The first posts are said to have

who erected posthouses throughout the
Kingdom of Persia. Augustus was the
first to introduce this institution
among the Romans, 81 B. c., and he
was initiated by Charlemagne about
800 A. ID. Louis XI. was the first
sovereign to establish posthouses in
France, owing to his eagerness for
news, and they were also the first in
stitution of this nature in Europe.
This was in 1470, or about 2000 years
after they were started in Persia.

China's Chain OF Forts.

The feeling which prompted the
Chinese Government twenty centuries

China 5000 miles in length seems to be

A Thrilling Adventure.

Ezra Thomas, prospector OF Shasta
County (where he is known as the
'Mountain Boy'0, had m exciting ad-
venture on Sunday last in the neigh
borhood of Taylors Flat. While
leisurely walking along the trail with
his pick on his shoulder his attention
was suddenly called to the fact that
something was running along behind
him. On turning around he saw a
deer coming on the dead run and with
i'll n few feet of him. He stepped
aside, and, as the deer reached him,
he struck it on the head with his pick,
the point of which WAS embedded deep
in the dcer's forehead. The deer
dropped dead. No sooner had he dis
patched the deer than his attention
was again directed to the trail over
which the deer had come. when, to his
utter astonishment and alarm, he saw
huge California lion bounding along
after the deer. The Mountain Boy"
had barely time to step aside to give
the animal the right of way and get
his pick in readiness for an attack
when the lion came leaping to where
he was He made lick ut the ami
mails head with the pick, but as the
lion was going Mt such velocity he
missed his marx and struck one of the
lions hind legs, breakingit The lion
with savage growl and swapping its
teeth in rage bounded away on three
legs and disappeared. The dead deer
was brought to the residence of J. d.
Hayward, where it served to satisfy
the cravings of the inner man.-

The New York Herald thinks that the
whole country will applaud the demand
made at the organization of the Sculp-
ture Society for the emancipation of
sculptural art from trousers and frock
coats. There is little room for the
play of poetic feeling in the modern
male costume Still, while we have
trousers and coats in our art they
should be well done. To some extent
sculptor can indicate the grace of
the anatomy even through trousers.
1t is evident that most of our artists
handle the conventional costume of to-
day in spirit of disdain, confning
their really serious work on portrait
statuary to the head. Make war on
trousers in sculpture, but in the mean
time remember Siat there are trousers

The Cleveland Ohio Plaindealer

rapid growth that its population in
1890 was 261, ,353, as compared with
160, 146 ten years before, an increase
of 101, 107, or sixtythree per cent.
pointing to an annual average increase
of 10000. AT that rate, it is estima-
ted, Cleveland's present POPULATION is
not less than 292, 900, but is pointed
out that inasmuch as the bulk of the
increase during the decade was in the
latter half thereof, and as it is mat
ter of common observation that the
increase has been at faster rate than
from 1885 to 1890, therefore Cleve-
lands present population must run
over 800, 900.

REMEMBER TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE:
That the same flavor will not suit

That equal parts of Mocha, Jaws

many people.
That every ono can be suited to 9
nicely by properly blending two OF
more kinds.
That the enjoyment of q beverage
and slavish devotion thereto are quite
different things.
That mild coffee can be made
dangerously strong and still retain the
mildness of flavor.
That the flavor is improved if the
liquid is turned from the dregs as
soon as the proper strength has been
obtained.
That a good coffee will always com
mand fair price, but that all high
priced coffees are not necessarily OF
high quality.
That where the percolation method
is used the coffee should be ground
very fine or the strength will not be
extracted.
That if the ground coffee is put into
the water and boiled it should be rather
coarse, otherwise it will invariably be
muddy.
That in serving the cups and cream
should be warm: the cream should be
put in the cup before the coffee is
poured in, but it is immaterial when

of cooking potatoes. They never boil
