INTERNATIONAL RsPlY-pAID ENVELOPE

Mr.. Henniker Heaton. NJ. T.. told Mr..
Francis Merridew. and English bookseller
at Boulogne that the creation OF an In
ternational postage stamp was one of the
dreams Of his life. says the London FIX
press Thereupon the latter. after
eight years labor. has devised an
interna uonal reply paid envelope
which would appear TO Cd all
that is required OF it.
The question OF preparing reply-letier
postage from abroad has long engaged
the attention Of the postal authorities
Various projects for an International
stamp 10 meet this want have been con-
sidered and rejected owing TO the diversi-
u between the currcnCies OF differeut
countries. and the possibility Of traffck.
ing with a special kind OF stamp. which
would be largely dealt in In the cheap
est market. 10 the detriment OF various
postal revenues.
MIR Merridcws device consists of an
envelope which will convey the letter Of
inquiry. the same cover being used 10
brinE bdCk the f'plN -

The Withdrawn inner Zap. bearing the
reply stamp. would bc fastened down over
the original address, leaving the outgoing
stamp visible. The presence of the post
marks of Tho eXr hanging offices Will pro-
NiHc means nt control against Illicit use.
Foreign reply envelopes would be used
in the same way ~ intrrna ational reply

and if d. proposed therefore. that the
post Offices charge 81 DO. fur The foreign

ff The Postal Iuion adopted this system

An American Career.

In 1857, in the graduating class of
the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute,
was a youth Of II, named Charles R.
Flint. He was born in Maine, but
raised in the City of Churches. At
that time he had earned an enviable
reputation for indomitable application
and enormous power of work He was
not brilliant scholar or speaker, but
in the Milton Literary Club, composed
of the brightest students of the Insti-
tute, he was regarded as one Of it's
ablest members. After graduation, he
entered into commercial life, and be-
came first a clerk and then a junior
partner in a small shipping house
known as William R. Grace & Co. The
firm had an unpretentious office in
downtown New York, and was insig-
nifcant compared with the older and
larger houses Of the neighborhood. Yet
through the genius of it's members, and
especially of Flint, it was destined to
become great financial power, and its
members to be multi millionaires. The
young man applied to business the
same principles that had made him
successful in the Institute. Within ten
years he was a wealthy man. At 40 he
was worth more than million; to-day
he is ranked among the great capital
lists Of the world.-Frank Leslie's Pop
ular Monthly.

A. Promoters Humor

Charles R. Flint has quaint Yankee
humor which is as well developed to-
day as in his school years. In the
Polytechnic Institute the markings
were on the basis of one hundred and
were bulletined monthly. One day a
group Of boys were looking at the new
bulletin, ON which one of the hopeless
dullards Of the class was marked
sixty-six.
Flint said slowly
"Sixty-six, that's the very number of
our year, and 1 hope when we get to
'99 Jack will receive that figurew
Once a sanctimonious person re-
marked:
children should never be allowed to
play with toys on Sundayp'
MAY they not play with religious
toys" he queried.
