Postal improvements.

Nothing better shows the progress Of
the race than the modern facilities for
postal communication, compared with
the past, In the ancient world, among
the Assyrians and Persians, stations were
established days journey apart, and
he-semam travelled with all possible dis
patch from one 70 another. From the
establishment Of the roman Empire
down to the thirteenth century couriers
were employed for the quick transmission
of dispatches. But the remarkable thing
about thin system was that the general
public got DO advantage in the way Of
communication, as it was only govern
ment dispatches which were allowed to
be sent by these posts. The first courier
system TO transmit private letters was
adopted in 1916. It is worthy of note
that when the Spanish invaders entered
Peru, 10 1927, they found postal Bys-
ten, In existence by which messages were
transmitted by corpse of swifs.footed
runners. Our own postal system was
organized in ITO. In'l753, Ben. Frank
liz was Postmaster. General, and in l760
he startled the country by running pos.
tai wagon from Philadelphia through
New York to Boston once week. Since
then the income of the post. Office has
steadily increased, and the charges as
steadily decreased. In 1916, letters sent
under forty miles were chasged eight
cents and over 500 miles twenty FIVE cents.
Now half.ounce letter is conveyed to
any part Of this vast country for two
cents. At this rate their would be
large profit over the expense, were it not
for the astonishingly low rate charged
for newspapers and periodicals.. The
two cents q pound which is the rate On
printed mat.eris only fraction of The

An Outfit.

People of this day would be greatly
Interested they could b8 brought TO
imagine clearly what was considered on
outfit for dsnghter in the olden time
not 80 olden, either, after all. Whatever
else the daughter might have, there
would be 10 the foreground d pair Of
cards and q spinning Vhssi! Sometimes
the outfit would consist of bed, coffee
pot, a skillet, cow and a calf In add:.
ton, but the cards and the spinning
wheel would be foremost. But gradual,
lY these latter articles have been almost
wholly dispensed with, and now, it is not
frequent tho: we hear the }hura of the
spinning siIeel, or the raking sound of
the cards. Machinery has come in and
the picture has been changed, all within
twenty ,five or thirty years. ,}.s,.,
It would be quite; interesting to Soma
OF our young people of this day to wit
ness o tablenu faithfully representing
tho 0ideb, time, when there were no cook.
stoves and no sewing machines or reap.
ers, and everything was done by hand.
We shall always have the Highest re-.
spect for those 'old.tims peopie who
taught their daughters 10 spin and weave.
and cook and do whatever was necessary
to Iaake home independent and comfoff-

Man and Fishing.

Fishing was far earlier mode of sup.
poIt;pg human life than agriculture.
However far back in the stream OF ter
restrjal events VIC suppose it allowable
to carry the date of mans appearance on
the scene. still he must have been pre-:
ceded by fish. The rivers, lakes and
seas. when he first looked upon them,
must have been peopled very much as
thew are this day. There was IS great
variety of species, and probably much
the same inifntude Of individuals IN
some Of these species. And as a savage
population must be always sparse, anu
in any locality few in number, their sup
ply of food from this source could only
be limited by their inability to capture
il. What the wild game of the forest
and of the open plain were to the INLAND
hunting tribes, the fish of the fresh and
salt water were to the riverine and mari
time tribes. Between these early days
and the first beginnings OF agriculture
vast periods Of time must have elapsed.
First, because in these, and more or less
in all latitudes, nature offered to man no
plant that in its unimproved state was
worth cultivatipg. The suitable form
had to be evolved or created by long pro.
cesses Of observation and selection. This
is why we know nothiDg Of the parentage
of wheat, barley, oats, rye, beans or
maize, end Why the !rnpieal bread fruit
plantaim, banana, and !sugar.cene have
lost the power of producing seed, and so
of reproducing themselves this must
have been the result of long ages OF
human selection. Nothing of the kind
had to be done for fish. There it was as
fit for food on the first day that man
stood on the river bank or the scashore,
as it is at this day. Agriculture also
required implements to clear and stir the
ground and to gather inj,he crops twith,
andlthese implements we know Wee! the
result or long series Of discoveries,
improvements and advances. Primeval
man, therefore, as we now read his his.
tory, could not have lived by or known
anything of agriculture. Nor could he
have lived by Wild fruits, for they are
not continuous throughout the year.
They have their season and that brief
one. lie must then have lived by hus,..
ing and fishing; and Of the two fishing
would be the most continuous through
ont the changing seasons, the most valp;
sble Of all .aualties for those ill-supplied
times. It would not be more difficult TO
hook, and spear, and net, and trap fish,
and to ;gathe7 mollusks from the rocks
and sand banks, than to pierce with
arrows wild game. Our immediate
cumparis On, however, is with agriculture
and we may be sure that not In 1t were
the foundations of society laid, but in
hunting and fishing, and that Of these
two, es the great carnivors at frat had
possession. Of forest and the plain against
intruding man, fishing was the main
primeva[ occupation and means Of
stence.--AcAlillans Magozinc.

A Beautiful Incident.

A man blind from his birth, man of
much intellectual vigor and with many
engaging social qualities, found woman
who, apprcciating his worth, was willing
to cast in her lot with him and become
his wife. Several bright, beautiful
children became theirs, who tenderly
and equally loved both parents.
An eminent French Surgeon, while IN
this country, called upon them, ana
examining the blind man with mucli
interest and care, said TO him:
"YGur blindness is wholly artificial !
your eyes are naturally good and could
! have operated upon them twenty years
ago, could have given you sight. 1t IL
barely possible that can do it now,
though it will cause you mucl. pain"
81 can bear that" was the reply, $50
you but enable me to see."
The surgeon operated upon him and
was gradually successful: first there were
faint glimmerings of light, then more
distinct visions. The blind father was
banded rose lie had smelled one
before, but he had never seen one then
he looked upon the face Of his wife, VIII,
had been so true and faithful to him
and then his children were brought
whom he had 80 often fondled anc
whose charming prattle had 70 frequent
ly fallen upon his ears.
He then exclaimed, "Oh, why have
not seen all these before inquiring fol
the man by whose skill have enabled
to behold them Show me the doctor" {"
AUD when ne 'ras pointed oit 20 him, he
embraced him with tears of gratitude aud
joy.
So, wien we reach heaven, and with
unclouGod eyes look upon it's glorics, we
shall not he content with view OF these
No, we shall sny, "Where il Christ? iit
to whom nm indebted for what heaven
is; show me him, that with all my sou
may adore and praise him through
endless ages"

Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
Mr. William Purcell, of the Rochester
Union, has thought best to retire from
the management of his paper for the
campaign and from the Democratic cleo
toral ticket of New York. He made such
a stubborn as well as nasty fight against
Governor Clevelands nomination that his
supply of crow accumulated was some
what larger than he could swallow and
digest. Hence he has wisely declined to
make the effort. Mr.. Purcell has long
had grievance. In 1879 he refused to
support Governor Robinson for re-elec-
ton and assisted John Kelly in his sue
cessful bolt In 1881 he ran for Secretary
of State and was defeated with his ticket.
He was notrenominated last year as were
his colleagues, and he immediately Jump
ed to the conclusion that somehow Cleve-
land had interfered with his ambition.
Since that time he has been raging about
