MISSIVES LONG IN TRANSIT
Correspondence Sent From Paris Dur
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,>, 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 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
Qermans in 1870 the postofflce 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
Qermans, 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
Qermans 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 QeorgeB, 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 queer 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 oolors of the British army are
made, of silk, with gold-fringed edges
and cords anq tassels or crimson ana
gold, mounted on a staff eight feet
seven Inches long.
To Insure their absolute correctness
In matters of detail and pattern, an
official of the Heralds’ College acts
ss "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 .ihe union

ter has a wreath of roses, shamrock*
and thistles. with the regiment’s mow
and crest, surrounded by a list of thh
various battles in which it has taken
part. 9 i
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 Borden
were killed while endeavoring to pre
sent the. colors, of which they had
charge, fi m falling Into the hands of
the enemy at the battle of Isandhl

On a writ of error to the supreme
court of one of the territories, counsel
lor plaintiff la error sharply criticised
the rulings of the trial Judge. Whop
the counsel for the. defendant In errot
began his reply, the .following took
place: .
•*jlsy It pleas* your honors, before 1
finish my argument, I think I can show
you that the trial Judge was not aa
crasy as counsel on the other side
would make him out to be.”
By a member of tbe 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 oan go to see your
other patients at night," she com
plaiued, “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.”
