PoSToFFICE SECRETS.

They Are Revealed at Denver ia
Effort 10 Improve Conditions.
The use Of private letter boxes of
the Denver post ONCE by young girls
and ~omen has been restricted by
the raising OF rents from 81 to 81 in
each case. Most of the women have
used these boxes to ply their trades
along lines that require secrecy. Scores
Of schoolgirls have been using them
to conduct clandestine correspond
ence, which in many cases has led to
their downfall. 1t was learned that
one girl would rent box and thea
permit number of schoolgirls of her
own age to have mail addressed there
under fictitious names. Business men
and professional men tried in vain to
rent boxes, but because they had been
engaged by women or girls could not
engage them. Girls have been known
to come to the offices with notes pre-
tending to be signed by their mothers,
engaging boxes for them, while as a
matter of fact it was part of a plot
Matched by schoolgirls of impression
able age All sorts of methods were
revised to get rid Of them, and all
having proven failures, the raise in
the rents OF the boxes was hit upon.
The revised list starting out ON the
new year shows that many of those
who had rented boxes for several years
past were missing from the rolls. Fed
eral officers believe that it was fright
In a good many cases, the renters fear
ing a general movement against them,
the first step being the raise in rents.

are dormant, their roots packed tight
in frozen earth It is harder digging,
but you get better ball of roots.
Certain towering trees among our

American Women,

A favorits fling of the French at the
English has always been that the lat
ter are nation OF shopkeepers. An
Englishw oman has called Americans
"a nation of housekeepers." During
a visit to this country she was struck
by the fact that so many American
women of means and refinement
either do their own work, or active
ly superintend the domestic arrange
ments. taking pride in this duty.
Our friend was surprised to learn
that AN American woman will spend
the forenoon In cooking or busting or
cleaning. then dress herself like a
duchess and sally forth to the meeting
Of a fashionable club where she is to
read a learned paper, like as not, or
else call a carriage and make round
of social calls. And her standing does
not seem to be impaired in the least
by the fact that during part OF the
day she has done the work of mental
nor has 1t affected her own personal
attractiveness."
No other woman has done so much
as the American to emphazise the dig
nifty of labOr,-Housekeepe

as shown in the illustration. Around
the top of the drum is wound Hey-
ible cord. The eggs are placed in
the receptacle and the cord pulled to
it's full length, thus causing the blades
to revolve rapidly in the mixture. The
momentum thus gained causes the cord
to rewind about the drum, and when
it is again drawn out the blades re-
volve in the opposite direction and the
cord winds up once more. This double

surprising, considering the hard fate

Speaking of the severe floods in
France. Germany and Switzerland"
said the amateur scientist, II can tell
you the reason for their occurrence.
1t Is the succession of terrible earth
quake shocks, beginning several years
ago with Mont Pelee in the West In
dies, and including the destructive
Quakes of San Francisco and Italy.
These explosions throw up clouds Of
dust which reach into the upper stra-
tum OF the atmosphere. the fine par
tieles remaining up for years. These
particles cause congelation of moisture
and induce heavy rains, which are
liable to fall upon any portion of the
earths surface" This theory Is per-
haps as good as another. 1t is certain
that rains and SHOWS have fallen in
unusually liberal quantities in many
parts OF the world In the past Hve Or
six years. Severe floods have occurred
in widely separated localities and at
widely varying intervals. It will be
found that in our own country the
run unusually full. The stage of water
has averaged higher. 1t Will be re-
membered that some ten years ago
drouth conditions were prevalent and
widespread. The change is on the
whole beneficial, although considerable
damage has been done by floods But
the beneticent effect of abundance Of
moisture on crops has more than com
pensated. Perhaps this Is an answer to
the question, Why are earthquakes?
The ways of nature are mysterious and
past finding out. When conditions re-
cede from the normal, as in the case
Of 1ong-c0ntinued drouth, she has to do
something violent to restore the equili
brium. And in the perturbations sor1lt-
body is bound to get hurt The same
