the characters he writes would be likely to bear
for him individually. Here the experts taste
for lingu site nceties, with the corresponding
keen ear for differences of sound is invaluable.
A man who has become accurately familiar
with Italian sounds sees at glance that Ne
giosi,' giving the Italian values to the letters,
exactly represents an illiterate Italians at
tempt at the sounds which Americans write
New Jersey" In an envelop with Russian
stamp, Kreenpoynp means "Greenpoint,"
for the Russians mouth is likely to substitute
a labal for dental consonant, and K for
cultural G.. Again, there is the wonderful
postmark Przecxa" on letter to " Mis- karo-
lima Tanowske." One who has listened care
fully to either Russian or Polish talk knows
how a man of PrZeczau would read aloud the
line which follows the name" Tu woody tn is
Chandler Ten stryt.'' 1t would sound some
thing like, Two forty two east hundred
tenth street," which is a fairly ineligible
address.
OF course, many addresses defy the most ex-
haustive study, and many letters reach the
Dead Letter Office. To this class belongs the
effort of sturdy Briton, who wrote to his
friend, Thomas Clacy, at " New Jersey, United
States America and then, with truly British
misgivings as to the efficiency of American in
stitutions, appended little private note to the
post Office authorities, assuring them that
This address is correct Probably it was,
as far as it went, but it hasn't gone far enough
yet to reach Thomas Clacy. Here is Russian
specimen, with ten cents due: 80 This hand
writing is on off your brothers daughter his
name is Simon Galitshy, America" All that
was on an unstamped envelop found in a
Schenectady, New York, mail box was, Please
put on this cents stamp on the letters that 60
to Italy and has not the stamp on Neur P. De
Marso."

Borrowing in China

A N American woman who had gone to live
\ in Shanghai compelled, after
her arrival, to entertain some important bust
ness associates of her husbands Her finest
china, glass; and SO forth had not yet arrived
from the States. Nevertheless, she determined
to give dinner and called in her Number
one boy"
Now, boy" she said impressively, Il en-
tertain three gentlemen at dinner tomorrow,
very fine gentlemen. You make it all best
possible. Must be nice everything"
Bowling and scraping, he went off to inform
the other seven servants.
The next evening she ushered her friends
into the dining hall she gasped in amazement.
Before her was table spread with the most
exquisite linen, cut glass, silver, and delicate
china. Over it all hung gorgeous cut glass
chandelier. Course after course was served
as if by magic.
The instant she could leave her guests she
sought her Number one boy"
Boy, boy!' she exclaimed. Where you
get such beautiful things?"
The boy beamed with satisfaction Every
thing very NICE best possible! Me very good
friend Russian Ambassadors Number one
boy: Russian Ambassador go out to dinner.

Difficulty With Foreigners

THE cream of the collection, regarding it as
L amuseum of epistolary curosites, is in the
foreign written addresses. Most of these have
been condemned as hards" and laid aside by
the sorting clerks who handle the incoming for
eign mails, and the necessity for specialists to
do this work of deciphering in the New York
post office is due to that city's being the most
frequented port of arrival for mail carrying
steamers But the term foreign" in this
connection must be taken to include not only
inhabitants of other English speaking coun-
tries, but also largely the foreign born persons
living in this country.
The envelop, for example, addressed to a
young woman at Spencer .lnsea," where " In
sea" stands for the initials n. c., is not likely
to have been mailed by a native American, but
it bears United States stamp. The same is
true of the envelop inscribed "W. Hoboknly,"
in bad German script, meaning West Hoboken.
"Ancram Lead Ralambi Coity," for Ancram
Lead Mines, Columbia County New York;
"Al Signor Luigi Scarpina, Anovifolsi, n. Y,
meaning Annawa Falls, New York; and that
triumph of mind reading in which trackless
jungle of big and little letters has been SO re-
duced to order as to spell "1o2 North sti Re
Ell bostock Massa," and interpreted, Io2
North-st., Boston, Massachusetts. The letter
addressed to "Fedvetenezzi" Fayetteville,
Tennessee) has no stamp at all, but it
mailed in New York. On the other hand, that
addressed to Knoughyto p L., Con-, =. S. A."
for Naugatuck, Connecticut, bears the post
mark of Tipperary; and ITO Anndner Street
Sailing Mass, for Andover-st., Salem Massa-
chusetts, comes from Ballynote, in the Green

Addresses like these are not only impossible
of translation into anything like working forms,
but they defy the non-eXpert to guess what
could possibly have caused them to be written.
The experts theory is that in all these cases
the addressee has written in his last letter
few words of English, just to show his familiar
ity with that language. His correspondent at
home has mistaken the words for his American
address; but a rule the letter finds its way
to the Dead Letter Office. The anguish of the
Swedish Miss -, whose coy out
pouring of the heart in language her lover
knew not, resulted in her getting no answer to
her letter, is only one among many pathetic
romances suggested by the contents of this
album of queer addresses

city owns the bed Of both Bennett and
Twelfth streets, but Howell S. England,
representing Mr. Allender, told the com
missioners that he understood that nego-
tiations were pending between Mr.. Allen
der Smith & Painter and the Board Of
Park Commissioners, whereby, as he
understood the matter, Mr.. Allender was
TO deed the bed of Bennett street north
OF Twelfth, in return for which the city
is to deed him the bed Of Twelfth street
east of Bennett, and he did not want to
duplicate matters and preferred to wait
until these negotiations were concluded.
The tract adjoins kirkwood Park. and
people IN that part Of the city have been
complaining about a small building which
has been erected there
Ar. England explained to the board
that Mr.. Allender has a small plant there
Tor the construction of naphtha launches
and he now has a launch under way. Mr..
England believed his client had a right
there, as a deed Of 1858 placed the limit
OF Twelfth and Bennett streets at low
water mark, and it is a question where
the low water mark was in 1858. and he
believed his client was within his rights
Director Gray said if the city had ex-
tended the streets and If the streets had
been decided TO the city the extension
belonged to the city The matter is to
be looked into before further action is
taken.
