Fred, another of Flying Frenchman's
sons, produced some excellent stock,
although few of them are used for track
work. One of the best was a mare bred

Origin of Postoffi ces.

The name postoffice originated in the
posts placed at intervals along the roads OF
the Roman empire, where carriers We're
kept III readiness to bear dispatches and in
telligence; but the posts of ancient times
were never used for the purpose of convey
ing private correspondence. The first let
ter post seems to have been established in
the Hanse towns in the early part of the
Thirteenth century. line of letter posts
followed, connecting Austria with Lom
hardy, in the reign of Macmillan. In Eng
land in early times letters were sent by
messengers, who wore the royal livery.
They had TO supply themselves with
horses until the reign of Edward |, when
posts were established with horses for hire.
Camden mentions the office of master OF
the posts" as existing in 1881 A foreign
post for the conveyance of letters between
London and the Continent seems to have
been established in the Fifteenth century

A collector of old English pipes of all
sizes and shapes says that in sucn a collec-
ton one may trace the history and spread
of tobacco by the gradually increasing pipe
bowl and the proportionate diminution Of
the supporting heel or spur, until within
present day clays it is a mere ornamental
appendage.
Soon after smoking was introduced. one
writer stated that "the rich use silver
pipes, but the poor use walnut shells and
straws." In 1873 Harrison, in his unpub-
lished "Chronologie," remarks that these
daies the taking in of the smoke of the In
dian herb called Tabaco, by an instrument
like little ladell, is gretly taken up and
used in England against Rewmes." By
1919 there was an important industry in
clay pipes, and the manufacturers were in
corporated as the craft of T. p. makers. "
Later pipes bear trademarks and initials
stamped on the heel, thus indicating the
various origins

Criminal AnthropoIogy of Women.

1t is a fact, according to Science that in
all countries there are fewer convictions
for crimes of women than of men. Euro
pean statistics vary from the highest, 81
per cent. in Scotland, to the lowest, rather
less than per cent. in Italy. 1t is also
noted that there is a very wide difference
between city and country. The proportion
of female criminals is always higher in
rural districts, sometimes reaching nearly
to that of the males.
Various explanations of these facts have
been suggested. Some are complimentary
to the sex, AS that women are not given to
intoXicants nor to gambling nor to rowing,
they are more timid, more religious, more
tender hearted and their sexuality is more
passive There is something in all these
reasons, but they do not satisfy DR.. G. Fer.
rero, who discusses the subject in The
Revue Scientifique He points out that
the females of the ants, bees and spiders
are particularly cruel because they are par
ticularly intelligent and he reaches the
ungallant conclusion that the woman OF
today is less criminal because less intelli
gent than the man.

A "bee" in provincial New England and
New York is an assemblage OF people for a
set purpose, and especially "A meeting of
neighbors to unite in working for an in
dividual or family. In the form of spell
ing bee" or spelling match the word has
extended over the whole country. Quilt
ing bees are attended by young women,
who assemble around the frame of bed
quilt and in one afternoon accomplish
more than one person could in weeks. Re
freshments and beaux help to render the
meeting agreeable. Apple bees are occa
sions where neighbors assemble to gather
apples or cut them up for drying. Husk
ing bees, for hnsking corn, meet in barns.
In some new districts on the arrival of a
new settler the neighboring farmers unite
with their teams, cut the timber and build
him log house in single day; these are
termed raising bees. The name may have
come from the likeness of these gatherings
to the swarming of buzzing bees.

Another Idol Sh altered.

One by one the cherished idols are being
dragged from the high pedestals upon
which sentiment has placed them and
humbled and discredited in the CALLING
dust of reputation. The last to tumble
was Jessie of Lucknow" the highland
lassie who, in the sorely besieged city dur
ing the Indian mutiny, heard the pibroch
of her clan afar off above the din of battle
and long before any others could be made
to hear it, and who cheered her compan-
ions just on the point of surrender to re-
newed eXertions by her thrilling excama-
ton: The Campbells are comm! Oh
dinna ye hear it; dinna ye hear it9' She
IS proved by the Scots themselves to be
simply a pleasant myth. The matter has
been thoroughly investigated and testi
mony from many of the survivors of the
famous siege has been taken.
1t is proved that there was no such per
son as Jessie Brown in the Residency, and
that anyway it was impossible to hear
the bagpipes at the distance declared
Nothing but the roaring of guns could be
heard anywhere in the city, and the pipes
of the highlanders were only heard long
after the city was practically relieved and
when the pipers were nearing the Bailey
guard gate. More than this, says the New
York Sun, the story has been traced to It's
origin in a little romance written by a
French governess at Jersey for the use of
her pupils, and followed through its
journeyings until it reached the London
Times on Dec. ~. 1857. 1t is sad and a
shame, but Jessie has been sent to join
William Tell and the other dethroned gods
and goddesses, and the Scots gave her up
finally and publicly a few weeks ago
