The Berlin postal service, long one of
the best postal services in the world
has just been improved by a unique in
novation. On November l ten large
postal wagons. with sorting tables,
stamping arrangements and every thing
else used in preparing mail for trans
portation, were sent out from Berlin's
Station c over ten routes to the city
limits to collect the contents of the
street mail-boXes The officials who ac
companied the wagons sorted, stamped
and punched the mail brought them
from the boxes by a porter, while the
wagons were being driven in from the
outskirts of the city. In this way an
hour, and often enough. two hours, was
saved from the time before required for
preparing mails for the trains. A let
ter-box was attached to the side of each
wagon. SO that pedestrians could throw
in their letters whenever the wagon
stopped. These postal wagons have been
a complete success thus far, and will be
continued in use. Most of them cover
their routes in just an hour. The Ber-
lin post officials boast that they now
have the quickest city mail service in
the WORLD. N. Y. sun.

WHIPPING IN ENGLAND.
A Mode of Punishment Practiced as Late
as August, 1917.

When Lander referred to the naked
haunch" he was evidently INDUCING
poetic license. as persons VIXEN whipped
were only stripped from the waist up
ward, so that the haunch would not be
exposed to 1.-The stern beadle's whip"
That women were whipped at the whip
ping post and the carts tail is positive
fact. Women of all ages suffered, from
the girl of sixteen to the woman of
sixty and the practice of whipping
them only ceased in 1877, when 1t was
abolished by George ~, cap. 81. If
women of the middle class escaped whip
ping, it was no doubt due to the fact that
they but rarely committed the otfenses
for which women of the lower orders
were punished, otherwise they would
have been equally amendable, as there
does not appear to have been any statu-
.ory exception in their favor; indeed it
seems more than probable that many
women of the middle class were
whipped, when we remember that whip
pinrs were inflicted upon women not
only for crime but for being insane
and having the smallpox. Whether
Hannah Smell was whipped or not am
unable to say, but if she really existed
and was in the army, l should think 1t
quite likely that she was, and under GER
tain circumstances, the whipping might
have been carried out without her sex
being discovered. In the army fog
ring was performed by fastening the
soldier up triangle, and IN the
navy by lashing the sailor to
grating and then fogging the
hare hack with a cato nine-tails. Ward,
in THE London Spy" tells US that IN
Bridewell both men and women were
whipped upon their naked backs before
the Court of Governors. The president
sat, with hammer in hand, like
