stamps.

The use of postage stamps on letters
and newspapers is merely a new appli-
cation Of an old invention Revenue
stamps are comparatively new with us,
but they have been known in Europe
tor nearly two hundred and fifty years
The Dutch have right to whatever
credit may be due tor such an inven-
| ton. Early in the seventeenth centu-
ry the States of Holland had laid
heavy duties on merchandise Of every
sort, and still the income of the Gov
eminent was not equal to the eXpendi-
tnre. They Eow offered an ample re.
ward TO any one who should invent a
new impost; one that would at the
same time be light on the people, and
be productive to the public treasury
Some shrevd thinker proposed that it
should be enacted by public authority
that no petition should he received,
that no document should be admitted
i'll courts OF justice, that no contracts
OF any kind should be valid. except
such as We're written upon paper i'm
pressed with the seal OF the State
This appeared to the Hollanders a
happy idea. and stamped paper was
introduced at once (l624) by an ordi-
nance which represented the necessity
and the great benefit of the new tax.
Stamped paper, it was claimed, would
tend to lessen the number Ut lawsuits,
and tor that very reason. If for no
other, would soon be adopted by other
nations.
The Dutch were right In less than
fifty years trial Of stamp duties was
made in England-though not tor the
purpose OF le>sening litigation, perhaps
and other nations were not slow TO
follow. Indeed, the Spaniards are
said to have been ahead OF he English.
At the present day this Dutch fash
ION holds its ground over large part
Of Christendom. A slight change, it
| IS true, has been made. At first the
blank for the writing was sold with
| the stamp and it was necessary for the
Government to invest large amount
in paper. The improvement consisted
in selling the stamp separately, as is
now done in most cases
When the uniform cheap postage
commenced IN England, somebody
suggested the idea of paving postage
by means OF stamps, and the plan was
adopted in 1910. Seven years later
the Postmaster-General of the United
States was authorized to prepare post.
age stamps and to furnish them to the
post offices throughout the country
In 1852 stamped envelopes were au-
thorizea in the same way.
At first the writer could place a
stamp on his letter, or nay the postage
aud send it without any stamp; but
since the beginning of the year 1856
it has been the duty OF the postmaster
to place stamps on all letters on which
stamps had not already been placed
that is 10 say, if the postage had
been paid.
In 1861 the Postmaster General was
authorized TO procure and furnish let
ter sheets with postage stamps i'm
pressed thereon but the method o
folding these so that, when sealed
their contents cannot be read, may al
most be reckoned among the lost arts
and there is, consequently, very littl
call tor this kind OF stationery.

AYousGmamma, on the important oc-
casion of making her little boy his first
par of trowsers, conceived the idea
that it would be more economical to
make them of the same dimensions
behind and before; SO that they might
be changed about and wear evenly
Their effect, when donned by the little
fellow was very ridiculous. Papa, at
first sight Of the baggy garment, burst
into roar of laughter, and exclaimed,
ooh, my dear, how could you have the
heart TO do it? Why, the poor little
fellow won't know whether he's going
to school or coming home..'

Robert Blackwell, the celc.
brated English farmer, used to
tell the following anecdote of a
farmer in Liecestershire:
This farme~, who owned
and occupied one thousand acres
Of land, had three daughters
When his eldest daughter mar
ried, lie gave her one-quarter of
his land for her portion, but no
money; and he found by a little
more speed, and a little better
management, the product of his
farm did not decrease. He
then set to work, and began to
grub up his furz and fern, and
plowei up what he called his
poor, dry furz, coy ering in some
places nearly half the land
After giving half his land away
to two 70 his daughters, to his
great surprise he found that his
product increased; he made
money because his new, broken
up furz land brought excessive
crops, and at the same time he
farmed the whole Of his land bet
ter, for he employed more la
borers upon it; I've rose two
hours sooner in the morning,
had no more dead fallows once
in three years: instead Of which
he got two green crops in one
year, and ate them upon the
land. When the third and last
daughter married, he gave her
two hundred and fifty acres. or
half 70 what remained, for her
portion, and no money. He
then found that he had the same
money to farm one-quarter OF
the land that he had at first to
farm the whole
