Lettrrn lii England Sot PrtvBto,
V .m cannot regard uuy letter you
may send through- the post as belug
friv ate. The government has a legal
riulit to open any letter or parcel pass
ing through ilii- post u ud is also en
tilled, of course, to use auy Informa
tion thus obtained in furtherance of
the interests of the law. At oue time
the otlicial and secret opening of "pri
vate" letters was of such common oc
currence that postoffice employees were
sent to France to take lessons from an
expert in the art of opening and re
settling letters. In 1812 the postmas
ters of Manchester, Nottingham and
Glasgow were Instructed to "open all
such letters as should appear to be of
a suspicious nature and likely to cou
vey seditious information." and so re
cently as tit ty years ago there was an
agitation to deprive the government
of the right to open letters passing
through the post. The agitatiou failed,
however, so that your letters are still
liable to be opened, and the law would
be on the side of the official opener.?

When the Australian aborigine Is

catelies snakes for food. With his won
derful brown eyes he can see the faint
est trail where a snake has zigzagged
through the dry moss and leaves. At
nighttime his broad nostrils take up
Uie chase, und. stooping down among
the bushes, with a tough forked stick
in his hand to support him, he follows
the track as unerringly as a blood
hound. When he runs a snake to earth,
If he cannot surprise it in the open and
kill it by a sudden blow of his stick,
he squats over Its hole, makiug a low
hissing or whistling sound with his
lips. Soon the snake puts its head out
of the hole and peers round. In an in
stant the forked stick descends and
fixes it to the ground by the neck, and
the black fellow, seizing It behind the
head, so that it cannot bite him, drags
It out of the hole and either twists its
head off or pounds it on the ground
till its back Is broken.

the valley will be taken for Railroad pnr|>oses, Factories, Machine Shops and
Faim Sites and become very valuable. NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY.
