The Origin Of Postage Stamps.

The origin Of the stamp had tinge
of romance in it. It was thirty seven
years ago that Rowland Hill, while
crossing q district in the North Of
England, arrived at the door Of an
inn where q postman had stopped to
deliver letter. A young girl came out
to receive it; She turned it over in her
hand and ssked the price Of postage.
This was large sum, and evidently
the girl was poor, for the postman de.
manded a shilling. She sighed sadly,
and said the letter was from her broth.
er, but that she had no nouey; and 50
she returned the letter to the postman.
Touched with pity, Mr.. Hill paid the
postage and gave the letter to the girl,
who seemed very much embarrassed.
Scarcely had the postman turned his
back when the inpkeepers young
daughter confessed that it was trick
between her and her brother. Some
signs on the envelope told her all she
wanted to know, bus the letter con-
tanned no writing I'VE are both 80
poor" she added, THAT We invented
this mode of corresponding without
paying for our letters" TIE traveller,
continuing his road, asked himself if a
system giving place to such frauds was
not vicious one. Before sunset Row.
land had planned to organize the pos
tai service on a new hasis-with what
success IS known to the the world.

Mr.. Hallett, Of Bristol, England

MIR. Hallett, of Bristol, England
we'll known for his successful expert
ments in improving the quality and
yield Of seed grains, through careful
selection, in relation to this questions
says Very close observation during
many years has led me to the discovery
that the variations IN the cereals
which nature presents to us are not
only hereditary, Sut that they proceed
upon fixed principle. and from them
have deduced the following Law Of
developed of cereals; l. Every full
developed plant, whether Of wheat, oats
or barley. presents an ear superior in
productive power to any of the rest on
that plant. 2. Every such plant contains
one grain, which, upon trial, proves
more productive than any other. 3,
TIE best grain in given plant is found
in its best ear. 1 The superior vigor
of this grain is transmis>ible in different
degrees in its progeny. 5. BY repeated
careful selection the superiority is &C :
cumulated. 6. The Improvement, which
is at first rapid, gradually, after long
seies Of years. is diminished in amount,
and evidently s. far arrested that,
practically speaking, a limit to improve
u.ent in the desired quality is reached.
I. BY still continuing to select, the
improvement il maintained, ssad practi-
caliy a fixed type is the rcsuk.''
