UIegihle POstmarks.

There is no valid reason why the post
mark on letter should not be as legi-
bic as the business card that is often
printed on the corner Of the envelope.
1t is frequently important to know when
and where an envelope containing a let
ter or a manuscript was mailed, and the
pOstmark must be depended on to give
the information. In most cases the de-
pendence IS vain.
The carelessness of hurried postal
clerks put only a blur where the post
mark ought to be, and the public sui
fers, sometimes seriously, in cOnse-
quence. Yankee ingenuity can GER
tainly devise a canceling machine which
viii cancel stamps and postmark letters
rapidly and well. Probably there is
such a machine already invented. The
public should protect itself by insisting
that the postofice regulations, requir-
ing 1egible pOstmarlzs, showing whe1
letters were mailed and when they were
received, shall be complied with, and
by making persistent complaints when
ever caretessnes IS evident
If every one who receives an envelOp
without a legible pOstmark viii enclose
it IN a letter of complaint to the Post
master General, putting the blame as
far as possible where it belongs, 1t Is
safe to assume that some improvement
viii be made, provided, Of course, the
Postmaster General is not forever bur
led from sight by the avalanche Of his
first mornings mail. IFT5teT.

subjects gave almost magazine flavor
to its editorial page. The London
Times under the second Walter was as
near an independent paper as England
had seen.
John Walter the third, whose por-
trait accompanies this brief sketch,
was born at London in 1918. He was
educated at Elton, was graduated from
Exeter College, Oxford. and was called
to the bar in 1847, which was also the
year of his fathers death and his own
election TO Parliament. He remained
in Parliament until defeated In 1865,
but returned to his seat two years
later, and has there continued to the
present time. For over forty years the
Times under his management has been
considered the exponent of the best
British thought It's attitude toward
each successive government has been
in the main candid. The paper has
been popularity called the Thunderer,
but it would be nearer the facts to call
it the Judge, on account of its judicial
tone. The paper has for a long time
declared dividends amounting to about
$3.50, 600 annually No dividend was
declared last year, the surplus having
been spent in defending the most stu
pendous libel In the history of jour
nalism.
Mr.. Walter is by nature more con
sentative than his father or his grand
father, and yet he used the influence oil
the Times in the "PafneIlism and
Crime" articles more recklessIy than
that of any respectable paper has ever
! been used in England. Mr.. Walter over
ruled his managing editor in reference
to the publication of forged Parnell
letters; ne selected the form of indict-
ment under which Parnell and his as
sociates should be tried before the
commission; he had the moral support
of the Attorney General as his chief
counsel; his witnesses were given &C
cess to Government papers and his
attorneys were furnished the names OF
| Government spies and secret agents,
and yet the case collapsed before one
witness was put under oath by Mr..
Parneu. Mr.. Walter IS a man of great
culture, and until his recent fall he has
been considered thoroughly honorable
and candid in all his dealings, profess
sional and personal.

Catch Questions.


It is always a delight to a schoolbOy
to PROFOUND to his teacher "catch cues
tions" In mathematics that the teacher
cannot answer. Usually these catch
questions, or propositions, are Of little
Importance, and the object of them IS
simply to elicit absurd replies from
those to whom they are put. Temple
Bar gives several such questions, a few
of which are new, and the others as
cold as the hills" but new, probably,
to some schOOlbOYs and girls.
If goose weighs ten pounds and a
half its own weight, what is the weight
of the goose? Who has not been
tempted to reply on the instant, fifteen
pounds ?-the correct answer being, of
course, twenty pOInds. Indeed it is
astonishing what q very simple query
viii sometimes catch q wise man nap
ping; even the following have beer
known to succeed:
How many days would it take to cut
up piece of cloth fifty yards long, one
yard being cut off every day?
A snail climbing up n post twenty
/ feet high, ascenIs five feet every day,
and slips down four feet every night.
How long viii the snail take to reach
the top of the post.
! A wise man having a window one
] yard high and one yard wide, and re-
| guiring more light, enlarged his win
dow to twice its former size; yet the
window was still only one yard high
and one yard wide. How was this
done?
This Is q catch question in geometry,
as the preceding were catch questions
in arithmetic. The window was dia-
mOnd-shaped at first, and was after
ward made square.
As to the former two, perhaps it is
! scarcely necessary seriously to point
ont that the answer to the first is not
fifty days but fOrty-nine; and, to the
second, not twenty days but sixteen
since the snail who gains one foot each
day for fifteen days, climbs on the six
teenth day to the top Of the pole and
there remains.
A man walks around a pole on the
top of which is a monkey. As the man
moves, the monkey turns on the top OF
the pole SO as still to keep face to face
with the man. Query When the man
has gone round the pole, has he OF has
he not gone round the monkey?
The answer which viii occur at first
sight to most persons is that the man
has not gone round the monkey since
he has never been behind it. The cor
rect answer, however, as decided by
knowledge, in the pages of which this
mOmentous question has been argued,
is that the man has gone round the
monkey in going round the pole.

MANAGING q Hnshand.

Men are naturally less amiabIe and
more intra0table than women. The
first point, therefore, to secure a mar
ried WOman's happiness after the hOli-
days OF the honeymoon are over, Is that
she should study carefully the pecuIiari-
ties OF her husbands temper. It Is in
the power Of a wise and good woman to
make lamb Of the greatest bear that
ever Wore whiskers; while by a foolish
treatment the process may be reversed
and a generous bearded creature, with
all the capabilities Of lion, may end in
being bear or wolf. A wife must tread
on her husbands temper first as eau
tiously as a prudent boy does upon re-
Gently formed ice.
Only when she has learned where the
slippery humor of her husband VII
bear, and where It VIII break, can she
perform with safety those graceful evClu-
tions by which q devoted vie achieves
grester triunnphs than ever. Bonaparte
