J OPENING LETTERS. OME SECRETS OF THE ENGLISH GEN ERAL POSTOFHCE. AMall4 Wltk the - testa C el CaaMalellmaY. rrtvat Teata WfcUk FaUL. It Is foraetfbat remarkable fact that tbe grneral of England kcowt rerj little concerning tbe secret ferric of tbe gtneral roetodce, 1 tbotigb tbe eerrice It probatlj tbe meet ccraplete cf ita kind in tbe whole world. To tbe outsider tbe secret eerrice la known as tbe rostal secret inquiry branch, and not one in a hundred cf tbo in tbe exarloy of tbe pcetofSce knows tbe exact workings cf the secret acrrice, as tbe department bat tbe dis tinction cf being In tbe charge cf cer tain permanent oEciala, nnder tbe di rection cf tbe home secretary and tbe prime minbter for the time being. Once, and once only, in recent years has a minister of tbe gorernmcnt allow ed blmptlf to be drawn into making a statement which admitted tbit tbe s cre UTf "the pretoffice were "cd for po litical purposes. Socb an admindon waa made in tbe daya of the first dynamite scare, when an Irih member made a general charge against the gorernment of tampering with tbe correepondence cf certain Irish men. Lord John Manners, in reply, evaded the question in an ainbignons manner, tot indijicreetly called atten tion to a clanse in the poetcfflce act which empowers the postal autboritU-s to open and eren ccntcaxe any lener cr package which they might reasona bly rocpect corerwl tome infringement cf the rales of the department. Tbe secret serf ice ia divided into two distinct tranches, tbe higher and tbe lower, and the duties of the Litter are t rtrc gbt to the notice of the public Tery frrjoently. as it has todo with tbe proe c ml Ion cf dishonest men in tbe em ploy of tbe postoffice. Tbe great balk of tbe robberiea committed inside tbe walls cf the postofflce ia attempted by the younger hands and it is fur that reason that every newecroer Is occasion ally robjected to keen watching from a quarter that he leaet s aspect. Quite unknown to him. he is kept nn ' der the observation of a keen eyed watcher, who la eectmly hidden from view in a secret alcove, almost within touch cf tb porter, mejwenjcer or what ever tbe eraj.!oTe may be. Every move ment is noted and analjzed. and it would take a very expert man to try oa any underhand .d game and escape de tection. On tbe continent tbe correspondence cf private individuals is liable to the acrutinycf tbe police cr other govern ment agent. and no secret is made of , tbe fact: but.cn tbe other hand, our cillcials rite indignant letters cf de nial and repudiation, while all the time they are perfecting the fine art cf c pen in? letters without leaving any traces cf tbe cperat ion Like most clever art, that of opening a letter without cauin; suspicion is implicit it.eif. A glance at tbe qual ity cf tbe stationery decides the opera te r on the means to be adopted. Some kinds cf paper will bear tbe steaming procrsa without Iraving any traces, and in that event the operation ia very simple. The contents having been ex amined, and. if necessary, copied, they re restored to their envelope, which is regummed. the flap burnished with a bone instrument. Contrary to general belief, the sealed envelope presents no difficulty to tho ex pert. A piece cf new bread, kneaded in to a firm ball, is pressed on the seal and the facsimile ia obtained. Various other methods have been attempted in taking the design of seals, but the cne we have quoted has been declared to be far away the best for the purpose, the bread be ing clean and less liable to leave any trace of tampering behind This dough matrix is hardened as soon as the seal has been modeled, and when tbe con tents of the letter have been obtained the envelope is dceed and reseated with the dough mold. When it is deemed nnsafe to moisten an envelope, it ia cut open. The opera tion ia a delicate one and to any bat an expert very difficult to perform prop erly. One end of the envelope ia held firmly between two fiat pieces of wood, tbe edge cf tbe paper projecting about the twentieth part of an inch. The ex . P" passes the back of his knife rapidly over tbe end. roughening and flattening it. while an equally quick pass with the raiorlike edge cuts the envelope open. When the contents are replaced, tbe edescf the envelope are stuck together with a hairline cf powerful gum. rub tuitted to pressure for a few minutes, and no ens cot in tbs secret would guess what had been done. So long aa tbe flap and seal appear intact the receiver is invariably satis fied Now and then surpicious corre spondents place sand.' powder, hairs or other minute objects inside tbe envelops by way of test, but this does not trou ble tbe expert a little bit lie is on the lockout for that kind of dodge, so is careful to open the envelope over a large shett cf pure white paper. When these 'testa fall out. they are careful ly collected and restored The official in tbe detective depart ment can tell some funny stories of their own astuteness. When tho charge cf tampering was made by the Irbh member, one of tbe Moderate party de fended the government and declared thr.t he had satisfied himself by a series cf infallible tets that his correspond ence was inviolate. lie was blissfully i0Tu rant of the fact, however, that he never received a letter that was net previously overhauled by the authori ties.

When at last the cannon began to thunder and tbe wild cries of the battle penetrated tbe city, I laid my sword ready, determined, should this last hope be destroyed, to put an end to my Ufa When finally the noise of the cannon ceased and tbe victor Kitch ener stood before-me, congratulating me on my release. I thought I should suffocate with emotion. The next day I made my toilet In an officer's tent and held in my band the first looking glass I bad seen for 15 years. I looked curiously at my reflec tion in it and etarted back. I bad gone out into the world a young, active strong man. and the image which now stared at me was that of a sick, hollow eyed, wrinkled, broken man. Never did all that I had suffered enter my mind with snch strength as at this moment, and I wept, wept like a child the first tears in 15 years 1 The day after I was made a prisoner I saw my wife die, tnt my grief waa too great for tbe relief of tears. My child was torn from me and died of starvation far away, and I coold not weep. I suffered deprivations and ill treatment without a sign of weakness, bat now, before this small looking glass, I was overwhelmed. The pain of all that I bad lost seemed concentrated, in the grief stricken features reflected in the mirror. At one glance I saw tbe story of my sufferings." ADDERS FOND OF EGGS.

Little Reptiles TVItk Remarkable Swallowing; Ability- Among a lot cf very interesting speci mens of prepared animals sent to the Museum of Natural History at Paris by Father Guilleme. a missionary in the upper Kongo country, there is one group of native adders, in the act of swallow ing eggs, which excited uncommon in terest. The most remarkable part of it is tbe relative size of this snake and its common focd. This adder is rather small; it is seldom lopger than 28 inch es, and its thickness never exceeds an inch. Yet it feeds regularly on duck eggs, the smaller diameter of which is almost two inches. How tbe snake can get such an egg into ita mouth is difficult to understand, and the aspect of these reptiles while swallowing tbe 'eggs is most strange The only way to account for this pe culiar "manner of swallowing whole eggs is the presence in the neck, just back of the head, of a series of pointed bones slanted backward and piercing the esophagus. These not only assist to hold tbe egg in place, but act like a saw. Wben'the'egg has advanced far enough, their pressure will cut the egg; its contents will continue into the stom ach, while the empty shell is crushed afterward and thrown out through the mouth. While in the act of swallowing the egg the snake is easily caught, for it is then almost in a etate of complete in ertia; it then looks very much like the bulb as used by photographers for open ing their shatters and should be kept on band. Dissolve 20 pounds of common salt and ten pounds of nitrate of ammonia in seven gallons of water. Poor this into quart bottles of thin glass and fire grenades are at hand ready for dse. These bot tles must be tightly corked and sealed to prevent evaporation, and in case cf fire they must be thrown near the flames, so as to break and liberate the gas contained. At least two dozen of these bottles should be ready for an emergency. In this connection it is well to re member that-water on burning oil scat ters the flame, "but that flour will ex tinguish it gait thrown upon a fire if the chimney is burning will help to deaden the blaze. If a fire once gets under headway and prompt exit be comes a necee&ity, a silk handkerchief dipped in water and wrapped about the mouth and nostrils will prevent suffoca tion from smoke; failing this, a piece of wet flannel will answer. Should smoke fill the room, recall your pbysics--rcmember that smoke goes first to the top of the room and last to the floor. Wrap a blanket or woolen garment about yon, with the wet cloth over your face, drop on ycur bands and knees and crawl to the win dew. Bear in mind that there is no more danger in getting down from a three story window than from the first floor if you keep a firm hold of the rope or ladder. Do not slide, but go hand over band. New York Tribune Knew II lm and Didn't IvntfW llim. A young couple called at a fashion able boarding house in the west end to engage board. They were frcm Chi cago, and the husband had recently secured an appointment in one of the departments. The landlady, an amiable and pretty, if a trifle faded, little wom an, showed the couple the vacant rooms, and one of them was finally accepted. 'Now, you'll want references, of course," said the young' wife after the terms had been fixed. Then she men tioned the name of a Washington man of some prominence. 'You know him, or cf him. I pre sume?" she inquired. "He is my hus band's uncle." Well, " replied the landlady, "I can not -precisely say that I know him. No body ever really knew him. He's some thing of a mystery. Now, I was mar ried to him .for 12 years, and at the conclusion of that period, when I se cured my divorce, I don't think I could have conscientiously placed my hand over my heart and declared that I actu ally knew him. Some men are so dif3- nlt in trot, ocnnaintpd vritfl vnn tnnW. " The situation was & bit embarrass- j ing, but the young couple took the room J they had decided upon anyhow. Wash-1 ington Post.

I knew What was np at once and knew that I was gone. As I stood there with that horri ble sand dragging at me like some liv ing monster I turned colder and cold er. Do what I could my teeth would keep on clattering, though I knew that every vibration of my jaw was shaking me farther down into that ready made grave. Suddenly I noticed that I had stopped sinking."

A committee of experts caref ally ex amined the instrument and pronounced it a Stradivarius. So far Mr. Gemun der's triumph was complete. But now came a difficulty.
