Roasts! Tiiai is a newspaper word j

The reporter must have a ward that

Parkhurst. It. looks like everybody and 1
everything has to prey on something. !

What a redeeming trait in

mitted that he he i never been south ;
before. They kn >\. loss about us than
they do about tire French or the G.r- j

nothing atnm.1. the negro. One of ih -m .
remarked: 'These negroes seem to be !

A R^pid Postal Service.
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.
