POST OFFICE CLEANUP.
Scrubbers at Work in All Parts of
the Big Building.

Housecieaning Is on IN dead earnest In
the Post Office Department under the d.
rection of Chief Clerk Weed. Men were
At work yesterday on the high glass roof
which covers the inner court, scraping
from the glass a thick black scum which
seems to have been deposited by the
smoke from the department smokestacks.
Only recently the smoke inspectors COM
planned that the department was violating
the smoke law. although subsequently 1t
was said the complaint was unjust. Soft
coal is burned in the engine room of the
department. and the deposit from the
smoke has on more than one occasion
badly soiled the building.
The glass roof where the palm garden
Is located over the big working room of
the city post Office has been thoroughly
washed and polished, and all through the
department the laborers are scrubbing
and washing away the dirt. 1t Is Mr..
Weeds intention. according to his an
nouncement. to clean the building thor
oughly from top to bottom and then see
that II is kept clean.

NO USE FOR WALKING STICK
Average American, In Hustle Of Llfe'

Now that we are reminded Of 1t, we
realize that the great American peo-

walking stick. IT'S a small thing,

'-the absence of the walking stick, but

extends to travel In the case OF ma
ton which would consider itself de-
graded If 1t spent longer than a week
in complete journey through Eur

are the last to deny themselves the
luxury of an extra bit OF luggage be-
cause 1t happens to be unnecessary.

TROUT FISHING AT NIGHT

You are to know there is night as

that In the night the best trouts come

taking them is on the top of the water

rather two. which you are to fish with

some swift, there draw your bait over

II there be a good trout in the hole,
he will take 1t, especially IL the night
be dark, for then he is bold, and lies
near the top of the water, watching
the motion of any frog or water rat,
or mouse, that swims betwixt him and
the sky; these he hunts after II he

one of these dead holes. where these
great old trouts usually lie. near to

the great old trout is both subtle and

under six, who reaches the limit in the
roatter Of sensitiveness. Likewise,
she has her points In respect to dead

wood about week ago to spend a
few days with her aunt. The little
Miss played around in front of her
aunt's place for awhile. Then her
aunt let a playful young terrier into
the yard, saying to the child:
This is your little four-footed cou-
sin"
Five minutes later the aunt returned
to the front yard to call the kid into
the house, but she wasn't anywhere
TO be seen. The fox terrier was play
ing alone. There was a scrambling
hunt for the child, and all kinds of
alarm, but the little girl didn't turn
up. The aunt hustled to town. The
little girl was home with her mother.
She had walked right to the car for
town as soon as the fox terrier pup
was presented to her.

SPARE MINUTE FOR THE EYES

A well-known oculist declares moth
ing gives the eyes such complete rest
as the habit of closing them occasion
ally for a minute or too. In threat

times advised no other cure and the
patient has recovered his normal

Of lifting them from the work and
closing them while one slowly counts
twenty-five cannot be overestimated.
Another rest Is to change the point
OF vision from time to time. Look
away from what you are doing and
gaze blankly into space. DO not at
tempt to concentrate on anything,
merely look out of the window or into
a distant corner OF the room.
Do not begrudge the time for this
