Oddities of a British Postof1ee.

The severer duties of the postoffice
are lightened from time to time by
sundry "curious Incidents" of which a
few are recorded in the annual report.
In.the present instance we are told of
a letter found at Dumbarton addressed
to "The manager of the public house
with Walkers sign" at Wolverhamp-
ton. Some odd particulars were add
ed, which probably furnished the re-
quisite clew, the result being that the
missiye reached the person for whom it
was intended.
In another case postal card was
inclosed to provincial postmaster to
be delivered to the writer's nephew.
The individual was to be identified by
the possession of a cork leg and "a
bright projecting set of teeth" The
description sufficed, though the "ne-
phew" had to be found among pop
ulation of more than seventy thousand.
The "usual eccentricities" have also
presented themselves.
Among these was parcel contain
ing above five hundred leeches from
abroad. Other consignments included
live snakes, frogs, tame rats and a
live locust from the cape. A card
board box containing a kitten with a
feeding bottle was sent by parcel
post and was duly shot from the mail
bag apparatus near Penrith into the
express train.
The kitten suffered from the shock
but recovered in couple of days.
More prosaic but no less interesting
was the discovery of two 9100 Bank Of
England notes in letter having nc
address and affording no clew to the
individual who posted it. As might
be expected, the sender proved to be
lady and in her gratitude for the
safe return of her property she pre-
sented ego as contribution to the
Rowland Hill benevolent fund.-Loaa-

The Emperor of China at Home.

A little on the north, actually within
the prohibited City," are nine huge
palaces, separated by courts, one sue
as that of the Louvre This is the
most private portion of the palace, the
Id-net, or "great enclosure" which is
grand and imposing, but at the same
time simple, and with nothing theatri-
cal about it. Here is lived out the
mysterious existence, the strange des-
tiny, imposed by tradition for some
thirty centuries on the sovereigns of
China. As the Son of the Earth and
of Heaven, the Emperor owes his su-
preme authority to his divine origin.
His titles, which remind US of those in
use at the Byzantine court, are the
"Infnite in Virtue and Science" the
Eternal and Solitary One," the
"Unique," the Sublime" and SO on.
None dare utter or write his name
during his lifetime, and it is reserved
to posterity to sing his praises.
Accustomed from babyhood to being
adored and to the prostration of every
one in his presence, he is initiated at
five years old in the knowledge of the
canonical books, the celebration of re-
1igious rites, and the history of his
ancestors. On the approach of his
seventeenth year bride is chosen for
him from amongst the most noble and
beautiful young girls of Mantchu or
igin, as well as two secondary princess
wives and fifteen concubines. Inter-
minable are the marriage ceremonies,
in which take part six thousand per-
sons of different rank, and in which
every ything-insignia and costumes,
gestures and attitudes, speech and
silence, professions and banquets,
sacrifices and prayers, the most i'm
portant and the most trivial details
is regulated with hieratic precision,
the very mysteries of the bridal bed
being subjected to the authority OF
inviolable religious rites.
And the whole life of the man, who
is absolute master of 450,000,000 OF
people, is but one long ceremony,
divided into some hundreds of diff
ferent acts, now religious, now po-
litical, but alway grand and solemn.
Even death does not free him from his
sacred position, and in the majestic
metropolis of TSWaa-hoata his soul is
supposed to be still performing
amongst funeral rites, the same super
human duties as in his life on earth

INTERESTING OPERATIONS.
Feats of Surgery That Amount Almost tc
Miracles.


Of the many results of the rapid
strides which science has made is the
remarkable skill which medical men
have brought to bear upon difficult and
dangerous surgical operations. 1t was
not many years ago when it was
thought improper to attempt opera
tions upon the human body, but the
steady onward march of human
progress has given surgeons such
a knowledge of the human an
atomy that they are now enabled to
perform feats which formerly would
have been credited to witchcraft and
the black art, says the n. Y. Herald.
At the annual meeting of the Welsh
branch of the British Medical asso-
citation DIR. Damar Harrison gave an
account of an operation he had per-
formed upon boy, which he claimed
to be unique.
The boy had the misfortune to cut
his wrist with plate-glass which caused
him TO loose all sense of feeling in the
hand and was followed by complete
paralysis. The lads wrist was laid
open and it was found that a portion
of the nerve about two inches in length
was entirely destroyed. A young cat
was obtained and chloroformed and
Immediately after death the surgeon
cut nerve out of the hind leg. The
nerve was then wrapped in a cloth
soaked in warm carbolic lotion and
afterward connected with what re-
NAMED of the boys nerve. The result
was most gratifying. Sensation re-
turned and the boy was cured.
An equally interesting and success
full operation was performed upon a
boy who had swallowed fishook. He
tried to release it by pulling upon the
line, but it had become firmly attached
in the lower and back part of the
throat. A medical man was called in
and he procured pistol bullet and
bored a hole through it. 1t was ther
allowed to slide down over the line tc
the hook. The weight of the bullet
dislodged the hook, which, sticking il
the lead and being protected by it, was
safely removed.

Basting.

Peoples notions of what is proper
and what an improper employment
for Sunday are widely at variance,
oddly incongruous and often amusing.
One woman draws the line at the hall
door, and holds that any occupation
which can be kept concealed from the
knowledge of the neighbors is legiti-
mate. Another would be Mortified at
using a needle, but complacently
spends the day in unnecessary cook
ing, noyelreading or. gossip. A third
holds it wrong to drive for amuse-
ment, but venial to walk for the same
purpose. While a fourth will drive
or walk, but refuses to row or sail.
One of the finest distinctions posi-
BILE was once drawn by an estimable
woman, who belonged to the army of
restlessly busy American housewives,
whose god is their work. She be-
grudged sadly the time spent in en-
forced idleness on Sunday. Her con-
science did not permit her usual round
of work, yet her hands refused to lie
contentedly in her lap.
81 never sew on Sunday" she said,
and sighed. "Neyer, of course. But
I admit"-she lowered her voice-"I
room and bdste q LittIe!"
Imagine the trem bling satisfaction
with which she 6asted in readiness for
the Mondays regular sewing, which
she might not begin!
Her hearer laughed, but took the
lesson to heart, and often reflected
upon it, with a whimsical acknowl-
| edgment that more than one woman in
the world, when her moral standard
would not admit of sewing, yet found
no great sin in blasting a little"
Perhaps this imaginary woman re-
fused to talk scandal, yet permitted
herself to mention some other woman's
name with smile and shrug which
| spoke louder than words. Perhaps
she would not altogether praise what
she knew to be base, yet would lend
her countenance or give her silence tc
the scheme she secretly disapproVed.
Perhaps she held the circumstances in
which lie was immoral quite suitable
for prevarication.
zone may often baste where one
can't sew!"
In short perhaps the imaginary wo-
man is not imaginary at all, bnt g
spark of her exists in each one of US.
We all, on occasion, confess-it may
be we confess with sigh-that while
it is plainly wrong to sew, it is quite
excusable to "baste little"
And yet-and yet SO complex is the
human mind, SO clearly exists in some
people the ability to see "the Other
side"-and yet-the final standard fol
each of us is the standard we eacl
acknowledge to be the right one
for individual conduct. Let me be
clearly persuaded in my own mind.
l hold it wrong to drive, and right te
walk, it is wrong for me to drive
You who draw the line at sailing may
walk or drive with a quiet conscience
but must sail wish a guilty one. Per
chance our basting friend was correct
and if she had only b0sted boldly on
the, front stoop, there would have beer
no condemnation for her at all. Hel
wickedness would have dated only
from the back stitches.

Brutes at Play.

In animals the faculty of amuse-
ment aWakes very early. Our four
footed friends seems to be aware of
this and m axe it a part of their par
entail duties to amuse their young. A
ferret will play with her kittens, cat
with hers, a dog with her puppies. A
mare will play with her foal, though
the writer from whom we quote has
never seen a COW try to amuse her calf,
nor any bir1s their young. If their
mothers do not amuse them the young
ones invent games of their own. A
flock of ewes and lambs was once OBJ
served in adjoining fields, separated by
fence with several gaps in it.
Following my leader" was the game
most in favor with this flock, the
biggest lamb leading round the field
and then jumping the gap, with all the
others following in single file; any
lamb that took the leap unusually
wei would give two or three more en-
thusiastic jumps out of sheer exuber-
ant happiness when it reached the
other side.
Fawns play a sort of cross touch
from one side to the other, the "touch''
in each case being by the nose. Little
pigs are also great at combined play,
which generally takes the form OF
races. Emulation seems to form part
of their amusement, for their races
seem always to have the winning OF
the first place for their object; and are
quite different from those com bined
rushes for food or causeless stampedeS
in which little pigs are wont to indulge
Racing is an amusement natural to
some animals, and being soon taught
by others, becomes one of their most
exciting pastimes. Many horses, and
racing dogs, learn to be as keen at
winning as schoolboys. Birds delight
in the free and fanclful use OF theil
wings. There is all the difference
possible between the fight of birds fo1
'business" or pleasure; and many
kinds on fine days will soar to vas
heights for pleasure alone.
