TuE nIsToRY OF posrAeE STAMPS.


The introduction of the postal sys.
tenn, as it at present exists in all coun.
tries On the globe, has been credited
to England, when, in 1910 covers and
envelopes were devised to carry letters
all OYER the Kingdom at one penny
the single rate. The plan was adopt.
ell through the exertions of Sir Row.
land LII, who has been aptlv termed
the father of postage stamps" 1t
now appears, however, that there is
another aspirant for the introduction
of he stamp system. In Italy, as far
back as 1918, letter sheets were pre-.
pared. duly stamped IN the left lower
corner, vhi @ letters were delivered hv
specially appointed carriers, on the
payment of the money which the
stamp represented. The early stamp
represented a courier on horseback
and was Of three values 1t was dis
continued in 1886. Whether Italy or
Great Britain first introduced
postag stamps, other countries af.
terward began to avail themselves Of
this method for the payment of letters,
although they did not move very
promptly in the matter.
Great Britain enjoyed the monopo-
ly OF stamps for three years, and.
though the first stamps were issued in
1910, she had made fewer changes in
stamps than any other country, and
has suffered no changes at all in the
main design the portrait of Queen
Victoria. In other countries, notably
i'll our own, the Sandwich Islands, and
the Argentine Republic, the honor of
portralture on the stamps is usually
distributed amony various high public
officers; but in Great Britain the
Queen alone figures on her stamps,
and not even the changes that thirty.
five years have made ia her face are
shown on the national and colonial
postage stamps.
The next country to follow the ex-
ample of England was Brazil. In
1912 series Of three stamps was is.
sued, consisting simply of large nu-
merals denotiug the value, and all
printed in black. Then came the can.
tons in Switzerland, and Finland, with
envelopes which to day are very rare,
and soon after them, Bavaria, Belgi.
um, France, Hanover, New South
Wales, Tuscany, Austria, British
Guiana, Prussia. Saxony, Schleswig,
Hostein, Spain, Denmark, Italy, Old
ehburg, Trinidad, Wurtemburg and
the United States. Other countries
fallnwed in the train, until, at the
present moment, there is scarcely any
portion of the globe, inhabited by
civilized people, which has not post
age stamps.

The language Of laughter is a curl
Gus study. IL expresses almost every
passion, human and inhuman. Some
laughs are catching. Every bady has
them just by hearing them. They are
the mnst contagious complaints in the
world Others have no character at all
aud have been described as "the crack.
ling o. thorns under a pot" Never
think you have the complete measure
of nan till you have heard him laugh.
II may betray in an instant what he
would not disclose in a thousand words.
A hard, dry laugh is as,rt of geologist.
1t detects the streak of iron hidden in
the laughter. Every person knows
somebody with scattering laugh, hut
gentlemen never spatter only iRdiCida-
ais. Earnestness and laughter do not
belong together. Nature never laughs,
though one of the Huwitts says of
Australian soil, ''ynu tickle it with the
hoe, and it laughs with the harvest" "
But nature is always earnest. She
seems to smile but she never laughs.
The most G. ntemptible of the whole
exclamation nation is the giggle You
always feel like strangling it, ard wish
it had been with the unhappy little
Princess in the Tower. 1t is worse
than n litter, for it is noiser. 1t is
worse than sneer. You can Kick a
sneer, but you cannot kick giggle
any mnre than you can make footballs
of soap-bubbles.

J. A. Campbell, recently appointed
Third Assistant Secretary of State,
has occupied the Gubernatorial Chair
of Wyoming for several years back.
During the War he was on General
SchOfield's staff, and, as he emerged
from the conflict without any painful
evidences of his participation in its
dangers, and as l never heard his
courage impugned, l am forced to
conclude his marvellous escapes must
have been due to his microscopic
proportions, as only the frequent use
OF powerful field glass would ac-
quaint the enemy with his presence,
and such observations would dis
courage them from pointing their
guns III his direction. To be explicit.
and at the same time frank, he is
very little in stature, and very ugly
in phyoiOgnOmy, and boasts of a
very pretty, lovely Mrs. Campbell.
He evidently is a man of determin-
alton, and, if he manages our affairs
of state as successfully as be piloted
his g0uire du c9ur, we shall certainly
have in our midst Daniel come to
judgment.
PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE AC-
COMPLIsH WONDERS.
For several successive winters
Wyoming mOurned the loss of her
Governor, absent on Official busi-
ness" in Washington; and several
consecutive summers found him first
at this resort and then at that, always
paying devoted homage at the shrine
of modest, refined, sweet faced girl, =,
the niece of one of our Justices. He
offered her his heart, which she re-
fused to accept; he returned to the
charge and asked for her hand, which
she politely declined to extend.
Nothing daunted, he kept on the
even tenor Of his way, as if there
was no such word as a negative In
