MYSTERIES
OFFICIAL LETTERS ARE
SECRETLY OPENED

Although the governments deny it,
| which a cabinet noir does mot exist
and has not existed since letters were
written. At Washington, as at Ber-
! lin and London. no correspondence Of
importance escapes this administra-
tive inquisition. In spite of all de-
malls, every government maintains a
dark chamber in which letters are
opened before being sent on to their
destination In the turmoil prelimi-
nary to the Spanish-Amrican war a
secretary of the Spanish legation at
Washington found this out to his
cost. Without the cabinet noir the Sc
cret police could hardly exist.
Through it the chiefs are enabled to
spy upon their agents. who are re-
cruited in all ranks of society, and
paid in proportion to their standing
and services. 1t is, however, in poll.
tics and diplomacy that the cabinet
noir works most actively. Often it is
of supreme Importance for a nation to
know the instructions sent to this am
bassador Or that, and the contents of
his dispatches. OF course, these COM
munications are in cipher, but for the
cabinet nOir there are no cryptographic
mysteries. Even cipher can be read,
Documents of very great Importance
are sent by diplomatic couriers and
Kings messengers, but this is ex-
ceptional. In the papers which have
thus been stolen, read, copied AMI pre-
served in the secret archives of the
various states, lies the real history
that will be written some day. Blu
nau-Varilla's letters-fled away in
the cabinets noir of Paris and Wash
ington will some day shed a mocking
light on the recent occurrences at
Panama, and many another historic
events will take on an unexpected
color.
Never. perhaps, did the cabinet
roir work more diligently than few
years arn. when all the great powers
intervened in the affairs of Crete.

THE QUESTION or SUPPER.
Difference Of Opinion as to Benefit Of
Late Meal,


An old Italian proverb has it thot
Who goes TO bed supperless all night
tumbles and tosses." Portuguese
saying is, IF you would be i'll, sup
and then go to sleep"
1t is plain. American Medicine con
cludes, that the 'potted wisdom Of
proverbs will give no decisive rule as
to digestion during sleep. The Gus
tom of an after dinner nap is common
In almost all Italian and Oriental
countries, but it is contradicted by an
old Latin proverb which the Germans
and the English in turn have trans
lated: After dinner sit awhile, after
supper walk mile"
As a rule, the northern, and espe'
cially the Anglo-Saxon, races incline
to think that digestion is not the best
during sleep.
AS to drinking. the peoples expert
ence is that che who goes to bed
thirsty rises healthy" AS age comes
On digestion grows more difficult, sc
that the Spanish say, who steals an
old mans supper does him no wrong.

THE defendant Tom, being brought
to the bar and having nothing to say
for himself why Judgment Of death
should not pass against him according
to the verdict. etc, it is considered by
the court that he be carried from
hence to the place from whence he
came. and from thence to the place
of execution and there be burned
with a slow fire, that he may con-
tinue in torment for eight or ten hours
and continue burning in said fire until
he be dead and consumed in ashes"
