THE SEALING OF LETTER is not so simple a
matter as might be imagined. At all times
great importance has been attached to the
operation, and 1t Is We'll known that the Greeks
took great care to close their missives in the
most secure manner possible. They first
inder somewhat f1attened, which they sur
rounded With narrow ribbon or a string to
carry the seal. The seal was made OF wax or
clay. The Romans employed the same prac-
t1ce, but used more precautions. They COM
menced by surrounding the rolled letter with
thick paper or skin, then run 1t through
with string, each end OF which was fixed to
pow dered chalk. Forgers and viOlatorS OF the
secrecy OF letters soon found q means OF de-
taching the seal by passing hot needle under
1t, and the art OF opening sealed letters was
carried to such perfection under Nero, that
new methods Of protecting the secrecy OF let
tiers had to be sought for. In France in the
earliest times common wax OF its ma tuTal color
wax was then successfully used, and the last
color has even been preserved to the present
time for certain official deeds drawn up on
parchment. About 1850 Partisan named
Rousseau invented the reSinou5 composition
called ci1'e d'Espagne, why, is not clear, which
has superseded all others. The use OF waters
dates from 1924, when the mode OF folding let
other was ADOPTED. The court, however, and
people OF fashion still retained the custom Of
attaching the sheets OF a letter by strip OF
paper or thread and secured with wax.
Lastly came the system OF envelopes, which Is
quite modern. AT the commencement OF the
century the government offices generally
tucked In the ends OF letters and rastene1
tlce was abandoned and large envelopes were
used.

HindOO Saints Tricks.
TOpdon GI0ha I

When lately returning from Bombay to H.
dore. Mahara1ah Holkar fell In with saiutly
OLD gentleman named JasaTanC Rao, OF whose
miraculous powers very strange tales are told.
One day the Wife OF wealthy native mer-
chant dropped her nose.ring while in the act
OF presenting cocoanut to The holy man. In
vain did he politely request the lady to pick up
her jewel; she vowed that she could not be
guilty OF such profanity after 1t had fallen of
Its own accord at his feet. So JasaWanu Rao
gave the ring to another woman who hap
pened to be standing BY and returned the
lions that on reaching home she was to bathe,
and then to break open the nut with her own
hands: These instructions being faithfully
carried out the lady was rewarded for her
p1ety oy finding her nose ornament inside the
cocoanut. Sucn is the tale as related by
correspondent OF Leading native journal who
evidently believes implicitly in It's truth. No
doubt, clever piece Of jugglery.
These sanity perSonage3 are often accom-
pllshed conjurors, and some Of their appliances
show remarkable ingenuity. One Of these is a
brass cup some three or four inches high, con-
tanning an upright figure OF Luchmee, with
her infant lying horizontally across her bent
arms. One foot OF the brass baby touches the
upper edge OF the cup. Luchmee stands on the
bottom. on water being poured In, the cup
fills gradually until the 1uld reaches the in.
fant's foot when miracle takes place. Out
runs the water from hole in the bottom OF
the cup underneath Luchmee's feet, but which
does not apparently penetrate to the inside.
and the stream never ceases for a moment
until every drop is drained out. There is
the infants foot touches the rim, but the odd
thing is that although the water only COM
mences to run out OF the bottom OF the cup
when it reaches this orifice, the flow continues
the only apparent exit from the cup. We be-
leve this ingenious apparatus Is much used In
some parts OF India to deIude the ignorant into
a belief In the miraculous powers Of wande..
