POSTAL EMPLOYEES WIN.
House Passes Bill for Shorter Hours
For Clerks Etc

Washington, July 2j.-Postal EN-
plOyes all over the country, clerks
and carriers, have won a fight waged
for years to obtain legislation pro.
viding that the eight hours they are
required to work shall not extend
over a period OF more than ten CON
secutiye hours. Under the present
practice they work in a two-hour or
three hour shifts over a period that
sometimes stretches out to eighteen
hours OF the twenty four. The effect
OF the proposed legislation will be
TO give them more time for rest and
recreation by concentrating the per-
iod Of labor.
The house passed such a provis-
ion and the senate postoffice commit
tee indorsed it, with the change that
it should become effective March
/, next, insteam of at once.
The senate is expected to pass the
provision IN conference. The ef-
fectiye date may be made several
months earlier.
The postoffice department has
fought the provision on the ground
of expense.

President Taft will send to Congress
soon what he regards as one of the
most important messages he has writ
ten this year. He will recommend leg
islation designed to save millions Of
dollars each year, consolidate several
general bureaus and generally make
the machinery OF the government con-
form more nearly with the plans
drawn by the economy and efficiency
commission appointed in June, 1910. 1t
will be Mr.. Taft's second economy"
message during the present year, but
in the one he wrote in January he
made no recommendations as to legis.
lation. Practically every department
of the government is concerned in the
proposed reforms. Reforms indicated
as feasible in the Presidents January
message, he said, would probably save
the people more than 100000 an
nually but 1t is said that other
changes worked out since then would
largely increase the total.
A series Of rumors concerning the
Mexican situation, covering every pos
sible phase of activity on the part of
the American government, from actual
Intervention and assemblage Of great
military forces on the border, down to
the dispatch of an embassy guard to
the Mexican capital is surging through
official Washington. President Taft
believes there is no ground for inter
vention in Mexico and has not changed
that belief as the result Of the military
engagements in Mexico within the last
few days. Consequently no steps have
been taken within that time to
strengthen sthe American military
force on the border, nor to prepare
any expeditionary force for operation
in Mexican territory. The supposition
that anything of importance could be
done in that direction without some
knowledge an the part of the country
at large and q direct appeal to Con-
gress Is declared by the military au'
thorities to be absurd.

SOFT SHELL CRABS.
They Don't Remain Soft Very Long
After the Shedding.


The supply of soft crabs for market
is obtained by catching hard crabs and
keeping them until they shed their
shells.
For this purpose large rectangular
floats, made of laths and planhng,
are employed, and three or four times
every day the stock on hand is care
eully inspected, all the soft crabs being
picked out and packed without delay.
They are put into shallow boxes Of
moist seaweed, from ten to thirty i've
dozen in a box. according TO the size
of the animals.
When the packing is done carefully
the occupants may be kept alive from
sixty to seventy hours after leaving
the water.
Crabs have been shipped all the way
from the Chesapeake to Canada, arriv-
ing at their destination in good condi-
ton. In summer, of course, Ice is
used.
But where soft crabs are concerned
1t is necessary that they shall reach
the market quickly, because their new
shells harden with great rapidity
At the end of twelve hours the shells
are like parchment, and in three OF
four days the crab is as hard as ever
hence unfit for use In the form most
highly approved by eplcures.-New
York Herald.

DICKENS AS HE WORKED.
During Long Walks He Evolved the

Every Christmas and every summer

Charles Dickens at his various homes
especially at GadshIll, near Rochester.
Dickens" says Stone in his RENT
nlscences. was one of the greatest
and kindest men | ever met He was
imbued with the true Christian spirit.
What particularly struck me at Gads-
hill was the atmosphere of calm and
comfort one felt at once on entering
the house.
"At o'clock every afternoon we
used TO have twenty mile walk in
the country round. Dickens spoke but
little while walking. and this after a
time led me to discover the secret of
his amazing industry. He sat only for
u few hours at his desk, and | always
wondered how he could be so prolific
an author.
well, owing TO his taciturnity In our
country walks began to suspect that
it was then he evolved most OF the
plots OF his novels. His brain was &C
tive all the time and the task Of repro
ducing on paper the things he imagin-
ed and thought about became more or
less a mechanical process"
