MISS AGNES JANSEN. The first photograph we give of Miss Agnes Jansen brings her before us at eighteen years of age, then a student at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. Under the guidance of her accomplished master, Hugo Beyer, she made such marked progress that she was shortly afterwards engaged to appear in the leading contralto _rôles_ at the Opera House of her native city. In 1885, on pleasure bent, she came to England, and, in the cause of a charity, made her _début_ at the Albert Hall, since when she has been continually sought for concerts in town and country. Only a few weeks back she appeared for the first time in a London opera at Covent Garden, where she is now performing. [Illustration: _From a Photo. by_| AGE 18. |_M.

II. The pages in the "Post Office Album," through which we were looking in our last number, are by no means exhausted. There is yet another curiously addressed missive to Her Majesty--"To the lady queen vicktorieha queens pallice London" (Fig. 1); the late Earl of Beaconsfield was also signalled out for an hieroglyphic wrapper (Fig. 2); the gentleman occupying the civic chair at the Mansion House in 1886 was the recipient of a somewhat remarkable envelope--sufficiently suggestive, however, to reach him (Fig. 3); whilst the Receiver and Accountant-General of the Post Office received a veritable puzzle in "Receive the county general Cheapy hall London" (Fig. 4). One remaining specimen (Fig. 5) here reproduced--which was actually delivered to the proper persons for whom it was intended--we will leave to those of our readers who revel in the unravelling of the mysterious. [Illustration: FIG. 1.] [Illustration: FIG. 2.] Turn over another leaf, and you are requested to make yourself acquainted with an interesting little Welsh town in Merionethshire, familiarly known as "Llanllanfairpyllghyllgheryogogogoch"; and the next page gives rise to unbounded sympathy for the unfortunate postman who dutifully delivered a letter to-- "Mr. Paddy O'Rafferty O'Shaugnessy, 'The Beautiful Shamrock' Next door to Barney Flynn's Whiskey Store. Knock me down entirely street, Stratford on Avon In the County Cork if ye like Dublin." [Illustration: FIG. 3.]
