An Englishman wished to reach a customer living in a remote part of Balham, one of the suburbs of Lon don, and it was very urgent that be And him quickly. Knowing nothing of the locality, be called at St Martin le Grand to con sult a directory. Stating bis case to a clerk, be was amazed to learn that he could be sent to the address by parcel post by paying a fee of three pence a mile. Tbe gentleman naa never heard of such a thing, and it Is said that very few In England know that it can be done. Accepting tbe offer, the gentleman was placed in charge of a messenger familiar with all parts of tbe city and was soon on his way. The boy carried a printed slip on which was written a description of the "parcel" in charge, under the heading, "Article required to be delivered," and before leaving tbe customer's bouse both the cus tomer and tbe gentleman were re quired to place their signatures on the paper. Tbe limit in weight for anything de livered by parcel post In England is generally understood to be eleven pounds, but there is one clause which reads, "A person may be conducted by express messenger to any address on payment of mileage fee." Argonaut BOUCICAUU'S PROFITS. Him The Playwright's Fame Clung to Better Than His Riches. Dion Bouclcnult received 1300 for his share in the authorship of "London Assurance." Tbe way in which be spent that sum was an indication of things to come. He bought two horses, a cnb and seven new coats. Ills ex travagance reached a climax over "Babil and BIJou," produced at Covent Garden In August, 1872. Tbe money was found by Lord Londesborough, and Boucloault (with him Planche) was under contract to produce some thing that might be called dramatic. What was produced was a gorgeous and Incoherent spectacle, with red lob sters recumbent at tbe bottom of the sea. Bouclcnult, who had run up bills to tbe extent of 10,000 or so, did not stay for the production, but betook himself abroad. All that persists of this magnificent fiasco Is tbe boys' cho rus, "Spring, Spring, Beautiful Spring," which was retained almost by chance. But Boucicault was better known by his Irish dramas that are fresh today, as "The Shaughraun," "Arrah na Pogue," "The Colleen Bawn" and the like. By these he became rich and fa mous, but bis fame clung to him bet ter than bis riches.

Open the wlndowl" "Why, Jacky. my dear," cried the old lady from tbe landing, "whatever's wrong with tbe stairs?" "Stairs!" cried the weather worn tar, with ineffable contempt "What do 1 know about stairs? Just you open tbe window and lower a rope to tbe main deck, and be quick about HI" London Express.
