The History of Postage-Stamps.

The introduction of the postal system,
as it at present exists in all countries on
the globe, has been credited to England,
when, in 1880, covers and envelopes were
devised to carry letters over the king
dom at one penny the single rate. This
plan was adopted through the exertions
of Sir Rowland Hill, who has been aptly
termed the "father of postage-stamps."
II now appears, however, that there is
another aspirant for the Introduction of
the stamp system. In Italy, as far back
as 1918, letter sheets were prepared, duly
stamped in the left hand lower corner,
while letters were delivered by special
appointed carriers, on the prepayment
of the money which the stamp repre-
sented. The early stamp represented a
courier on horseback, and was of three
values. It was discontinued in 1886.
Whether Italy or Great Britain first in
troduced postage-stamps, other coun-
tries afterward availed themselves of
this method for the prepayment of let
ters, although they did not move very
promptly in the matter.
Great Britain enjoyed the monopoly
of stamps for three years, and, though
the first stamps were issued in 1910, she
has made fewer changes in her stamps
than any other country, and has suffered
no change at all in the main design
the portrait of Queen Victoria. In other
countries, notably in our own, the Sand
wich Islands, and the Argentine Repub-
lie, the honor of portraiture on the
stamps is usually distributed among va
rious 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 in her face
are shown on the national and colonial
pOstage-stamps.
The next country to follow the exam
pie of England was Brazil. In 1912 a
series of three-cent stamps was issued,
consisting simply of large numerals,
denoting the value, and all printed in
black. Then came the cantons in Switz-
erland, and Finland, with envelopes
which to-day are very rare, and soon
after them, Bavaria, Belgium, France,
Hanover, New South Wales, Tuscany,
Austria, British Guiana, Prussia, Sax
ony, Schleswig Holstein, Spain, Den
mark, Italy, Gutenberg, Trinidad, Wur-
temberg, and the United States. Other
countries followed in the train, until at
the present moment there is scarcely
any portion of the civilized globe in
habited by civilized people, which has
not pOstage-stamps.-St. NichLoas for
November.

The Law OF Nerup.pers.


l. Subscribers who do not give express notice
10 the contrary are considered as wishing to
continue their subscriptions.
2. If any subscribers order the discontinuance
Of their newspapers, the publisher may con-
tinue to send them until all arresrages are
paid.
g. II subscribers neglect or refuse to take their
newspapers from the offices to which they are
directed, the law holds them responsible until
they have settled the bills, and ordered them
discontinued.
4. If subscribers remove to other places with
out informing the publisher, and the newspa-
pers are sent to the former direction. they are
held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that refusing TO
take newspapers from the Office, or removing
and leaving them uncalled for, is prims facie
evidence of Intentional fraud.
6. The postmaster who neglects to give the
legal notice of the neglect of a person to take
from the Office the newspapers addressed tc
him, is liable to the publisher for the subscrip
ton price.

GOSSIP ABOUT YOUNG BENNETT The
announcement of the forthcoming mar
riage of James Gordon Bennett, the pro-
prietor of the New York Herald, is
again made. Mr.. Bennett has so many
times been reported matrimonially en-
gagged (once to Buffalo LADY,, that So
ciety is slow to credit the rumors of his
negotiation with Cupid, but this last
and fresh announcement is asserted to
be genuine by those who ought to know,
The lady named ss his future wife is
Miss Yznaga Del Vale, daughter of a
Spanish merchant, for many years a
resident of this city. She has been
called the most beautiful lady in Amer
lea, and is highly accomplished. She
has been greatly admired in society
here and in Europe, and has ever been
the center of charmed circle of friends.
Mr.. Bennett is certainly a most eligible
gentleman for a husband. His yearly
Income is about S70O,OOO; he has his
yacht, his four-in-hand, town house on
Fifth Avenue, country houses at New
port and Fort Washington, cottage al
Brighton, England, twenty blooded
horses in the stable, and newspaper.
He belongs 10 half dozen clubs, and is
very generous with his money. Mr..
Bennett and his sister, Miss Jeanette,
are all that is left of the Scotch Ben
netts Of this city, and rumor has al
ready named husband for Miss Ben
nett, who lives with her brother at the
family mansion, No. 25 Fifth Avenue

PASTORAL BUT NOT POETIC. The
shepherds pipe" is not always musi-
cal one nowadays. A story is told by
Horace Smith of a town lady who had
read much of pastoral life, and made a
visit to the country for the purpose OF
talking with a real shepherd. She at
last found one witn his crook in his
hand, his dog by his side, and the sheep
disposed romaDtically around him; but
he was without the indispensable musi-
cal accompaniment of all poetic shep-
herds, the pastoral reed.
"Ah, gentle shepherd" softly in
quired she, "tell me, where's your pips?n
The pumpkin scratched his head and
murmured, brokenly:
81 left it at home, miss, cause hain't
got no 'baccy."

Since the year 1894, observations of
the thunder-storms which have occurred
at Kremsmtinster, in Bavaria, have
been carefully and continually recorded,
almost without an exception. These
observations, extending over more than
a century, have recently been utilized
by w. Won Bezold in studying the pc
riodicity of thunder-storms, and he finds
that such storms are of most frequent
occurrence in years of high temperature,
when there are comparatively few spots
on the surface of the sun.
