belt thirty-siX inches wide
which conveys it's load of hundreds of
bags to a second belt that moves up an
incline at the rate of 900 feet per min
ute. The inclined belt throws the sacks
to a third belt moving at right angles,
and the third belt delivers the mail to
one of seven lifts, or bucket elevators,
that dump the bags onto a platform
on the second floor, sixty feet above.
A force of men here empties the
bags into one of two compartment
hopper cars that are arranged so that
they dump into any one of twenty-one
hoppers over a series of eight tables.
Scores of men at these tables ''stack"
the mail-in other words, face the
pieces, feeding them into an automatic
sacker-a moving belt device that

We show this week another house
planned by a lady. This time she lives
away up in Canada, and, as she says,
her plan is especially designed to save
steps and to tighten the labor of the
woman who does her own work. The
room arrangement should be well
studied, for it shows a thorough knoWl-
edge of the requirements of a home
where the wife must be cook. house
keeper, maid and, perhaps. in addi-
ton to these duties, look after two or
three little toddlers, whose chief aim
in life seems to be to get into mis-
chief The house is arranged from an
economical standpoint, and should be
built at a cost well under $1,000, and
well built, too, with full plaster fin
ish. stained woodwork, good plumbing
and electric wiring and fixtures. The
exterior should be all of unsurfaced
wood, stained, and the roof should be
stained moss green or frosted. One
chimney, with two flues, answers for
the fireplace in the living room and
for the kitchen range. 1t should also
be tapped for a stove in the front
bedroom, for use in case of sickness
or other emergency. The living room

sacks letters and conveys them on
edge to the canceling machines
There are thirteen of these cancel
ing machines, which the government
leases from the patentee Each ma
chine handles an average of 500 to
900 pieces per minute, canceling the
stamps and printing the postmark,
the hour and minute being changed
automatically
After the mail is Cancelled and
postmarked it falls into baskets which
are carried to the primary distribu-
ton" tables. Here the mail is sorted
by states, or by groups of states, and
packed into steel trays or cars, seven
and one-half inches wide, thirty inches
long and six inches deep. These little
cars when filled are set onto a NOV
ing belt conveyor that circles around
three sides of the second floor, car
rying the mail to cases, where it is
distributed into railway postoffice
routes, city routes, etc.
These little cars have an ingenious
arrangement by which they switch
themselves off at the proper station.
They are emptied by the clerks at the
table, who sort the mail into rail-
way postal routes and place it, tied
in packages, on a belt carrier which
takes it to the receiving station.
The pneumatic tube service is used
in part to send the mail to several
of the important railroad stations,
but because of disputes regarding
municipal franchise the service may
not be extended, though it effects
great saving in time.
This underground pneumatic tube
system is the largest of the kind in
the world. There are three double
tube trunk lines, aggregating over
eighteen miles of eightinch castiron
pipe OF these lines the stockyards
branch is the longest, the station be-
ing six and one-half miles from the
postoffice, requiring thirteen miles of
pipe. A continuous current of air,
moving thirty miles per hour, is forced
through these pipes. The cartridge or
carrier that conveys the mail through
the tubes has a capacity of 500 let
ters. Carriers are sent during the
busiest hours every thirteen seconds.

room has pretty but inexpensive buff
fet, with pass-door through to the

is nearly all windows, forming very
attractive effect. The kitchen is not
too large and has plenty of closets and
cupboards just where they will save
steps, and an excellent corner is re-
served for the range. AS will be noted,
the kitchen is in the very heart of this

THAT TIRED FEELING

That you have day in and day out,
whether you work or not, is tired
feeling that healthy people don't have.
1t is most common at this time of
year-upon the return of warm wealth
er-but it comes from down cor
dition of the system in which the blood
is impure or impoverished.
1t is burdensome and discouraging.
Hoods Sarsaparil.a and Pills posi-
lively remove it; they purify and en-
ricn the blood, tone the organs, and
build up the whole system
Thousands of people know this by
experience.

and sleep better. Accept no substi-
tutes.

destruction done, and a big bunch Of
sweet peas in his hands, no; but If
you will take me l will give them to
her myself"
At a garden gate a little further
down the road, a lady was standing,
shading her eyes from the glare of the
sun, and watching the white, dusty
roadway eagerly as if in search Of
some one.
There was no need for words-one
look was enough. Over her face the
color swept, and then receded, leav-
ing it deathly pale. Miles laid the
sweet peas aside, and stretched out
his empty arms, while Helen Temple
ton crept into them at last-her hun
gering heart satisfied.
Agatha turned away abruptly. She
understood.
1T is all owing to a bunch of sweet
peas" Cathcart said when at length
he could speak. But for that we
might still have been apart"
And Helen acquiesced joyfully. From
thenceforth sweet peas were her fav-
orite flower.
