That the postal service of Berlin has long been the model (as yet unattainable) for the rest of Europe is well known. But it is not equally matter of common knowledge that the excellence of tho Berlin postal arrangements of yesterday no longer satisfies the postal authorities of to-day. The latest innovation has been a still more frequent clearing of the letter-boxes and a more rapid delivery than ever. The lettpr-boxes in the principal thor oughfares are now cleared every fifteen minutes during the busy hours of the day. The rapidity of delivery of letters recently even resulted in the saving of a human life. A girl determined to commit suicide, wrote to her parents of her intention and posted the letter, which was delivered within an hour of being posted. This enabled the father to* lnirry olf in a cab to the spot in the Thiergarten which his daughter had mentioned as that where her body would oe found, to catch her alive, box her ears, and tnhe Iter home. ?Sidney Whitman, in Harper's Magazine.
