BILLIONS OF LETTERS
BY RURAL DELIVERY!
Salaries of the Carriers Now Cost
the L'liltoil Slnto $:i(ll00(,0(0 n
Year.
The rural frco delivery service of
tho united States means tho dls-
trlbutlon of nearly 3,000,000 letters
and parcels annually along tho high
ways and byways of every Stnto and
Territory from Malno to Alaska. A
force of 41,000 carriers dally go
over tho routes assigned to them.
Bringing the mail to tho farmer
now costs tho Nation J3G.000.000 n
year In salaries for the carriers, cx
penso of examining new routes ninlti'
talnlng post olllces, paymonts of In
Bpectors, special agents, clerks nnd
chiefs of bureaus.
To feecuro information to make
changes In routes and carriers where
nnd answered by tho department of
rural free delivery in a year. Many
of those received are merely ad-
dressed to tho department. To save
time of opening and reading missives
not properly directed is a part of the
work of tho mailing section. It ln
eludes a prlvato post office through
which every letter received or sent
relative to rural delivery must pass.
Every one of the half million and
moro letters sent from this depart
ment is copied for record by a me
chanical system which saves tho
labor of a hundred copying clerks
even where the hand copying press
or tho carbon method haB been em
ployed. A force of only sventeen
clerks Is needed in this section, says
tho bookkeeper, yet In nddltlon to
handling any copying mall they keep
a dally record of all tho outlay for
postage expenses of the department,
and sort and examine tho hundreds
of letters dally received which must
bo returned to the postofflces whero
they should have been directed.
What the service does In receiving
applications for new routes, peti
tions for carriers, decisions of the
department, tho payments and re
ceipts, Is told by the postofiico news
paper, published every day by the
accounting section. It Is a record
of what every one In this postal
counting house, Including the As
sistant Postmaster General himself is
doing. Every important item of
statistics Is tabulated in type.
The esprit de corps of tho rural
free delivery is best shown by the
last annual report. During the year
It states that out of the 41,000 In the
service the total dismissals for cause
were only 16C, less than the total
number of deaths
The reasons for tho dismissals
were principally Incompetence and

meal of the day slightly the lightest
and distinctly tho plainest and sim
plest of tho three. If there be any
deficiency of the appetite, breakfast
is tho ono at which it is most likely
to show itself. But this lack of ap
petite Is in nine cases out of ten
clearly traceable to sleeping In an un
ventilated room or to late hours or
foul air tho night before, or to in
sufficient exercise the previous day,
and is no Indication that tho body
really requires less food at this time.
Perfectly healthy men who sleep with
their windows open and go to bed
at a reasonable hour will tell you
that they enjoy their breakfast as
well as they do any other meal of
the day, and many even call It their
best meal.
"Another popular delusion in re
gard to the lightness and unimport
ance of the breakfast is that wide
spread subterfuge, tho 'continental
breakfast,' consisting of a cup of cof
fee and some fruit or a slnglo roll.
This is a very pretty breakfast as
far as it goes, but it doesn't go far;
and the solo basis for Its adoption on
the continent Is that it is only Intend
ed aB a temporary tldeover, until tho
real breakfast of meat, eggs, fish,
with beer or wine, which Is taken at
about ten or eleven o'clock, Hko a
very early luncheon. If you haven't
got a good appetite for breakfast
mako it your business to go and get
one, instead of allowing yourself to
bo blinded by this morbid state of
affairs and deciding that all you real
ly need Is a cup of coffee, nnd a roll
or an orango or a puff of breakfast
bran."
Fifteen Thousand Matty's Salary.
New York, Nov. 12. Fifteen
thousand dollars a year for a base
ball player!
This Is tho salary that it is un
officially announced that Christy
Mathewson will receive from tho
New York club next year. It is tho
highest in tho history of baseball
outsldo of managers' and presidents'
salaries. Last year Mathewson re
ceived 10,000 and the $0,000 boost
was given by President Brush, It Is
said, without any solicitation.
Matliowson's work in tho post

Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 15. If the
advantage gained In the recent elec
tion Is used properly a Democrats
victory In the next national election is
to be expected, hut William J. Bryan
probably will not be the fortunate
presidential candidate. This opinion
was expressed by Mr. Bryan here.
"1 would not promise not to be a
candidate again," lie said, "but I ex
pet-t not to be."
Mr. Bryan stopped at tho depot n
short time on his way to his ranch In
Texas.
"A Democratic victory or defeat In
li)li! depends on congress," Mr. Bryan
said. "With Champ Clark as speakei
of the house I am hopeful that every
thing will go well. It Is too early to
speak of candidates. Folk of Missouri
Is one to be considered."

CROSSING A FUNERAL.
The Point at Which an Old Superttf.
tlon May Cease to Qovern.
"I don't suppose I'm moro supor
Utioua than most folks," said Mr.
Bandback, "yot I novor cross a
funoral. Thcro's an old superstition
that to do this brings bad luck. I
don't know whether I rofrnln becauso
of this foar or because crossing a
funoral, considering your own con
venlenco first In thus hurrying on,
seems to show n lack of tho propor
respoct duo tho mourners; but any
way I find mysolf Instinctively halting
when a funoral conies along nnd not
crossing ovor until It has passed,
though I do not always wait for the
very end of tho procession.
"Now as that draws near I look
along tho line and when I boo coming
a carrlago in which the mon aro sit
ting back comfortably smoking big
fat cigars, "why I figure that theso
men are not so really and truly mourn,
era but what If I am In a hurry I can
pass In front of thorn without falling
undor tho ban of tho superstition or
committing any Impropriety."
Importance of Deep Breathing.
Norvousnoss can bo cured by form
ing tho habit of breathing deop and
long, and one medical authority pro
scribes it in his scheduler for nervous
women. All singers are Invariably
high-cheated and freo from colds or
chronic coughing spells. It la because
they havo learned to breaths from
the waist Instead of the top of the
lungs, as the majority of people do.
To breathe deoply Is to stimulate the
heart and circulation. It means a
full, high chost, and broad shoulders.
It means practical Immunity from the
dangers Incurred by exposure. It
moans a good carriage and well-poised
head. And best of all, It means par
teat physical health.
Electric Mountain Air.
Dr. Saaka finds that the air six
thousand feet high in mountains Is
five times as radio-active as sea level
air, and points out that under this
state of electrical tension electricity
would have a decided attraction to
and affinity for the human body, and
might be the very reverse. Any one
sleeping in a dry wooden house In
the Rockies will tot an Instant thrill
of exhilaration when ha first sets foot
on the ground In tho morning. Static
mountain electricity In Colorado some
times scares a man silly. Tho hair
will stand straight on end, and a
man feels the fiery tongues licking
and lapping the whole body as he
makes a brilliant and sparkling run
from the tall timber to a lower levol.
8on of Respectable Parents.
A reference to tho late king "play
Ine wtth the Prince of Wales's chil
dren" reminds one that a pleasant un
derstanding existed between Prince
Edward of Wales and his grandfather,
it was the latter, who, having asked
what the boy had been reading In his
history one morning, received tho re
ply: "Oh, all about Pekln Warbeck."
And, In answer to a request for still
moro information. "He pretended ho
was tho son of a king, but he wasn't.
Ho wns the son of respectable par
wits." London Globe.

Kissing the Dying.
To kiss the dying was long consid
ered a gift of strength to the kisser,
and among tho Romans tho nearest of
kin was supposed to kiss tho expiring
one In order to receive the soul as it
escaped the body. To this day the
same custom Is maintained among
the European Jews and at tho death
of a czar of Russia. Tho Smart Sot.
