COWPER'S SUMNER HOUSE.
The Little building in Which 'JOhn

From the Sketch.


During February Cowpcr's summer
house, Oiney, Buckinghamshire. was sold
by auction. The extract from the particu-
lars of sale reads as follows:
Lot 3.-All that far-famed garden and
orchard known as "Cowpers Garden and
the Guinea Orchard" tine former contain
ing the poets celebrated summer house. in
1t is interesting to remember that this
same garden was formerly attached to
Cowper's house, and probably the poets
famous hares-by name Bess, Puss and
Tiney-garlboled there as well as in the
dwelling house. The summer house is a
tiny building which Cowper sometimes de-

book on The Town of Cowper." who also
states thai in winter it was used as a green
house. but, on the return of warm wea her
the walls were lined with mats, and the
building again converted into a summer
house. 1t need hardly be added that visit
ors have covered the walls and ceiling with
their countess names, although on the Ia
BILE lies a visitors signature book in which
many distinguished names may be found.

fallen upon him. Indeed. he had been the

There are many complaints of money lost
in the mails which upon Investigation prove
to have their source in the dishonesty of

that he had spent the money in taking his

three times a week, and that he liked to
give her small presents. There are many

them is that often the people who have
made the complaint refuse to press IT when
they know il concerns one of their en-

discharge the offender.

that the safety of 4 registered letter is not

Owing to the method of checking a regis

is generally easy to find the point where the
letter dropped out of sight: and most of the
complaints in this department, we'll as
that of the special delivery department are
complaints of delay rather than loss.

japanese Competition.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Another straw showing which way the
wind of japanese competition blows is the
transfer of a great straw mating manu-
factory from Milford, Conn.,, to Kobe, one
of the industrial centers of Japan. The
shrewd Connecticut Yankees investigated
the subject and found that they could
manufacture their speciality more cheaply
in Japan than in the nutmeg state, SO they
moved their concern across the water.
These who affect TO pooh-poch the subject
of japanese competition and airily speak
of the superiority of western intellect en-
tirely overlook the fact that the mobility
of capital is such that Ii can be easily
transferred to countries where cheap la
Dor can be had, SO that all that is neces.
sary is for the superior intellects of Amer.
lea and Europe to invent machines and
the owners Of capital can tuy them ard

watch night and day for any depreda.ions,
and so perfect is the system of surveillance
that very few cases Of theft occur in the
Office itself from one years end to another.
The clerks who sort the mails have places
around a large table at the head of which
is the head clerk, who is constantly OBJ
serving them. And each clerk, when he en-
tiers upon his duties, receives specific in
structions to keep sharp watch upon each
of his fellow clerks. This makes the clerks
mutually suspicious Of each other, and
gives them, in way, the efficiency of reg
ular detectives.
One Of the few cases Of recent occurrence
where money has been stolen in the New
York post Office happened in March, 1885,
when a clerk named Lagan WAS detected
in secreting letters. 1t was his duty to dis
tribute the letters into boxes, ana as he did
this rapidly, he managed to throw about
one out of five inside his vest, which was
really large pouch open at the top. La
