PENNY POSTAGE.
The Incident Thnt Led to Its Estnb-
iishment In England.

iishment In England.
Many -ars ago, when Queen Vic
tOria first began 10 reign, il cost nine
pence TO send n letter from one Eng
lish city TO another. In those days the
postage was not paid by the sender
Of the letter, as IS now customary, but
by the receiver. SO, Of course, there
were many poor people who could not
afford TO pay nincpcnce when their
mail arrived, and II often happened
that they were obliged TO forfeit the
letters.
one day man named Rowland IIill
was riding g. the outskirts of n city,
and he saw pOstman bring n letter TO
Il young girl and demand nincpcnCe
for It. The girl took the letter, scru.
tlnZcd 1t carefully and then handed It
back 10 the man, saying she could not
afford To pay the postage. ThcrcupOn
Rowland IIill, being a kind hearted
man, rode up and insisted upon paying
1t himself. When the postman had
gone, the girl confessed 10 her bcnc-
factor that the letter was from her
lover, and TO avoid paying nlnepence
on every letter he made certain marks
on the envelope which she alone could
dCciphCr,
"But,' said Rowland Hill, don't
you know you are doing something
very dishonest in thus cheating the
government"
The girl admitted she did, but there
was no other way 10 do.
IIill rode away and mcdltatcd over
this little incident, and his farfamcd
idea of "pcnny postage was the re-
suit. At first he was laughed at by
every one, but he fought braycly and
finally wa. rewarded by seeing his
idea In practice all over the land.-New

During the present year the state
school fund commissioners have APP
portioned $421,640.13 among the Kan
sas school districts. The amount
apportioned this year was greater by
nearly $4,000 than the amount up
portioned last year. The report of
the state superintendent for 1901
shows that $396,933. was disbursed.
The largest amount which was given
to any one county was to Wyandotte,
which received $19,SO1.31. The small
est amount went to Stanton, which
has only 95 children of school age,
and received only $7s.s5. The figures
in the Forthcoming report Of the SUI
perintendent will show that there has
been q decrease of TAO in the school
population of Kansas in the last year.
The school population in 1901 was
sos, 800, and this year there are only
50s,011 children of school age in the
state.

Total ............. .ss4O, 900, 900

"This shows an increase in the
value of the products given of more
than $sO.OOO,OOO, fairly distributed
among 100000 people. There has
been a much greater development in
our manufacturing industries ow-
ing to our new discoveries of gas and
oil, but these benefits have not been
so equally distributed.
1.-THE increase of money and the
condition Of our banks is no less en-
couraging than the condition Of agri-
culture. In 1898 the deposits in our
state and private banks amounted
to $22 100000; the deposits in our ma
tional banks are usually the same, SO
that it can reasonably be estimated
that in 1898 the total deposits in Kan
sas banks were $44,000,000. In 1909
the deposits in our state banks were
$40,00O,0O0, making our total deposits
$50, 000, 900, an increase OF $4,000, 900,
or more than 80 per cent.
Nearly 100 of the state banks have
unimpaired surplus equal to or great
er than 80 per cent. of their capital,
while a number have a surplus equal
to. or greater than their entire cap
ital. The total number of depositors
is in round numbers 100000, or near
ly one-tenth of our population, or To
be moro exact, one out of every IL Is
n bank depositor. Merchants cor
porations and public officers coni-
prise about one-tenth of this number,
showing that about nine-tenths be-
long to the average class, one-half
of which are farmers and stoclzmen.
Prosperity in Kansas being based
very largely on agriculture and stock
raising, the fact that 6s per cent. Of
our bank deposits are made by farm
ers and stockmen is conclusive proof
TINT our prosperity is general"

FOOD FOR THE AGED.
shouId Consist Mainly OF Vegetables
and Fruits and should Ne Taa<e@
I'm Moderation.

Food for the aged, according to
prominent English authority, shall
consist in the main of fruits and vege-
tables, as the acids dissolve out tho
lime salts from the tissues, and so
prevent too early stiffness of the joints
and other parts. Tea and coffee arc
best avoided, as they cause paralysis,
or want of proper control over tho
limbs. Pork, veal, cheese and much
flesh food must be avoided, as heavy
meal of any Of these foods is liable to
induce stroke of apoplexy. All food
should be simple, plainly cooked, and
taken in great moderation, lest the d.
gestive organs be overtaxed. Break
fast may consist of porridge and milk,
whole wheat bread and milk, or whole
wheat bread and fruit and cup OF
cocoa or milk, says the Washington
Star. -
Dinners may consist of vegetable
soup and bread, macaroni, vegetables
and some simple plainly cooked nom
flesh dish.
For dessert, stewed fruit and bread,
or plain rice, sage, tapioca or macaroni
puddings. If flesh or fish are eaten
they should be of the most digestible
kinds, as lean beef or mutton, or boiled
or baked white-meated fish, and then
in moderation. Better than meat are
vegetables favored with the gravy.
Supper may consist of whole wheat
bread and fruit, or boiled onions, cell
cry or beet root, and cup of cocoa or
milk and water. Food should not be
taken for at least three hours before
going to bed.
While exercise for elderly people Is
imperative, it should be gentle. Level
ground is best to walk on, and exercise
should never be taken within an hour
after meal. Heavy lifting, strainingor
hurrying must be avoided. Fresh air
is the best preventive of chest COM
plants, and if well protected there
need be no curtailing of exercise, even
in wet and stormy weather.
