ORIGIN OF POSTAGE STAMPS.
Secret Sign on an Envelope the Cause
of Present System.

Quite recently there has been more
or less discussion as to the origin of
the postage stamp.
Perhaps the most authentic story is
that which comes from the post office
department at Washington.
1t appears that about 65 years G
Rowland Hill was travelling through
n of the northern districts of Eng
lane and for a time was sojourning az
an inn where the postman came with
a letter for a young miss, who turned
it over and over in her hand and after
examining the envelope infinitely in
CURED the price of the postage, which
was a shilling. She sighed sadly and
returned the letter to the postman,
saying that 1t was from her brother,
but that she had no money.
Mr.. Hill was an onlooker and was
touched with pity. He paid the
postage and his action seemed to en-
barrass the girl. When the postman
had gone she told Mr.. Hill that some
signs marked on the envelope con-
veyed to her all she wanted to know
and that as a fact there was no writ
Ing inclosed. In extenuation she said
that she and her brother had con
trfved a code system of communicate
ing. as neither of them we're able to
pay post charges.
Mr.. Hill thought Of the results of a
system which made such frauds pos
siole. Before another day he had
planned a postal system upon the pres.
ent basis.-Harper's Weekly.
