powerful poor family came to our town.
There was widow and three daughters,
two of them about grown. Thsy took
up their quarters in an old deserted

that they hadn't anything to eat. Well,

Origin of Postage Stamps.

Fifty two years ago Friday, according
to number of authorities and many
philatelists, says the New York Times,
postage stamps for preparing postage on
letters first came into use in England.
Roland Hill advocated their use three
years before and set to work on a design
which, when it first appeared was ridi
culed and characterized as sticking
plaster.n The idea that business could
be expedited and rates lessened by means
OF stamps was called absurd.
For practical purposes, Mayo, 1910, the
first date when adhesive stamps came
into general use for prepayment OF letter
postage in England. The United States
did not adopt the system until 1o47. Be
fore 1910, stamped newspaper wrappers
were experimentally introduced in Eng
land, but letters went the old way in the
care of the postnan, who collected the
charges when the parcel was delivered
As early as 1868 postpaid envelopes were
used in Paris, and stamped postal en-
velopes were issued by the government
of the Sandman States from 1850 to 1868

Blind, but d Successful Farmer.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican has
a sketch OF q Franklin county farmer
who has been handicapped from his
youth by total blindness but who, not>
withstanding this misfortune, is one of
the most prosperous farmers in Western
Massachusetts. His name is. VIM. M
Davenport, and his farm is Leyden, COW
ering 700 acres. It's owners property
has come, not because he inherited
dollar or because he has been aided by
others, but solely through his native
ability and untiring efforts. He earned
his first dollar by threshing and saving
wood, and now he is estimated to be
worth from $50, 0o0 to $75 200. He knows
the geography of his farm, and is good
judge OF the nature and character of
the soil. Foe years has been looked upon
as one of the best judges of live stock in
the county, and he is frequently EN-
ployed as judge 20 guide buyers III the
market. He attended school but little,
and what he did learn was by sitting in
the school room and hearing the other
fellows recite. He is thorough believer
in the New England farm, and says it
is good enough for him in every respect.
Altogether, Farmer Davenport may be
said to be II very remarkable man.

These, however, did not embrace the
conveniences met with in the adhesive.
separate stamps, which at once won pub
lie approval.
The manufact ure of stamps was in the
start very crude, and the designs far
from the better styles of today. In Eng
land there was pictured a head of the
Queen, but considerable opposition was
made to the design because of the seem
ing indignity cast upon the ruler when
the face was hlackened in cancellation.
The German States quickly followed
Great Britain in using stamps for letter
postage, having figures with various in

says the New York IfogIl At Morris
town, while fifteen bechives filled with
bees, consigned to Il farmer at Hacketts>
town, were being hCis5ed into the van,
the bottom dropped out Of one and the
bees swarmed out, causing q stampede
among the people looking on Baggage
Master David Miller ran frantically down
the platform waiving his arms, pursued
by a few honey Gatherefs How to get
rid of the bees, which now swarmed in
the ba@gag e car, was q problem Final
ly it was decided to start the train, the
hope being that they might be brushed
through the open doors by the wind
But that didn't work, and when the
train pulled into EIackettstown the bees
still held possession. The owner of the
beehives was waiting with a horse and
wagon to take them home. and as the
train came to q standstiIl the bees, as If
by instinct, made o dash for the farmer
and his horse. They caused the horse.
to run away and smash tie wagon. The
