A fish story comes from SAINTS Rosa,
CAL; "A well has been dug on the
ranch of John Walker, who lives a
few miles west of this city, which is a
marvel to the neighbors. In drawing
water thousands Of eyeless fish, rang
ing from half an inch to six inches in
length, have been taken out. Occa-
sionally the bucket is drawn up half
full Of fish. No subterranean inlet to
the well has yet been discovered. The
well is about fifteen miles from the
ocean and a chain of mountains inter-
vene." This is reminder of the
wonderful eyelsss fish that were found
swimming in the hot water of the
lower levels of the Savage mine some
years ago, and for specimens of which
a number of Eastern scientists sent
orders to Superintendent Osbiston. -

Be careful of the horses mouth
Men who jerk the reins because they
are too mad 10 be sensible and humane,
should have bit placed in their own
mouths and have it jsrked by some
brutal fellow who would enjoy giving
pain. In breaking colts, be very care
full about the mouth, and never bit an
animal that has a sore mouth while it
continues sore. The mouth of the
horse should be more frequently ex-
amined than it usually is. Sometimes
there is an inflammation that needs
attention. Sometimes the teeth need
attention, and occasionally it may even
be necessary to draw a tooth. 1t is
by no means uncommon that the poor
condition Of a horse can be traced to
some ailment of the mouth which pre-
vents the proper mastication of the
food. 1t is,not much trouble to open
the mouth and look into it, and it will
often prevent trouble.

square instead of oblong and many of
them were printed in two colors, the
central design being in one
tone and the border in another.
The principal figure in each design
was in almost every instance a repre-
sentation of some mode of carrying
the mails instead of the head of some
departed statesman.
The Scent stamp was printed in
blue, and the principal figure in the
design was locomotive. That issue
of stamps lasted about ten months.
The people clamored so against them
that in 1870 a return was made to the
old designs, which were printed, how
ever, in different colors.
The 3cent stamp was then made
green, with the head of Washington
in the center Of the design. THAI
stamp is of such recent date that iti
design is familiar to every one.
The green Scent stamp, which wa.
adopted in 1870, continued in use
longer than any of its predecessors
1t was used until October 1, 1883, ant
1t might have continued in vogu,

the rate of letter postage TO 2 cents
Under the new law brown 2 cen

use until 1887, when its color was
changed to the green now in use. tt

strong dislike.
Among the rarest American stamps
are some which were not issued b.
the Government. When Congress il
1845, authorized the use Of stamps, i
neglected to make such provisions Al
warranted the postal authorities il

stamps,
During the period of two year
preceding the issue Of Governmen

United States issued what were known
as postmasters stamps. They wer'

POSTAGE STAMPS.

The proposition to change the size
and colors of the prevailing postage
stamps makes short history of these
useful little articles very timely.
1t is now nearly half a century
since the first postage stamps were
issued in this country. In 1840
England began using stamps; in 1845
the issue of postage stamps was au-
thorized by Congress, and in 1S47 the
first stamps were issued.
Before that time the postage was
paid in cash. sometimes by the sender
aud sometimes by the receiver Of The
letter, and the sched ule Of rates varied
with the distances.
The charge for transmitting letter
thirty miles vas 6 cents, and the tariff
increased in gradual ratio until a max
i,num charge of 20 cents for 300 miles
or more was reached. This method
was in vogue for two years after the
stamps was authorized by Congress.
The first stamps issued we're of the
denominations Of scents and 10 cents.
The cent stamp had pciure of Ben
Franklin and the 10 cents the head of
Washington as the principal figure in
the design.
Those heads have continued to
adorn the postage stamps of our
country from that day to this, The
stamps first issued were little larger
than those now in use.
In 1851 the carrier system was intro
duced in al large cities, and stamp
of a peculiar design, costing cent
each and known as carriers stamps
were issued for the purpose Of provi-
ding prepaid delivery.
In that year the letter postage was
reduced to 3 cents, and the old brick.
dust red Scent stamp came in. AT
the same time the issue was enlarged
t. eight stamgs, the largest denomina-
tion being 90 cents.
The portrait of Jefferson was intro
duced Oh the 5-cent stamp. but the
other seven bore the heads of Wash
ington and Franklin in different
designs.
Those heads have continued to
adorn the postage stamps OF our
country from that day to this. The
stamps first issued were little larger
than those now in use.
In 1861 the carrier system was in
troduced in all large cities, and a
stamp of a peculiar design, costing l
cent each and known as carriers stamps
were issued for the purpose Of provid-
ing prepaid delivery.
In that year the letter postage was
reduced to 3 cents, and the old BRICK
dust red 6-cent stamp came in. AT
the sane time the issue was enlarged
to eight stamps, the largest denomin.
alton being 30 cents
The portrait of Jefferson was intro
ducsd ON the 5.cent stamp, but the
other seven bore the heads of Wash
ington and Franklin in different de-
signs.
These stamps were the most popular
ever issued by the department They
remained in use for ten years.
The new Scent stamp issued in 1861
was of light red, and it remained in
use until 1869, when there vas de-
