Don't think for moment that these
experienced officials are blind. Quite
the contrary. If anything, they are
exceedingly wideawalse. 1t is nick
name that has been applied to them in
consequence of the ability they dis
play in deciphering addresses. many

about two thousand letters pass
through their hands in the course of a

WINGED that their task necessitated not
only research, but also much cogita-
ton as to the places meant by the per-
sons who had addressed the envelopes.
But. says Sala's Journal, they are not
all misspelt addresses that demand the
careful scrutiny of the blind sorters'
and test in a most ingenious manner
the capabilities of these specially
trained officers.
There is in the Office what is called
cGcious-address book, wherein are
kept replicas of the peculiarly strange
manner in which some persons-more.
perhaps, than one would think for
send their missives. When one of
these curiosities comes to hand a
capable draughtsman at once makes
tracing-the letter not being delayed
in its transit-and when the copy is
finished it subsequently finds place
in the address book. l saw two OF
these remarkable tones, and was much
interested in their contents.
Some of these consisted of prettily
executed designs, with the address in

no doubt in the design with which The

represented as ct the head of small
