You cauuot regard any letter you
may ead through the post as being
private. The government baa a legal
right to open any letter or parcel pass
ing through the post and la also en
titled, of course, to use any Informa
tion thus obtained In furtherance of
the Interests of the law. At one time
the official and secret opening of "pri
vate" letters was of such common oc
currence that poatofnee employees were
eut to France to take lessons from an
expert In the art of opening and re
seating letters. In 1812 the postmas
ters of Manchester. Nottingham aid
Glasgow were Instructed to "open all
such letters as should appear to be of
a suspicious nature and likely to con
vey seditious Information." and so re
cently as fifty years ago there was au
agitation to deprive the government
of the light to open letters passing
through the post The agitation failed,
however, so that your letters are still
liable to be opened, und the law would
be on the side of the official opener.

Saake Haatlas With Sosea.
When the Australian nborigine Is
pushed nnd ran find no other game, ht
catches snakes for fowl. With his won
derful brown eyes he can see the faint
est trail where a suake has zigzagged
through the dry uioss and leaves. At
nighttime his broad nostrils take up
the chase, and, stooping down among
the bushes, with a tough forked stick
In his baud to support him, he follows
the track as unerringly as a blood
hound. When he runs a snake to earth.
If he cannot surprise It In the open and
kill it by a sudden blow of his stick,
he squats over its hole, making, a low
hissing or whistling sound with his
Hps. Soon the snake puts Its head out
of the hole uml peel's round. In an In
staut the forked stick descends and
fixes it to the ground by the neck, and
the black fellow, seizing it behind the
head, so that it cannot bite him, drags
It out of the bole and either twists its
head off or pounds it on the ground
till Its back U broken.
Humanity and Marhlaerr.
Machinery is the cornerstone of mod
ern society, the very foundation on
which law, science, ethics, the arts,
even the state itself, rests. It Is so
new that we do not yet know Its
poetry. We do not yet understand.
Only two generations have lived be
tide the highway of steam; only one
has seen the Bessemer converter trans
form the blacksmith Into the master
builder of ships and towers. The sew
ing machine, the far speaker, the type
writer, nre common things of today, ac
cepted as a matter of dally conven
ience, and yet are they teachers of the
people. Machines that come close to
our lives and homes Inseuslbly teach
truth, precision, the adjustment of uni
versal laws to human needs, respect
for that wise Amcrlcau Idea that
labor saved is labor released for high
er and nobler toil., The machine Is the
bead master of the high school of the
race. Reader Mugailne.

even a more gorgeous affair than in
Paris. At a recent wedding ceremony
in Brittany the guests numbered 1,200,
and three bullocks were slaughtered
to provide them with meat. Wine was
consumed In large quantities, and In
addition forty barrels of cider was con

A Good Excnae.
After the Duke of Wellington's vic
torious campaigns the I'nlverslty of
Oxford complimented the duke him
self and his principal officers by con
ferring upon them the honorary nnd
not very appropriate degree of doctor
of civil laws. At that time the fees
were heavy, and one of the distinguish
ed soldiers, who had gathered more
honor than profit In the wars, declined
the proffered degree in the following
verse:
Oxford, I know you wish me well,
But prttheo let me be.
I can't, alas, be 1. c. L.

Violence.
Violence ever defeats Its own ends
Where you cauuot drive you can nl
wnya persuade. A gentle, word, a kind
look, a good nntured smile, can work
wonders aud accomplish miracles.
There Is a secret pride hi every human
heart that revolts nt tyranny. You
may order and drive an Individual, but
you cauuot make him respect you.
