PARCELS The public is reminded that, In China and Japan, there is no such thing as Parcel Post. Much trouble and disap pointment is caused by persistent attempts to send small valuable tzifigs through the Post, Fans, Curios, Articles of Dress, Fancy Work, and similar presents are con- tinually being refused, the sonders having often spent more in Postage than would bave paid the freight by a eamer. No refund can be made on such parcels of the value of Stamps obliterated before the nature of the contents was discovered.

Miscellaneous Notices.
The Post Office is not, by law, responsible for any los or inconvenience which may arise from the non-delivery, mis-sending, or mis-delivery of any letter, book, or other postal packet (even if the packet be re gisterod); nor is the Post Office responsible for any injury which a packet may sustain during its transmission.
packets which are likely, to suffer from To guard against anch. Injury all postal stamping or from great pressure should be placed in strong covers and even with this precaution no fragile article 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 bag; and that, whenever the bag has in the course of its transmission to be transferred by means of the callway apparatus, the risk of Injury is much increased.
No information can be given respecting letters which pass through Post Office except to the persons to whom they are addressed; and in no other way is official information of a private character allowed to be made public. A Postmaster may, however, give an address if he has no reason to believe that the person whose address it is would disapprove of his doing so.
Postmasters are not allowed to return any letter or other packet to the wilter or sender, or to any one else, or to delay forwarding it to its destination according to the address, even though a request to such effect be written thereon.
The rule which forbids the transmission tarough the Post of any article likely to injure the contents of the Mail Bags or Boxes, or the person of any Officer of the Post Office is, of course, applicable to the Pattern Post; and a packet containing any thing of the kind will be stopped, and not sent to its destination. Artioles such as the following have been occasionally posted Patterns, and have been detained as unit for the Post, vis: Metal boxa, pores lain and China, fruit, vegetables, bunches of fowers, cuttings of plants, spurs, knives, scissors, needles, pins, pisces of machinery, sharp pointed instruments, samples of metals, samples of ore, samples in glass Postmasters, are not bound to weigh any bottles, pieces of glass, solda of various letters or other packets for the public, but kinds, curry combs, copper and steel ens they may do so if their duty be not thereby graving plates, and confectionery of all impeded. kinds.
Postmasters are not bound to give change, nor are they authorised to demand change; and when money is paid at Post Office, whether as change or otherwise, no question as to its right amount, goodness, or weight can be entertained after it has been removed from the counter.

The Bosphorus can only be approached from the north by a narrow strip of land in some places only 23 miles wide. It a line of works wore orcated across this strip, with its right resting on the Sea of Mar- mors, Constantinople would be secure. Au admirable position exists which is so sided by natural obstacles as to reduce the front to be defended to between 17 and 18 miles. This line extends from Lake Derkos. on the right, to the back- water of Buyuk Chekmege on the left. At. Bayak Chekmege there is a harbour, and the backwater a mile and a quarter wide -guarde for five miles the left of the position. The position then follows a range of hills commanding a broad and open valley, and offering every military advan- tage for purposes of defenes, and eventually. rests on Lake Darkos. Between Lake Says I, "I'll put a advertisement in to-Derkes and the Black Sea the only ap- morrow mornin'?'

There is abun daut supply of water everywhore, and the country is peculiarly adapted for the encampment of troops. The pro- posed line of defence could easily be constructed by encamping troops along the position who would throw up the accessary works. Since the introduo- tion of breech-loading arms it has been proved that a front attack upon a strong line of well defended works is practi- aslly impossible. In the proposed line
