Catching n Rogue.

In a great city like London there are many importers who make busi- ness of appealing to public sympathy by shamming sickness. Not only do they pretend to be crippled or blind, but they also feign epilepsy and other diseases, and are taken to public hos pitals in a state of assumed uncon- sciousness. One of these imposters was carried into hospital from po- lice van and laid on sofa in the ex- amining room. The resident surgeon had a keen eye, and watched the pa tient closely. As the apparently un- conscious man was deposited on the sofa a few pennies fell out of his pockets and rolled on the floor. The patient opened his eyes and made a quick movement to recover the coins. Then he bethought himself and drew back.
 The doctor, accustomed to deal with such pretenders, turned to an attend ant and remarked:
 You notice, probably, how limp the man is, and how heavily he is breath ing. It is a bad case, and needs im- mediate and severe treatment. Fetch the battery
 There was a suspicious trembling of the patients hands, and the loud breathing ceased. When the battery was produced, the doctor added, brisk ly:
 "He scarcely breathes. You must be quick. Let him have the full power of the battery Half charge will not answer the purpose"
 The patient by this time had opened his eyes from sheer terror, and before the wires were well in hand he had found his voice. Sitting bolt upright on the sofa, he shrieked:
 Let me go, beg Of you. There is nothing the matter with me. I am only a poor sort of humbug, that tries to make a few pennies by shamming. Turn off your batteries and let me go"
 The patient was dismissed after he had picked up the coins which had fallen under the sofa.

LETTER BOXES.
Which Deliver Messages and Cards ss
 Upper Floors.


 In several of the new apartment houses in Paris an ingenious invention has been placed, which is of such prac- tical, common sense value that it might be introduced with profit in this country where any saving of time and labor appeals so strongly to modern American ideas. Tbe patent in ques- tlon is an automatically moving letter box for the reception of letters ad- dressed to a tenant. Tn the vestibule of the house are placed just as many Of these letter boxes as there are ten- ants in the building. In general ap- pearance there is little difference be tween the group of boxes and those t9 De seen in the Yestibule of any flat aarse in this country. Instead, how 9 er, of retaining the letters, cards, etc, until a servant descends to get them, or the tenant opens the box on entering or leaving his house, the Paris invention performs it's work promptly by delivering it's contents to the person for whom they are intend ed. Thus, when the postman on his rounds has letter for MT. So-and-So, he deposits it in the box bearing that gentleman's name. The mfssiye opens lever at the bottom of the box, which thereupon moves upward until it comes to Mr. So-and-Sos apartment. Then, by co-relative mechanism. the contents of the box are emptied into a receptacle in the hall of the apart. ment, and a bell is rung automatically to notify the servants that 8 letter has come. Its duty done, the box de- scends again to take it's place with those of the other tenants in the yes tibule. And not only a letter alone, but even visiting card dropped into the box will speed it on it's upward errand, so light is the weight required to operate this practical mechanism.
