The First Postage Stamps.

The first postage stamps issued by the
government were the denominations of five
and ten cents. These stamps are now OBJ
solete and they would not be recognized
by the postoffices. The five cent STAMP
contained a portrait Of franklin, made
after painting by John B. Longacre in
which the first postmaster general is pre-
scented wearing a white neckerchief and a
coat with fur collar. The color of the
stamp is light brown and there is a Dor
der of fine, straight lines around the entire
stamp. The ten cent stamp contained g
portrait of Washington made from Stew
arts painting; it's color was black and it
had in the upper corners the letters "U
S." These two stamps We're all that were
used until 1851, when letter postage was
reduced to three cents and new series oil
stamps came in.
All Of these stamps are now obsolete, but
they included eleven different denomina
tions. There was one cent stamp, a three
cent stamp and a five cent stamp. There
were also ten, twelve, twenty-four, thirty
and ninety cent stamps; and in addition to
these two carrier stamps, each of which
cost one cent. These stamps all bore the
busts of American statesmen.-Louisvil

Faithful in All.

The late DIR. Thomas Hill gives a sketch
of Tom, a faithful Irish servant, who sell
dom failed in being 'true to his lights. +"
His nice sense of honor is illustrated by a
business transaction which Dr. Hill thus
describes:
During an absence of a year I left a
favorite cousin, Miss c., in charge of
the place and family In the summer she
who would cut and carry away the grass,
selling or using it in payment for the labor
involved.
Tom undertook the work with friend.
and some days after the grass had been
taken away went to Miss c. and handed
her three dollars.
eWhat is this for?" asked she.
'sFor the grass, ma am"
'sBut I told you you could have it for the
cutting"
'Yes, ma'am, but when we got the hay
made we found there was more of it than
we thought 1t was worth three dollars
more than our work"
"But, Tom, you may have those three
dollars. made the bargain and I'll stand
by it."
NAV, Miss c.. That wouldn't be
right toward him that's away"
eyes, it would" said the lady, ''for he
gave me full authority to act for him. My
bargain is his bargain"
But Tom could not be induced to touch
the money. He only shook his head and
walked away, saying: "Naw, nav! That
wouldn't be right toward him that's
away!'-New York Independent

Economy in a Valet.

Looking at the question in no other
light" Mr.. Elisha Dyer said recently to a
reporter, ''it would not be bad idea for a
bachelor to lay aside thirty or forty dollars
a month for valet. He will find that in
ten years, even though he be a fine dresser.
his expense for clothes will not be over
$4,000. Clothes wear better when constant
ly looked after, pressed thoroughly and
the stitch in time that saves nine attended
to. In the matter of cravats alone, think
what delight it is always to have them
properly ironed smooth. How long a sup.
ply of ties will last under the skillful
touch of a valet no one knows who has not
been served by one.
''The expenses that are continually fall
ing upon a bachelor from not having the
proper thing ready when wanted, necessi-
tating an immediate purchase, are obviated
by the services of a valet. These are the
expenses and annoyances, by the way, that
so many bachelors fee into matrimony te
avoid. They think that the motto, "A
place for everything and everything in its
place is the adjunct to domesticity alone
The bachelor however, who has an intelli
gent valet, can have as well ordered 9
home as a man with the most domestic Of
wives "-New York World

Why One wealthy Man Works.

why Ohe W ediLny nhsSu WOFkSs
"Why do you work SO hard when you
already have more money than you can
spend?" a Brooklyn millionaire was asked
the other day. "Habit, l suppose" said
the millionaire as frankly as he had been
questioned. Then he leaned back in his
chair and thought. Finally he repeated,
with the air of a man who had looked over
the ground and came to conclusion,
Eyes, it is nothing but habit, but l can't
break off money making now. Primarily
we ali set out to make money for two rea-
sons. Firstly, we want to secure exist
ence; secondly, we desire to secure pleas
ures and luxuries. But while working for
these purposes men become acquainted
with great projects and problems and
schemes and industries, and if they are
earnest men who have more than selfish
interest in the world about them, they
soon become absorbed in those things.
81 don't think so meanly of our rich men
as to imagine that they cling to their busi
ness on account of the money it brings
them in, after they have already acquired
more money than they can spend, but
there is a pleasure and excitement in hold
ing the rudder of a great enterprise and
sending it boldly ahead through all kinds
sea because of the dollars he has made as
wages or the dollars that he expects to
make? Not he. He loves it because his
life work has been identified with it, My
work has become my pleasure now and
could not bear to leave it long. This is
like big machine here, and it is great
and constant pleasure to see how smoothly
it runs, and to put my hand down and ad-
just it when necessary. "-Brooklyn Eagle.

"Castoria is the best remedy for children OF
