POST OFFICt CURIOSITIES.
Funny Names for Offloes-- Our Cartar"
Honored.
St. Louis Poet-Dispatch.
The forthcoming report of Ilia Postmas
ter General will ahow that thia great coun
try has now over 50 0,0 post-offices for Its
over 60 000,010 people, or about one for
each 1000 persons. There are some curi
ous facts connected with tbe administra
tion of so large ail iusiitullon as this.
The employes of the department number
over a hundred thousand Of conr,e the
sum required to run to large an establish-
ruent is something enormous. The sala
ries of postmasters alone amount to near
ly 310000.000, aud the sum pail for trans
portation of mails 325.000,000. The num
ber of post-offices is increasing ateadlly at
the rate of orer 2.0)0 a year. The task of
tbe fellow who fixes names for all of these
is a pretty serious one. Of coarse the
people ol the section where the offices are
to he located are allowed to fix a name eo
far as possible, but in many esses they
select s name already given to some office
in tbe Bute, snd of course it cannot be
used. Then they are permitted to make
some other selection, and so on almost in
definitely. It often happens, however,
that the post-office official! are compelled
to finally select, or that in their dear air
the citizens who hare the selecting of tbe
name, by having frequently soma name
already in use in the State, jump at some
ridiculous name altogether unheard of be
fore, or select one suggested by some pe
culiar surroundings. Some of tbe odd
names are as follows; Dismal, Thump,

advantages ot a cotton bagging saturat

making a test which showed
that while such bagging would char
in a hot lira aud carooniz*, it would
not produce a flame. This of course
would protect the covored co lon bale and
so thar the cotton that it would not burn,
and in case of Ilie ho-test kind of a ware
house fire, would allow the bales thus pro
tected to be rolled right out from ibefiomrs
