Anyone who -oto !outsell to do an impossible task is told that "he tries to cut smoke with a leather hatchet"; to do anything In the slow- est or must awkward way is said to be "ploughing w i1It dries"; a "penny wise and pound foullsh" person Is described as -Sat 'Ilk at the spigot and letting, it rile Ont of the bung- hole"; and a W ti,•11l,'lt"hlre descrip- tion of any ander,.lku,g that fails Is to say "that ,:,1,. - all dough."

"Bless my life ani soul, my gal, but what's this?'' f heard a Midland villager say as his wife )oared out a cup of weak tet for him. "'Tia water bewitched :in' tea begrudged, sure enough."' The saying applied to things slow but sure --"'Tis :Is long In coming as Cotswold barley" -explains itself to those who know the slow growth but excellent corn of the Cotswold country. Another Gloucestershire say- ing is "As sure DS Cod's in Glouces- tershire," probably an allusion to the large number of churches and meet- ing hooses formerly in that county. A brazen, impudent girl is describ- ed as having "rubbed her face with a brass candlestick"; of a niggardly person It is said that "he'd skin a toad for Its hide and tallow"; of an unlucky- man there runs a saying "he sups sorrow by spoonfuls;" and there is a proverb, "the black ox has trod- den on his foot," used when a man met with numernns misfortunes. Many of these r•onntry sayings are to be found in our early literature, rustic folk hand them on from father to son, they heroine part of their everyday speech, and noshing strange is thought of fin' phrase that may hold a clever epigram or contain in its kernel some hivlorienl allusion. 44 Demi-writ t.iv nays.

POSTOFFICE IS A GREAT 1)ETECFIVE Just how great a part the postal department plays in the detection of crime and criminals probably only the police department could reveal. These two departments cu -operate constantly and closely in the work of protecting the public, and many unlawful things would undoubtedly "get by" were it not fur the vigilant eyes and alert minds of the postal cfficiuls. A few days sr., there appeared in a local daily paper an advertisement to the effect that anyone sending the sum of ten cents to a certain ad- dress would be provided with a posi- tion as warehouseman a. good wages. The prosp,•ct lucked good to men out of work, :rad the sum of money asked for pointing the way to this promised lamd of employment. where the means u" buying nN1k and honey and the hundred other' things which we modern- consider necessities would be forthcoming, wasnot great only ten c'eins. Almost anyone, no matter how Unfortunate, can scrape up ten cents. And ten cents alone is not much us,' these days anyway, un- less it be to take a chance with. Su reasoned many men who saw and answered the :rdverlist•ment. So also reasoned the advertiser. But he went. further. He figured that while one single ten -cent piece was not much gond to the man who owned it, a cumber of 'hese small coins would be of much use to hint if he could get them. deuce the scheme. The morning after the advertise- ment appearen 200 letters, each eon- taining ten cents and addressed to this enterprising advertiser came in- to the Toronto postoffice. The ad- dress was looked up and was found to bevote 'house. Two red is an unusual num- ber of lett s to be sent to any ad- dress, especially a private house at one time. The letters were held over one, delivery, during which time the police, being notified, made prompt investigation and apprehepded the would-be reaper of this silver har- vest. The letters were sent to the dead letter office,, which department is very much alive to public interests, and from there were returned to the writers. When, quite recently Mrs. Ambrose Small received an anonymous letter from a woman promising t'o reveal to . her the whereabouts of heF missing husband on conditions that a large sum of money be sent to a certain address, the writer of the letter was located inside of twenty-four 'hours through the postal department, A man who had embezzled a con- siderable amount of money disap- peared and was searched for vainly by the police for a month.

In the majority of cases in which a male fugitive front justice uses the mails he does so to communicate with some woman -often a mother, more often a wife, still more often a sweet- heart, sometimes a sister. Women fugitives more frequently write to other women than to men. The general delivery is a depart- ment which comes in for special over- night on , the Tart of the postal officiate. Through the general deliv- ery paaae, some thousands of letters ' every day. While many holders of general delivery boxes are bona fide transients without permanent ad- dresses to which mail may be deliver- ed, many are held by people who for various reasons do not wish to have their mail delivered to their resi- dences. What an 'exciting time a persue gifted with some occult power, which would enable them to see through' sealed envelopes, would have if they: got a job in the general delivery db partment! There go letters of the man who is writing to another man's • wife, likewise the epistles of the I woman who is corresponding with an- other woman's ,husband. There go letters for the romantic maiden and youth who enjoy a clandestine style of correspondence, as well as for those who for some real reason dare not let their correspondence be known in their homes. To the general delivery also go sometimes letters for bashful men who have advertised for wives, and for cupid -forsaken women who have advertised for husbands. There is, however, a limit set to the length of time a person may re- ceive mail in this way. When that tine -limit is reached letters are mark- ed with a stamp kept specially for that purpose, requesting subscribers to send a permanent residence or business address. In this way undue use of the gen- eral delivery, which is maintained primarily for the use of transients who have, temporarily, no settled ad- dress, is curbed. MAYBE ADAM LAUGHED AT THESE?
