Sealing Letters.

The Dutch Postal annual gives some
interesting information in regard to the
different modes which have been en-
ployed for sealing letters. For long
period ordinary beeswax was the only
material employed. Toward the middle
of the sixteenth century this was re-
placed by sealing wax, introduced from
India. By degrees this came into gen
eral use. The Oldest book in which
there is mention of sealing wax is a
treatise of one Garsias de Orta on "Aro-
mates and Simples," published in 1868;
and the first letter known to have been
sealed with wax is said to have been
written to Frederick Count Palatine by
French gentleman, sent on a mission
to the Court of Weimar. Waters made
their appearance somewhere about the
same time. Adhesive envelopes were
invented and first used in England about
184S. 1t seems very strange that SO
simple device was not thought of be-
fore. BY slow degrees even the most
conservative abandoned sealing wax and
waters; but they were long retained in
those strongholds of conservatism, the
English Government Offices. Sealing
wax makers occupation is now nearly
gone

A Wonderful Horse.

In Sullivan's stables, on Central ave-
nue., near Fourth street, there is at
present trained horse which is mar
vel of sagacity, and grace, and beauty.
He is gelding years old, out of a
Morgan mare by wild stallion captured
on the plains. He was raised and trained
by Mr.. Morris Lewis, of Indianapolis,
and is without doubt the most perfectly
and wonderfully-trained horse in this
country. The Directors of the Zoolog-
ical Garden are thinking of adding him
to the attractions of that resort, and on
Friday last Mr.. Lewis gave an exhibit
ton Of the horse before Mr.. Gilbert, the
business manager of the garden, and a
few other other gentlemen. There were
old, experienced horsemen and show
men present, and all united in saying
that they had never seen anything in
the way of trained horse to compare
with "Porter," for that is the name he
answers to. He waltzes, dances Jig,
walks on his hind feet alone, pretends
lameness, pretends sickness. lying on
his side and grooming dolefuliy, answers

The Rank OF France.

Feb. 20 was the seventy-eighth ami
versary of the foundation Of the Bank
of France. Three months after the
formation of the Government of the
eighteenth Brumaire, several bankers,
encouraged by the First Consul, and
backed by Councillor of State, M.
Cretet, who subsequently became Direc-
tor of the Bank of France and Minister
of the Interior, held meeting and de-
cided upon the creation of bank on the
model of the Bank of England. They
fixed the capital at Sc, 600, 900, in 80, 900
shares. at 5000 each. The Government
Immediately intrusted to this company
its current account, and bought 5000
shares. The bank has once suspended
payment, in 1914, when the allied army
entered Paris. The Provisional Gov

Americas Place at the Paris EXPOSE.
ton.

The Exhibition promises to be so ex-
ceedingly beautiful and 80 thoroughly a
success that one cannot help bitterly
regretting the small part which the
United States is to play in it. We are
to occupy but 5000 meters of space,
while England will fill $4,000 and Aus
tria- Hungary 5000. Some one has been
guilty of rare oversight, and that some
one is the people, never willing to let
the Government take charge of things
which it alone can manage. We lese
much more than can be adequately de-
scribed by allowing ourselves to be dis
tanced in this international festival, but
it is too late to change now. No doubt
our contributions will be extremely in
teresting, but there was certain place
for the United States to fill which she
has allowed England to take. Much
curiosity was excited day or two since
by the arrival of some mysterious-look-
ing cases containing the crown jewels OF
England; among others-so it is said,
although it seems difficult to believe
the famous Kohinoor, which has several
times been in imminent danger of pass
ing into the hands of thieves. A special
guard of English and French detectives
will watch these royal treasures, for
there are robbers on both sides of the
channel smart enough to spirit away
even the jewel cases if vigilance were
for moment relaxed.-NeD York Post.

Two Men Carried Over Niagara Falls.

Acorrespondent of the Buffalo Courier
writes from Chippewa, Ont. Our other
wise quiet village was cast into state
of great excitement last evening, about
7 o'clock, by the report that two men had
gone over the falls. Every house in the
village quickly rang with the news, and
at the Methodist Episcopal Church,
where revival services were being held,
slip of paper passed round caused
great excitement, one you.g lady faint
ing away. The news was too true. The
number of Niagara victims had been in
creased. 1t appears from what we can
learn that Capt. j. Riley and three or
four others rowed over to Port Day
early in the afternoon, followed soon af-
ter by his brother Patrick in his own
boat, which was very large and safe
craft. Patrick was in state of intoxi
cation, but his knowledge Of the river
brought him, in spite Of his condition,
safely to Port Day (the entrance to the
water-power canal Immediately above
the rapids). Capt. Riley, learning that
his brother was in town, determined to
return with him, and, on one of the par
ty volunteering to bring him over, he
replied, "No he is my brother, and it
is my duty to look after him." Some
time afterward their boat was seen by a
young man on Goat island, heading for
Chippewa for about quarter OF a mile,
when the Canadian current struck it,
turning its bow toward the falls, they
continuing to row without apparently
knowing the direction the boat had
taken. A boat started in pursuit, but
was soon obliged, on account of the near
ness of the falls, to desist, and they were
left to their fate. Soon their boat was
seen to upset, leaving the powerful men
struggling in the water, until the inter-
vening rapids hid them forever from
view

Shocking Deprayity.

A young Canadian 8-year-old takes the
palm for cruelty. She is the child of
Mr.. Charles Frost, of Berlin, Ont, and
being left with the care of sister of 5,
became angered because it interfered
with her frolics with her companions.
She determined to rid herself of the in
cumbrance, and began to abuse the child
in the most fiendish manner. First she
flied its mouth with snow, next dipped
it into quantity of water until it was
nearly drowned. Then it was placed in
the oven of the stove and burned and
bruised. and next thrust under the
stove. All these devices failing. she
went for a saw to saw it's head off, but
relented, and hit upon the plan of plac-
ing it in bag and dragging it about the
room. She was engaged in this pleasant
amusement when the horror-stricken
mother returned. OF course the inju-
ries proved fatal.

A Terrible Ride.

A tramp who was stealing a ride in an
empty car the other night, OH the Erie
road, attempted to jump off at Oxford.
A hook on the side OF the car, used for
fastening the door, caught the unlucky
fellows clothing at the waist and sus-
pended him in mid-air. The train
dashed on and he was carried to Grey
court, three miles distant, when some
one saw him, stopped the train immedi-
ately, and the man was taken from his
very dangerous position. There was not
a scratch on his person, but the mental
suffering be had endured. expecting mo.
mentarily to be dashed to pieces, COM

In China, rs in all other countries,
marriage is looked upon as the principal
social event in the life of man. Not
that it is regarded as the seal put to an
engagement guided by affection, for
where marriage is arranged by go-be-
tweens, and where concubinage exists,
affection between husband and wife be-
comes a matter of secondary import
ancc. Next to being childless, the
greatest misfortune which can overtake
married couple is to die leaving their
sons unmarried.

difficulty that he obtained an interview,
as the domestics informed him that the
lady was indisposed and confined to her
room.
my business" he said, sis of very
great Importance, and 1t is absolutely
necessary that should see her."
After the lapse of half an hour, a
middle-aged, handsome, stately lady
entered the parlor, and, gazing with
considerable dignity at her visitor,
said:
"what is your business with me,
sir?"
"Let me shut the door, ma'am," he
said, and, quickly stepping behind the
lady, closed the door.
II think we have met before,
ma'am," he said in firm but respectful
tone.
"Sir |" the lady exclaimed in offend
ed accents.
st am sure we have met before,
ma'am," the man said.
"You are mistaken, sir, the lady re-
piled, utterly mistaken, sir you will
oblige me by quitting the house imme-
diately."
"You forgot last night, ma'am, in the
vault" the man said in a low tone.
The cheek of the lady evidently
blanched, and she gave gasp foI
breath. Instantly recovering herself,
she said:
"I don't understand you, sir. You
are laboring under a mistake"
"Well, 1 may be-" the man replied
"that's fact; but my impression was
that saw you last night in the vault
when you were trying to remove the
ring from the finger of what you sup
posed to be corpse"

was deadly pale. BY powerful effor
