Among other anecdotes of university
life Dean Hole tells of an occasion when
there was some doubt as to the locality
of a city mentioned in a Greek text, and
the lecturer addressed a youth who had
just come W from the famous Shrews.

a pupil Of our great geographer, DR.. But
Ter, the Atlas of our age, who carries the
world not on his shoulders, but in his

as to the position Of this ancient town.
Il believe, sir" was the prompt reply,
"that modern travellers are of the opin.
ion that the city ought to be placed about
ten miles to the southeast of the spot
it now occupies on our map"
After receiving respectful thanks fol

Interesting Facts About the Growth of the
Delivery System.
Thefair of the p~ostofice employees was
an incentive to resuscitate and revivify
every postal article obtainable that was
quaint, ancient, and antique, even to an
exhibit OF a picture of the building used
for TIE first postoffice. In connection
with this might have been mentioned the
fact that it was in 1923. nine years after
he construction of the first fort at the
southern end of Manhattan Island, that
he first postofhce saw its beginning.
Previous to this. masters Of vessels
bringing letters from domestic and for
eign ports brought them ON shore and
left them at a coffee house, where the
merchants, the burghers and the loung-
ers met to discuss the topics Of the day.
Here the letters were deposited in a
rack, where they might be obtained by
the persons to whom they were ad-
dressed.
In 1850, when New Amsterdam con-
sisted of struggling groups of n story
houses with peaked roofs and gable ends
fronting the street, and when the city
extended no farther north than Wall
street, there was the town winding near
the Battery, and the government house
stood in Water street, near Whitehall.
1t was in this year that the letter carrier
first appeared-the lounger who carried
the mail to the merchant or burgher. It
was not until 1892, however, that the
first city ~postofice was established, near
Bowling green, the postmaster being
Richard Michel.
In ITO the British postmaster general
established the general p~ostoffice in this
city and ordered that all mails coming
by vessels should be sent there. A year
later post routes between New York and
Boston and New York and Albany were
established, and the mails were carried
on horseback twice a month. In 1740 a
similar route was established between
New York and Philadelphia.

THE KELLEY INSTITUTE
Twelve Years Of Established Merit
NOTE OF
TO THE PUBLIC:

DWIGHT, ILL.,, April 80, 1872.
AS a matter of justice to ourselves and to
the reputation of DIR. Leslie E. Keeley's
Double Chloride Of Gold remedies, for the
cure of the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia, we warn
the public that these remedies are used by
no institution or sanitarium in the United
States except those established by ouI com
pany under the uniform name of "The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes es-
tablished in various parts of the United
States where the Kelley treatment is ad.
ministered and the Kelley remedies sold
We, however, caution all to examine well
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized by us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies
The fraudulent establishments use the name
of "Bi-Chloride of Gold" or similar titles
The newspapers do not discriminate sufi'
GENTLY to know that they are imitators, anG
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Kelley treatment. This is a matter O
much concern to US, hence this warming.

Decidedly ShakY.

A trembling hand, an uncertain step,
fidgetiness, indicated by restless shifting
from one place or posture to another,
usually mental annoyance at unexpected
noises, are among the indications of ex-
IRENE nervousness. These seem trifling,
but the health of men and women III this
condition is decidedly shaky," liable to
be overthrown disastrously by causes
which the vigorous might defy. To for
tify the nervous system, general vigor
must, through the medium of reinforced
digestion and renewal of an impaired
power of sleeping at night, be raised to a
healthful standard. A guarantee of this
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which re-
establishes digestion, bile secretion and
the habit of body on a permanently regu-
lar basis, thus renewing that bodily
equilibrium, which is followed by gain
of strength and nerve tranquility. For

a DAY IN BED.
Repose Essential to Health and Lon
gevity.

Repose Essential to Health and Lon
gevity.
A writer in the Health Bulletin makes
the suggestions: We are naturally given
to condemn and despise the idea of re-
manning in bed when our health is good
and all our vital forces in fair working
order. Apart from the matter of our
nightly rest, We rarely think of "a day in
bedn either as preventative of health or
conducive to longevity. Yet | am con-
WINGED there is much to be said in favor
of "a day in bed' now and then, as an aid
to health in the middle-a ed, and as u
measure tending to prolong life in the
old.
In bed the whole muscular system is at
ease and the wear and tear of the body is
reduced to minimum. The processes of
getting rid of waste matters are in abey-
ance; there is less waste to get rid of, and
lungs, skin and kidneys have a measure
of comparative repose. The nervous sys-
tenn, above all, is soothed and comforted
by the day in bed.s AnXieties and wor-
ries disappear after the rest, and the in
dividual returns to the work-a-day world
refreshed and renovated, physically and
mentally, in a degree such as the action
of no medicines could haveaccomplished
In word, the person who enjoys "a day
in bed' is in the position OF an engine
whose fires are banked down, and whose
energies are recruiting for the renewal of
the work of tomorrow.
There need be little hesitation, then, in
saving that, for old persons, "a day in
bedr is healthful measure of vast i'm
portance Ii the aged person is wise, he
or she will make it regular practice to
spend couple of days per week in the re-
pose which a sojourn in bed alone can
give. Rest in chair or on sofa will not
suffice. These procedures are too nearly
akin 10 the everyday practice to be of any
service. Countless temptations to exer-
ton await the person who is out of bed;
while conversely, if he is in bed, the idea
of work or of labor and movement is es-
sentially abolished. Such repose is abso-
lutte; and ii rest is a great medicine as
all know it is, for old folks, "a day in
bed" as a regular and not occasional
practice, may be regarded as invaluable
beyond comprehension.
| go further in my advocacy of "a day
in bed' as a health measure. | happen
to know the case of a busy man whose
life is one long period of physical and
mental activity, and who has found. OF
late years, that no measure possesses
anything like the recuperative effects
which follow days rest in bed. Even
in his holiday season this person is given
to take an occasional siesta in his bed
room. Provided with light literature he
enjoys his repose as another man delights
| in an outing, and his mental and physi-
cal energy is recruited in an easy and
satisfactory manner by this practice.
| Hence, not for the old alone. but for those
| in middle life, "a day in bedu may be
recommended as a measure worth trying
in the light of physiological experience
/ of its value.
