MISSIVES LONG IN TRANSIT
Correspondence Sent From Paris Djr
ing Siege Took Year% to Reach
the Consignees.
What would Americans say if they
received mail matter that had been de
layed in transit for a lifetime? In
France, a few years ag.j, letters for
301) persons were delivered—to as
many of the addressees as were liv
ing—that had been mailed years be
fore. They were delivered, moreover,
at the earliest possible moment; al
though the distance between the send
er and the receiver was in many cases
only a few miles
During the siege of Paris by the
Germans in 1870 the postoffice admin
istration hit upon the expedient, in ad
dition to the balloons, of inclosing let
ters in small zinc globes, water tight
and hermetically sealed, and dropping
them into the Seine. There they float
ed, if they were not captured by the
Germans, down the river to the French
lines, where a net stretched across
the river gathered them in, and they
were sent on their way.
Unfortunately for the French, the
Germans discovered the character of
these zinc floats, and as they could not
hope to see and fish out by ordinary
means all the letters that went down
thus, they stretched across the river,
at Villetieuve Saint Georges, a net of
their own and effectually stopped this
system of postal communication.
The zinc balls and their use were
pretty nearly forgotten, when, some
years ago, a fisherman found in the
Seine, near Villeneuve, a oueer looking
globe of zinc. With a large knife he
opened it, and found 300 letters, still
legibile, and all dated December, 1870.
They were delivered to the postal au
thorities, and after this long wait in
the river went on their way.—The
Sunday Magazine.
COLORS NOT BORNE IN WAR
British Troops Go Into Action With
out the Inspiration of the Regi
mental Colors.
The colors of the British army are
made of silk, with gold-fringed edges
and cords and tassels of crimson and
gold, mounted on a staff eight feet
seven inches long.
To insure their absolute correctness
tn matters of detail and pattern, an
official of the Heralds’ College acts
as “inspector of colors.” He has to
furnish drawings and designs, and is
responsible that an unauthorized de
parture is made from them.
Every infantry battalion has two
colors—“the wing’s" and “the regi
mental.” The former is always of the
same pattern, and shows the union
jack on a hJue ground, while the lat
ter has a wreath of roses, shamrocks
and thistles' with the regiment's motto
and crest, surrounded by a list of the
various battles in which it has taken
part.
Regimental colors are no longer car
ried into action, but are now left be
hind at headquarters when a battalion
proceeds on service. This has been
the rule since the Boer war in 1881. A
couple of years earlier two young offi
cers of the South Wales Borders
were killed while endeavoring to pre
vent the colors, of which they had
charge, from falling into the hands of
the enemy at the battle of Isandhl
wana.
Japanese Like Other Babies.
There Is a mistaken but popular be
lief that a Japanese baby never cries.
There is really no reason why he
should. Replete with nourishment
and rarely denied a wish, he blossoms
like a wild rose on the sunny side of
the hedges, so sweet and so unre
strained.
His life is full of rich and varied in
terests. From his second day on
earth, tied safely to his mother's
back under an overcoat made for tvo,
he finds amusement for every waking
hour in watching the passing show. He
is the honored guest at every family
Wn matter what tflA h nil r nr
the weather, he la the active member
In all that concerns the household
amusements or work.
From his perch he participates in
the life of the neighborhood, and is a
part of all the merry festivals, that
turn the streets into fairyland. Later,
his playground is the gay market place
or the dim old temples.—Francis Lit
tle, in the Century Magazine.
Question of Degree.
On a writ of error to the supreme
court of one of the territories, counsel
for plaintiff in error sharply criticized
the rulings of the trial Judge. When
the counsel for the defendant in erroi
began his reply, the following took
place:
“May it please your honors, before 1
finish my argument, I think I can show
you that the trial judge was not as
crazy as counsel on the other side
would make him out to be.”
By a member of the court: "Let me
understand you; you admit the fact ol
insanity of the trial judge, but deny
its degree?”—Case and Comment.
Gentle, but Pointed.
A young practitioner had one trou
blesome patient—an old woman who
was practically on the free list, but
who registered more kicks than all
the other patients put together. One
day she called to roast him for not
showing up when she called him the
night before. “You can go to see youi
other patients at night,” she com
plained, “so why can’t you come when
I send for you? ? Ain’t my money as
good as the money that them rich
people pay you?” “I don’t know,
ma’am,” answered the doctor, gently.
“I have never seen any of yours.”
HINKS iNVIGGRATION IS IN AIR

VTiter’s Explanation of Vital Differ
ence Between the Londoner
and the New Yorker.
"The difference between New
York and London." a man once said
ro me, “is this: In New York, if you
have a new idea, you can get it car
ried out. at once; In London, if you
have a npw idea, you are up against
a brick wall “
I believe this to be true, writes
Maurice Haring in the Metropolitan.
People in New York, and in America
in general, are not afraid of new
ideas, nor, indeed, of anything new-.
They are not afraid of the future In
England. If a man finds, for instance,
that, his profession is uncongenial to
him, however certain he may be of
the impossibility of his making a suc
cess of ft, he will none the less very
rarely give it up, and try tils hand
at something else The future alarms
him in America a man will think
nothing of throwing up his profession
twenty rimes running, until he finds
something which does suit him
I think the cause of this particular
difference lies in the climate of Amer
ica, and especially lies in the climate
of New York. Just as the climate of
some places fills the whole system
with an invincible desire to do noth
ing, with an insuperagle languor and
sloth, in the same way the climate
of New York fills the body and mind
with the desire to be up and about.
It is the nimble air which produces
the nimble wits; the stimulating at
mosphere which creates, in the deni
zen of New York, the love of bustle,
hurry competition and work. I am
not saying this is either a good thing
or a bad thing—I am merely noting
and recording what, struck me as be
ing the main differences between New
York and London.
WILL GET MONEY NEXT TIME
Little Likelihood That Mr*. Crabbe
Will Have Opportunity to Cash
Hubby’s Check Again.
“Henry,” said Mtb Crabbe, “don’t
you never give me another check to
cash. Always gi-e me the money after
•this, please."
“Why, what was the matter with the
check?”
“Nothing was wrong with the check,
but the cashier didn't want to take it,
and said I had to be i entified. I told
him my name was Mrs. Crabbe, and
asked him if he didn't see it on the
long line, but he just shook his head,
and said \ had to find some one who
knew me."
"And who did you find?”
“No one. I asked him if ha didn’t
know you.”
“What did he say?" asked Mr.
Crabbe, eagerly, but with modesty.
"He said. Of course i know him.'”
“And then he cashed it.” said. Mr.
Crabbe, his chest expanding visibly.
“Not right then. He asked me to de
scribe you."
“Of course that, was sufficient?"
“Yes. I told him you were a
sawed-off, hammered-down, bald-head
ed, pigeon-toed man, with a red mus
tache and a mole on your nose. That
you wore a fifteen collar and a ten
year-old blue suit, and that you held
on to a dime tighter than a letter
holds a glued postage stamp. I was
going into further details, but he
stopped me and said, ‘All right, Mrs.
Crabbe, just indorse the check on this
line, please.’ ”
As Koreans Shop.
Shopping in Korea is a very grave
and solemn task and occupies the mas
ter of the house the greater part of
the day. In the market here he pur
chases his provisions, cooking utensils,
linen suits, hate, sandals, tobacco, and
the native drink, a liquor obtained
from fermented rice.
Only one article of the same kind is
purchased from a single store. It
would be an offense against Korean
oHnnpttp tn huv a dozen at a time, as
this would deplete the stock too quick
ly and give the shopkeeper the trou
ble and work of restocking before he
was ready! It will therefore be seen
that wholesale orders are not wel
Qomed In this odd country; “little and
often” appears to be the golden rule
in buying.—Wide World Magazine.
Four Perfect Women.
The prophet Mahomet Is reported
to have said that “among men there
have been many perfect, but not
more than four of the other sex have
attained perfection—to wit: Asiah,
Mary, Khadijah and Fatima." Asiah
wad the wife of the Pharaoh of the
Exodus. She forsook the faith of her
fathers, on account of which her hUB
band subjected her to many cruelties.
The Virgin Mary was the second
perfect woman, the prophet stating
that “she had been exalted above all
the women of the world.” Khadijah
was the flrat wife of the prophet, “a
princess among women." Fatima, ac
cording to Mahomet, was the fourth
perfect woman, she being his beloved
daughter.

“Well, I should say never put off
