Twelve Hours After.

Mr.. Henry Barnes, the tea and coffee merchant,
80 Houston street, New Haven, Conn, writes on
May 16, 1888: at is with feeling of gratitude,
and desire to benefit my fellow-man that
write you these few lines as testimony to the
value of the greatest of all medicines. Eight
years have been a sufferer from kidney disor-
der and Inflammation of the bladder. Sometimes
when passing water the pains were something
terrible, scading, burning sensation, with re-
tention of urine, with sharp pains in my side,
loins, ana back, extending clear to the back of
my head, tended to make life miserable. have
been treated by number of our best ply siciane,
and have used any number of proprietary medi-
cines, all to no avail, obtaining relief. How
long would have continued in this way do not
know; in fact despaired of getting relief, until
neighbor, who had been very much benefited
by the use OF Hunts Remedy, advised me to try
it; and, although had no faith that it would
reach my case, yet as he spoke SO highly of it's
great merits decided to give 1t a trial, and it's
use has been attended with the very best posi-
bic results. Twelve hours after taking the first
dose experienced relief. continued on in its
use until had used five bottles, when all the
pains had vanished, my otherwise good health
returned, and am free from all pains, and am O
well man. am confident my cure has resulted
from the use of Hunts Remedy, and that alone.
what 1t has done for me am positive il will
do for others. You are at liberty to my name

THE CHINESE HEAVEN,
The Only Direct Road Thereto Runs Through

New York World.
I'm this country" said Mr.. Wong Foo,
editor of the Chinese American, to a reporter
yesterday, 1.-THE Cinnamon of each province
live by themselves and take care of their
dead. There is a Chinese plot in Greenwood
and another at Belleville, N. J. / see that
several bodies have been removed from the
latter place and prepared for shipment to
China. Even in the grave the dead of each
province lie by themselves"
Are all the Cinnamon who die among bar
barians ultimately taken home"
Most OF them. not quite all, replied the
editor, g!ancing over the proof of slashing
leader on the spiritual effect of amputating
queues. There are about five thousand
Cinnamon IN New York. Forty of them re-
turn to China every month, and of this
number perhaps one-third come back If
any one going back to the old country has
dead friends here he takes them along. / do
not believe that more than five per cent. of
the Cinnamon who die in the United States
are permanently buried here Friendless
Celestials are left here, and no ones cares
whether they go to heaven or not"
Cannot one of your race get into Para
dise unless his bones rest in Chinese soil?"
No, sir; Cinnamon believe that the only
road to heaven lies through their country"
But if a good, virtuous Chinaman who
has kept his pigtail and his conscience in
tact dies in a strange land, will he be ex-
GUIDED from heaven because he is poor and
friendless?'
That's the doctrine" said Mr.. Wong.
according to Christians, no man can be
saved except through a certain belief, no
matter how good he is; according to China
men, there is no salvation outside of China.
One belief is about as rational as the other "

I'VE burn a little incense-paper, maybe,

occasions
What does the drink signify"
It's what you would call toast. We
drink peace to the soul of the departed,

We use any liquor that comes handy. Some

The Origin Of Postage Stamps.

The idea of an adhesive stamp affixed
to q letter. n indicative 81 the payment
Of postage. is much older Than has been
generally supposed. Ii is known that
the first suggestion If such an arrange
ment in modern times came from Row
ling Hill. the father of the cheap postal
system in England. about the wear 1889
or 1910. II was several years. however.
before his suggestion WAS carried into
effect. History. however, tells us that
the ancient German cit 'es Of Thnrn and
TaNis had such n system, which. for
inexplicablc reason. fell into disus. or
failed ote.ome general among nations.
The modern postage stamp then "a
first used in England abou, the year
1872 ar 1913. In 1915 T.. 4. Mitchell,
then postmaster II New Haven. taking
advantage Of the English idea. made use
of n postage stamp Of his own. which
he continued 10 use until lsi7.. when
the Government Of the United States
issued tie first American postage
stamps. They were in two denomina-
tons. The five-cent was of = light
brown color, bearing the head Of Frank
lin, and the tcn-cent of n gray color
with the efigy Of Washington. At that
time the rate Of letter postage was five
and ten e nts, according TO distance.
In 1851 \ series of six denominations
was issued. The one-cent stamp Was
blue. bearing an ellipiical band upon
which were the words: ~. =. =. u.
Despatch. Prepaid. n cent" Within
the band was an eagle with wings out
spread. Tie two-cent stamp was also
blue. bearing the head of Franklin: the
ihree-ccnt vcrmiliion. with head Of
Washington; the ~five-cent chocolate.
with head Of jefferson: the ien-cent
green. with head If Washington. and
thirteen stars in n scmi-circle above: the
t~welvc-cent was black. also with head
IT Washington. The twenty-four.
thirty and ninety-cent stamps were sub
s%equenily added to the series. The first
IF these bore the face If Washington;
the second was orange. with the head Of
Franklin. and the las; was dark blue.
also with the head of Washington.
