Paris’s Poor Postofiice Facilities.

London Times. Paris has only sixty-five branch postoffices, and many of these are so crowbed in the middie of the day that much time is wasted in getting U letter registered or a money order j taken out or cashed. Stamps, indeed, can be bought of almost all tobacconists, but their postoffice business is confined to this. The authorities have resolved to try the English plan of appointing shopkeepers as postmasters, and a beginning has been made with eight shops in various parts of the city. If the plan succeeds it will be carried out on a larger scale.
