Every woman has some chance of being
married. It may be one chanceto fifty against,
or it may be ten to one in her favor. But what
ever that is, representing her entire chances
at 100, her particular chances at certain de-
fined periods is estimated to be in the follow
ing ratio: When between is and 30 years OF
age she has ~ per cent. Of her whole proba-
bility; when between 30 and 20 she has SO
per cent between IS and 80 she has 10 per
cent. After 80 years she has lost s4t per
cent. of her chance, but until SO she has still
81 per cent Between 30 and 40 it Is 81 per
cent, and for each succeeding FIVE years is re-
spectively ., J. ] and I per cent. At any time
after 80 it is one-tenth Of one per cent, OF

A Holy LIFE IN LITTLE THrNas.--A holy
life is made up Of q number of small things.
Little words, not eloquent speeches or SER
mons little deeds, not miracles or battles, nor
one great, heroic act of martyrdom, make up
the true Christian life. The little, constant
sunbeam, not the lightning, the waters of
Sloan, " that go softly /" in their neck mis-
sion Of refreshment, not the waters Of the
river, great and many rushing down in tor
rent noise and force, are the true symbols of
. holy life. The avoidance of little evils,
little sins, little Inconsistencies, little weak
ness, little follies, little indiscretions and i'm
prudences, little foibles, little indulgences Of
self and of the flesh the avoidance If such
little things as these goes far to make up al
least the negative beauty of life.

Tho History of Postage Stamps.

Tho introduction of tho postal sys~
tom, as it at present exists in all
countries on tho globo has been crc>
ditcd to England, when, in 1910,
covers and envelopes woro devised
to carry the single rate, This plan
was adopted through tho oxortions of
Sir Rowland Hill, who has boon aptly
tormcd tho"iathor Of postage stamps"
1t now appears, however, that there
IS another aspirant for tho introduo-
ton of tho stamp system. In Italy,
as far back as 1918, lettor shoots wore
prepared, duly stamped in tho left
lowor corner, while letters wore do
livcrcd by specially appointed carriers
on tho paymant of the money which
tho stamp represented. Tho carly
stamp represented courier on horse.
back, and waa of three values. 1t
was discontinued in 1886. Whether
Italy or Great Britain first introduced
postage stamps, other countries after
ward began to avail themselves of
this method for the prepayment of
lettors, although thoy did not move
worry promptly in the matter.
Great Britain enjoyed the monopo-
ly of stamps for three years, and,
though tho first stamp were issued in
1910, she has made fewcr changes in
her stamps than any other country,
and suffered no ohango at all in the
main design, the portrait of Queen
Victoria. In othor countries, notably
in our own, tho Sandwich Islands,
and the Argentine Republic, tho honor
OF portraituro on tho stamps is usually
distributed among various high pub
lie oficors; butin Great Britain the
Quoon alono figures on her stamps,
and not ovon the changes that thirty
five years havo made in hcr face are
shown on tho national and colonial
postage stamps.
Tho next country to follow tho OK.
ample of England was Brazil. In
l843 n sorios Of throo stamps was is~
sued, consisting simply Of largo nu-
morals donoting the value, and all

cantons in Switzerland, and Finland,

The kind of mon who have held
responsible positions under the pres
Ont Administration may be judged
in general by the thirteen rectiIiers,
seven gaugers and storekoepers and
tho deputy collector at st. Louis, who
have withdrawn their pleas of not
guilty and acknowledged the crooked
corn. They have been bad men, but
as they are no longer under the bano>
full influence of tho Administration,
they may yet reform. Their contes,
sion Of guilt was probably the first
honest act that they have performed
since they placed themselves under
obligations to an axacting aud un~
consionable power.
