The Origin of Postage Stamps.

The idea of an adhesive stamp af-
fixed to letter as indicative of the
payment of postage, is much Older
than has been generally supposed. 1t
is known that the first suggestion of
such all arrangement in modern times
came from Rowland Hill, the father
of cheap postal system in England.
about the year 1889 or 1910. 1t was
several years, however. before his
suggestion was carried into effect.
History, however, tells us that the
ancient German cities of Thurn and
Taxis had such system, which, for
some inexplicable reason, fell into
disuse or failed to become general
among nations. The modern postage
stamp, then, was first used in Eng
land about the year 1912 or 1843. In
1S45 E. A. Mitchell, then Postmas-
ter of New Haven, taking advantage
of the English idea, made use of a
postage stamp of his own, which he
continued to use until 1S47, when the
Government of the United States is
sued the first American postage
stamps. They were In two denomi-
nations. The 5-cent was of light
brown color, bearing the head of
Franklin, and the 10-cent OF gray
color, with the effigy oil Washington.
AT that time the rate of letter pos
tage was and 10 cents, according TO
distance. In 1851 Il series of six de-
nominations was issued. The l.cent
stamp was blue, bearing an elliptical
band upon which were the words
~. 5. p, O. Despatch. Prepaid, one
cent" Within the band was an eagle
with wings out-spread, The 2-cent
stamp was also blue. bearing the
head of Franklin the 3-cent, YER

Preserving Fence Posts.

Mr.. Parker Earle, the well known
hOrticulturist, writes to the Chicago
Times:
"In building a fence around our
your orchard, several years ago, we
tried many plans for preserving the
posts. Having occasion to remove
the fence this winter, we noted the
condition of the posts as follows !:
Those set with no preparation were
decayed an inch or more in thickness;
thu Sc coated with a thick wash of lime
were better preserved, but were quite
seriously attacked by worms; those
posts coated with hot tar were per-
fectly sound as when first put in the
ground; those painted with petroleum
and kerosene were equally sound and
as good as new. In future we shall
treat all posts in the following man.
ner before setting: Let the posts get
thoroughly dry, and then. with pan
of cheap kerosene and a whitewash
brush give the lower third of tn post,
the part to go into the ground, two
or three applications of the oil, letting
1t soak in well each. time. Posts so
treated will not be troubled by worms
or insects of any kind, and will resist
decay to remarkable degree. This
we find to be the simplest, easiest
cheapest, and best method of preser-
vation."

4 Model Fruit House.

! Pennsylvania man with 2 fancy for

describes as follows:
80 economic space tits built square,
lfiy feet each way. 1t has two walls of
stone. each twenty-five inches thick,
with an open space between of twelve
inches, and this space filled in with
charcoal. as Il uon-conductor OF heat. -
Inside Of the inside wall the ice is piled
four feet thick, maintained in place by
studdiug and boards. Below the floor
is another four feet OF ice resting ON a
foot of charcoal, and above the room
the ice il eleven feet thick with three
inches Of wood above that; and when
he build, another (if he ever docs) he
will make the ice fifteen feet thick
above and six feet 1T the sides. Still this
one works we'll; il never freezes in win
ter nor does it waste ice rapidly in sum
mcr. The temperature i always from

bic. Ii one should happen to get shut
in i would not be easy TO get an alarm

from above is conducted down below
the under floor in pipes and discharged
where it will do the least harm. II
takes from 1000 to 1920 tons of ice to
fill this house, and it is supplied from
an artificial pond ON the place. The
cost OF filing is estimated at about 10
