Letter WrltInr b AmerIea.

Americans are the greatest letter writ
ing people on the globe. OF the fifty
odd billion pieces of mail which are
posted in the world every year nearly
5000, 100000 60 through the postoficea
Of the United States. We spend every
year more than &52, ,OOO, 900 for postage,
and during the year 1891 American
tongues licked the backs Of $ST, ZOO, 900
worth Of sticky stamps.
The postage stamps sold every year
the world over far surpasses in value
the riches Of Jay Gould or the Roths-
ohilda, and the postage stamp industry
Of the world is one Of the greatest fac
tors in the machinery which moves the
universe today. And yet postage stamps
are Of Comparatively recent origin. Il
is barely fifty years ago since they were

wbo, D,av n. Read from Nails.

A person of broad finger nails is OF
gentle nature, timid and hashful. Those
whose nails grow into the Aesh at the
points or sides are given to luxury. A
white mark on the nail bespeaks misfor-
tune. Persons with very pale nails are
subject to much infirlnity Of the flesh
and persecution by neighbors and friends.
People with narrow nails are ambitious
and quarrelsome. Lovers Of knowledge
and liberal sentiment have round nails
Indolent people have generally feshy
nails. Small nails indicate littleness OF
mind, obstinacy and conceit. Melan-
choly persons are distinguished by their
pale or lead colored nails and choleric,
martial men, delighting in war, have red
and spotted nails. Worcester Light

In filling with hay, each section be-

shows the first bent empty, and in tax

saves much hard work. The track and

desired. After filing it up well under the
