Letters from the Queen.

1t is probably not generally known in
this country that the queen of England
never sends her personal correspondence
through the regular mail as her subjects
do. Every trivial communication, whether
of personal or private nature, is de.
livered at its destination by a queens
messenger. Queen Victoria is the only
living sovereign who INDUCES in this
little piece of extravaganza at the expense
Of her subjects. Private and unimportant
letters from other potentates are sent like
epistles from mere ordinary mortals, by
post.-New York Truth.
In Old Flemish City.
No one was in hurry. The very beg
gars had lazy whine. The shopkeepers
mostly stood at their doors. listlessly
chewing the stalk of some flower or star,
ing before them with lack luster eyes,
while humming tune. nobly Indifferent
to business. There was one curiosity
shop that it was difficult to pass. 30
crammed were its windows with carved
ivory and carved oak. with brass and
bronze TORTURED into shapes beautiful and
grotesque, with majolica ware and japan
porcelain. missals gorgeous with color,
cobweb laces yellowed by age and ancient
weapons and books and other relics of the
past. But here, too, the venerable owner
Of these treasures, with horn trimmed
spectacles to assist his bleared eyes,
sat in a high backed Fifteenth century
chair, porting over tome which was pro,
badly printed at q similar date, and
scarcely deigned to glance at the stranger
who was inspecting his stock in trade. It
was delightful to mark the indolent en-
joyment of the red shirted boatmen who
lay languidly smoking on the raised poop
of the gaudy barges which lay moored
here and there on the wide canals, the
quays Of which were shaded by lime trees,
amid the rustling leaves Of which the
bees hummed noisily. 1t was hard to be-
Heve that this was the busting. feverish,
Nineteenth century, and that our own in.
sular Babylon was but q few hours jour
ney from this drowsy town.
At last, however, found myself in q
street wider than the rest, along which
painted country wagons, full Of lace
capped and kerchiefed maids and matrons,
of brass cans, baskets and empty crates,
were jolting and rafting with thunderous
din over stones. drawn by sleek, wild
looking horses. which seemed to wear the
minimum Of harness and the maximum of
bells, and which pranced and snorted in
their exultant strength. These belonged
evidently to well to do peasants who had
sold their poultry and their tame rabbits,
their butter and general dairy produce,
and were now returning to the far off
farms where they dwelt among the polders.

Suggestion for Railway Companies.

The Boston Transcript wants to know
why railway companies do not hang up in
several prominent places in stations a
plainly printed list of fares to different
places. This would save a great deal sof
time, as many passengers could have the
exact amount of money ready. In fact,
in large stations like those in this city, a
money changing Office in addition to the
ticket Office might be established. so that
people could provide themselves with the
exact change if they did not have it.

Distributing Scarlet Fever Poison.

DR.. J. Brooke, surgeon United States
army, Of Fort Monroe, Va, communicates
the following case: "a girl aged about s,
living at this place, was some months ago
attacked by scarlet fever, the disease,run-
ming typical course. For long time no
possible source of contagion could be dis
covered. The child had not been absent
from home. had been with no one lately
exposed, and no other case was known to
exist anywhere in the vicinity. Subse |
quently I learned that one of the house
servants had nursed case of scarlet
fever in distant city just about a year
before. After the case terminated she
packed some of her things, including
some clothing then worn, in trunk, and
left the place. A year later she had the
trunk sent to her here, opened it and
took out the contents, the little girl being
present and handling the things. Very
soon after the latter was attacked, as
stated. Medical Record

Postal Savings Bank System.
One Of the features of the government
of Great Britain Is the postal savings
bank system. 1t is very popular and Is
largely patronized by the public. Its use
fitness is beyond all question United
States Consul Walling, at Liverpool, has
been investigating this subject and has
given some very interesting facts about
its workings in report to the secretary
of state. The beginning of the govern.
ment postal savings banks was in 1851
under bill prepared and presented by
Mr.. Gladstone. It was entitled IAN act
affording additional facilities for deposit
ing small savings at interest with the
security of the government for the due
repayment thereof" On the day of the
opening of the first banks under this act
435 deposits were received. One year
afterward the number had increased so
greatly that there were 1855 Offices open
for the accommodation of the public. In
Der to 3, 731, 421. and the amount of money
on deposit was ESQ. S74. 1873. This in
American money would be $3.50, 000, 600.
Deposits of one shilling or any number of
shillings are received up to $3.50 or ESQ.
The interest paid Is n per cent. year
on every full pound. Should the sum
on deposit reach goo the interest there
on will cease until the amount has been
reduced. The government has made pro-
vision for the investment of larger sums
in its securities. The banks will receive
deposits from parents or other relatives
on behalf Of minor children. Married
women can -lso make deposits which are
beyond the control of the husbands.
Another feature of the British system
is that the government guarantees the
repayment of all moneys on deposit with
interest, and also any life assurances or
annuities granted under the act creating
these banks The results of the measure
of Mr.. Gladstone have been such as to
recommend it to the good will of the
people of Great Britain. That they do
appreciate it is shown by their liberal
patronage. The cost of maintaining it is
very little, being about five-eighths of
per cent. The guarantee of the govern
ment makes the system absolutely safe.
1t is in every respect a well regulated
financial institution. Great Britain is not
the only nation which has these postal
savings banks. They are. feature Of
the American and Australian British
colonies. They have been engrafted
upon the political system of France, Ger
many, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Holland
and Japan. -Detroit Free Press.
