The First Post Houses.

The first posts are said to have origi-
mated in the regular couriers estab-
lished by Cyrus about $50 B. c., who
erected post houses throughout the
kingdom Of Persia. Augustus was the
first to introduce this institution among
the Romans, 81 B. c., and he was imi-
tated by Charlemagne about 500 A. D.
Louis XI. was the first sovereign to es-
tablish post houses in France owing to
his eagerness for news, and they were
also the first institution Of this nature
In Europe. This was In 1470, or about
1000 years after they were started in
Persia.

Raising q Falsc Issue.

A story well known to lawyers Of the
last generation is about the umbrella
case a man was charged with steal
ing an umbrella, and a number Of wit
nesses went into the box to.testfy to
the offense. The counsel for the de-
fendant noted that each witness car
ried all umbrella (he time Of gear was
midsummer, which explains the neces-
sity for these impediments) AS
matter Of fact the prisoner had no de-
fense to make. The barrister, thrown
on his wits, exclaimed: Gentlemen Of
the jury, did you not notice that each
Of the witnesses carried an umbrella
into the box? Why Is this, gentlemens
It Is done in order to infect your minds
with the idea Of an umbrella, to pretu-
dice the prisoner in your eyes, to raise
a false ISSUE and I appeal to you
to signify your detestation Of this con-
certed action by bringing in verdict
Of not guilty" The judge, who i'm
agined that little attention would be
paid to such a plea, took 1ttrle time and
less pains to sum up the case. The
jury nevertheless brought in verdict
in accordance with the resourceful bar
risters wishes.-london News.

Ihse3,s Gru1neHS.

In 1891 Georg Brandes happened to
be with some friends at Sandviken,
near Christiania, when they heard that
Ibsen was staying at the local hotel.
They decided to invite lin to dinner,
but he declined when be was told that
there would be nine persons at the Dan
quet. II never dine with so 'arge
party" he said. Finally he was per-
suaded to say EYES," but il the mean
time the number Of persons whose re-
quest to be present Brandes could not
possibly refuse had grown to twenty
two. Ibsen was furious when be lis
covered this, but Brandes managed =
get him to the dining room, where, how
ever, the poet looked so forbidding that
champagne had to be served mmed-
ately after the soup to give courage to
the guests. Ibsen acted like bear all
the evening. When one Of the guests,
an actress, remarked that she liked his
roles better than any others he an
swered grufy: Il do not write any
roles. I represent characters, and l
never work for any actor or actress"

Understood BIS Art.

Baron Won Steuben was the drilmas-
ter Of the Continental army at Valley
Forge. At first the men in the ranks
did not know the manual exercise;
many Of the officers knew little or moth
ing Of maneuvering. One Of the latter
turned out for inspection in dressing
gown. "Himmel und erde" cried the
baron. "What kind Of creature Is this?
Baron Won Steuben was choleric and
profane, but he understood his art. BE
swore at the ragged Continentals IN
both German and French, but he taught
them the value Of drill and discipline.
When be had exhausted all the French
and German oaths he knew he would
roar to his aid, Come here, Herr Haupt-
mann, and help me curse these block
heads" But he turned the undisci-
plined militia into we'll drilled troops.
Never again was the enemy able to
laugh at "Mr Washington's rotten reg
iments Of ragamuhns."

Heller Shelter.

"Helter, skelter" has been suggestive
" defined as a jing.ing expression,
vaguely initiating tie hurried clatter
Of feet rapidly and irregularly moved.
Most dictionaries, however, led astray
probably by the ordinary orthography,
have missed the true etymology Of this
phrase. 1t should be "helter kelter."
"Helter" is an old word for chang"
probably connected with halter, and
"kelter" IS used by old writers In the
sense of order" or the proper state.
Thus Barrow, the divine, says, "1f the
organs Of prayer be: out Of keller how
can We pray?"
"Helter skelter," therefore, is literal
ly "hang order" and means, "Oh, hang
order; let us do It, or let it take its
chance" Ben Jonson in every Man
In His Humor' writes, "Helter skelter,
hang sorrow, care'll kill a cat" and
Shakespeare, using it to express rush
and hurry, says, "Helter skelter have

Burial by DEGREES.

The few old eX-slaves now left IN the
West Indies have many curious Gus
toms, but the most curious is that Of
burying themselves on the installment
plan. When they comb their hair they
are careful not to pull more hairs from
the head than they can help. Those
which come away they roll into ball
and put into a bag Of white muslin.
They do the same with the parings OF
their nails and any other portions Of
their anatomy which become detached.
When the bag is full they bury 1t. II
asked why they do this they reply:
"When me dead, massa, you bury me
body. Ne hair am part Of me body, so
me bury 1t now when it dead"

The Best way to Preserve a Bosy.

There is no other way in which a
body can be preserved so long, leaving
freezing and mummifcation out OF the
question, as by burial in lead coffin.
If the receptacle is alright, lack OF
oxygen brings putrefaction almost II
not quite to a pause, and the face OF a
defunct person may be recognizable
after q long period Of time. The at
tempts frequently made to destroy
bodies by covering them with lime
usually have the opposite effect, pre-
serving them by keeping out the air.
