MISSIVES LONG IN TRANSIT
Correspondence Sent From Paris OUin
ing Siege Took Years 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
300 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 posaCMe 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 Villeneuve Saint Georges, a net of
their own and effectually stopped this
system of postal communication.
The zinc balls and their use wer*
pretty nearly forgotten, when, some
years ago, a fisherman found In the
Seine, near Villeneuve, a Queer looking
globe of zinc. With a large knife he
opened It, and found 300 letters, still
legibile, and all dated December, 1870. i
They were delivered to the postal au
thorities, and after this long wait In
the ri^er went on their way.—The
Sunday Magazine.
COLORS NOT DUHIMh IN WAK
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
■even inches long.
To insure their absolute correctness
in 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 blue 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 j
part /
' Regimental colors are no longer car*
rled into action, but are now left be
hind at headquarters when a battalion
proceeds on service. This has bean
the rule since the Boer war in 1881. A
coyple 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, f u falling ii •> the hands of
the enemy at the battle of Is&ndhl
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 ol
the hedges, so sweet and so unre
strained.
Hla 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 fc\ s,
he finds amusement for every waking
hour in watching the passing show. He
is the honored guest at every family
picnic. No matter what the hour or
the weather, he is 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 criticised
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 i
would make him out to be.”
By a member of the court: “Let me
understand you; you admit the fact ol

Gentle, but Pointed.
A young practitioner had one trail- j
