The First Mourning Paper.

The Oldest known letter written on
black edged note paper as sign of
mourning appears to be one dated Jan.
5, 1858. In Addison's comedy OF 1.-THE
Drummer" Ills, reference is made toI
the fashion in the words, my lady's
mourning paper that Is BACKED at the
edges" A few years later Allan Ram,
say, who died in 1853, speaks in one
Of his poems Of "the sable bordered
sheet" as a messenger Of sorrow.
Mann, writing from Italy to Horace
Walpole in 1745, says that it was uni
versally used in Florence at that time.
The superior elegance of this italian
note paper, with its narrow margin Of
black, explains its ready acceptance In
this country, where it superseded the
quarto sheet with black border some
times a quarter of an inch wide. In
this way 1t probably gave an impetus
| to the fashion. But 1t Is a mistake to
suppose, as some have done, that the
fashion was introduced from Italy

Astronomy.

If there were any money to be made
in astronomy everybody would be
studying it. About all we can see is
figures, and these are so big that they
stagger the understanding. Every child
in the United States knows how to find
the north star (Old Polaris) from the
pointers of the dipper, but no child
can appreciate the statement that this
star is distant from the earth 210,OOO,-
OOO.OOO,OOO miles-two hundred and ten
trillions! The Twentieth Century Linn
tied, travelling at one mile minute,
would have to run without stopping
for 47o,OOO,O0O years in order to trav-
erse this distance. II light really
travels 1S7,50O miles second, a ray
from the north star would be thirty
six years in reaching the earth.-New
York Press.
queer English Laws.
"No statute law of England ever can
be obsolete" legal journal says.
"Once enacted, it continues in bindingI
force until repealed"
If such be really the case, there
ought to be some lively times ahead
for several classes of the community.
For instance, what will builders have
to say to the act which penalties any
person who erects house without at
taching to it at least four acres of
land? This was one Of good Queen
Bess'" laws, and it has most certainly
never been repealed.
By another unrepealed statute, which
dates back to the first year of King
James l., it is enacted that not more
than penny may be charged for a
quart of the best old ale nor more than
halfpenny for a like quantity of
small beer. The penalty for each in
fraction of the act is 20 shiIlings, so
that if it were rigidly enforced it
would not need, apparently, a licensing
bill to- ruin the brewers. Then, again.
