magnify his Office for all it is worth and

Chicago elocutionist, discussing in The

tation, speaks of "other pieces like
Mother and Poet The Raven and like
productions of no great literary merit
that produce marvellous effects when well
rendered. Often wondered what kept

Under the microscope these bleeding

Reflections.

Stills are no better in conversation
than in foot race.
Folly must hold its tongue while wear
ing the wig Of wisdom.
1t is the foolish aim of the atheist to
scan infinitude with microscope.
When poverty comes in at the cottage
door, true love goes at it with an ak. J,
A vein Of humor should be made visi-
BILE without the help Of q reduction mill.
The reformer becomes a fanatic when
he begins to use his emotions as a sub

Many an object in life must be at
tanned by flank movements; it is the
zigzag road that leads to the mountain
top.
All the paths of life lead to the grave,
and the utmost that we can do is to avoid
the short cuts.
The Office should seek the man, but it
should inspect him thoroughly before

Humility is most serviceable as an I'M

A patent postal pillar box of an In
genious character has been exhibited at
the Athen@um club, Melbourne The
box is octagonal in shape and stands
seven feet in height, having diameter
OF abosit two feet, and it has three divi-
sions. The top ono contains q series of
compartments, in which there arc police
and fire alarms, the former being COM
municated with by means Of a telephone,
while the fire brigade is apprised Of an
outbreak Of FIRE in the locality by the
pressure of an electric button. The Gen.
trail division, which is the largest, is de-
voted to the reception of letters and
newspapers, the ordinary slot Or opening
through which the letters are placed be-
ing covered with wire comb, to prevent
the letters being extracted by the inser-
ton Of thin sticks or pieces Of wire.
The letters fall into an iron box which
is fastened on to the door, and when it
is desired to clear the box all that the
postman has to do is to touch spring,
which causes the bottom of the box to
fall, and this allows the letters to drop
into the open bag underneath. There is
a dial Immediately above the door denot-
ing the times at which the box is cleared,
and on the door being closed the hand
on the dial indicates at what time the
next clearance will take place. The bot
tom division is reserved for the batteries
used in connection with the police tele-
phone fire alarms, and on top of the
roof an electric lamp is affixed. Sydney
