Pennies Not Legal Tonder i1 4 mounts of
 More Than Twenty-Five Cents.
 There is postmaster in little town not far distant. who is noted for the amount of authority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A short time ago, says the Mount Morris (Mich.l Union, business man Of the place ap- peared before the stamp window of the office and demanded 300 one-cent number of pennies. Here was a good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with view of teaching his impor- tance, he picked 25 pennies from the heap, handed out 25 stamps and showed the rest of the money to the would-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 25 cents.
 Expostulation was in vain, the post master cited the law in the case and that seemed to settle it. With malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired: q suppose can get one-cent stamp here for penny, can't IF" Certainly" sa,d the man at the window. "Then give me one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was handed to him, and he demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in the meantime, and were impatiently wait ing their turn at the window, but the obdurate buyer kept on gravely buying one-cent stamps on the installment plan. Seeing determination in the face of the other, the postmaster offered to arbitrate, but it was of no avail. He continued to buy as long as his money lasted, and triumphantly departed amidst the approving smiles of the crowd.

AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.

The COmD1nat1On or Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.
 The defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says Blackwood's Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had focl1ed into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived Beyond the ocean lay vast world of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud- ing English commerce from tie larger half of the planet. Systematic vio- lence-that is, the comb inaiion Of trade with private war-was the only mode in which this monopoly could be at tackled.
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar itime war both before and after the Armada, and the struggles between Eng fish traders and Spanish monopolists were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called piracy or heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisition and give it back to the free use of the human race, which was the first step in the de- velopment of three colossal growths- British trade, British empire, the Brit ish navy. .,--4

The story runs that, during war be- tween the backwoods settlers of North America and the natives, a Quaker feasted the enemy and placed white feather over the door of his house as a sign of amity. The token was re- spected. Hence the phrase: Showing the white feather" which has come to mean cowardice.

plosiOns, first of the ammonia pipes
then of the steam boiler
The force of the explosion was
shown by the injury to a man named
Funk, who was standing in front Of
his saloon across the street and was
badly burned.
The fumes of the ammonia were SC
strong that the firemen and Others
found the greatest difficulty in getting
to the scene of the wreck.
