that is the state of Washington. One

for some reason it didn't stick and was
changed to Tennessee. But the great

When There Were No Postage Stamps.
In these days postage stamps are a
familiar necessity. Their loss would
occasion almost as much confusion
and difficulty as the loss Of our money
system; and yet, fifty years ago the
world never had seen postage stamp
nor even an envelope.
Before the days of postage stamps it
was customary to pay in cash at the
postoffice the charges for transporting
the letter, and the postmaster stamped
the word "paid" above the address.
The first stamps were Of two denomin-
atoms, five and ten cents. The first
bore the likeness of Franklin in rose
color, and the second that of Washing
ton. Envelopes were not in use in
those days, but q sheet Of paper was
carefully folded and sealed with a red
wafer. For letter Of one sheet of
paper for distance less than 300
miles the fve-cent stamp suAiced.
When envelopes, including the stamped
envelopes, came in in 1851, revision
Of postal practices was necessary, and
weight, instead Of the number of sheets
of paper, became the standard meas
ure. Postage was in that year very
much reduced, and the three.cent
price for the half-ounce letter was
opted.-Chicago Record.

QUAINT EPITAPHS.
Curious Inscriptions on Gravestones In al
Old Baptist Burying Ground.

Old Baptist Burying Ground.
Some curious inscriptions are often
found on ancient gravestones in coun-
try cemeteries. In an old Baptist
burying ground, near Hightstown, N.
j., are many that ,are remarkable for
quaintness and originality.
The lament of wife for her husband
is as follows:
My head and stay is took away,
And am left alone;
My husband dear, who was so near,
Is took away and gone.
1t grieves my heart that must part
With one who was so kind:
must be still, 1t is Gods will
That am left behind.
An inscription bearing the date
1790is
Come stop and see
What death has done.
This is the place
We all must come!
Another reads:
Farewell, dear family, here below,
Now Christ has called and must 60;
AS an now, SO you must be,
Prepare for death and follow me.
But more interesting even than these
are two old graves lying solitary in the
midst Of field now we'll covered with
ripening corn. Every year the plough
has encroached on the plot that once
surrounded them, and they would now
be completely obliterated were it not
for the stones. One Of these has been
thrown down by careless plough
man, and it was only by turn
ing it over and scraping off the dirt
and moss that the following inscription
was deciphered:

Raising Sunken Vessels.

Some months ago, when one Of our
great ocean liners was stuck in the
sand at point only a few hours dis
tant from her destination, the sugges.
ton was made to get the ship out Of
her environment by washing the sand
away from her sides by means Of
then b5' faHatrvuy sry little force would
water. It was rumored then '1tf h9al|
mastery inactivity was tho policy of
some Of the parties concerned in he1
release. Since that time there has
been agrest deal Of discussion as to the
best methods of raising sunken YES.
sells and lifting those that were stuck
on sand bars. It is unquestionably
the fact that if powerful pumps could
be SO arranged that streams Of water
would pour into the sand around the
hull of the ship there would be very
little time lost in releasing it. In con-
nection with this means it has been
suggested that heavy iron cylinders be
attached to the sides of the vessel as
low down as possible. These are
pumped full of air or gas and would
assist in lifting the vessel and floating
her out of harms way. It is predict
ed that this will be the salvage pro-
cess Of the future. Heavy bands Of
webbing made OF strong and suitable
material can be worked under the bot
tom Of the ship. To the ends of this
webbing these iron cylinders can be
attached. Pumps are then applied
and gas or air is forced into them.
Then the pumps are started and as
the sand is washed entirely away from
the sides of the ship the buoyancy of
the cylinders slowly lifts the great
body to the surface. Either means
used by itself might not have the de-
sired effect, but applied together this
is unquestionably the most practical
method by which such enormous bulk
can be raised. The webbing or bands
could be placed so close together that
they would practically form network
under the hull Of the ship. By means
