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¬ iner. A Striking Resemblance.

FUSTHEFAUM AM, HOVE. Kerplna I’isrowli, 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.

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. Presence of Mind.

The old Roman custom or law that an enemy who had come to another country, even in times of peace, could, if war br,jko out , be enslaved, existed in Eu- rope in the middle ages; and the en- alavcment did not cease till the middle A* 10 Seventeenth century. Henry II. of England, the father of Richard the Lion Hearted, was wont to travel so fast that tho King of France, who was rather lazy, said: “He neither rides on laud nor sails on water, but flies through the air like a bird.” He went through the country, askings of old used to do, examining into affairs, and especially as to how the judges used to do their duty. The Hindoos say that chess is the in¬ vention of an astrologer who lived more than 5,000 years ago and was possessed of supernatural knowlege and acuteness. Greek historians assert that the game was invented by Palamedes to beguile in the tedium of the siege of Troy. The Arab legend is that it was devised for the in- struction of a youngdespot by his father, a learned Brahmin, to teach the youth that a king, no matter how powerful, wag dependent upon his subjects for safety, 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. “Some President.” The frequent revolutions in the govern- mcnts 0 f South American republics seem t 0 make presidents there as common as military officers are in this country, Moreover, familiarity breeds there the same feeling that it does elsewhere.
