The Chinese Postomce.
From the London Express.

From the London Express.
This is an attractive title, fully justified
by the fact that there is no G. p. o. in
China! We Westerners are so much ac-
customed to the rat-tat of the postman,
and the constant rounds of the blue-liv-
cried figure ION Her Majesty's Service, "
that we find IL hard 10 realize that no
such institution exists in such a highly
civilized country as China. Enterprising
mandarins may, and sometimes do. offer
prizes for essays on How to Establish
a Chinese Imperial Postoffice." but fur
Their than this the matter has non gone.
When a Chinaman wishes to post let
ter or a parcel, he does not drop it into

balistic V. r. He carries IA 10 a letter

is broken the keeper of the letter shop
has TO pay damages. This, 10 tell the
truth. he generally does with on admira-
BILE promptitude that sets an example to
our own leisurely department.
This system of private enterprise pro-
vides nothing of the nature Of a penny

mission Of letters and parcels is regulated
by two circumstances: ~ The money

without Enclosures can be sent a short
distance very cheaply. but This little
charge is quickly multiplied 10 a great
one If valuables are inclosed, or If the

lection, and woe TO any one who molests

The government does not make use OF
the letter shop system, but all imperial
ed,cts and dispatches are carried from city

complicated system OF mounted couriers.
In case Of emergency dispatches can be
carried as much as $50 miles a day. so

was obliged to leave the little one
alone with the queen for some
time and the latter, to make the
princess feel at home, said: "Now
my dear You have an hour to
spend with me, and you shall do
exactly as YOU like"
Exactly as | like% Queried the
little princess doubtfully.

"Thcn, dear Aunt Adelaide, :
said the child, may I he allowed
20 clean the windows?'
Queen Adelaide was somewhat
startled but the little one had
her way, setting TO work with
sleeves carefully rolled up and an
apron tied around her waist.
