says Pearson's Weekly, India is large

will not take precautions

mis- fOrefathers carried, when on sim
liar errands, was a small spiked stick
aud that is all the true native postman
will consent TO carry to-day.
There are several postoffices in swift
zerland at a height OF 1000 or more
feet: and a letterbox on the very sum
init OF the Vanguard, from which four
collections are made daily, is nearly
10000 feet above the sea level. Near
here. some few years ago, three letter
carriers were crushed TO death by an
avalanche. In an adjacent canton, in
the summer of 1868, postman fell into
a creyasse while crossing a glacier, his
two full bags on his back All efforts
to recover either the body or the mails
were fruitless; but thirty-four years af
terward. in 1897, the glacier cast forth
its prey many miles lower down the
valley. and the long-lost letters were
delivered TO as many of the addresses
"a could be traced.
Not infrequently, too these Alpine
postmen are attacked by the huge
fierce eagles that soar hungrily above
the less frequented passes Usually
the men are able TO beat off their feath
cred assalants, but not always.
In July, 1899, a postman who carried
the mails on foot between the villages
OF Sospello and Puget Theniers was IA
tally mauled by three of such birds. OF
two men who attempted to avenge his
death. one was killed outright, and an
other injured so severely that his life
was for long time in danger.
The camel postman OF the Sahara
Hjuterand is another letter carrier
WHO has need of plenty of pluck. The
wild tribesmen Of the desert look upon
him a their natural prey, so that he
never knows, when he sets out in the
morning, whether he will reach his des
tin1tion at night. But he trots his
eighty miles day, and regards a stray
shot from a lurking "sniper" or an am
bush Of spearmen as part of the ordin
AIRY routine incidental to his business
In Japan the rural post runner still
swings his baskets across his shoul
dcrs precisely as his ancestors did cen
turtles ago. In Formosa also the mails
are carried to this day by a man on
foot. who jogs along with a paper Ian
tcru and an umbrella.
Siberia, except along the line of
the new railway, has to rely on post
sledges; and there are towns. and fair
sized towns, too, where more than two
deliveries year would be exceptional
The postmen of the Landes, in south
western France, strike across the waste
on gigantic stills, their feet 4 fathom
or more above the ground.
In the interior Of Chins, except in a
few districts, there is no regular letter
delivery, and consequently no post
men. But many of the mandarins and
taotas maintain semi-pubic services
OF their own, and keep their runners

will not only nourish particular
