In these days postage stamp are a
familiar necessity. Their loss would
occasion almost as much confusion
and difficulty a the loss of our money
system; and vet 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
post office the charges for transport
ing the letter, and the postmaster
stamped the word paid" above the
address. The first sta mps were
two denominations, five and ten cents
The first bore the likeness of franklin
in rose color, and the second that of
Washington. Envelopes were not in
use in those days, but sheet of paper
was carefully folded and sealed with a
red wafer. For letter of one sheet
of paper for distance less tn N 500
miles the five cent stamp sufficed
When envelopes, including the STAN
ped envelopes, came in in 1851, a re-
vision Of postal practices Was neces
sary, and weight, instead of the num-
Der of sheets of paper became the
standard measure.

A girl from town is staying with
some country cousins who live at
farm. On the night of her arrival she
finds, to her modification, that she is
ignorant of all sorts of things con-
nected with farm life which to her
country cousins are matters of every
day knowledge. She fancies they
seem amused at her ignorance.
At breakfast the following morning
she sees on the table a dish of fine
honey, whereupon she thinks she has
found an opportunity of retrieving
her humiliating experience of the
night before and of showing her coun-
try cousins that she knows some thing
of country life after all. So, looking

THE COW THAT PAYS.

Every dairy has profitable and unprofit
able cows. One improbable cow will take
the profits off at least five paying COWS. 1t
costs more TO keep a losing cow than it
does to keep paying one. Thousands of
cows are Improbable for the simple need
of some remedy that will tone up the sys-
tenn by increasing the blood supply, slim
ulate the digestive secretions and appe
tite.
The cow that lost her calf is not paying,
and unless you do something for her she is
very liable to do the same thing next year.
It is the same way with the COW you can
not get with calf. Then there is the cow
that did not EEclean" we'll and the one with
punches in her udder. The gargety COW

Remember that the best way to
profit by the depression of the last
four years is to save something out
Of the prosperity for any other possible
season of idleness and distress. With
the vast abundance that this country
has known, the habit of economy has
come slowly. Many have seen the
wisdom of it and they are our rich
people the owners of our lands
and industries and banks and profita-
BILE properties. But the great ma
jority of our people have lived up
to their incomes, and when the wages
stopped or the salaries ceased grim
want stalked in. And so good men
and we'll bred women had to go to
charity; had to sacrifice their pride
accept of the public bounty be-
cause in their days Of prosperity they
had forgotten the future. Saving
comes easily when it is once begun.
Do not spend more than you earn.
When Peter Cooper earned dollar
he lived on fifty cents Of it, and the
successful men will testify how hard
the struggle was to save the first
money and how easy it was after the
habit had peen formed. We are go
ing to have four of the greatest years
the world has ever known, but no
one should let that prospect delude
him into spending all he gets. There
is safety only in saving.

A Herald special from Washington
says: Among the developments in
connection with the Union Pacific
Railroad, it is said steps have been
taken to obtain an order postponing
the proposed sale of the road under
foreclosure. A United States Judge
of competent authority has expressed
willingness TO make such an order
upon information that six responsible
financiers stand ready to make a
larger bid for the property than the
Huntington syndicate has offered.
Attorney General McKenna. said last
night that he had not yet received
any information regarding the state
ment that six resp onsible financiers
stood ready to make larger bid for
reorganization syndicate. He said he
hoped there would be such bid and
intimated that the Government was
not only willing but anxious to receive
a higher bid. The Administration
does not wish to go into any arrange
ment that will perpetuate the debt Of
the road to the Government. All the
propositions received thus far contain
funding features, and should there be
snch feature in the new proposition
it will undoubtedly be rejected on the
ground that ali propositions for re-
funding the debt have been condemn
ed by Congress.
