A PARisIAN LANDMARK.
The Passage saumon, Once a Center sf
 Fashion, to Be Demolished.

Fashion, to Re Demolished.
 One more landmark of old Paris is to disappear, says the London Tele- graph. The Passage Saumon, once the center of fashion, and situated in the heart of the metropolis, IS to be demol- ished and built over. The ground will be offered for sale in the chamber of notaries. Half a century since the Passage Saumon was as fashionable as the Rue de la Paix is today. There the dressmakers and milliners of the old days prepared the fnery which was to dazzle the eyes of the provincials. Maids and matrons from the country f1ocked thither to buy Pamela hats and other articles of the kind, and not few Parisiennes of the period were ai- so dressed there. In it's vacinity were famous restaurants, one of which, the Rocher de Cancale, still manages to exist There, too, was the Theater Moliere; while, in the matter of liter ary reminiscence, it was in the Passage Saumon that Victor Hugo wrote part of Marion Delorme" one rainy day when he entered a cafe there. AL phonse Daudet, too has left detailed description of the place in one of his earliest books, Le Petit Chose. There are many Parisians of the present gen. eration who do not even know where the Passage Saumon is. The spot has long been neglected for more stately and more monotonous localities in the west, wherein every well-dressed man and woman thinks and acts alike. Its glory is vanished, like that of the Pal- ais Royal, the Place des Vosges, and other localities famous in the social, artistic and political annals of France. The Passage Saumon is beyond the bourse and connects the Rue Mont martre with the Rue Montorgueuil. Not far from it was the old post office, where people arriving by dili- gences from all parts of France got down. Of late years the Arcade, once so brilliant, had become the dullest and dingiest of city resorts, and was inhabited by cheap milliners, small gro- cers, vendors of resuscit&ted tall hats and providers of faded fnery for fe- males with limited funds at their dis uosal.

A Curious Postal System.

Tn certain parts of Sweden, where the most absolute confidence is reposed in the honesty of the people, very in- formal postal system is in vogue. As the mail steamer reaches the landing place man goes ashore with the let ters, which he places in an unlocked box on the pier. Then the passer-by who expects letter opens the box, turns over the letters and selects his own, unquestioned by any one.
