One OF them is devoted to the task of

indifference of their addresses. have
got into Blind turning. Experienced

and Directories, and If probable
destination is found, the endorse

Some Of the most extraordinary per-
versions of addresses which have oeep
detected BY this process have been
preserved by the department in a
box which is shown to visitors. One
would not at first sight recognize that
