RUSSIAN POSTAL SYSTEM.

In Russia letter may be opened
in its passage through the post Office
by anybody and everybody. 1t is
true that acts Of this kind usually
have the will of a Minister for their
authority. 1t is also well known
that certain times and seasons are
chosen for pryiDg into correspondence
for scraps of sedition and threads of
conspiracy. But it is none the less
true that there is nothing in the reg
ulations of the Russian post Office to
prevent the arbitrary and irrespon-
sible acts of Minister from being
initiated by the postmaster or his
CLERK. The chances of a letter being
allowed to pass without Interference
are not visibly greater than the
chances Of its being opened. Nor is
there much ceremony in the process.
The officials seem to dispense with
that time-honored expedient ofinquis-
tive lodgiug-house Keepers steam
ing tea-kettle. The letter is simply
slit for half its length-more than
Decessary-the contents removed and
examined, and the envelope finally
fastened up with the gummed paper

BEDS FOR BABIES.

A French doctor has invented a
new bed for babies which holds them
safe in its custody and prevents them
from ever giving any trouble at night
to their attendants. This gentleman
has subjected his system to the most
trying Of all tests, for he has applied
it to all his own children, and consid-
ers that the life of one of them is en-
tirely owing to its use. The idea is
to fill tho greater part of the cradle
with bran and immerse the legs and
part Of the body of the child in this
nest, covering them over in the usual
way, bat fastening down the count
erpane tight so as to keep him firm
in his place. Why this change Of
tactics should have the effect Of tax
ing away from the infant his usual
desire to howl during part OF every
night is vexed question. In the
mean time we must believe the testi-
mony of Drs. Bourgeois and VigOur-
eux, who in two French papers of
some authority, that such is the in
variable result. This is not. however
the only advantage to be expected
from this system. The bran is sup
posed to have warming and stim-
ulating influence superior to any sort
of cotton or cloth, and to allow child
ZEN of the more sickly kind to develop
more quickly and to be sooner able to
use their limbs. The inventor Of the
system declares that they delight in
their bran beds, and always "quit
them with regret" when removed, at
the age of two to one Of a different
kind.

that forms the margin of sheet post
age stamps. As there is not the
slightest necessity for concealment,
there is not the smallest attempt to
disguise the act Of inquisition, and
the openened letter reaches its dis
tinction with the evidences Of its
treatment written broadly, even tri-
umphantly, across the face. Opened
communications are not, however,
always re-closed. On the evening of
the assassination Of the late Emperor,
every letter passing through the st.
Petersburg post Office was opened and
subsequently delivered-where deliv-
cry took place-with gaping slit in
the envelope, indicating the feverish
haste with which the scrutiny had
been conducted. In the provinces,
perhaps, post Office officials are less
liable to panic than in the capital,
but their very distance from the seat
Of government gives precariousness
to postal communication from which
the system does not suffer in centres
like st. Petersburg and Moscow.
In the cspital there is at least dispatch
even if accompanied by e disagreeable
form Of espionage; in the provinces
postal traffic is best with much slow
ness and uncertainty. Some OF the
postmasters have a habit Of detain-
ing correspondence for days at
time, I have just received at this
hour and moment two letters, one of
which was posted six days before the
other. In country towns post Office
officials are strongly suspected-with
what justification / know not-of
delaying and opening letters purely
for the purpose of possessing them
selves of local secrets. IF the address
is written badly, and does not at once
disclose its meaning to the post Office
employee, it is put aside and ultimate
ly consigned to the flames In this
way many Thousands Of letters are
annually burned in Russia-commu-
nications which | think it safe to say
would under more painstaking sys-
tenn for the most part reach their des-
tination. 1t is of couse, upon books,
newspapers and printed matter of all
kinds that the Russian post Office
censorship presses most heavily. To
receive ones magazine with four or
five pages of an article obliterated by
a filthy, sinking compound of oil,
beeswax and printing ink; to have
ones weekly paper handed to one
with its first or second leading article
cut clearly out by the censorial scis-
sors-are experiences which 10 Eng
land could only be conceived Of as
the preliminaries and provocatives Of
some national agitation, but which in
Russia are treated, because they have
to be treated, as everyday occurren-
ces.
