One of the queerest “institutions' of the national capital is the annua clearance sale of the dead letter office, in which avast accumulation of article! gone astray in the njuils is Hold to the highest bidder*. Tho auction hous< when* it is held in continually crowded with excited men, women and children, and beside it the bargain counters dur ing the holidays are as havens of rest, for when Uncle Ham goes into tho junk shop business great things are expect ed. As in the church fair radio, you pay a small amount of money and tru«t to luck to get hack more than its value. The articles, previously listed in a wholesale sort of way, are tied up in bundles of from three to a half dozen and "auctioned” for what they will bring, tho average bids ranging between 10 cents and a dollar, Nobody is permitted to examine the goods before purchasing, and no money is refunded to the dissatisfied. Every body hopes to pull a genuine plum from the pie in the shape of a diamond ring, a silk dress pattern or it silver teapot, and although comparative blanks are the rule, there is ulways tho possibility of a prize. For example, the auctioneer holds up one of these odd shaped bun tiles, listed "pictures, underwear, mu lie, cigars." Going—going—gone—for BO cents to a dapper young gentleman who was caught by tho word "cigar.” lie opens it on tho sjsjrt—an unwise thing to do if one objects to good n attired ridicule—and this Is what he llmls: Hix :igars, broken into bits with so strong an odor that one wonders how a sledge aammer could have douo it; underwear —a female 10 cent "jersey;” pictures— i collection of newspuper cuts designed for amusement of some small child. I'ho lot would Ixi dear at a quarter and a rif tiA nun i/> I 1m 1 .nfi'if In tho dead letter office proper—that iharnel house which swallows nearly aalf a fnillion missives every month—it is positively harrowing. More than 40 bushel* of photographs have accuma luted there, awuiting the annual crema tion. There aro tresses of hair enough :o stuff a dozen mattresses, gruudmoth irs’ silver locks and babies' golden earls, nany no doubt cut from dead brows, tnd small sums of money which poor ivorkmen send home to feed their wives tnd little ones, and servant girls save !rom their scanty wages for needy par ints—gone to Undo Ham's rich purse, dot becuuse the United Htates wants it, ant because the senders’ writing or or thography was beyond mortal ken. It is lord to realize that in this lund of icbools, at tiie dose of the nineteenth lontury, there aro so many people so ignorant or so careless as to send several millions of letters a your without stamps ir addresses or with addresses which no man can make out. People seem to be 10 intent on what goes into the letters [hat they forget all about the superscrip tion. It is estimated that $4,000,030 in Irafts and $80,000,000 in cosh is receiv ed every year through dead letters.—Ih lianapolis Journal. COST OF A TRAIN. me Expense Slid 1'roflU «f Travel on English Hallway I.lnes. IIow many people who travel in trains ever think of tho cost of running them? It will probably surprise most people who have traveled from London to Ed inburgh to know that every mile of the journey costs the railway company over half a crown. Tho cost of tho whole journey from tho English to the Hcotch capital is £00. Tho average cost of running a train in England is 2s. 7d. per mile, so that, tho fare being reckoned at Id. peg mile, a train with less than 81 passengers for each mile is run at a loss. There are • WTI UVUVIVt) VilUV UW more than this number of passenger*, and many of them cany the number doubled many times over. It is neces sary frequently to run trains that do not pay—usually in thinly inhabited coun try districts—but for every train run at a loss probably 100 are run at an enor mous profit. Take, for instance, the journey from London to Edinburgh, which costs the railway company £50. The average number of “through” passengers in these trains is probably 60, in which case the total fares would be nearly £100—a clear gain of nearly £50. When it ia remembered that these trains run several times a day, and every day in the year, it will ho understood what an enormous revenue a single line yields in the course of 12 months. Happening th average number of passenger* to I si 60, the midnight train from London to Ed inburgh yield* over £20,000 for divi dend in a yearI The longest railway journey in the I'm led Kingdom Would probably let from lVmtanee, in Cornwall, to Thurso, in the north of .Sc, it land, a distance of over 1,000 miles. <\ train running Is two'ii these two place* would eshaust an ordinary clerk's salary for a whole year, the cost t*-ing no lea* than lias — L'lidori Tit Hit*. 1* tlK>* TrOk.
