Who Pay the Postage.

Taking an average of twenty-five cities
with the highest postal receipts, and we
find that the citizens pay an annual per
capita of $2.01 for postage. OF these
cities Boston, being the Hub Of the
universe, pays the largest sum, amount
ing to $951, 284 gross, or So. 80 per head.
New York pays 1915, and Chicago,
5000. But the Brooklyn per capita is
only forty-two cents, showing how large
q proportion of the inhabitants of the
City of Churches make use of it simply
as a caravansary, while doing all their
business in this grsat bazaar. Making
an average of the population and the
postal receipts of Brooklyn and New
York, and it appears that the per capita
is SO. 81 for the entire population. This
is less than that of San Francisco,
SO. 83; Indianapolis, 1921; and Pitts
burgh, $3.50; but it is greater than the
receipts at Albany, $1.91; Rochester,
ST.. 80; Providence, $1.79; and Cincin-
natl, $1.84. The more southern cities
do not patronize the postofice to the
same extent. Baltimore pays $1.28 per
capita; Washington S1.56; Louisville,
$3.50; Philadelphia, $1.43; st. Louis,
81. 43; Kansas City, $1.26, and New Or
leans, $1.06, being the lowest average.
The Detroit office receives 1924 per
capita; Cleveland, So; and Milwaukee,
ST. 81. 1t will be noticed from these
figures that the percentage of receipts
cannot be adjusted either to a scale of
climate or of business activity, and it
would puzzle Quetelet to establish a
law of postal correspondence from any
such data.-NesO York World.

Idle Ladies.

1t is pity that so many young ladies
look upon domestic service with marked
contempt. Many of our social difficult
ties would be almost entirely mastered
if young ladies would consent to become
lady-helps in their own homes. Moth
ing can be more intolerable than the
mismanagement and discomfort to be
found in countless households, where
there are plenty of grown-up daughters,
who have really but little to do but
grumble at the dreariness of their lives,
and fret themselves into permanent ill
health. Perhaps they take sufficient in
terest in the housekeeping to wonder
contemptuously how their mother can
be troubled with such inefficient SER
wants, creatures" who cannot even
make palatable coffee, or keep the sill
yer bright. They have no patience with
the shortcomings of the over-worked
housemaid, from whom they expect as
much attendance as if she had only
lady's maids duties to perform. How
ever unreasonable their demands, they
expect any servant in the house to be at
all times in readiness to answer them.
Half the young women one meets sink
into state of semi-imbecility, from
idIeness and want of interest in their
surroundings. From mere thoughtless-
ness and ignorance they grow up exact
ing and unreasonable. From want of
active exercise they become the prey of
hysteria, dyspepsia, and spinecomplaint.
They marry any one who will have
them, simply because they are so bored
that any change is welcome. They make
bad wives, because they have never
learned the rudiments of domestic econ
omy. When the unfortunate mother of
such daughters allows herself to be per-
suaded, against her will, to add lady
help to the establishment, the height of
absurdity is reached. Four or five COM
mon-place, stupid girls may lounge
about the house-one with a piece of
soiled fancy-work, another playing
snatches of dance music, a third reading
French novels on the sofa, while per-
haps a pretty, graceful lady lays the
fire, dusts the room, and endeavors-
probably in vain-to bring order into
the uncomfortable and chaotic estab-.
| lishment.

Health and Happiness.

Health and happiness go together.
There is no use of talking about it, for
they do. Not all the medicines or creeds
in the world can make bilious, nerv-
Gus, sick person happy. He must be
well before he can say, 81 am in good
condition in mind and body" There
are a great many wrong notions in the
world, and every body has i'm mbibed some
of them. All have prescriptions for
whoever complains. Some take this or
that nostrum; others lay all unhappi-
ness to the heart or conscience, while
the seat of trouble is the stomach or
liver And it will be so as long as the
world stands, unless a reform be made
in our habits.
In the first place, mans house
should be the most healthful, quiet, rest
full spot on earth to him. The religion
of u mans life should begin here; find
its spring and nurture here. All the
churches and meetings under the sun
cannot do or undo what his home does.
When he enters there, and shuts the
door behind him, he should feel that
the cares, duties, business, noise, smells,
and everything else of the outside world
are shut out. Here are relaxation and
rest. He throws off his former life as
be throws off his coat. When be sleeps,
he should do it as going into the land OF
forgetfulness to come back refreshed
and new. When he reads or chats with
his family, it should be as he would sit
down in an orchard to enjoy it's fruits,
or in a flower garden to be delighted
and soothed by its beauty and fragrance.
Home should be the club, library,
picture-gallery, and sanctuary. But
there are material arrangements, con-
nected with our social life; and not the
least among them are cooking and
breathing. Poor or partially cooked
| food will drive health out of the body
and happiness out of the heart; and bad
or no ventilation will ruin the peace ol
any house. One of the best and great
est blessings in house is an open fire.
place. 1t is where the members of the
family mostly congregate, and are in
the best spirits. The hearth-stone has
witnessed more cheerfulness, and lis.
tened to more pleasant words, and seer
brighter, happier faces than any othel
place in the world. The only prescrip
tion we give is, go and make your home
bright and healthful, and it will bt
happy.

Professor Huxley on Evolution.

Professor Huxley, the distinguished
English scientist, when in this country
(which he has just left gave a series of
lectures in New York on "The Direct
Evidence of Evolution" The following
are the closing words of the last lecture
of the series:
"When an inductive hypothesis is
demonstrated by facts in entire accord
ance with it, and such as might have
been reached by deductive processes, it
is firmly established; if the doctrine of
evolution had not been fully established
as firmly as and in the way that the Co
pernican system has been demonstrated,
beyond the possibility of cavil, nothing
has ever been or can be proved. The
only escape is to say that all these diff
ferent forms were each created sepa-
rately and at separate epochs, a belief
which can never be demonstrated, and
is not supported by any other evidence
or pretended evidence. The time will
come when such endeavors to escape the
conclusion will be looked upon as are
the views of those not yet wholly ex-
tinct writers who hold that fossils are
no indications of animals, but either the
sports of nature, or, as has been recently
gravely asserted, special creations to
test our faith.
"All evidence favors evolution, and
there is none against it. To the unin-
formed it seems an insuperable objec-
tion that geolOgists, astronomers, and
physicists say that not sufficient time
has elapsed since the earth grew cool
enough to support life for all these
changes of form. We look to the geol-
ogist and physicist for Information in
regard to the time necessary for the
production of these forms, the existence
of which we absolutely know. Let them
set the time; with that we have nothing
to do. There is no foundation for the
assertion that evolutionists demand an
impossible time; the biologist has no
way to judge of time; he takes his facts
from the geologist, who tells how long
it took to lay the rocky deposits. If he
says 500, 900, 900 years, we suppose he has
good grounds for saying so, and so loug
it took for the development; if he says
10, 100000 years, that was the time in
which evolution performed it's work.
Suppose Sir William Thompson says
that life could not have existed at such
or such a time; evolutionists will tell
him to discuss that question with the
geolOgists-we take what they say; il
does not concern us."'

Wife and l." they soon "kissed again
with tears" and Ben's maternal ances-
tor finally submissively and meekly
atoned for her display of bitterness by
appearing at the breakfast-table the
next morning, and with most favorable
results. Angela conducted herself with
much credit, showed such amiability
and evident desire to please, that in
spite of herself the old lady could not
but be friendly.
Ben was charmed beyond power of
expression, and the few days of his an
gels visit proved more of a success than
all parties had deemed possible before
hand.
Angela and Ben parted in high spir-
its, and both more in love than ever,
and looking forward to the conclusion
of the formers engagement at the Hip
podrome, at which time they were to be
married without further delay.
1t was the evening of the last appear
ance of Mile. Angela De Leon in the
chariot races at the Hippodrome, and
Ben, according to a promise given to
Angela at their last meeting, now made
his first visit to the city to witness his
angels triumphs and last feats in horse
mauship. The vast place was thronged
to overlooking, its thousand lights flash
ing, the music inspiring! One brilliant
display succeeded another, until the
chariots with their fiery steeds dashed
into the arena.
In blue and silver Mile. Angela again
appeared, standing in her chariot and
firmly grasping the reins in her tiny
hands, confident and happy as she
glanced up at Ben.
Wild with excitement, the horses
dashed with headlong speed along the
course, passed and repassed each other,
when suddenly there was a crash, q
shrek, groan, cloud OF dust, a rush
of grooms and attendants, and then, as
the whole of that vast assembly arose to
theirfeetspell-bound and breathless with
horror, the bloody and lifeless form o.
Mile. Angela De Leon was carried from
the scene.

Miss Eva Parker.

The following sketch of this fair
daughter of Illinois, whom we remem-
Der years ago to have associated with
in the traditional "red school-house, !"
in Groveland township, we find in an
Eastern exchange:
Miss Eva Parker, the daughter of a
farmer of Groveland, Tazewell county,
ILL.,, the wife of Robert Ingersol, the
great Republican orator, would be con-
sidered a rare woman in any age. An
atfectionate, tender, true-hearted, and
loving woman, she transformed the
reckless, careless, needless genius into a
great-souled, strOng-brained, versatile,
and pure minded man. Two daughters
are the result of this union. Few house
holds equal this in strong but tender af-
fectiOn, manifested simply and natur-
ally, without affectation and without
concealnent. When he goes on any
long journey his family always accom-
pany him. Together they went to Eu-
rope, together they made the campaign
in Maine and New York. Nor is hers
the masculine intellect that partakes OF
all triumphs and drives him forward be-
cause she is ambitious. Dress and So
ciety and place and position are things
she cares as little for as he. In intellect
she does not strive to be his peer, but in
all womanly qualities, in devotion to
him, in. wifely regard, in the domestic
virtues, she surpasses most women as
much as in masculine strength and
vigor he surpasses most men, and he re,
pays this affection with constancy, 8
care and attention, delicate Difference
to her wishes, and loyal devotion tc
her, that reveals the ideal lover of the
romantic school. There is, however, il
all this no sentimentality and no gush

Nor ASHAMED OF WORK.-Two of
the most agreeable girls we ever met
kept a grocery stOre-yes, and kept it
we'll, though they had been rich mans
daughters. When that father lost his
wealth, and became a confirmed invalid,
did they sit down and wiring their
hands? Did they go moaning all their
days, begging men to give them little
sewing, a little teaching, a little copy
ing? Not they. They began, in a small
way, to keep a dry goods and grocery
store. They gave fair measure and right
change. They kept what people wanted;
and if anything was called for which
they had not, they put it down in the
list of their purchases. They had the
cleanest, the incest grocery for miles
around, hired clerk, bought horse,
built house, and are at this moment
independent property-holders, as well as
piquant and agreeable women. 1t paid
them to step out of the beaten track and
find a new road to fortune.
