wor~r n postajase vice.

The distinction of first appointing q
woman postmaster does not belong to
America, nor is the employment q
ome in the postal service a new
idea. AS early as f54s a woman post
master was appointed to look after
the mails of Braine lie Comte. an I'M
portant town of France. In the try
ing times of the Thirty Years Wa
the principal Office in the postal sery'
ice of Europe was held by a woman
Alexandrine de Rue. From 1879 tt
1646 she was in charge of the mails
of the German empire, the Neither
lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She
was known as a master general Of
the mails. In America, Elizabeth
Harvey was the first to hold a place
in the postal department. She hat
charge of the letters in Portsmouth
N. H., in the beginning Of the seven
teenth century. A half century after

of the post Office in Salem, Mass.

oriuin Of the LOVING Cup.

Our modern loving cup doubtless Is
derived from the cup used in a queer
custom which had its birth amidst the
gallantry of the middle ages. The
guests were placed two and two, man
and woman together, and they drank
from the same cup, and ate from the
same dish, which was called "eating
in the same porringer." In families
the same goblet served for all. Saint
Berlanda's daughter washed her ia
theirs goblet before drinking from it,
on the p~retense that he was leprous,
which so exasperated the saint that
he disinherited his daughter.-Nation

advanced to the broom manufactu-
