The Art Of Opening Letters.

The art of opening letters addressed
to other people and refastening them so
that no one will know is a profession
in Spain. In the p~ostotice they have a
dark chamber, where experts inquire
into things, and these have long since
given up the use of steam for opening
gummed communications. Even red
hot platinum wire for letters sealed
with a is out of date. The favorite
means is with a knife sharper than a
razor, which is run along the bottom
of the envelope. The letter having
been extracted and then replaced after
the officials of the postotice have
learned what is going on, a fine line of
liquid cement is drawn along the OPEN
ing, the slightest pressure conceivable
is applied, and the letter is as whole as
ever.-RhiladelDhia Cal.
