POSTOFFICE H
VERY BUSY DAY.
St. Valentine's Day Caused a Great
Deal of Extra Mall Matter.
Most of the workera In tho Albany
postofflee had their tongues hanging
out yesterday afternpon when the big
clock In the court-house dome struck
the "knocklng-off" time. It had
been one of the biggest days the office
had ever had, from the standpoint of
the amount of mall handled.
When a Herald reporter walked up
to one of the windows yesterday after
noon and asked one of the distributing
clerks If they had had a busy day, tho
reporter had to dodge an Ink-well that
was sent flying at his head. Had the
postofflee people had a busy day?
Well, they should smile, but they
didn’t feel like It about that time iu
the afternoon.
Anyway, the Herald man learned be
fore I10 left that yesterday was the
biggest St. Valentine’s Day In tho his
tory of the local office. There were
stacks and stacks of mall, mostly val
entines. ft began to pour In and poui-
out yesterday afternoon, and It con
tinued In an uninterrupted stream of
great volume all day. The carriers
went away loaded on the first morn
ing delivery. They were nearly as
heavily weighted down on the after
noon delivery. Everybody, It seemed,
had remembered everybody else, and
the remembrances had taken shapes
that were stamped and had to be de
livered by Ttlncle Sam. Never before
was there such a stream of valentines
to pour through the Albany postofflee.
As a result, there were many delighted
and many downcast hearts In the city
last night.
"One thing I noticed this year,” said
one of the postofflee clerks, “there
were not nearly so many comic valen
tines sent as usual. I was really sur
prised to note that there had been a
considerable decrease in the number of
comic valentines and such a large In
crease In the number of more pleasing
tokens of the day of love. I suppose
the people must be getting better-na-
tured. The ‘mean dispositions’ fire-dis
appearing, and the desire to send cuts
and pangs on the wings of the comic
valentine has given place to the more
commendable wish of conveying in
dainty missive the sweet assurance of
loving ■ thoughts from ■ an unknown
friend." .

Serving FImIi.
Fish is dainty food. Practice is need
ed in serving it. Lightness of touch
and dexterity of management are nec
essary to keep the delicate flakes in
tact. It requires, some skill to rip
tlje skin and lay It back and sever the
head and tail with neatness and dis
patch. These three articles must nev
er leave the platter. They belong to
the cat. Tbe choicest morsel of any
white fish Is tbe cheek. It Is not good
form to cut through a fish. Begin at
tbe tall and throw aside the skill. Be
gin at the head to servo, cutting to the
backbone. When the moat on that side
Is helped turn the fish and help the
other side In the same way. I f there is
roe a part should be served each per
son. Bolling Is the nicest way to cook
and tho easiest way to serve fish.
Dress the edge of the platter with hard
fegz and sliced Icipon. tomato and beets.
