Wine Drinking at DinDera

Postmasters are exposed to much temptation
incidentally to the handling Of Uncle Sans
funds. Sometimes they Hnd themselves in
tight places financially and it seems . very
rariiy by using some OF the government cash
which is lying idle at hand. Unfortunately,
they never can tell when the inspector will
come along to look over the accounts.
INGENIOUS nAscALs. q,
Every dishonest post Office employe imagines
that his method Of stealing is Q new one, that
he does it better than any one ever did it be-
fore, and that he can elude detection. But
such offenders are invariably caught. They
can never tell when they are being watched or
how, All new post Office buildings are con-
structed with peep holes expressly for this
purpose The rifing of letters is the most
usual form Of theft A clerk was caught in the
act the other day at Wilmington, N. c., who
mao achieved such EXPERIENCES in distinguish
ing paper money by smell that after his capture
ne seiected with unerring accuracy seven letters
containing bank notes out Of 400 placed before
MIN, though blindfolded, in order to satisfy
the curiosity Of the inspectors. Not merely

=, Two years ago u mail clerk at Lynchburg
va, was suspected of riding letters. A post
once inspector hired a room over the one
which was occupied by the supposed guilty
party In an office building, and overlooked him
DAY and night through a hole bored in the
ceinns. The official spy had an opportunity
OF watching the progress of a very Interesting
rove analr and OF securing damning evidence
~ 1he same time. In another case Of similar
character ut Charlotte, N. c., an inspector
gazea upon an employe who was stealing from
registered letters through chinks in the
eelins Over the post Office is an opera
mousse, and the detective crawled beneath the
stage so as to get his eye at a suitable
crack. From this point OF vantage he saw
the guilty party open the 'missives intrussed

water, placing them afterward under press
lor inc purpose Of sealing them with the old
mucliaSe. Thus the letters would arrive safely
enough, and apparently intact, but without the
vaiuaDio contents. SO engrosscd was the GRIM
inai with bis little game when caught at it that
te inspector was able to walk quietly in and peep
over his shoulder, saying, what have you got
there, my boy?" The guilty ono's reply, as his
knees gave way under him, was simply, "Good
Lord! You've got me-"

Tor busy Americans The rest Of the French
etiquette is substantially il is with US. You
must call after attending q dinner party. q
wedding, christening or Q funeral After a
friend has recovered from an illness you
should call TO congratulate him. You should
return the visit of anybody who honors You
with call, and you ought also &c call upon any
friend who you have heard has been making
inquiries about you. You should make a
round Of visits Just before YOU 60 away from a
city. You should be prompt in calling upon
any one OF your friends who has had a great
happiness or calamity befall him, or who has
suddenly achieved high honors or disgrace. A
visit OF ceremony should not last longer than q
must be confessed. II is clear that such visits
are made simply because there is a social law
requiring 1t, and that there is no real desire on
the part OF the people to see ono another.
No FULL DRESS HERE
The French rule also requires that the New Year
calls be made in full dress. but il is very many
years since full dress ceased to be the proper
thing in this country Nowadays il is distinctly
the mos. improper thing. Army and navy
o,ncers, II Is true, call upon the President in
full uniform, but civilians who know what
they are about do not. The truth is that the
swallow-tail coat is the safest garment in the
world for, man to wear at night, and the most
dangerous to wear by day. The poor fellow
who goes calling on New Year day in his even
Ing clothes Is almost much to be pitied as
tho man who wears such a costume at an after
noon tea.
The custom Of wholesale calling on January
l is also said TO have originated with the
french. and its Abandonment Is due to the imi-
tation OF our English cousins which, il lie 10 be
feared, Is practiced by a coed many of the
people who constitute society. English people
are generally more self-contained than are the
French. They do not relish having large list
OF callers. and so when New Workers became
Anglo-mauiacs they ceased receiving on New
Year day Or course, the wives and daugh-
tiers did 1t. They either left the city on New
Year or stayed at home and received no callers;
SO In a few years the callers stopped coming.
The feminine half Of the world ought not to
grumble at their exclusion from legislative
bodies. They make the laws that govern the
social side of life, ard any man who violates
these laws is sentenced to Punishment from
good society.
