Early Postage In England.

Articles of value could be sent If an
account Of them were given at the
Office. In I'LL an act was passed abol-
ishing the penny post They were taxed
with the rates and stamped with the
mark of the general postoffice, and
the rate was l shilling per ounce for
parcels. Letters could be carried
eighty miles for 2 pence; letters more
than eighty miles, pence and pence
A letter to Dublin cost pence single,
and double letters l shilling, and
shilling and pence an ounce. For
eign postage was not expensive. In
17O5, for instance. a letter of single
sheet could be carried to the West In
dies for shilling and pence, and in
1908 Mr.. Povey established foot post
carrying letters in the London district
only, for half penny; it was not
long, however, before the postal au-
thorities stopped him.

that we rode together in the cars he

which he had passed in the civil war.
He said that there came one battle
upon which everything seemed to
pivot. kilograms from Washington

me: Il went into that battle, sir,

week he argues, contrary to the opin-
ion of many, that religion is an active
principle which works constantly for
the welfare of body and mind and
soul His text is Luke xiv. "a, Salt
is good"
The Bible is dictionary Of the
finest similes. 1t employs, among nv
ing creatures, storks and eagles and
doves and unicorns and sheep and cat
tie; among trees, sycamores and tere-
binths and pomegranates and Al
monds and apples; among jewels
pearls and amethysts and jacinths and
chrysoprases. Christ uses no stale
illustrations. The lilies that he plucks
for his sermons are dewy fresh: the
ravens in his discourses are not stuff
ed specimens of birds, but warm with
life from wing tip to wing tip; the
fish he points to are not dull about
but a-sQuirm in the wet net just
brought up on the beach of Tiberias.
In my text, which is the peroration OF
one Of his sermons, he picks up
crystal and holds 1t before his con-
gregation as an illustration of divine
grace in the heart, when he says, what
We all know by experiment. Salt is

/ shall try to carry out the Savior's
idea in this text and in the first place
say to you that grace is like salt in
Its beauty. In Galicia there are mines
OF salt with excavations and under

ESQ miles. Far under ground there
are chapels and halls of reception, the
columns. the affairs and the pulpits OF
salt. When the king and the princes
come to visit these mines. the whole
place Is Illuminated, and the glory OF
crystal walls and crystal ceilings and
crystal floors and crystal columns,
under the glare of the torches and the
lamps, needs words of crystal to de-
scribe it. But you need not 60 SO
far as that to find the beauty OF salt.
You live in land which produces mil
lions Of bushels of 1t in a year, and
you can take the morning rail train
and in a few hours get to the salt
mines and salt springs. And you
have this article morning. noon and
night on your table Salt has all the
beauty Of the snowflake and water
foam with durability added. It Is
beautiful to the naked eye, but under
the glass you see the stars and the
diamonds and the white tree branches
and the splinters and the bridges OF
fire as the sun glints them. There Is
more architectural skill in one OF these
crystals OF salt than human ingenu-

1t would take all time. with an IN

in salt crystal. So with the grace
Of God. 1t is perfectly beautiful. I
have seen it smooth out wrinkles OF

ing shoulders and put sparkle into the

banished and that a man a hundred
years of age will come in from busi-
ness and say: Il feel tired. l think
it must be time for me to 60" and
without one physical pang heaven Will
have him.
But the chief beauty of grace is IN
the soul 1t takes that which was
hard and cold and repulsive and
makes 1t all over again. 1t pours
upon ones nature what David calls
the beauty of holiness" 1t extir-
pates everything that is hateful and
unclean. II jealousy and pride and
lust and worldliness lurk about, they
are chained and have very small
sweep. Jesus throws upon the soul
the fragrance Of summer garden as
he comes in, saying, Il am the rose

he glory of spring morning as he
says, Il am LIE I.e.L. Oh, how niAL.,

1t took John Bunyan, the foul mouth
ed, and made John Bunyan, the i'm
mortal dreamer. 1t took John New
ton, the infidel sailor. and in the midst
of the hurricane made him cry out,
my mothers God, have mercy upon
mel" 1t took John Summerfield from
life Of sin, and. by the hand of a
Christian maker of edge tools, led him
into the pulpit that burns still with
the light of that Christian eloquence
which charmed thousands to the Jesus
whom he once despised. Ah, you may
search all the earth over for anything
SO beautiful or beautifying ~ the
grace Of God. Go all through the deep
mine passages of Wieliczka and amid
the underground Kingdoms of salt In
Hallstadt, and show me anything 80
exquisite, SO transcendently beautiful
as this grace of God fashioned and
hung in eternal crystals.
A Necessity of Life.
Again. grace is like salt in the fact
that it is necessity of life. Man
and beast perish without salt. What
are those paths across the western
prairies? Why, they were made there
by deer and buffalo going and coming
away from salt Ticks" Chemists and

EARTHQUAKES.
4 New Theory and Some Queer Com
ments Upon 1t.

New Theory and Some Queer Conn
ments Upon 1t.
From the Mexican Herald
Almost every day of late the telegraph
has brought news of earthquakes in differ
ent parts of the world, not temblores,
which merely shake things and do little
harm, but veritable terremotos, which de-
stroy buildings and kill people. At San
Jacinto, Cal, a little town is almost ruined,
in Italy the land slides and carries off a
monastery and destroys ships and houses,
on the Mississippi river the 1evees have
been partly destroyed and in Tennessee the
famous Pinnacle Rock is shaken down. The
prediction is made by scientific observer
of seismic phenomena that next month the
earth will stretch, and We shall witness
much devastation wrought by earthquakes.
The u.s. al theory has been that the earth
shrfnks COMMUNICATIVE is, its crust-and
the new notion of Stretching is a nov
city. 1t seems evident that at the present
time the globe is giving an end-of- the-cen-
fury performance, and We may find our
geography a little the worse for wear when
the stretching process is over.
In this country the volcano of Colima is
making a grand display of fireworks and
there are indications of subterranean activ-
fty noted In a certain region down in the
state of Guerrero it is always shaking and
one carries his cup of coffee to the lips
with many precautions. A clergyman, who
has been doing missionary work there, says
tnat there are often thirty tembloreS in a
single day.
Nature has her homework to do, like an
Industrious dame; her ideas of the perma-
nency of the planets arrangements are
clearly not ours. She shakes and dusts in
the course Of her cleaning-up operations
and makes nothing of killing off tens of
thousands of human beings when she has
to upset populous island and filings the
dust In the air to remain cause of red
sunsets for many months. Man, who stays
SO short a time on the planet, fancies that
the whole great show of nature splendid
beyond the powers of artists brush or
writer's pen to depict or describe was
made for him alone. 1t is quite as reason
able to suppose that other beings, invisible
TO us, nave part In the great spectacle. 1t
Is certain that nature does not always give
heed to our human arrangements and has
small regard for human life, for can she
not renew the world perpetually? Men are
always dying, but the world is always fresh
and wonderful. Man has clearly put too
high an estimate on his puny self.
