THE CITIZEN
How Mail Clerks Assist the mory.
Me
The railway postal clerks have a unique
method, savs a contemporary, for learning
the routes on whicn post office? are located.
Take, for example, the State of Pennsyl
vania. in which there are over 5.000 offices.
The prospective mail distributer buys a I
quantity of blank card* —about the size
the ordinary visiting card —and on each of
these he writes the name of an office. On
the back of the card he writes the name ot
the route by which the office is served with
its mail, Taking in hand a package of
these cards—say from 50 to 100—he goes
over them one after another studiously,
looking at the back each time and getting
the name of the ronte dearly associated in
his mind. Tho second time he goes through
the pack he Cuds that he knows the half ot
the route by readiug the name of theoffi.e-
It is a dull student who upon going over
a pack of cards a dozen times does not
know them thoroughly. The methoii it. so
simple and such an aid to memorizing that
it is adopted by all railway mail clerks
By it clerk* have been known to memorize
a State like Pennsylvania inside of two
months.
On all large routes clerks work but half
time the other half being devoted to rest
and study. The mail clerk at home, con
tinually reminded of coming examinations,
Carries bis cards n hercver he goe.-. conning
over them at every opportunity. One de
monstrative clerk on the New York and
Pituburg R. P. 0. is famed for having
learned the St ite of Ohio iu four days. As
he shuffled over his cards he walked from
garret to cellar, and visa versa, from dawn
until the shades of twilight fell. On tho
fourth day to went to the examiner's office
and separated Ohio without an error.
It is related that the wife of a postal
clerk a !>>pted the card method for increas
ing her vocabulary in French. On one side
ol the
on tie othfthe English equivalent to be
learned. er lady, hearing of this
nsed the >uniu sy.-tem successfully for learn
ing n.ythulogi. placing the word "Mars,"
for install''*, on . lie side of the card and
"war" on " • to« r The method has so

How to Cider Sweet.
PUP-, sweet ciiler. that is arrested in the
process of fermenta' ion before it becomes
acetic acid, cr evtii alcohol, and with car
bonic acid gas wort'd ont, is one of the
most delightful beyera;:rs. The following
scientific method ot tri ating cider will pre
serve its sweeti'i'-.-: V hen the saccharine
mattw. .. fcrniitM.iti'n are being converted
into alcohol, if a bem tuoc oo inserted air
tight into the bun:', with the other end in
a pail of water, to allow the carbonic acid
itas evolved to pass off without admitting
any air into the barrel, a bei erage w ill be
obtained that is ht nectar for the gods.
A handy way is to fill your cask nearly up
to the wooden laucet, when the ca>k is
rolled so the bung is down. Get a common
rubber tube and slip it over the end of
the plug in the faucet, with the other end
in the pail. Tlieu turn the ping so the
cider can have communication with the
pail. After the water ceases to bubble,
bottle or store away.
Enormous Enterprises.
The advancing years seem to produce an
increase rather than a diminution in the
number of gigantic schemes. We have all
heard of the scheme fur expending $40,000,-
000 in the construction of" a monster dam
in the vicinity of Newfoundland that
would turu the Gulf Stream back on it
self and give New England a tropical cli
mate, so that the Granite State boys could
climb palm trees to shake off the succulent
cocoanut on their own bleak hillsides,
while the Rhode Islanders would offer
scant encouragement to the peripathetic
Italian banana vender, as each and all of
them would have a banana tree in close
proximity to his own back porch.
A.more recent scheme is the bridging of
the English Channel between Dover and
Calais It is said that this scheme has
gone so far that a company has been form
ed to secure the necessary concessions
from the Hritish and French governments.
The cost of this bridge is something like
$240,000,000.
The latest scheme is for roofing London
and other large cities, and thus doing
away with the umbrella trust. The pro
jector has not yet considered any such
vulgar and insignificant detail as the mat
ter of cost, and hence has not enlightened
the public on this point.
Such schemes are, adds the American
Arfixan. of coarse, largely visionary; but
they indicate a tendency to grapple with
the most stupendous undertakings that is
in a manner characteristic of the nervous
and "progressive age in which we live.

—"I wish," caid a physician, "that peo
ple generally understood how important it
is to their physical welfare that the-y
should go up and down steps as little as
practicable, and that they should do it
properly when at all. By properly I mean
slowly, never faster than a walk, and
planting the heel lirmly on each step. The
novel heroine, 'tripping lightly down the
stairs,' looks graceful, but it is a bad thing
for her nevertheless."
—The future of a Nation is the future of'
its young men and women. If they are
educated towards an ideal in morality, in
citizenship, iu life, that ideal will come
nearer to realization than if it were left to
become the prey of loose morals and con
taminating influences. Whatever tends to
show a young man or a young women the
right way of living tends to the upbuilding
of the Nation.

of the North-west. A miller in Western
Pennsylvania saw at the World's Fair a
complete set of improved machinery for
making4oar which cost S3OOO. The miller
examined it and thought it was the best
invention ever made. He was told that
the machinery was in operation iu iUrcer
county, where on exainiu itiou ho found it
was making 50 barrels of flour a day. If
this be true it will not be long before the
old mills in the East are relitted and at
work agair.

Pennsylvania the Tramp's Paradise.
Jooiah Flint has an interesting paper en
tramp life in The Century for this month.
He joined the tramp fraternity and travel
ed, begged, smokc.l, and went to jail with
them, all for tho purpose of studying the
tramp problem. After showing that moot
of the tramps follow their vagrant and
vagabond life from choice. Mr. Flynt says
of that Canaan ot vagrants which a false
benevolent has made of certain parts
of this State.
It is in Pennsylvania, however, the
tramp is best fed. Ido not know of a
town or village in the Keystone State where
a decently clad roadster cannot get all
tbat he cares to eat, without doing a stroke
of work in payment. lie can travel, too,
more freely than elsewhere, for the rail
roads intersecting the State are the most
friendl}' in the country. Tnere is not one
that does not harbor dead-beats at least nt
night. The jails are also a great bond to
the fraternity. In the majority of them
there is no work to do. while some furnish
the daily papers. Consequently, in winter
one can see tramps sitting comfortably on
on benches drawn close to the fire, and
reading their morning paper, and smoking
their after breakfast pipe, as complacently
and calmly as the merchant in his count
ing room. Here they find refuge from the
storms of winter and make them.-elves en
tirely at home."

FOOLING THE PEOPLE.
There is a clique of advertisers who are continaallj fooling the people.
They have tooled them once too often with a pretense to give something
for nothing You may fool some of the people all the time—and all of the
people some of the time, but you can't fool a'l the people all tbe time. In
looking over tbe advertisements in the papers nowaday, I find 1 have lost
my laurels Now I will teil you tbe truth. You will see hundreds of such
baits flung out for suckers to bite at, such as, "We can save you 25 per
cent by trading with us," and some even go so far as to say 50 per cent.
Men's fine suits worth $25.00 for only $9 99 Pants worth $3 00 only $3 99,
Bankrupt Sales, Sheriff Sales Assignees Sale, <&c. Now we ask you can
didly. C'au these concerns doing business at fabulous expense, sacrißee
profits as a great many advertise to do ? Are tbey as liberal as «.hey propose
to be ? We answer no. The enormous sums required to meet current ex
penses must be met by liberal and in most cases by heavy margins. Profits
tbey must have and trade they must get or sink in the whirlpool they have
created by their own hauds There is no alternative, get the profit and get
the trade, but how ? In no other way than working on the weak minds of
the people by flaming advertisements. They boldly and shamelessly claim
to actually give the dear people s.'s 00 iu value for one invested Such un
principled actions ar* becoming not only tiresome, but positively danererous
to the welfare and interest of the buying public. On carefnl inspection you
will find these $25 00 suits reduced to only $9 99 are dear at eight dollars
I saw an ad. stating men's fine worsted suita reduced from $lO 00 to $6 00.
1 called to see them and found our $3 "5 cotton suit. When we offer you
a suit for $!0 00 that is all it is worth jr ever was worth We just give
vou one dollar's worth of goods for 100 cents
You waDt to see our immense stock of overcoats and suits for men,
boys and children. Hats and caps in endless variety, shirt*, collars and
cuffs, and ties, any and every style to suit even tbe most fastidious; uuder
wear, hosiery, overulls. jackets, gloves, mittens, umbrellas, euspenders, in
fact anything iu the furuishiug line; also a fine line of ladies and gents gold
and silver watches, chains, charms, pins, rings, collar aud cuff buttons, scarf
pins, initial pius, ail at the very lowest cash prices. All we ask is an in
spection of our goods and prices before purchasing. We have always done
you good and feel confident we cau do so again. To those who have heen
trartiug with us. we lender our most beaitfelt thanks, and to those who
never have, we would say, try us once and you will never regret it.
