MISSIVES LONQ IN TRANSIT
Correspondence Sent From Paris Dtir*
Ing Siege Took Years to Reach
the Consignees. *
What would Americans say If they
received mail matter that had been de
layed la transit tor a lifetime? In
France, a tew years ago, letters tor
•00 persons were delivered- to as
many of the addressees as wen Br
ing—that bad beea mailed years he
fore. They were delivered, moreover,
st the earliest possible moment; al
though the distance between the send
er and the receiver waa la assay eases
only s few miles.
I Daring the siege of Paris hr the
Oermsas la 18T0 the poetoffloe admin
istration hit upon the expedient, la ad
dition to the balloons, of inclosing let
ters In small lino globes, water tight
and hermetically sealed, and dropping
them into the Seine. There they float
ed, if they were not.oaptured by the
German%.dowa the Aver 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 slao floats, and as thsy oonld aot
hope to see and fish oat by ordinary
meana all the letters that went down
thns, they stretched across the river,
! at VUlenenve Saint Georges, a set of
their own and effectually stopped this
system of poetal communication.
I The sine balls and their use were
'•pretty nearly forgotten. Whoa, some
years- ago, a fisherman found la the
Seine, near Vllleneuve, a queer looking
globe of aino. With a large knife he
opened It, and found >OO letters, still
leglbile, and all dated December, IS7O.
i They were delivered to the poetal aa
thoritlee, and after this long wait In

Qeneral Hugo'a memoirs tall ths
Story of his campaign agalnat Fra Dl
avolo, alias Michael Pessa, the Italian
.brigand who fought for the Bourbona
agalnat Napoleon. The general trans
forms his adversary Into a kind of
hero and puta hla personal proweaa In
euch a dramatic Ught that bis son, the
poet Victor Hugo, found It neceesary
to add little or nothing to the account
to raise It to the level of sn epic,
i However, M. Jacques Rambaud pub
llahss In the Revue de Paris some new
documents which reduce this .campaign
to more prosslc proportions. These
documents are the very letters written
by Commandant Hugp, the future gen
eral, to Caesar Berthler, his command
er-in-chief, aa well as the formal report
of hla operations drawn up at Naplee
on November 4, 1808.
In hla memoirs Hugo from the outset
affects a wonderful confidence; bis
letters prove that he waa mightily
perplexed how to deal with an enemy
with .whom the whole population was
in sympathy.* and he frankly confeoees
that In the work of conquest ho looks
rather to bribery and treachery than
to force of arms.
I His memoirs describe a real battle,
the light at Bojano, In which his sol
diers at* repreaented as msktng 80
prisoners after killing or drowning
hundreda of brlganda. Hla letters are
toore mod eat and speak only of a aklr
mlah In which "several" brigands ware
1 killed and only six were taken prison
era. There ia, top. In theae letters
nothing about the shot in his right leg
i which ha afterword mentions In his
- msmolrs; on ths contrary, he eeema to
' have moved about with remarkable
- agility.

In a big rubber factory a little while
ago there was a chemist who thought
that he could obtain sulphur, which te
needed in the manufacturing carried
on In this plant, from old rubber. The
sulphur used cost a tew cents a
pound. The chemist finally perfected
a method of extracting sulphur from,
the old rubber, and he submitted bis
method to the factory heads.
It was a perfect method. The »ul-
I phur was perfect sulphur. But the
method necessitated the expenditure
of a couple of dollars for every pound
of aulphur saved. And the factory '
heads, remembering that sulphur cost
only a few cents a pound, refused to
consider the young man's plan. 1 ,

FAST THIP THROUGH BRITAIN
Itinerary Enable* Tourist. If Ha
Wlahea, to "Do" the lalrfnde In
the Couree of Sevan Day*.
How to "do" the British Isles in a
week Is the latest scheme for hostlers.
A dash around London, a flying de
| scent on one or two cathedral cities,
a race through Bdotiand and a glance
at Klliarney—this what ia open to
those who want to see the country
in a hurry. Tourist agents say that
, the idea Is catching on with Amerl-
I cans. Indeed It was an American who
1 first suggested It.
' Assuming that the tourist begins
his trip on Monday, he devotes that
day to the show places of London,
winding up with a theater In the eve
ning. On Thursday he goes to Wind
-1 sor and Hampton Court and on his
return to London has time to go to a
music hall. On Wednesday he leavea
London for Peterborough, sees the
cathedral gets to York at three
o'clock.
At York the tourist has plenty of
time to visit the Minster and other
• historic buildings before catching the
6:16 train to Hamburgh. He-coaches
through the Trossacha and takes
steamer through Loch Katrine and
Loch Lomond. Then the train to
Glasgow.
i After dinner the hustler takes the
night train out of Qlaagow by way of
Androssan to Belfast, reaches Dublin
In the afternoon and takes the night
1 train to Klliarney.

WENT DEEPLY INTO DETAILS
Identification That Undoubtedly Was
Complste, but Could by No Means
Be Called Complimentary.
Stephen Haegen, manager of »
Harlem bank, at a dinner recently told
the following anecdote: Many years
ago, while spending a vacation In ft
city In the upper part of the state, ha
visited some friends in a bank. While
there be saw a severe-looking woman
. move up to the teller's window and
request that a a mall check be cashed.
, She aaked the man in the cage to
call up the person from whom she had
received the check and he would Iden
tify her.
I The teller called up the man and
' asked him to describe the woman. He
did so in the following manner: "She
looked like the crankiest person In
the world. She waa dreaaed In tb«
fashion of about five years ago. 1:
think she Is an old cat. She wore a j
blue straw hat, but then it may be |
green, and I think she paints. She ,
I wore two fake diamond rings. Oootf
by, old man."
Trse-Bsrk Blankets.
They have trees for blanketa tat
Ecuador, and they like them, too.
They are fond of the Arm touch ot
1 the bark against them aa thay
Bleep.
We would probably think they
I were "aero In covering," and wa
would doubtless wake up In a much
Bestlffened condition If we slept under
'a wood covering.
I But the native Indians are most
j enthusiastic, according to J. Jame
son, & traveler and lecturer, who
f has recently returned from those
parts.
| The blankets aio made from the
' bark of ft tree which ia cut particular
ly thin. It Is pounded and moistened
and then pounded Komi! more and put
out Into the sun to dry. And a most
desirable and economical blanket It Is,
lasting anywheres from two to five
years.
"His Goose Is Cooked."
I The expression, "his .goose Is cook'
•d," appears In various forms, and
means that his cause Is ruined. It
has some reference to the common j
but erroneous opinion that "goose" la
aynonymoua with "fool." The Idea
has crept Into more than one languago
and "will not down." It Is generally
understood that "cooking his goose" Is
a phrase which originated when tbe
king of Sweden, on approaching a hos
tile town, excited the contempt of the
Inhabitant* by the smallneaa of his
army. To express this they hung out
a goose for him to shoot at, whernup
on the king set Are to the town to
"cook their goose."
Proved Truth of Anavwr.
On ft visit to St. Louis, Archbishop
Ryan, a noted Philadelphia prelate,
rode in a carriage to the parochial
residence with Bishop Olenuon, who la
rather diminutive In alze and of alight
build, especially In the stomachic re
-1 gions, while Archbishop Kysn la tall
and very robuat. Aa they alighted from
tbe carriage. Archbishop Ryan aald to
hi* companion: "tllahop Olennon, I
once was aaked to explain the dlffar
• ence between ft blahop and an arch
blahop. I anawered" (and tbe arch
blahop extended bla arma In a semi
i circle from bla own healthy body, at
the same time glancing rather sharply
at Blahop Olennon), "The dlffernftC*
