MESSAGES OF LOVE OR HATE.
The Language Of Postage Stamps,
as Described by a Master Of
the Science.
Lphilndclnhln rmes.

"Do | know anything about the
language Of postage stamps? 7" said q
well-knOWn stationery dealer yester-
day. II don't know Of any book on
the subject, if THAT is what you mean,
but | have heard the signiications of
some of the different ways ofplacing
them on the envelopes For instance,
if the writer is a gentleman who
wishes to express love for Il fair dam
sci, he inclines the label toward the
left, which method is repeated by The
lady il she is favorable TO-. his suit.
If OH the contrary, SHE wishes TO give
him the cold shoulder, she inclines
her label to the right. A stamp in a
perpendicular position signifies SIM
pie admiration; when the bust stands
on its head it means that the only
sentiment evoked by the suppl cant
is ridicule, Ii the stamp lies on its
face it implies that the writer is dy-
ing for love; if it is lyingonits back,
then the writer has got over the at
tack'of heart disease. A label may be
placed wrong way up with an in
clination to the left that tells story
of hopeless attachment, while should
it be leaning towards the right-hand
corner, it is a sign that the affection
is unrequited. "Are there any Of
her signs'' 400
eyes, such as sticking the label
in odd places OH the envelope, in
wrong corners, using two or even
three stamps. making kisses around
them, near them or in propinquity
to them. These have various mean
ings, and may all be included in the
Language of postage stamps"
Did you ever know Of any one
using this code of communication ~
"If you promise not to give me
away l will tell you of a postage
stamp correspondence in which Imy-
selfonce was aprincipal participant"
"My honor as a gentleman"
"That's good enough. Well, it's

about ten years ago now. ! hope
you wont be shocked to hear that
this correspondence grew out Of my
being regular attendant at church"
"Not at all. That makes it all the
more interesting"
II suppose il does, so many similar
correspondcnces have arisen from Il
like cause have for years been a
member Of St. Peters Episcopal
church, at Third and Pine streets.
One. Sunday, ten years ago, | was des-
perately struck with tsle appearance
of young la'ly who sat in the pew
on the opposite side of the aisle to me.
Never mind about details-altcr some
inquiries | found out who she was,
but tcould not obtain an introduction"
"What did you do"
81 got from friend Of mine some
information about the postage-siamp
language and the language Of flowers.
Every Sunday morning | managed
to get TO church in time TO place a
small bouquet of flowers in her pew,
together with an empty envelope
with stamp affixed in certain way.
After while she discovered who
her unknown admirer was. What is
more, she also learned the stamp Ian
guage, and i'll return she would leave
an envelope stamped in the pew for
me. This silent courtship proceeded
for nearly eight months, when one
lucky day l found an acquaintance
who knew her family. l need not
tell you that | very soon became ac-
qIainted too. TO make u long story
short, the lady is now my wife"
'lndecd That is certainly happy
and fitting ending to SO romantic
Il courtship."

me to reach around the corner of the

| thought it was about time for pa to
get the man in the hammock | cut
the rope and came out to help pa

was surprised TO find that the fel-
low was sitting on a bench, and pa
had gone down with the hammock,
and he was making up the awfulest
face ever was. His pants were split

a dent in the ground as big as a six

Mechanical Modes of worship.


 One of the earliest and most characteristic
 sights to be visited by every new arrival Ill the town of Tokio is the great popular tenn pie at Asakusa, to me 6 most fascinating spot, and one to which I returned again and again with ever new interest. Among the many attractions, all within the temple grounds, stands a very handsome five-storied pagoda, painted deep red and with pietur- esque projecting roofs. That naturally drew me thither. Very near this tall, quaint building stands q small, neglected temple, with nothing externally attractive to invite the inspection of the foreigner; and, as the door is generally locked, no one, so far as l could learn, had ever had the curiosity to en- ter, and the windows are so closely barred that little can be discerned by peerlng through them. That little, however, proved to me that this small temple had been built solely to contain one large object so strongly suggestive of the Thibetan prayer wheel that felt convinced I had found the object of my search After considerable delay very
 courteous young priest procured the key,
 opened the great door, and revealed a most
 beautiful specimen of the Scripture wheel about ten feet in diameter and twelve Tn height, of the richest scarlet aud gold and black lacquer. The actual cylinder is en- COnD&SS6O W1Un Eall Sl6uu0f SuPPOAU- ing beautiful wide canopy of lacquer, while the base rests on 8 stone pedestal of carved
 lotus 1eaves-the invariable symbol round the throne of Buddha-the jewel on the To- tus. This cylinder is, think, hexagonal, and the handsome panels form six doors for the different compartments of this ecclesias- tical bookcase, wherein rolled scrolls ranged in upright order. These treasures are kept securely locked, which, however, no wise lessens the merit acquired by the devout, who (by the aid of spikes projecting from the base, as from 8 capstan) cause the heavy ma chine to revolve, sunwise. on it's own axis:
 Afterward spent several days in this small temple to secure a careful drawing of an ob-
 feet at once so curious and so beautiful. While was at work various Japanese came in chiefly to see what I was doing; several gave the wheel turn, apparently as an ex- cuse for having come in, but evidently with out one grain of religious feeling connected with it. Even the priests seemed anxious that should understand it was only curi- ous relic of an obsolete superstition. In fact, of all whom saw approach the wheel, here or elsewhere in Japan, I only noticed one who appeared to be in earnest, and he so, in very truth-working out solemn task with resolute purpose-a weary man and heavy laden, for he carried a heavy bur i den fastened on his shoulders, and was too much absorbed to remember to lay it down.

Heidelberg.

From the English Illustrated Magazne.l
 In the town itself, thanks to the continual sieges and fires, there is scarcely anything that is old, but there is inthe German mind 8 special sentiment on the subject of roofs which secures a certain picturesque element even in the modern streets. It is almost safe to say that. except in the fashionable Auloge and other places given up to comfort and abandonment by all the gods, there are scarcely two roofs of the same height and proportion in all Heidelberg, and the manner in which gables, mansards, projecting win- dows of every description, and roofs of every imaginable slope group themselves in un- thought of and spontaneous variety, is an endless pleasure to the eye, although the houses underneath those brown harmonious tiles have no architectural pretensions what ever Here is a little square, for example, breaking the line of long street in which vegetable market is held twice week. A statue black and uninteresting, upon which, however, the other day thezsnow had arrang-. ed mantle and cap, which looked like err mine on the bronze, stands over the heads of the market people with their white and red umbrellas, their blue hoods and aprons, their piles of cahbages, that bread of life to the Germans; of itself the scene is pretty in the midst of the wintry gray, full of pleasant tones of color, and the background of roofs has something in it's irregularity, it's sponta- neous character, it's homeliness and natural ness, which gives just the appropriate setting. The roofs are high and low, broken with high-set windows, striking into each in,per- petual variety of pitch and intention, and eliminating in a distant bulbous spire, and tall chimney which looks like a tower. There is no pictorial meaning in them, no combination or considered effect, anymore than there is in the headdress of the market woman, which consists of small shawl, gen orally blue, closely covering the head, and with one end thrown over the shoulder-the most primitive and simple, yet the most comfortable and becoming of headdresses. Wherever one turns one's eyes the roofs form little pictures full of detail picturesquely simple. We have counted five rows of gar rets in one, and there is no bound to the ee- centricities, which yet have no air of the ec- centric, but are always natural upon which we look down from the heights. Arehitec- ture has done little or nothing for the town; but yet homely grace is secured in this way Almost the only really old house left is the very handsome and imposing edifice in the Hauptstrasse, the "Ritter" Hotel, of which there is popular legend that it alone was spared by sthe French, 7 tthe impersona-
