It took so sittings OF the Brazilian

Congress. The presidents brought out

stipend OF the members of the first
Constituent Assembly after the separ-

year. That amount continued to be
paid to the representatives in Parlia-
ment down to 1873, when the change,
was made to the rate OF $3.50 per
legislative day for Senators and $25
a day for Deputies. A natural differ,
ence to the length of the sessions was
observable under that arrangement:
and was urged as an argument against
continuing it in the Republic. But a
proposition to make the salary $500
for each session was voted down, and
the old plan Of payment by the day
adopted. There was some dispute be-
tween the two houses, however, over
the distinction made in estimating
the value OF the services of each. 1t
was finally agreed. though. that genu-
inc Republican principles required
equality OF payment, and as the SEN
ators would not come down, the Dep
uties consented to 60 up, and so the
rate for either was made $3.50 per
legislative day.-New York Evening

Origin OF the Postage stamp.

r & y F.
Few people, perhaps, realize Of how
recent origin is the postage stamp. It
was first issued by Great Britain in
1910. Brazil was the first nation to
follow the example, which they did in
1S48, and in 1847 the United States
began the use OF postage stamps.
There are now gil stamp-issuing
countries. It is estimated now that
every year some $4,000, 100000
letters are posted in the world.
America leads with over 25, 1000. 00O,-
900. and England follows with 7O0,-
600, 900. Japan now mails annually
100000 letters. and the Cancelled
stamps on these letters are worth on
an average OF 10 each. Last year
there were 10000 letters posted in
England without any address on
them. In 1900 of these gold coin and
money were inclosed. The Cancelled
postage stamps of many countries
are worth quite an much as unused
specimens, and many are issued solely
for collections, the revenue being an
important item. Monaco was the
latest to issue stamps; but Stoffaland,
with it's fifty houses and three
stores" is probably the most insignifi-
cant, even more SO than Heligoland
or the Virgin Islands. Bhopal has
the Oldest stamp, Nicaragua the
finest. Siberia the largest. Zealand the
smallest, Guatemala the most strik-
ing, and Sarawak and Great Britain
divide the honor OF having the cheap
est and meanest. The Book. Keeper.

Thsre are countries where bamboo
seems TO supply almost every human

ditions intact. No better example
can be cited OF the land OF the BAN
boo than one OF those Indo-Ch Chinese
provinces, ofwhich Burmah is the best
known to Europeans. Like the fir in
Northern climates, it is the bamboo
which here gives an unmistakable
stamp to the rural landscape, while it
is literally the framework and foun-

THE USE OF PILLOWS.
why 1t Is Necessary and How II Should
n. a.

why 1t is Neces,ary and How 1t should
DO Doae.
No mere matter OF habit Is the use
OF n pillow. 1t has physiological
basis We sleep. for the most part. on
the side and without pillow the head
would be intentionally and harmfully
lower than the body. 1t will be re-
membered that Jacob. when fleeing
from Esau. took stone for pillow
He needed something for the purpose.
and nothing better than u stone
presented itself. Such practices are
common In Africa at the present day.
Some people rest the neck instead
OF the head on hard pillows. In Africa
extraordinary headgears make this
practice necessary. and many a civil
lied woman has been compelled by q
somewhat similar couture to foreg0
both the pillow and the recumbent pos
ture.
A consideration OF the physiological
reason for pillows will suggest their
proper thickness. They should mere
ly bring the head to the natural level.
Some pillows are much too thick. By
bending the neck unduly. they inter-
fere with the outflow of the venous
blood from the head. The pillow that
just fills up the space above the should
err best suits its end.
Again. pillows OF feathers are OBJ
jectionable While they furnish the
needed support for the head. they are
too heating as they have remark
able capacity for holding and accumu-
lating heat.
1t should be remembered that
more blood. and hence more heat. goes
to the head than to any, other part. OF
the body. Head heating pillows are
against the wholesome maxim. Keep
the feet warm. but the head cool. :"
There is nothing better than the hair
pillow.
Further. the pillow is for the head.
not for the shoulders. To rest the
shoulders on the pillow defeats the
very end for which it Is used.
Finally. special care should be taken
OF infants In this matter. We have
seen their heads sunken deep In the
softest and thickest OF pillows. and
their faces, as a natural consequence
covered with great beads Of perspira-
ton. 1t Is no wonder that children 80

Pretty soon he heard medley Of

to escape in the event of his awakening
His watchers were the vilest-looking

sleep from most people. Still Percy had
not needed them, but slept as soundly
as man dog-tired could sleep. It was
a rude awakening for him, however, for
the early morning brought all the hands
on the farm who could spare the time to
take a peep at him. But he needed
them not and longed for but one thing,
and that was some one to speak to in
English. Yet no one came. At last a
burly Hollander, who had charge of the
farm Tor estancia as it is called in the
language of that country, came in.
He understood English tolerably
we'll, and asked Percy in the tongue
which he so longed to hear if he
wanted any thing to eat Percy told
him he was nearly famished, and the
Dutchman ordered his wants attended
to. These few words were all that
Percy heard spoken in English that
day, and when the next came he was
too sick to listen to any. His head
ached and his senses swan. He felt
as though some great and severe illness
