K MAIL CAR.
Distributing Postoffica Mat¬
ter in a Flying Train.
How TTnole Sam's Hired Mon in tho
Hailway Servioe Assart the Mul,
A Chicago Herald reporter has been
making a trip with the six postal clerks
who distribute tho mail from a train
which leaves the Western metropolis
daily. We quote from the reporter’s ac
count:
What do tho clerks find to do ? A
plenty. Ev ry morning they take out
about twenty-five tons of mail, and on
Saturday thirty or thirty-five tons. This
mail is composed of letters, postal cards,
single newspapers and newspapers
in bunches. The most of it mu it be
“worked,” that is, assorted and dis¬
tributed according to address. In onc end
of the car are two big cases, each con¬
taining hundreds of pigeon holes. Each
pigeon-hole represents cither a post office
or a railway mail car, which is a moving
post office. Head Clerk Kemper, for in¬
stance, picks up a bunch of letters. In
that bunch there may he missives foi
fifty post offices in a dozen states or ter¬
ritories. He must know jmt where every
letter goes in his case, and to know that
simply means that he must be familiar
with the entire postnl route system in the
states, for which he is expected to make
distribution. In Illinois, for instance,
there are 1700 post offices. The clerk
must not only know in what county every
one is situated, but on what line of rail¬
road or stage, and how it is served. He
must, in fact, be able to draw a map of
Illinois and place thereon all the rail¬
roads, stage routes and post offices. So,
as Clerk Kemper takes up bunch after
bunch, addressed to thousands of offices
in a half dozen states, his mind as well
ns his fingers must be nimble. A printer’s
case, with its three alphabets and few
dozen charac'era, is virtually an ABC
book compared to the post office gaze-
teer which the clerk is compelled to
carry in his brain and make demands
upon a hundred times a minute. He
keeps on assorting and throwing, with
the postal system of a great deal of the
Northwest in his mind, and with the
train still hurrying on to its .destination.
In the other end of the car four men
are standing beforo long rows of news¬
paper sacks hanging with their mouths
open. There are a hundred of these
sacks, and above them, where the births
are closed during the day in a Pullman
car, are fifty boxes. Into these sacks
and boxes tho four men fire newspapers
as if they were shooting at rats and
their daily bread depending upon tho
number they could kill.
Two clerks thus work on letters and
four on newspapers. Just before a town
or junction point is reached each man
gathers together all of the mail he has
for the town or for the connecting lines,
the whole is bunched into a bag and the
bag locked and thrown off. Tho news¬
papers arc sacked loose, but tho letters
and postal cards are tied into packages
and addressed by means of a slip, and on
this slip each clerk must stamp his
name and the date. The postmaster or
railway mail clerk into whose hands this
package comes for another distribution
must mark upon the slip the number of
errors which he may find. If, for in¬
stance, there are letters in a package ad¬
dressed to the “Buda & Yates City R.
P. O.,” which should have
been sent by mail by
some other railway postoftice, every such
letter is an error, aocj, after scoring them
all up the postmaster or clerk mails the
slip to Captain White, superintendent.
In one run from Chicago to Burlington a
clerk will handle from two hundred to
two hundred and fifty packages of let-
ters or cards, or more than ten thousand
pieces in all. These may represent four
or five thousand postoffices, and to do
the work at all the clerk must lose no
time in consulting his books orin scratch
ing his head. Yet it is not often that
the overworked public servant will make
more than fifty errors a week. At head-
quarters tab is kep , and the poor clerk
who makes n good many errors one week
wants to look sharp that he doesn’t re¬
peat the offense soon or off may come his
head.
A Court Room in Chinn.
The trials are held in a large granite-
paved room containing but a few articles
of furniture. Near thc centre of thc room
is the desk of the examining Mandarin.
The desk is about ten feet long, and on
it are an ink pad and paper and tho writ-
ten accusation against the prisoner. Be-
hind the desk sits the examining Manda-
rin in his handsomely decarated official
robes. His rank is shown by the color
of the robe and buttons on his hat. Ai
each end cf the desk stand two lictors
and Interpreters. These officials act as
interpretersbetweentheMandarinandthe
prisoner, and are distinguished by a long
red tassel affixed to their hats. At the
right hand side of the hall is another
small desk, where the Clerk of the Cou t
sits and takes the confession of the crim¬
inals being tried. These desks and a
few raoks and other instrments used in
torture were the only articles of furni-
lure in the room. — San Francisco Exam¬

Peafowls arc not only ornameutal but
excellent for the table. They arc slow
in reaching maturity, and the hen seldom
lays before she is two years old. Tho
chicks, however, grow very rapidly at
first, but as they begin to feather almost
at the start of life they requiro frequent
feeding or they will perish. They soon
begin to fly, and roost on the highest
positions they can find. The lien lays
from ten to twenty eggs, according to
age and treatment. Tho young chicks
should be fed the same as young turkeys,
but meat, finely chopped, should be
given three times a week after tho first
week. The male is a quarrelsome bird
j n tff e barnyard, and often makes short
work of youug chicks. They ore more
ornamental than profitable, though the
tail feathers may be pulled for sal* aa
soon as tha molting season begins.
Hummer Care of Work Horse*.
The grooming—as it is called—of
horses, is quite as important as the feed¬
ing, and in summer time when the teams
are worked hard, it is indispensable to
their welfare. When a horse is working,
the excretion from the skin is profuse,
anil pours from it in the form of perspi¬
ration. When this dries on tho skin it
leaves a quantity of impure matter ad¬
hering to it, which is apt to close the
pores and prevent the escape of tho pers¬
piration. This produces disorder, in the
form of congestion of the myriads of
capillary vessels which form a close net¬
work near the surface of the body, and
the excretion and secretions being
stopped, the skin becomes harsh, dry,
contracted and diseased. The impure
matter—being unable to escape—gathers
In places and forms pimples, blotches or
tumors and, if it is not removed, there is
danger of poisoning the blood, and,
with the appearance of farcy and gland¬
ers, finally death. All this may be pre¬
vented by careful attention to the skin,
by occasional washing, regular currying
and brushing, and proper care to avoid
galling by the nibbing of ill-fitting har¬
ness. As prevention is the best cure, it is
well that owners of horses should exer¬
cise ali possible precautions to avoid the
frequent disorders which result from
neglect in the direction pointed out, and
thus save much annoyance and loss.
Hints ou tin vlniz.
In general, says a Cultivator contribu¬
tor, it is a good practice to keep close up
with the scythe while haying. Or in
other words to stop the mower, and pro¬
ceed to getting in as soon as the hay is
made enough for the purpose. Much
unnecessary labor is often saved by so do-
in S’ Especially is this so late in the
sca80D > when thc wc ather is likely to be
showery. One need not fear to g-1 hay
in quite green rather than to have it wet
with rain. The real juices of the : rass
will not be of much injury to the liny.
Water is a great damage to liny or
grass after it iscut. When there is no
water on the hay it will not be inju cd
so much by three weeks’ heating in the
mow as by lying three days in hot, rainy
weather upon the ground. Tho heating
in the mow injures only n small portion,
that being the top, where the vapor
collects and cools, while that out in the
rain is damaged all alike.
A good practice in haying is to mow
in the morning what can be readily
handled during the day. Early in the
day air that which was out over night,
and haul in before the de w falls. Rake
and bunch the hay cut in the fore part of
thc day, during the hottest part of the
afternoon. This will make very much
during the night, and only needs turning
up from the bottom to be in condition to
get in early the next day. When the in¬
dications are for a dull day on the inor
row, it is advisable to get in as much of
the present day’s mowing as possible,
In hunching hay in good weather the
horse rake will answer every purpose,
Saving Liquid Manure.
The convenience of being able to buy
and use artificial fertilizers when it is de-
sired to put in crops at a time when one
has no barnyard manure ready to use, or
whan he does not want to leave other
work long enough to draw manure,
should not lead to the neglect ing to try
to make all that it is possible to make
upon the farm or to the allowing of any
waste thereof. As the liquid excrements
from a full grown horse or eow in each
year are said by chemists to contain from
$12 to $14 worth of fertilizing elements
at the rate they are sold in artificial fer¬
tilisers, it is very important that they
should not he wasted. The plan of con-
ducting them from pipes in the barn toa
cistern and then distributing from a tank
on wheels, like a city watering cart, has
never become popnlar, anil it has certain
serious objections, not the least of which
is the highly concentrated character of
this fertilizer. Where this is not done
there should be u sufficient quantity of
dry earth or peat to absorb them. Just
p ow much to use for this purpose would
be a difficult problem to solve, as much
of the liquid would be absorbed by the
solid excrements, and much of ihe water
might be evaporated with loss of but
litile, if any, ot the valuable salts which
are principally nitrates and potash. One
good load for each animal would not
seem to be too much, and it might be
safer to double that amount, if the two
loads would add $12 valu: to the manure
heap, oc even the half of that amount, as
there would be some loss by the amount
voided in thc pasture or on the road.
Protfrllii? Voima Trer«.
Mr. W. D. Boynton, of Wisconsin,
writes to The Indiana Farmer: Young
trees need protection the first summer.
It is, in fact, the most critical time with
them. The winters are bad enough, but
the summers are often worse. The sun
and drying winds arc fully as fatal in
summer as the alternate fret zing and
thawing ot winter. Mulching it a great
f thing for the roots, but the tops and tho
trunk* of young true* taken from tho
thickly planted nursery are in no way
protected, and they miss such protection
very much. The grently reduced root
can not supply the top with the requisite
moisture or sap, whilo the sun und wind
make constant and heavy drafts upon it.
i , h ., ..................
newly settrees is a great help to them the
first summer. Trees four or five feet
high will bo well shaded by corn growth
during holiest wcuther of
summer. Growing corn also breaks tho
force of tho wind. It prevents the stems
irom being wrenched about in the usual
«' ~ a ».y —j.
noticed, too, that thick corn growth
gathers and retains moisture. The air is
more vaporous and cool near the ground,
which is a desirable condition for tree-
growth. I think this is un excellent way
to shelter a hedge-row of young ever¬
green or other trees. Any plant with a
mutilated root needs protection from tho
sun and wind; some need it much more
than others; some for but a few days, as
as they quickly establish vigorous roots,
while others need a whole season or
more to recuperate in. To this latter
class belong young trees. We inuy ho
sure tliat we liavo not done our part
until all ncwly-sct trees are in some mau-
ner protected from the scorching sun and
drying winds of our intense midsummer.
The young orchard may be regularly
planted to corn and cultivated as any
other field, omitting the horse cultivatior,
in those spaces in which the roots cf
trees are located.
Household Hints.
A well-ventilated bedroom will pre¬
vent morning headache uud lassitude.
To remove mildow, soak in butter¬
milk and spread on the grass in the sun.
If the oven is too hot when baking,
place a small dish of cold water in it.
To prevent flat-irons from scorching,
wipe them on a cloth wet with kerosene,
Sal volatile or hartshorn wiil restore
colors taken out by acids. It may he
dropped upon any garment without doing
harm.
To cleanso spots from broadcloth or
woolen goods take half an ounce each of
glycerine, alcohol and sulphuric acid,
two ounces of aqua ammonia, half au
ounce of powdered castilo soap and add
water enough to make one quart of tha
mixture. Use with brush or sponge and
rinse with pure water.
To clean marble the following is re¬
commended: Common soda, two pounds,
powdered pumicestone and finely-
powdered chalk one pound each. P iss
through a fine sieve and mix to a thin
paste with water. Rub it well over the
marble and the stains will be removed,
then wash the marble over with soap and
water and it will be as clean as it was at
first.
Recipe*.
Steired Lamb and Peas .—Have the bones
taken out of the under side of a shoulder
and bind into a good shape with tape,
Cover the bottom of a pot with chopped
salt pork, strew with minced young
onion, lay in the meat and pour in a
quart of weak broth made from the ex-
tracted bones and other trimmings.
Cover closely and stew tender. Take
out the lamb, unbind it, and keep it
hot, covered, overboiling water. Strain
the gravy left in the pot, return to the
tire with two quarts of green peas and
cook until they are done. Strain and
lay about the meat.
Potatoes Creamed With Parsley .—
Peel the potatoes,cut them into dico
and lay in co d water for half an hour or
more. Put over the tiro in cold salted
water and stew tender; drain out the
water and supply its place with a cup of
hot milk in which has been stirred a
tablespoonful of butter rolled in flour.
Then, for each cupful of potato, allow
two tablespoonfuls of green parsley,
very finely minced. Bring to a liasty
boil, pepper and salt to liking, and dish,
Lemon C'alce.— One and one-half cups
of si gar, one-half cup of butter, three
eggs, one-half teaspoon of soda dissolved
in milk, two heaping cups of sifted flour,
a little salt, the grated peel and juice of
one lemon; bake in two shallow pans and
cut into squares.
(stewed ,, , Apples . , ti ith liice. ... Scoop out .
the cores and peel some line russet apples,
and stew them in clarified >U 'tir. Boil
some vice in milk with a pinch of salt, a
few strips of lemon peel and sugar
enough to sweeten it. Leave on the tiro
until the rice is quite soft and has ab-
sorbed nearly all the milk, remove tho
lemon peel and place in a dish; arrange
the stewed apples on the rice and put it
in the oven until it is of a pretty golden
color.
Orlttlu of Hie Dollar.
The origin of our word dollar, as
everybody knows, is from the German
( haler or low German daler. But the
way in which it came to mean a cpin is
not familiar. About tho end of the
fifteenth century the count < of Schlick
Joachim's Thai (Joachim’s Valley), into
ounce-pieces, which got to be called
Joachim’s thaler, the German adjective
from the name of the place. These pieces
gained such reputation that they became
a kind of pattern, and other pieces of a
like sort took the name, dropping the
first part of the word for the sake of
brevity. Hence our dollar may be said
to be the metallic product of Joachim’s
Valley .—New York Commercial.

Value of Cream as Food.
Few seem to appreciate the value of
cream as an article of human diet, most
people preferring to use milk fat in the
form of butter. Though good and
properly-made butter may fairly be con¬
ceded to be the best and most wholesome
solid fat in use, it is quite inferior to
. respect , to . both ... and j
cream in economy
health. The superiority of cream over
butter or any other solid fat consists,
first, in its being not exactly in liquid
form, but in a condition allowing of great
mobility between its particles, permitting
the gastric juice to mix with it in the
most perfect manner, and with whatever
else tho stomach contains, thereby facili-
tating digestion. Cream is also superior
to butter and other fats from its being
intimately incorporated with albuminous
or flesh-forming matter in a condition
favorable for easy and perfect digestion,
so that while it serves tho purpose of all
unctuous matter in developing animal
heat and force, it carries along with it
nutriment in a most readily available
form, a very important consideration m
the case of invalids. It is a fact in the
functions of the stomach that neither
fats alone nor albuminoids alone are di-
gested by it as well as when the two are
mingled together in certain , . proportions. ..
It does not seem to cope with any kind
of grease alone, and pure albuminoids it
digests with great difficulty. The flesh
of lean animals, which is defective in fat,
never digests as well as that of animals
in better condition, in whose muscles fat
ja m i ng i e( j. The palate instinctively
recognizes t he difference between fat and
no fat in the flesh of the animals when
U9 ed for food, always preferring that
marbled with fat. A more perfect com-
bination of fat and flesh-forming food
could hardly be imagined than exists in
cream, each fat globule of which it is
composed being inclosed with an envel-
ope of albuminous matter, and besides
this, being suspended in a serum of a
similar character, making the incorpora-
tion of fat and nutriment matter as inti-
mate as it is possible to make it.
