sehopenhauer on Anonymity.

Anonymity is the refuge for all lit
erary and journalistic rascality. 1t
is a practice which must be COM
pletely stopped. Every article, even in
newspaper, should be accompanied
by the name of it's author, and the edi-
tor should be made strictly responsible
for the accuracy of the signature. The
freedom of the press should be thus far
restricted, so that what man publicly
proclaims through the far sounding
trumpet of the newspaper he should be
answerable for, at any rate with his
honor, if he has any, and if he has
none, let his name neutralize the effect
of his words. Rascal, your name! For
man to wrap himself up and draw his
hat over his face and then fall upon
people who are walking about without
any disguise-this is not the part of a
gentleman it is the part of a scoundrel
and a knave.

New Order Relative To Postal
| Cards.

An order has been pro lulgated
by the Postal Department |, to be
effective August 1, 1907, providing
that the face side of a postal card
may be divided by a vertical line
placed approximately one third Of
the distance from the left end Of

etc., the portion to the right to be
used for the address only.
A very thin sheet of paper may
be attached if it completely adheres
to the card, and such a paster may
bear both writing and printing.
Advertisements, illustrations OR
writing may appear on the back of
the card and on the left third OF
the front.
Postal cards bearing particles Of
glass, metal, mica, sand, tinsel or
other such substances are declared
to be unavailable, except when en-
closed in envelope.

A Mistake Corrected.

1t is mistake to combine In the same remedy
both stomach and liver medicines, because the
stomach is not always out of order when the liver
is. or vica versa. While it is true that these
, organs are so closely related that when one is
affected the other is likely to be also. still there
times when one is affected and the other is
not. 1t is a serious error to give liver medicine
combined with stomach medicine when the
stomach only needs treatment. and it is not
necessary to treat the stomach when the liver only
is disordered. Rydales method is the most sensi.
BILE one. He does not combine the two. but
makes tablet for the stomach and tablet for the
liver. which can be combined if necessary. Guar.

How the Pendulum Was Found.

Like many of the commonest me-
chanical instruments in daily use, the
invention of the pendulum is due en-
tirely to chance Galilei, when under
twenty years of age, was standing one
day in the metropolitan church Of Pisa
while some painters were at work on
the ceiling of the church. A suspended
lamp which was hanging before the al
tar was disturbed in some manner, and
the scientist was struck with the al
most perfect regularity with which it
swung back and forth. The idea of
measuring time by such an instrument
found instant generation in his brain,
and he completed the system in use to
this day.-St. Louis Republic.

obviously more exposed to dust than
the others. The object of the gliding
therefore is to save the pages from
being soiled, for were it not present
the dust would cling to this top edge
and the appearance of the book would
to a great extent be spoiled.

THE POSTAGE STAMP.
Order In Which 1t Was Adopted by
Different Countries.


The first postage stamp seems to
have been used in Paris in 1858, but
the service in which the stamp was
used was only local and soon failed
On May 6, 1910, the first regular post
age stamps were issued in England
Various local forwarders of letters and
postmasters in this country issued
stamps as early as 1S41. The first to
do so was A. NJ. Grieg's City Dispatch
Post, which was sold to the govern
ment in August, 1912. Blood & Co. of
Philadelphia sold stamps in 1841, and
the postmasters of Baltimore New
Haven and New York of 1S45 also sold
stamps.
In 1S47 the government took up the
business, but Brazil in 1843 was ahead
of the United States in taking up the
stamp end of the postal business. The
other principal countries followed in
this order: France, Belgium and Ba-
varia in 1910; Hanover, British Gut
ana, Prussia, Spain and Switzerland in
1850; Italy, Denmark, Baden. Wurttem-
berg, Saxony and the provinces Of
Canada in 1861; Chile and the princes of
Turin and Taxis (who had the postal
monopoly in Germany in 1852; Portu-
gal in 1858; India and Norway in 1854:
Uruguay and Mexico in 1856; Russia
and Newfoundland in 1857; Sweden in
1858; the Australian colonies early in
the fifties; Greece In 1861; Turkey in
1868; Ecuador in 1865; Egypt in 1866;
Bolivia in 1867; Paraguay in 1870.
The international postal union was
formed in October, 1874, and went into
operation ON July 1, 1875

WOULD DRAIN swAMps.
DR.. Hill Has New Plan To Rid State
Of Mosquitoes.

To have every swamp in Mary
land drained and converted into
good tillable land, to have every
stagnant pend and puddle dried up
and to have every mosquito in the
State dead and harmless-these
things constitute the ruling am
bition of DR.. William N. Hill, of
the Baltimore Health Department
against the mosquito pest, say the
Baltimore Sun.
DIR. Hill has just returned from
the swamplands and mosquito
grounds of New Jersey, where he
has been making an exhaustive
study of the Jersey method of fight
ing the pest.
When DR.. Hill started out to do
up the mosquitoes that have been
FOSTERING Baltimore for countless
generations he had no idea of try
ing to extend the work of exter.
mination and humiliation beyond
the confines of Baltimore. He did
right well, though, in reducing the
number of the pests, but soon saw
that mosquito determination was
not mere municipal problem. 1t
takes the determination of the
insects throughout the entire State
to insure peace to any locality, for
the mosquito myriads are countless
and the places of the departed are
speedily filled.
Knowing that in New Jersey the
State authorities were waging war
scientifically against the mosquito,
DIR. Hill journeyed hither to learn.
He found that already many miles
of swampland. heretofore only dank
and worthless wastes, have been re-
claimed and that the places where
the mosquito was wont to breed
nave vanished.
He found that the drainage of
these swamps was gone about in
thoroughly systematic way and
that the results attained were far
reaching. Where land was once
yalueless, because of the mosquitoes,
their radiance has caused property
values to increase.
DIR. Hill was shown over the
work by DR.. John B. Smith, State
entomologist of New Jersey, who is
in charge of the determination of
the mosquitoes and the reclamation
of the land. The method of drain
ing off the swamps was by a system
of bitches.
The work was first started on
Staten Island, but to dig trenches
and bitches there it costs $75 a
mile. It costs in New Jersey only
500.
To have Maryland do what New
Jersey is doing is what the Doctor
desires. The Bureau of Irrigation
of the Department of Agriculture
has already under contemplation
plan to reclaim the swamp and
marshland of the country along the
Gulf and Atlantic Coasts, and DIR.
Hill hopes that the swamps of the
lower Eastern Shore and of Charles
county will be included. Then, he
thinks, with the State helping out
with the rest of the swamps in the
the State, the mosquitoes that
bother us now will soon be nothing
but memories.
