A SIMPLE method of postal delivery is
said to prevail in a Spanish provincial
town. Those who expect letters come
to the postotfice and form queue. The
postmaster then hands all the letters he
has received, in basket, to the first
conner, who looks through them leisure
ly, takes his own, if any, and passes the
basket to the person Immediately behind
him, and this goes on until the basket is
emptied or the queue exhausted.

AN exhibition of the phonograph was
advertised as a part of the benefit per-
formance in the Grand Opera house,
San Francisco. Sol Smith Russell made
an address explanatory of Edison's in
vention, and then box was placed on
the table. Russell turned a crank, and
from the box came talk in tones like
those of various public men well known
in the city. The audience soon discov-
cred that an actor, concealed under the
table, was giving limitations. Almost q
riot ensued, the people refumg to view
the deception as good joke.
