All mail matter for large cities should be directed to the street and number of the person or firm addressed, or to box number. Letters for large cities addressed to transient residents, and intended "to be called for," should be so marked Postage-stamps should be affixed to the upper right-hand corners of letters, and the use of envelopes of dark colors or fanciful forms should be avoided. Sealing-wax should not be used on mail matter in hot weather, nor at any time on letters directed to tropical countries.
