REGISTERED LETTERS. AN ex-
change says " What is the difference
between registered letter and any
other ? The difference is that regis.
tered letter does not go in the mall
proper, It passes from hand to hand
outside Of the mail pouches, every
person through whose hands It passes
being required to sign a receipt for 1t
en- receiving it, and secure a receipt
for it on passing IL over 10 the next
transit The person holding the last
receipt is thus always able TO show
who Is accountable for its loss. The
responsibility rests upon the man
who has signed . receipt for the regis
tered package, and who is not able to
produce the package or a receipt from
somebody else for It. The safest way
TO send money Is by money order
Where II does not go to q money
order Office 1t should always be sent
in . registered package. Money
ought not 70 be sent in an ordinary
letter under any Circumstance. There
Is no possible way Of "tracking such
o letter. w lsa a8a ~"

LOVES ICY TEST.

The other evening as a patient po-
llceman was pacing his beat on How
ard street a young man passed him
and ran up flight Of stone steps and
rang the bell. The officer heard the
door open, u youAg lady's voice sing
out, and he said TO himself:
otis loves young dFean.n
He was just moving on when an
other young man approached, looked
up ut the house, and In sheeplsh
way asked the officer II he had seen
any one 20 in. He was informed Of
what had occurred u moment before,
and he gasped;
at was that sneakIng chap from
Cuss avenue"
He walked en-, and the officer
walked, but 10 minutes later the
young man climbed the stone steps
with u pail OF water In HIS hand and
emptied itscontents on very stone. He
was sitting ON the horse block oppO-
site rs the officer came back, mean
ing 10 stay there until his plan un-
folded or until he froze to death, He
didn't freeze. In about 10 minutes
the door opposite opened, two voices
were heuId for moment, and then
the young man from Cass avenue
came down the steps on his ear, his
elbow, his shoulderblade, his heel, or
on most any ether part Of the human
mnke-uP. He struck the sidewalk,
and shot across 1t to the gutter, and
came to stand-stiil with his head In
the snow. There was a peal Of
laughter from the house as the door
shut, aud the watcher on the horse
block chuckled and remarked:
aThat heartless laugh was not ut
tered by woman who loves-lim
hunkyl"
Five minutes later he carefully
crawled up the Icy steps and the
good policeman heard him cordially
greeted, aud mused:

about forty years ago, IN elderly
man, living IN Western Connecticut,
who had sadly reduced his estate by
lhabIts of intempeTanee, found him
self thfaatened with an execution for
debt which would deprive him Of his
old home, and leave him In frlendless
poverty. His daughters, with one
exception, had grown aud gone
away, thS 0nG remaining at home

quite lnfirm. That his needy, hut

sorrow that sobered him now.d haa
There was q mortgage OF eleven
hundred dollars on his place, and the
holder wanted his money and would
not wait In vain the aged debtor
had begged for q little extension Of
time. The creditor had no sympathy
for a borrower who had made and kept
himself poor by his own vices.
On the morning OF the day when
the mortgage was to he iOrselosed,
the unhappy old man, uubeknown to
his family, TO whom he had never
told the desperate state of affairs,
called ut the Office of the lawyer who
had the business In charge, and made
one more pitlfGl appeal But nothing
could be done for him, and, certain Rt
last that the threatened blow must

overcome. The lawyer, who could
not help feeling some compassion for
his misery, did not disturb him; and
no sat there two hours like ono
stunned. At the end Of that time, a
carriage drove hastily to the door,
