Freaks Of the telegraph.

Names are always great stumbling
block to the clerks, and addresses are
composed of names. Most Of us have
tricks of writing names in any but a
distinct fashion; and, although the post
office persistently reminds ua, on the
forms given us to write our kilograms
on, that the writing should be plain,
this advice, like most other advice is
but too often neglected. Hence many
kilograms get altogether astray, some
times to the not slight discontinue Of
those into whose hands they fall, and
who, unwitting that any error has been
made, forthwith net upon them. 1t il
related that woman residing in some
small street in Manchester once re-
ceived what appeared to be summons
from her husband to como up to him in
London. Very much alarmed, she at
once started. On her way size got in
conversation with another woman who
was in the same carriage, and who she
found was also going to see her husband,
who was in London ill. This woman
had been expecting to receive tele-
gram from her husband, and, not hear
ing, had grown anxious, and had finally
set off without the telegram. Further
parley revealed the fact that their names
were the same; that their husbands
names were the same ; that they both
lived in thesame quarter i'll Manchester; /;
and it finally transpired that the tele-
gram which had been delivered TO the
first woman was the very one which the
second had been waiting ior-the error
in delivery having been caused by some

The Siberian plague, disease be-

ragged in Egypt before the Exodus Of
