 In the Washington City post office at Washington, D. C., there is a period of work which the average clerk dis likes. It is called the graveyard shift and is that part of the "A hours from the early evening to the wee sma' hours" In line with his policy of 'humanizing the service" and fla cilitating the dispatch of the mails, our new postmaster general inaugura- ted through the postmaster at Wash ington, mail early campaign with the surprising result that "A clerks were transferred to day work. Con ditions are different here, and there Is no graveyard shift" but the mail early idea is universally helpful. Man ufacturers can secure much better dispatch of mail Gin case some of it is ready before noOn), by sending it to the post office when some of the office help are going to lunch. If mailed at p. m. some that might otherwise go north on the 5.09 train must wait and go south on the 7.15. Mails close 30 minutes before train time. Early mailing secures better service and relieves congestion. It is, in fact. the finest kind of cooperation.

 The play proceeded and after an ap- parently violent outburst of temper on the part of the feminine star, the little girls voice again rent the air with Mamma acts just that way some times, doesn't she, papa?"

Great Waterspout.

Particulars are published in the Me neurological Magazine of a great wa terspout that a correspondent ob- served south of Cape COmorin on a day when the weather was fine and the sea smooth. The waterspOut formed between a russet-gray cloud and the sea nearly five miles from the ship. At first the distance between the base of the cloud and the surface of the sea was 4,6OO feet, and the width of the column tapered from 500 feet at its juncture with the cloud to 15O feet at the sea. The vortex ap- peared to- be a tube with tapering sides and a central column. The walls seemed to consist of water moving downward and the central column of water ascending. The phenomenon lasted for 13 minutes; then the walls appeared to ascend into the cloud.
