THE TRIALS OP A 4TH-CLASS
POSTMASTER.
There is no better place to study
Character and human nature than in
a post-office. All classes and condi
tions of people visit there. The high
tiiid low tliefrieh and poor, the young
and old, the native and foreign born
the white and, the intelligent and the
ignorant, the nodes and the females,
the rough and the polished, and all,
n ore or le~s, exhibit the peculiar
traits of their character. Some arc
refined, civil and polite, while others
arc vulgar, coarse and insulting Some
are always in a hurrv lor their mail
and have not a moment of time to
wait. It makes no difference who
m,v- be before them, •>• w. U the post*

cuse him of a want of accommodation
Aft-i* •' l fy have had their mail banded
to them (if there is any, and it is pro
bable there is not) then their great
hurry is over, and they lag behind to
see what others get from the office.
If they have a call-box they rap vig
orously upon glass front; or if the
mail is in the general delivery, they
mix in a meat ungracious (if not insult
ing) tone of voire: “1 want mv mail,
and I want it quick, too!” “ Here,
hand me my mail and don’t kecy me
waiting, either!” Such expressions
are exceedingly common, aud some
times they are much more impolite,
sufficient to make the postmaster boil
(internally w ith righteous indignation.
The poliie and refined approach much
more timidly, and with diffidence say
“My mail if you please ” aud when ii
is handed to them they receive it
with a smile ar.d exclaim “Thanks.’
T'tis throws sunshine into the post
master's heart and warms him up to
renewed exertions to ‘,keep his temper
when insulted by a buffoon. Ohters
say,“ls there any mail for me?” The
postmaster looks carefully and re
sponds, ‘No.therre is notbirig!”Then
they reply,‘‘Well, there ought to be.
and I don't see why there isn’t. 1
received a postol from a friend who
said he had written me two or three
letters recently, and I don,t see why
I don’t get them!” Others will insist
that there are packages, registered
letters or money-orders in the office
for them; that they bad “got word' 1
that they bad heed sent, and know
they must be ‘ there.” VVlun the
postmaster assures them that there is
nothing of the kind, they make very
strange of it, and sometimes intimate
hat he is holding back their mail.
Many ask for stamp, and after get
tin it, haod it back and say,“Now put
that on this letter and back it fo.i me
( Tlrrowing down a nickel and re
ceiving three copper cents iu change
they will say,“Givenj a:n>t!i er stamp.
The postmaster takes back the two
cents and out another two-cent stamp
aud then probably turns away to wait
on someone else, when the person
who has just taken up so much of his
ti ne yells out,“Here I don’t want this
1 enny. Give me a postal card or a one
cent stamp, for I hate coppers!”
Thus k i* that a postmaster’s time J
is frequently taken op in doing that
which he is not re quired to do,
namely, placing stamps on letttrs and
am! .1 i Iress ng them, and very often
too, without so much as receiving
thanks for his polite attention.
He is also often asked to“do up’
packages to he sent in the mails, and
is not infrequently called upon to
rend letters for the ignorant and then
reply to them, and sometimes. at his
own expense for paper’ envelope and
stamp. Of course lie expects pay for
the material furnished’ but the party
excuse themselves by stating that they
•‘have no charge,” and will pay it the
next time they come to the office,
which may he so long that the post
master forgets all about the trans
action, and so do they.
Ppcrsons sometimas w’ant to send
money by' registered letter.sand place
the money in it. When told that he
cannot do that, they become indignant
and declare that they have often had
other postmasters do it.
The re are many persons who call
at a post office for mail for a large
family, announcing each name sepa
rately. It was often done at my office,
and I have no doubt it is of frequent
occurrence at every post-office in the
Union, and I need not say it is very
annoying.
Those who receive the least mail are
most persistent and reguar callers,
and they come several times a day
without regard to the arrival of the
mails. They come through all kinds
oi the weather, hr day and by night
early and late, aud seem to grow
weary or discouraged because they
fail even to get a postal card, a news*
paper or a circular. It appears to be
a habit which they cannot resist. I
was a postmaster for four years and
am confident that some of my most
frequent callers never received four
lettrs in all that time.
Some people think they ought to
receive letters when they have no
one in the world to write to them,
and too, when they never write a
letter to a living human being. But,
as they see other people get mail, they
think they ought to have some as tvelj
as they—that that is what the post
office is for—and they don t think well
of a postmaster who will lie all the
time giving out letters to neighbors,
and none to them ,and, in fact, con
aider him “real mean” for so and ung,
I had a large colored population for
ray patrons, and they esteemed the
privilege of calling at the post-office
every day a duty winch they were
anxious to perform. They’ seldem or
never sent a letter but they were al
ways “ex|iectin”one. Sometimes |
three or four members of the same j
family would call, one after another,
until my patience would be exhausted.
They considered me a public servant
and were determined to get all the
service cut oi nte possible.
There are many persons whose very
existence seems to depend on the
letters they receive, and when nona
come, with what a look of woe and
expression of despair they turn away
sadly disappointed, ami I need not say
that it touches the sympathy of the
postmaster, for they generally have a
tender feeling for the distressed.
It is the ignorant who are the most
utireasonahk and the hardest, to please
Intelligent people are the easiest to
gut along with, and it is a pleasure tc
wait upon them. Thep are always
civil and courteous, never forgitting
to return thanks for the slightest
favor.
Asa rule, strangers and foreigners
are the most polite, and commercial
travelers always so. Some newly
arrived foreigners would often take
off their hats when they approach the
delivery window, while others after
having been here for some time get to
be verv impertinent aud overbearing
in their demanor, but it is generally
to be attributed to their ignorance, for
no one can appreciate true liberty and
abuse its privileges.
It is a trial of patience to be a
fourth-class postmaster. All newly,
appointed postmasters of that grade
soon show the they' are made of, for
there is scarcely a day when their
temper is not sorely tired. I think
old father Job would have cursed God
and died if lie had held such a position
in Ins day, for numan nature is the
same the world over and lus been so
since our great ball waxjset in motion,
—An Ex-Postmaster, In the United
States Mail.
The Earth’s Face is Clean.
The Kiutii is Earthy only in name
The soil is only skin deep, except in
Alluvial Valleys and beneath is the
Hone and Sinwe of Geology’, in form
of Rocks and Strata—Average depth
of the Soil all over the World.
A little figuring sometimes brings
out startling facts . Here is the latest
surprise—for such it will be to most
people. Problem—How much soil
•s there on the face of the earth?
Enough to give our planet a name, j
apparently; it is only natural to think j
of ihe earth as earthy. And if a
beau'.y expert were to venture a cri'-
lcism on the face of Mother Earth, he
would probably, insinuate tnnt her
complexion is rather muddy. But
this would be a slanderous falsehood,
as will be presently shown, For in re
realitv.the amout of earth an the earths
surface is relatively less than ihe com
plexiou powder which a fine ladydust
upon her cheeks.
This seems incredible. We call to
mini! at once the rich, iuexsmstibie
soil of the parades, and the fertile
fields all o'*er the world, ample suffi
cient to feed uany times its present
population if properly cultivated.
It appears impossible that the sum
total can be insignificant* But let ns
see Vs a mattei of fact, the earth’s
soil has little depth, Try the experi
ment almost anywhere—it will be foud
that oed rock is not very far down be
low the sureace of the eaith. We
will Lake an extreme case. In Egypt
the soil is exceptionally deep.
For untold ages th: Nile lias been de
positing over its surface layers of mud
washed down from remote regions
Yet even here the depth is not re
ally great. In the centre ol the
valley it is said to vary from a minni
mum of forty to a maximum of about
seventy feet. Along the edges the
bare bones of 111" earth protrude
through the barren sand-
But we will be generous in our esti
mate. \V e will assume that the aver
age depth of soil all over "the world
amounts to fifty feet. Wo will include
sand and gravel and the dry dust of
the desert-everywhere but solid rock;
and we will ignore tbe huge bowlders
and intrusi/e ledges that form so con
spicuous a feature of the landscapes
in most couutries. We will assume,
too, that the average depth of the soil
on the bed of the ocean is no less
than that allowed for the dry
land- This is more than liberal
but even so, the statement made
above are fully justified* The grand
total is proportionately less than the
powder upou a ladies cheek, and very
few of the children of good Mother
Earth have faces as free from soil as
hers.
For remember, the diameter of the
earth is abort 8,000 miles. Fifty tcet
is less than the one hundredth part of
a mile. The thickness of the layer of
soil on the earth’s is therefore less
than one eight hundred ihosandth of
the earth’s diameter.
Now lei ns make a comparison
Eight inches is a very fair allowance
for the diameter of the homan head.
Regarded as a small terrestrial globe,
its scale would lie about one thousand
miles to the inch, The layer of soil
on the earth’s surface, therefore,would
he represented u| on 'he human face
by an inappreciable film scarcely the
one hundredth part of an tnehin thick
ness !
What do these figures really mean?
Illustration is necessary to make them
intelligible.
The one hundreth thousandth part
of an inch represents about the degree
of accuracy attainable in finishing the
finest telescopic lenses—the most
exact and perfect work achieved by
the hand of man. It approximately
represents the thickness of i scap
| bubble. It is probably less than tie
thickness of the faint print left by the
fingers when they are pressed upon
a pane of glass.
But tins extreme tenuity may lie
illustrated in another way, still more
striking. The wave length of violet
light is about one sixty thousandth of
an inch; that cl' the red rays about one
forty thousandth of mi inch. The
thickness assumed is therefore less
than the length of the short st light
waves —less than half tho length of
the red waves.
Such a film, of course, would b”
quite imperceptible upon the human
countenance. The slightest visible '
stain represents a relative dep h of
soil greater than Mother Eeartb ever
tolerates upon any portion of her fair
face.
There is r.nolhar way in which the !
comparison nnty be made, with results j
no less unexpected. Imagine all the j
soil scraped from the surface of the
earth and made into a ball of mud—
how large would it be ?
Massed in this w’ay the sum total
would seent quite impressive consid
ered by itself, for we should have n
sphere about 144 miles in diameter,
with a sui face exceeding 65.000
square miles rather more that twice
the area of the state of Maine. But
when compared with the earth the
size of this formidable mud ball would
be found simply insignificant; it would
require more than 172,000 of them to
equal the volume of our planet.
Representing the earth, as before,
by an eight-inch globe all the soil that
could be gleaned from its surface
would be fairlyrepreseuted by a pellet
no larger than a pigeon shot. If old
Atlas, who, according to mytlimakers,
carries the earth upon his shoulders,
should endeavor to lighten his load j
by thus scraping off the dirt, the
whole lesult of efforts would be a lit
tle black pill the minuteness of which
as it lay in the palm of Ins hand,
would fill him w ith dismay. He could
never get appreciable relief by such a
metnod.
On the whole, then, notwithstand
ing the pepular impression to the con
trary, our Mother Earth is a tidy dame
setting a good example to her off
spring, and it would be well if they
followed it more closely. Indeed,
there is little reason to doubt that her
face viewed from a proper distance,
so that it could be fairly seen, would
appear as bright and beautiful as that
of her sister Venus. We have no
reason to be ashamed of Mother
Earth.—Na ional Recorder.
IIOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty four
hours; a sediment or settling initiates
a diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine staines linen it is positive
evidence of kidney taouhle. Too
frezuent desire to urinate or pain in
the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are our
of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed’ that Dr. K ilmer-’s
Swamp Root, the great kidney reme
dy fulfills every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidnevs, liver, blad
der and every part of the urinary
passages' It corrects inability’ to
hold urine and scalding pain in pass
ing it or bad effects following use of
liquor, wine or beer, anp overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of bein
compelled to get up many' times
during the night ta urinrte. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp-rout is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful
cuics of the most distressing cases.

vety little, and many of them, abso
lutely nothing, about our navy; tie
present, its past, or its lutitee. This
ignorance U especially noticeable til
the inland counties, where many peo
ple have never the opportunity <>f
seeing a man of war. Nothing cmild
lie of more interes. to the | e 'pie who
live in imand towns, and have only
read of the great vessels, than a v.sil
to one them.
At most any time some of the gr at
warships are stationed at the Brook
lyn Navy Yard. To get on board of
one of tbe:,; is not always an easy
matter. On certain days these vessels
are open to insect ion, but, at no othot
time are strangers allowed on board,
and it is purely a matter of accident
or streak of good fortune if they can
succeed in doing so. It depends very
much on the character of the com
manding officer to whom the intro
duction is presented. If lie is old and
crabbad little chance is therefor the
curious stranger, if yonug and over
officious, this chance is still lessened.
But if the officer is just right, neither
j too crabbed or too officious, then there
' is the possibility of receiving :he per-!
j mission to mount the long steps lead i
ding aboard, and, even sometimes, lo
secure the servic s of some gallant
young officer as guide over the vessel
The first sensation of a visitor as he
steps on board one of our great w; r
vessels, is that of awe and amnzvmei t;
and this feeling still increases as he
proceeds over the vessel, and learns
more about the power and uses of the I
enormous machinery, when be 1-iok*
upon guns that can destroy objects at j
twelve miles distant, still more does!
a feeling of wonderment possess him.!
To be on one of great men of
xvat, gleaming white in tho sun,, wan
liko in its graceful curves, but en
dowed with means of devastation
thrills our countrymen with the fire
of patriotism and his heart heats with
national pride. Truly, we Ameiicans
can feel proud when we consider that
in our navy are battleships that sur
pass those of any other nation.
In building the “Iowa” and the
three prototvoes, the “Massachusetts’’
the “Indiana” and tho “Oregon” the
highest mechanical achievement has
been attained.
These ships, though twenty-five per
cent small than the great ships lately
finished in England, are more com
plete in every detail; they possess
powers cf almost inconceivable de
struction, and they are acknowled by
experts, here and abroad, to be super
ior to any engine of war yet con
structed.
“From beneath the earth, man has
torn its steel and dug its fire, anti has
constructed a machine that not only
defies air and water; but, guided by
human intelligence, asserts its mas
tery over them with a mocking
shrieking power that one can imagine
to have b.en borrowed only from lhe
the noises and forces ot chaos.'’ These
floating foitresses, quietly sleeping,
give little idea of the terrible power
that is concentrated within them.
Awake the warship from its sleep,
rouse it to anger, and then it will
seem all the fires Prometheus forged
from the earth, had been imprisoned
and were now set free. Jove, in his
mighty wrath, will hurl his thunder
bolts for miles, and Mars will
raise the cry and clamour of war
The power of the.-e battle ships is ap
palling.
Few people appreciate the rate at
which our navy' has been growing.
The extrordinary developements that
have been made since the Govern
ment set out to build anew navy
worthy of this country, are such as
might have been expected of Ameri
can energy and ingenuity.
It is not many years since the navy
was in a most deplorable condition,
and was a subject of concern and a
source of humiliation to the country.
It was in 1881 that the first decisive
step towards building anew navy
were taken by William Chandler, Sec.
of Navy under President Arthur. A
Naval Advisory Board was appointed
aud recommended a programme for
the next eight years, which, while
involving the vast outlay of $30,000,
000, would place in commission the
twenty-one iron-clads absolutely
needed, seventy unarmored cruisers,
five rams, five torpedo gun-boats and
twenty torpedo boats.
The building of this new navy has
continued steadily, and we now rank
as one ot the great naval powers of
the world. The lowa, Massachusetts,
Oregon and Indiana cost over 83,000-
000 apiece. The Brookly, the largest
ami most formidable protected cruiser
in the navy, cost over $5,000,000, and
has a crew of nearly 600 men.
Befor the lauching of the “Brook
lyn” the “New York” was the pride
of the navy. That title bas now been
usurped by the “Brooklyn” and the
“New York” has been compelled to
to take seeond place. The Brooklyn
has been dubbed “The greater New
York” by some naval wit.

EXPENSES. It is an object of the school to impress practical economy
in every department. Good board can be had frira $1.50 to $2.00 per. week;
and room rent from fiOc to 75e per week, thus making 'he entire cost with tu
ition 00 per week. To meet these low rates it is absolutely necessary that
all bills be paid a term in advance. We will refun 1 money paid fur board ctr
room rent, but charge 10c per week additional for the time, if less that! otie'
