RGrA woman is far more sensitive
than man. She has finer feelings and
a more delicate mind. There are very
few who realize this, and in consequence
woman is made to endure much unne-
cessary suffering. One of fourmerchants
was going to church with his wife on
Sunday morning, when she suddenly
stopped, and put her hand to her head.
"What's the matter ?" he asked, star
tied by the look on her face.
"Oh l have got on my brown hat. "
"Eh?" calculated the astonished
man.
She burst into tears.
"Why, Martha, what is the matter
with you?" he demanded.
"Don't you see what is the NATTER"
she returned in sobbing voice. "I've
got on my brown hat with my striped
silk. Oh, what will people say2"

The Origin Of Postage Stamps.

The origin of the stamp had tinge
OF romance in it. 1t was thirty-seven
years ago that Rowland Hill, while
crossing district in the north of Eng
land, arrived at the door of an inn where
a postman had stopped to deliver let
ter. A young girl came out to receive
1t; she tlrned it over and over in her
hand and asked the price of postage.
This was large sum and evidently the
girl was poor, for the pOstman demand
ed a shilling. She sighed sadly, and
said the letter was from her brother,
but that she had no money; and SO 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 young innkeeper's daugh-
ter confessed that it was trick between
her and her brother. Some signs on
