Delicate Methods Employed by Them In Opening Letters— With a Little Patience They Overcome Gum, Sealing Wax or Metal Fastener. | The incident which occurred in the | French chamber concerning the viola- tion of the secrecy of a letter addressed | | to M. Delcasse by a high official of the | | ministry of marine has stirred the pub- lic, which is surprised that such pro- ceedings take place under the third re- public. Created in 1830, the cabinet | noir was a permanent office under Louis Philippe and Napoleon III, who used and abused it in order to learn the political secrets of their opponents. It Was generally believed by the public | that the office had long been suppressed | | by the present government. But after } the incident mentioned those who still | believe in the secrecy of the post, of the | | telegraph or of the telephone exhibit an incredible credulity which is extremely rare at this fin de siecle. Those who are so imprudent as to write their in- most thoughts concerning any politician in power will be wise no longer to im- | agine that a letter which arrives at its | destination apparently unopened has ' mot been read bya third party. As is well known, it is also easy for an offi- cial to learn the secrets of the telephone | by applying his ear to the receivers at | the central office, and by so doing to intercept phrases which are both in- structive and amusing. It now appears that the postoffice officials also give themselves up to the delicate pleasure of satisfying their curiosity. They employ 20 different methods in order to assuage their professional in- quisitiveness. If an envelope is closed in the ordinary manner by a thin layer of gum, they have the choice of two strong they slip with great precaution w very thin but not cutting blade be- | pen rt Nave svete s = Le = The Thing For Spring?

These proceed- ings are extremely simple, and the cor- | respondence of many masters and mis- | tresses has often been slyly treated in | the same way by an inquisitive domes- tic. This industry requires very little skill, and the only capital necessary is | a small amount of patience. The more | suspicious individuals fasten their let- | ters with sealing wax and imagine that they are conseguently perfectly safe ‘from any surreptitious attack. The | officials cf the cabinet noir, however, | are not so easily defpated. By judi- i ciously bending and twisting the part of the paper surrounding the seal they | gradually detach the latter, which fina)- | ly remains unbroken in their hands with | aw very thin layer cf paper adhering to | it. After examining the contents of the | letter they replace the seal intact at the | exact place which it previously occu- pied, and both the sender and receiver of the letter remain in blissful igno- rance of their maneuvers. | Other correspondents, even more sus- picious, are not satisfied with gum and | wax, but supplement them by a small metal fastener, which is guaranteed by its inventor to reuder any tampering ' with a lettcrimpossible. This, although | its efficacy is far from that promised by | the stationers, certainly complicates the | work of the intruding official. He rises | to the circumstance, however, and after carefully removing the stamp and mak- ing @ cress cut on the square from which *%t has been removed he intro- duces a email steel instrnment with a ' special hook at the extremity. This | hook grips a corner of the letter, and by | carefully twisting the sheet round the | stem of the instrument it can be finally | e xtracted withont any apparent injury. | If by chance the note paper is refractory | and cannot be twisted owing to its stout- | hess, the operator cuts the entire length of one side of the envelope. The con- tents are easily obtained in this man- ner, but the reclosing of the envelope requires much delicacy of werkmanship au’ is, in fact, almost w orthy of an artist.

This phase of the work, although rather difficult to @ novice, issoon acquired by 1 practice. There are many other tricks employ- ed, some of which speak volumes for human ingenuity. It sometimes hap- pens, nevertheless, that a letter baffles all the skill and experience of the entire department. In that case their means are rough and ready—they suppress it altogether. The exterior appearance ct the letter addressed to M. Delcasse be- trayed the work cf the Cabinet Ncir. This proves not lack of skill of those in- trusted with such an important but un- derhand duty, but simply negligence.— London Globe. Tlie Critic Answered.

Now look. at the question from a business standpoint. In the first place what would be the cost to save the tooth and keep it good for a lifetime? Perhaps $1.00, and you will have your own teeth in your heau, and they were most certainly put there for use Sow think of this—i:f you had a wart on your finger, that troubled you, would you have the finger cut off to remove the wart? Why certaintly not Well, why loose a tooth to remove an ache. We can stop toothache and save the tooth, and garantee them never to ache again. Artificial Teeth must be good ‘o be satisfactory. We guarantee satis- faction or we don’t want your money. You can call inin the morning and have BERLIN DENTAL PARLORS e your Oren evenings 7 to 8.
