POSTAL CARDS OF THE WORLD.
Eight Thousand Different Kinds Issued

Eight Thousand Different Kinds Issued
Since the Scheme Started.
1t seems almost incredible that there
should be 5000 varieties of postal cards,
but that is the extent claimed for the Wat
son collection. These, however, include
various issues of the same nation and de-
nomination, and also cards issued for spe-
cial occasions.
Postal cards have been in circulation "a
years, declares the collector. The idea
originated with Dr. Emanuel Hermann, a
professor of national economy at the I'm
perial Academy of Wiener in Neustadt,
Lower Austria.
His ideas, under the head of New Means
of Correspondence by Post" were published
and attracted the attention of the govern
ment officials. The director general of posts
took up the idea and succeeded in having
an issue of postal cards put in circulation
in 1869. The original name given to them
was the corresponding karte," and this
has been retained ever since. This new
move on the part of Austria quickly ex-
cited other countries to adopt similar
method of correspondence and before the
close of 1870 nearly all the European coun-
tries were using cards.
Germany was really the second country
to use them, and special series was issued
to the soldiers engaged in the Franco-Ger-
man war. These were called the field post
correspondence cards and were sold I'M
stamped to the soldiers at the rate of about
five for cent. The soldiers had the priv
ilege of using them without paying post
age Another series was issued for civilians.
These had place left for a stamp, and the
writer had to affix German postage stamp
to the card before posting. The field post
cards are now rare, the used ones being
scarcer than the unused ones
Another card of equal rarity and also a
reminder of the same war is the balloon
postal card issued by France during the
siege of Paris. The cards were sent up
from Paris in balloons, and the mail bags
were thrown off into the surrounding
country where there was the least possible
opportunity of their capture by the enemy.
They were smaller than the postal card
now in use and were covered with warlike
expressions, as paris defes the enemyp'
"Glory and conquest signify crimes; defeat
signifies hate and desire for vengeance"
"Only one war is just and right-that for
independence.
The United States was rather backward
in adopting the postal card system and did
not use them until 1878. The first issue
printed was of reddish color, with the head
of Liberty in the right hand corner. AS q
rule Uncle Sans cards have been inferior
to those of other countries in excellence of
engraving The designs also have not been
very artistic. The blue card, bearing the
portrait Of General Grant, is the finest speci-
men of art work issued by the United States
government.-NewY York Evening World.

IN THE NEST,

Gather them close to your loving heart,
Cradle them ON your breast;
They will soon enough leave your broodinl
care.
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair
Little ones in the nest.
Fret not that the childrcn's hearts are gay,
That the restless feet will rum
There may come time in the by and by,
When you'll sit in your lonely room and sigh
For sound of childish fun:
When you'll long for the repetition sweet
That sounded through each room,
or mother" mother" the dear loye-calls
That will echo long in the silent halls,
And add to their stately gloom.
There may come time when you'll long t,
hear
The eager, uoysh tread,
The tunccss whistle, the clear, shrill shout,
The busy hustle i'll and out,
And pattering overhead.
When the boys and girls are all grown up,
And scattered farand wide.
Or gone to the undiscovered shore
Whence youth and age come never more,
You will miss them from your side.
Then gather them close to your loving heart,
Cradle tEem ON your breast;
They will soon enough leave your brOodins
care,
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair
Little ones in the nest.

A NEW CONSCIENCE

At last, another attempt will be
made, tonight, to arouse the con-
science of the community on the
subject of cruelty to animals. That
is to say, people who "believe in
the deed, and not in the creed"
will sound the cry Of humanity
towards dumb animals, and call for
recruits for another fight against
their ill-treatment.
Though God has written across
every lava bed, and lettered every
cliff, and imprinted on the green
sward OF every valley in these ISL
ands His words, that "a merciful
man is merciful to his beast" it
still remains the history and dis
grace of evangelization and civiliz-
alton here, that this implied COM
mand has been grossly disregarded,
and the Author of it treated as if
He did not know what he was
talking about as if He did not
count the fall of every sparrow, and
hear the cry of every suffering ami
NAL.
For half a century, cruelty to
animals, in these islands, has been
widespread, fragrant and most in
lquitous. Visitors here notice it,
and residents speak of it with sor

Women May Vote.

North Forks IN. d., Aug. %.
-Attorney-G General Standish states
that any woman having the quail
fications that would entitle her to
vote if she were man, will be en-
titled to vote for Superintendent of
Public Instruction N this State at
the forthcoming State election, and
advises County Auditors and Sher-
ifs to provide in each precinct
cheaply constructed, separate
boxes to receive their votes. Where
these boxes are not provided, the
judges of elections have authority
to provide such boxes. They have
no right to debar the women from
voting nor to refuse their ballots
where the women are eligible.

row. Many of the white people
treat their own animals with the
utmost consideration, but the con-
science OF the community is as
dead on the subject as that of the
Chinese on infanticide
The churches have faithfully
looked after mems souls, but over
looked the fact that a soul spotted
with cruelty to animals needs a
deal of washing before it can get
into Heaven.
Sermons are preached on the
good Samaritan, while the COM
munity pass by the patient beasts
with their large kindly eyes, stand
ing hungry and thirsty in the street,
and in barren pasture, and it never
watches their dumb lips, always
speeches. in their distress. AS a
community, we are as little affect
ed by the sights OF these suffering
animals, as the attendants are,
who handle with grotesque humor
the dead bodies of the morgues.
So long as these daily crimes
against justice and humanity are
committed before our eyes, it is
idle to establish "Jellaby Halls"
in which grand schemes for the
conversion of remote heather are
organized, or to send "Morning
Stars" TO save distant souls, when
our own are in peril, and what is
worse, the souls of our children are
made brutal by the sight of unne
cessary animal suffering, just as
the Spaniards are made brutal by
the bull fights.

HAWAII'S EXAMPLE.

The Japan Weekly Mail, in an
article on the reformation of adj
ministration in Korea, cites the
views of a japanese paper, the
Nichi Nichi, as follows: "What is
required in Korea is not the per-
lection of official organization, but
a thorough reform of the spirit of
the administration. The Korean
statesmen and their japanese ad-
visers are referred to the example
of the revolution in Hawaii. The
Hawaiian statesmen are very prac-
teal, and they divided the bust
ness of the country into few de-
partments only"
We have already said, and shall
repeat it, that Hawaii, through its
patriotic and far-seeing men, has
before it a mission of transcendent
importance, that of making a con-
Meeting link between the new CIV
ilization and the old that of hold
ing up at this gateway to the
Orient, the torchlight of good
Anglo-Saxon civilization.

SEPTEMBER 3, 1884

THE New York Herald published
news of the China-Japanese war
in both the Chinese and Japan
csc languages. This would not
have been done, unless there
really existed a demand for such
publication. The Chinese and
Japanese are quietly settling in
New York city, and the fact that
great daily like the Herald speaks
to them in their own languages, is
the best proof that those people are
not to be ignored, and are becom-
ing effective in the community.

THE Samoan protectOrate estab-
lished by Germany and the United
States shows the ignorance
of American statesmen in the
management Of foreign affairs.
Great Britain would never, if ask
ed, involve herself in such a fix as
the Washington Government has
gotten into, because her experience
in such matters would have kept
her shy of such dangerous affairs.
AS it stands, the United States are
spending a lot of money for the
benefit of German trading house,
and getting nothing in return-not
even decent respect for the flag.
The executive of a great nation is
in a hopeless muddle about it. The
agreement made between Germany
and the United States was based,
not on the actual facts, but on
what the contracting statesmen as
sumed the facts to be, and were
sadly led astray. The failure of
American diplomacy in Samoa,
does not especially help the cause
of Hawaiian annexation.
