HAMPTON COURT FROM THE RIVER. Photo : Pictorial Agency. WAITING FOR THE TRAIN. Here are two Post Office servants fixing abag of letters to the mail post on the NorthWestern Railway Companys line. In thedistance is heard the hum of the racing train,and from the side of the mail van a net is letdown which strikes the bag from its supportsand swallows it through a door. A few momentslater, after an exciting struggle with the in-truding bag, which jlies in and reboundserratically with tremendous velocity, thesorters will have emptied it of its contents andwill be sorting the letters en route. A greatdeal of skill is required on the part of the manwho lowers the net. A minute too early, andit may strike an obstruction or be lowered in atunnel, in which case the side of the van wouldbe torn out; a moment too late, and the bag isgone past recall. At night he depends almostentirely upon his ear, and can tell by soundwith his eyes closed almost to a yard the posi-tion of the train. SAVES TIME
