ORIGIN OF POSTAGE STAMPS.

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 ottoe
department at Washington.
II appears that about 60 years aeo
Rowland Hill was travelling through
one oi the northern districts OF Ems
land and for a time was soiourning at
an inn whore the postman came with
a letter for a young miss, who turned

examining the envelope minutely In
quircd the price OF the postage. which

returned the letter to the postman.
saying that Il was from her brother.
but that she had no money.
Mr. Hill was an onlooker and was
touched with pity. lie paid the
postage and his action seemed TO en-
barrass the glrl. when the postman
had gone she told Mr. Hill that some
signs marked on the envelope con
yeyod to her all she wanted to know
and that as a fact there was no writ
Ing lnclosed. In extenuation she said
that she and her brother had con
trived a code system Of oommunicat

sea god when his mother, Enc, had thrown herself into the ocean with him in her arms. They were repeated every third year.
 The Panathenean games were estab- lished in honor of Minerva, the patron ess of Athens and first appointed by Orpheus, and called Athenoea. Horse races and foot races with torches, dances by boys in armor, and gym nical trials were followed by musical contentious on the harp and flute, first ordained by Pericles. Pericles, once a disciple of the musician Damon, and an, excellent musical performer him. self. than whom antiquity cannot boast a more accomplished character, was equally a judge and encourager of all the arts. Plut9rch, in the life of this illustrious man, tells us, that "the Muses bore a principal share in all the public spectacles with which he enter tained the people," Not only did he regulate and augment the poetical and musical contests at the Panathenean games, but built the Ordeum or music room, in which poets and musicians daily exercised themselves in their art, and rehearsed new compositions before they were performed in the theater. And it is worthy of notice that Pericles in vited to Athens the renowned Anti genides.
 The first musical victor in these games was the lyrist, Phrynis of Nifty lene. In their songs, they celebrated the gerenous undertaking of Harmonious who opposed the Pisistratidae, and of Thrasybulus who delivered Athens from its thirty tyrants. Homer's poems were sung and the poets contended in four plays called from their number, Tetra- logia. Conquest was rewarded with a vessel of oil and a crown made of the olives which grew in the grove of Acadamus and was sacred to Minerva. l In the procession, Minerva's sacred peplus, or white garment, without sleeves and woven by a select number of virgins, was borne along by them attended by two young girls under ! eleven years of age, attired in white ornamented with gold, and no person
 was permitted to appear in dyed habill mentS.
 It was customary to proclaim a gen. eral amnesty in favor of prisoners and
 to present a golden crown to such as had deserved well of their country.
 In the ceramicus, a bay of Caris
 an engine was erected in the form of 6 1 ship upon which Minerva's garment
 embroidered with gold and having upor it the representation of the achieve ments of the goddess was suspended
 as a sail and the whole put in motion | by subterranean machines. It was
 then conveyed to the temple of Ceres ! Eleussinia and thence to the citade

rendered the Olympic victors With their odes which were performed in processions and temples with religious zeal and solemnity. They were highly esteemed.
 The Pythian games were instituted in commemoration and in honor ol Apollo's destruction of the serpent Py- thon. They were celebrated in place called Pythium, situated in Macedo- mia, and also at Delphi. They com menced in the third year of the forty eighth Olympiad, from which time the Greeks reckoned sometimes by Olym- piads and sometimes by Pythiades. At their origin they were held every eight years but afterwards became quad Irennial which served for an epoch for the inhabitants of Delphi At first they were devoted to poetical and mus ical contests but were soon extended to the other exercises of the Pancrati- um performed in the Olympic games. The prize first consisted of wreath of beech leaves but afterwards of a crown of laurel and was awarded to him who had composed and sung the best hymn in honor of Apollp. The Py- thian games were conducted with the greatest order and solemnity. The Pythii, whose especial office Tt was to consult the oracle at Delphi and who, on account of their high and sacred character were, like the kings, main- tained at the public expense, always attended them in state, sitting in the most distinguished place.
 Ph1tarch informs us that to the mus ical premiums given at Delphi, one fol tragedy was added in later times and that, by degrees, a great variety ot contests was admitted, among whict were trials in the graphic art, that is exhibitions In paintings. This institu. ton, second only to that of Olympia continued according to the testimony of many ancient authors, several cen. turies after the establishment of tho 1 Christian religion.
 l The Nemean games were first insti tuted by tAdrastus and were afterwards re-established and augmented in honor of the conquest obtained by Hercules over the Nemean lion. This animal, borr of the hundred headed Typhon, infest.
 ed the neighborhood of Nemea and kep
 the inhabitants in perpetual alarm These games were celebrated every third or fifth year They were gymni. cal and equestrian as we'll as poetica 1 and musical They were always opened with sacrifices to Nemean love, ap. pointing that deity priest and pro. claiming rewards for those who should 1 prove victors.
 The Isthmlan games received theii name from the Isthmus of Corinth where they were first observed They
 were instituted about 1926 before Chris and were celebrated in cOmmmoratior | of Milicertes. Ybs YaS changed into
