fered for about two months when I was

two bottles of it and it gave me perma-
nent relief," writes B. W. Hill of Snow

HISTORY iN STAMPS.
National Annals Are To Be Found in
Their Postage.
Everyone who has collected stumps
must have noticed the surprising ab•
sence of Sovereigns' heads from those
of Turkey. That this is so is due to
the fact that Mohammedans consider
a representation of the human face
or figure unlawful. Therefore Turkish
stamps carry the crescent, which the
Turks borrowed from the Byzantine;
after the fall of Constantinople. They
also us 1 a complicated, arbitrary
sign, supposed to be the signature of
the Sultan.
Egyptian and Grecian stamps are
peculiarly expressive of the history of
the countries which they represent.
The pyramids, the mystic Sphinx, tall
palm trees outlined against the night
sky, a train of camels stopping to
drink from the river Nile, all carry
us back to the very beginnings of
history and remind us that Egypt, the
mother of civilization, is still called
by her ancient name, and is yet a
growing power in the world she has
known so long.
Beautiful, artistic Greece, the home
of beauty. from which our sculptor -i
and architects draw their finest inspir-
ations, gives us pure classic lines on
her stamps, which show the famous
discus thrower, Hermes of the winged
feet, or a chariot race, or a tall, slim
vase, an antique mould.
The stamps of Persia show the lion
and the sun -the lion as a symbol of
power, arid the sun as an emblem of
the ancient fire worship of the Per-
sians.
Korea displays the plum blossom
on her stamps. It is the royal flower
of her last dynasty -a dynasty which
reigned for .500 years, until the hardy
little Japanese wrested it away.
The Mexican stamp hears the coat
of arms of the country, an eagle on a
cactus, holding a serpent in its talons.
This device is the outgrowth of a leg -
and that the first Aztec settlers chose
the site of their city from seeing an
eagle so engaged, and situated at that
spot.
Courteo a Rather Than ::eglectful.
When husband and wife go travel-
ing together, in the Orient, •the man
walks in front, careless and free, and
the woman walks behind carrying the
bundle. Therefore you say, "The
Oriental cares not for his worsen; lie
despises his wife and uses her as a
beast of burden," Most Occidentals
never get further than that. But if
you are observant you go out in the
Jungle yourself, and you discover
things. When you walk abroad, there
az.: difficulties and dangers. The paths
are overgrown and thorny, creepers
tn-1at he cut back, there are cattle and
buffaloes to be driven off, and buf-
faloes are ugly creatures; there are
snakes. In the villages are village
dogs, which snarl and snap. You are a
man yet you will be glad of someone
to go in front of you with a hatchet to
clear your way. No 'woman would
walk in front, and the nra,p,,snust be
free. Now you see the reason why the
man walks in front. If `you ¢want to
confirm it you inquire and find that
this is true. Thus the . Japanese, the
Burman, goes in front of his wife for
the same reason that the Occidental
goes behind -from courtesy. If he
continues to do so when it is unne-
cessary, as in towns where there are
roads, it is because a convention once
formed is' hard to break, east or west.
Penny -In -the -Slot Machine.
It has been generally understood
1• ` the penny -in -the -slot machine is
a modern invention. It will surprise
many • therefore when it is told that
more than 2, 1 years ago Egyptian
priests were using a device, the iden-
tical with that of the machines to be
found in most every railway station
to -day.
The ancient machine, the inventor
of which. was Hero, was used for sup-
plying sacred water at the doors of
the temples. A coin was dropped from
the top, fell on one end of a balanced
horizontal lever. which, being depress-
ed, opened a valve suspended from a
chain on the other end, and the water
thus begin to flow. When the lever
had been depressed to a vertain angle
the coin fell off, and the lever. being
weighted, returned to ',its scat, and
thus cut off' the supply.
Nilsson's Tribute to Patti.
When Christine Nilsson, the great
singer, was asked her opinion of
various singers she gave it very
candidly of every one, including
herself and Mine. Albani• but she
never :once alluded to Rinne. 'Patti.
"Yon have not mentioned Mine.
'atti," remarked the pertinacious
interviewer.
"No " said Mme. Nilsson. "1 have
not.
"No,"
are asking about singers.
T do not regard Patti as a singer. 1
place her among the angels. .A Patti
cerins to a planet only once during
that planet's existence." Such an
absence of stage jealousy has probably
never been equnlyd.
Music on the Jump.
Some years ago the Jones tinnily
had an old organ which had been
discarded by the young people of the
family, and they sold it to a German
family living near by. A few days
after the sale one of the little Ger-
man girls came to the house and
asked to see the young lady of the
house. Upon her going to the door
the little girl said, "Mother wants to
know if you can come over this
afternoon and teach Annie to play
on the organ, as we are going to have
company to -morrow?"
A Tiny Book.
The smallest book in the world
was made in Italy. It is not much
larger than a man's nail. It is four -
tenths of an inch in length, a quarter
of an inch' in width and contains 209
pages, each with nine lines and from
95 to 100 letters. The 'text consists
of a letter written by the inventor of
the pendulum clock to Mme. Chris-
tine of Loraine in 1615.
A Consolation.
The man who cherishes no hopes.
has no disappointments.
