A Model roslman. Here 13 a Helgian poslmin. Wo pride ourselves on onr own postal service, bat look at this man, who not only delivers letters punctually, n.artly, but tells stamps and )ot-cards and" acts as col lector of mall debts and newspaper agent. A llelgian who has money owing to him hands the bill to his postman, who passes it through the office to be pre-cnted to the debtor in whatever lo cality the latter may reside, and, if pay ment be made, the creditor receives it from his postman on the following day, witli but a trilling deduction for com mission. In the same way as to News papers. Almost all regular subscribers to a journal pay their money to the post man, and two or three days before the siib-cnption expires that hard-worked but ever active official presents the ouit tance d'abonneminl for the renewal of the subscription during a fresh term. AH this males of the Belgian postman a kind of ambulating general agency and bank of deposit, and naturallv the man is obliged to have a desk slung in front of him, to carry a locked and chained portfolio under his arm for valuables ; but he gets through his work satisfacto rily, because his beats are shorter than those of his Kngli.h brother; and at times when there is a great press of work he is always accompanied by a supernumerary. Let us note, in passing, nn excellent method of collecticg letters from pillar-boxes which exists in tier many (it originated at Munich), and is beginning to be adopted in some French cities. The letters," instead of falling into a bag, drop into a locked tin box, and the collecting postman, who goes his rounds in a licht cart, has only to remove the box and put an empty one in its place. In this'way the collections are not only made with great rapidity, but the chance of loss, robbery, damage of letters is minimized. Another good thing about some Continental posts is the clear indication which they stamp on an envelope as to the place and hour at which it was posted, "l'lace de la Bourse, Paris, leme," with the date; this means that the letter was posted at the place mentioned in time forthe sec ond collection of the day.

HOSRi The Lost Locoii.oliTO There is now being retold the story of the locomotive which run through a broken bridge on the Kansas Pacific Hallway across Kiowa Creek, several years ago, sinking into the mnd at the bottom and has nerer since been heard from, though repeated efforts hare been made, by digging and boring, to re cover so valuable a property. The bot tom is a quicksand, oat even quicksands have limits, and it seems very singular that the longest boring-rod has failed to find any trace of the sunken engine. tty and bv, the silent, mysterious oper ations will drain the quicksands and harden it into rock, and then long after the Kansas Pacific road has been for gotton and the Kiowa Creek has vanished from the mud, ome future scientist will discover a curious piece of mechanism, undoubtedly the work of human hand?, lyinfj under so many hundretlfeet of undisturbed sandstone, and will use the fact as a basis for calculating how many million years old the human race must be. Thus history will repeat itself, as it has often done and will continue to do. Exchange. ... 1 mem A passenger in a Boston street car pulled the vest button of the conductor and was surprised to hear a bell ring. A new device for stealing fares was thus discovered. iSell punches are used 'on that line", and the old plan of carrying a small gong in the palm of the hand to strike when pretending to puch a slip has become dangerous. So the plan of concealing the ong in the vest and con necting it with'a button was invented. A Judge's Ksperlence. Judge J. T. Boiler, of tot Tammany parish.
