POSTAGE FEES AVOIDED. A young man of Kovno, Lithuania, who at present is in gaol, discovered a new method of avoiding postage fdes, based on the regulation whereby unstamped letters are returned to the sender. ■ The youth addressed all his correspondence to fictitious addresses and instead of writing his own address on the back of the envelope he gave the address to which he desired that the letter should be delivered. Consequently when, the post office thought.it was returning the letter, it was really forwarding it to its proper destination.
