To guard against such injury all postal packets which are likely to suffer from stamping or from great presstire abould be played in strong covers and even with this precaution no fragile arbole should be sent through the Post. It should be remembered that every packet has to be handled several times; that it is exposed to considerable pressure and friction in the mall beg) and that, whenever the bag has in the course of ita transmission to be transferred by means of the railway apparatus, the risk of injury is much increased.
