FIRST POSTAGE STAMP.
The Italians Claim the Honor of Having [
 Produced It.

The Italians claim to be the first who introduced poatage stamps into the world of ''letters," says Galignani's s Messenger. Now, if you open any en- cyclopedia. whether Italian or foreign, you will see that the postage stamp was invented by Rowland Hill and was in- troduced into use in lS40. But Italians now say that all this is wrong and that the postage stamp is an Italian inven- tion, and was introduced in Turin in 1918. under Victor Emanuel l., king of Sardinia, tho first stamp being an allegorical design of genius on horse- back, surrounded by round frame, oval frame, and octagon frame. of tho worth of l5 cents, p cents and 50 cents. These first stamps, however. were rather postal cards than stamps, since the writing Was oa them. and not in closed within any envelope. They could be folded. however, and sealed.
 These remained in use until 1886. In was precisely this system. Italains tow say, that Sir Rowland Hill adopted (thongh the encyclopedias say he in- vented iD twenty-two years later. Af,erward Thomas Chalmers proposed the seperate postage stamp. to bo plae- ed en any kind of le,jor CT envelope to please tho writer, and tai5 so3a became adopted by other countries. h 1857 tho Unhed S,atcs of America again robbed Italy of its invention by making stamHc3 envelopes for newspapers. IL 1873 Austria also robbed italy of it5 invention by Introducing postal cards Tn 1882 b gum robbed Italy ol its orjgiaal creation by introducing postal notes. Al tho fuss. theresor tha: was modo dpeing the tltloenrl anuiyer- sary of the postage s,2mps and which gavo so much honcr to Eng and should have deFolvel oa Italy, where it was first invented and introduced in ISIS, Al least, 50 say the Italians,

looked in the giass just befcss ieav1nG his study. But with tho fear that some thing must be wrong in his personal appearance, he read tho hymn through, and again said, Il hope th,It all will join in the singing, for you see ws have no choir today"
 Again that general smile which can hardly be repressed. and hc sinks into his chair in a cold precipitation. The organ plays Q .prelude--stope- plays again, and then from the choil gallery behind him there arose the voices of trio leading tho congrega- tion in the old familiar hymn. The Rev. Eltho for the once forgets his ministerial dignity, forgets his sur. roundings, forgets everything in his ut ter astonishment, and he partly rises in his seat and stretches his neck to see, and finally stands up and turns around to investigate this unlooked-for state ol affairs.
 Alas, 1t Is only trio, for there sits tho fair Kate pouting, and with her un- opened hymn-book in her lap.
 Little Nellie Hodge, who had come to sing alto, just for an accommodation, has had to take the soprano, and is do- ing her very best with her sweet, girl ish voice, although her blue eyes are sparkling with mcrrinent.
 How the Rev. Eltho ever got through with his sermon he could never after wards tell. nor could many in his con- gregation, for they were altogether too much upset by the ''no choir" incident, and the look of consternation on their minister's face and of indignation on Miss Du Vasne's.
 Of course one of the earliest pastoral calls of the following week was an apol- ogetic one on the outraged Kate; but she utterly refused to sec him.
 He then besoueht Nellie Hodge to act as mediator and present his most sincere apologies. But all in vain. Kate would not relent, and in reply said that she had not sung in one of the leading choirs of the city of Scran- ton to be called No choir" in the little town of Newborn.
 But gentle little Nellie softened Rates naughty message before she reported it to her dear pastor. and after all, how forgiving and unresent- full she herself was.
 The Rev. Eltho could not help ob- serving 1t, and how kind and accomo- dating. and always ready to help one out of difficulty, besides, how humbly she looked up to him as the embodi- ment of all human wisdom and good ness. Truly, as her mother remarked. no one could be better suited for a minister's wife.
 And Nellie became one of the elect

- OoATt8BO0 Uosp Eo0o0 n . 08008 A story which smacks of the marvel.
 lous is just now the theme of much speculation at Sydney. Australia. In
 May. 1890. George Henry Wethersby
 left the Australian metropolis for . prospecting tour in the mountains of New Zeland. accompanied by his two nephews, R. s. and c. T. Cook. aged
 respectively Is and 2l. During July
 and August they had done much hard
 work around the base of Mount Ruapcrhui. and in the immediate vicin- ity. In tho following month they penetrated the unknown wilds on the
 seadwatcrs of tho river Waikato. October 2 their crowbars loosened an
 immense ledge of rock which arose like
 prccipice from the bed of small
 creek tributary to the Waikato. When
 the debris was cleared away. a small
 crack some 10 inches widewas revealed. Within two feet of the opening this crack became a wide-mouthed subter- | raneau chamber. A little more labor admitted the mon into the opening. Priming their miners lamps they start cd on a tour of exploration. Bones. charcoal and rudely constructed pot tery was found everywhere; some munmitied re,rains of small race of people with long, plaited hair, and . few copper weapons were also found. Finally they emerged into an immense chamber. thedomo of whicpwas several hundred feet above their heads. Bii the titanic nature of the cavern did not
 excite their curiosity as much as strange shaped object which was dimly outlined in the centre of the chamber. In their unbounded amazemen. they approached tho unoanny object and found il to be a sailing vessel of mar yellous symmetry and surprising beauty. The deck was of rosewood
 or of somo material much resembling
 that valuable cabinet timber, and tho Inasts of ebony, polished as finely as tho case of a music box. The remains
 of sails which hung idly around copper
 wire ropes or cables proved that they had been of pure yellow silk, almost as
 thick as . farmers grain sack. The
 vessel was upwards of 100 feet in length and some 30 broad. Although
 there wore many copper wires and
 bands used in it's construction, not a
 single nail or screw of any metal was
 to be seen, every joint being secured
 by hardwood screws or pins. Here for
 once is room for unboundcd speculation.
 When, how and under what circum-
 stances was this piece of unknown
 marine handicraft transported to this
 South Pacific Island and buried hun dreds of feet in the interior of lofty
 mountaine No means of egress or
 ingress were found except the narrow opening revealed by the crowbars work.
