The British post Office is becoming

more reforms since the duke of Nor

during the previous 20 years. The
latest introduces Z system of private
posting boxes, located in private
houses and oiflces, from which the post
men collect letters at regular intervals.
Two collections are given daily for one
pound yearly, with q slight additional
cost for each floor above and below the
ground. The user Is not allowed to
have Q key to the Boz. The letter once
posted becomes the property Of the
postmaster-general and cannot be re-
turned to the writer. Probably other

taryship Of the post Office at the special

before dinner he INDUCES in a brisk
constitutional of an hours duration.
His stride is rather long, and he walks
with a dash and swing which furnish
him excellent exercise. His carriage Is
decidedly English. and, while the new
secretary is an American to the core,
and does not aim to initiate the British.
he undoubtedly contracted the pedes-

and envious eyes follow the vigorous
