Origin Of the Stamp.

The idea of a prepaid envelope
originated in France. early in the
reign of Louis XIV, with M. de
villier, who, in 1858. established,
under royal consent, a private
penny post, placing boxes at the
corners of the streets for the re-
.ception of letters wrapped in en-
velopes bought at offices cstab-
lished for that purpose.
M. de Villlers also had printed
certain forms of sbillets' or notes,
applicable to the ordinary busi-
ness among the inhabitants OF
great towns, with blanks which
were to be filled out with such
special matter as might be de-
sired.

Earliest Map Making.

The earliest examples of map
making are furnished by the Egyp.
tians and Babylonians. Picture
maps illustration events as early
as 500 years before Christ have
been found among the Babylo-
mans, to whom also belongs the
credit of dividing the circle into
degrees, minuts and seconds. The
Greek developed this knowledge
upon a scientific basis. Anaxim
ander of Milctus, sixth century
B. c., is credited with the first
attempt to draw map of the then
known world. The first school
atlas was issued in 1924 in Ger
many.

LATEs DIVERSION OF
MAUI STREAM.

The Merchants Association will test
the validity Of the law requiring state
ments of cooperate business to be filed
with the Treasurer of the Territory.
There was no difference Of opinion
among the members of the Association
as to the fact that the law requiring
these statements to bo filed works
lhlrmfully so far as the interests Of
the mercantile community are con-
cerned. 1, is considered that dis
tinction should be made between cor
porations whose stock Is listed upon
the exchanges or offered to the spec
ulating public and corporations which
are little more than mercantile part
l. ,rships.
One of the hardships suffered by
small concerns from the operations OF
this law 1. the facilities given to COM
petitors to obtain inside facts regard
ing the business OF firms complying
with the law.
Alr. smith. president Of the Associa-
ton, stated that his firm had regularly
refused to file the report or make the
returns called for under the law as the
law according to their attorneys, was

There was no dissent raised TO this
view and the directors of the associa

Dawes Commission Changes Plan for Indian
Land Segregation.

Muskogee, I. T. (Special).-The
Dawes Commission adopted plan for
he Delaware land segregation. When
he commission was first ordered to make
he segregation it proceeded upon plan
known as the Logan-Adams schedule.
In April, Secretary Hitchcock, upon ad-
,ice of the commission, became convinced
hat there was something wrong with this
schedule, and ordered the commission to
investigate.
Surveying parties and locating parties
vent into the Delaware country and
made a record of every Delaware, his
ands and improvements and maps. AS
, result, the commission has repudlated
he old schedule and so notified the Sec
,etary. The commission is very reticent
ibout the matter, but it is said upon the
,cst authority that the report of the Sec
.etary will indicate that there has been
fraud attempted.
1t was because of this fact that was
furnished the commission that the Chero-
zee land office was closed, and injunc-
ion served against the commission to
stop the segregation. and a suit for
100000 damages brought against them.
