FREAK LEI 1 ERS FAIL TO RUFFLE POST OFFICE TM Meet Weird Conc.ption• of Paw cels That Hav• seen Passed by an Englishman Through tM Mails Moat of us are content to send the usual letters. postcards. ur parcels by Post; but not so Mr. W. Reginald Bray of England. This gentleman claims to have the largest collection of postal curiosities to the world, and some of the articles described In this article bear out his claim. First, he set out to discover exactly what could be tient by post. headers will be sur- prised to hear that all articles of clothing, live persons, animals, liquids and bees have been posted as letters. The tirst item was au ordinary tin box used as a postcard. The address and stamp %i re attached Inside with paper fasteet-rs, and by an oversight it travelled to its destination with only a cent stamp. Even in the days before the uses of the halfpenny 'tamp acre curtailed, this box really required a penny stamp. Next on the list is a leather purse of the "marketing" variety. The ad- dress was written on the Inner lining. An old slipper, with the address and stamp on the sole, arrived Rattly, which is more than can be said about the little trumpet. '.his "came home to roost" In two sections. And. Judg- ing what trouble these out-of-the-way ;"packages" give the postmen, this 1s not to be wondered at. The "Dickie" Letter A leather glove was another "letter" Mr. Bray sent, while still another was a "gent's dickie"—and has a little story along with 1L When ported, this fragment of linen bore only the ad- dress, message, and stamp. The words "my dickie" were added by • post- man or sorting clerk of a humorous turn of mind, who perhaps recognised In it a distant relative of similar gar- ments of his own. But Mr. Bray did not end his attempts to puzzle the Post once with- "freak" letters of this description. He once sent himself and his bicycle through the post—of course. not by way of the letter box! —and. through an oversight. the clerk actually registered Mm for the sum of $26. He also trie l some of the most puzzling of addresses. Every postal district has its code number, which appears on the postmark Mr • :y discovered which post number -oriented his district, and sent Mw- . • . • • card. bearing that number in- stead of the name. It arrived all right. Still It. Il. let himself out in one or two places. He refused to micelle* his reputation as • man of eoesnon gree entirely.

One Way of Parcelling Another little feat of this ingenious gentleman 1s to send his friends post- cards from places which he himself has never visited. it's quite easy to do this. Address the postcard. and affix to It an unused stamp of the place selected—say, New York. Now you fold up a newspaper and put 1t in a wrapper, inside which is slipped the postcard. The newspaper Is then despatched to a fictitious address to New York Arriving there, 1t eventu- ally arrives In the Dead Letter Office and is opened before being destroyed. Then the postcard Is discovered in- side and promptly sent through the usual postal channels. ONE -LETTER NAMES • W.
