Letters and POSTAGE Stamps.

opens the mail. eyes. See this letter
here with three one-cent stamps on it
and stamped 1 cent due? That's a
case in point. The writer of that let
ter thought that perhaps it weighed a
little over an ounce, little more than
would go for cents, and so he put on
a little more postage cent more
which he thought would cover it,when
the fact is that it required an addi-
tional two cent stamp. Of course you
know that letter postage is not frac-
tional, but that it goes in multiples of
two. If letter weighs ever so little
over an ounce it requires an additional
two cent stamp. But not everybody
seems to know this, and SO we some
times get letters like this one with a

pathetic ones had, indeed, such an in

Proof of His Generosity.

The teacher had a class in English
literature before her. The subject for
the day was Gray's 'Elegy." She had
asked the class to bring in questions
on the life of Gray. These questions
were to be deposited in a box which
was to be opened before the class and
each question read aloud. If no one
could answer it the one who contrib
uted 1t was to be called on for the an
swer.
The first slip drawn out contained
this:
"Give a proof of Gray's generosity"
The teacher thought of what a re-
cluse Gray had been and of how little
interest he had ever shown in his fell
lows, and she wondered how any one
could have received the impression
that he was generous.
Every one looked blank, and no one

A Very Large Lobby.

The lobby at Montpelier at this
session of the legislature is larger
and more active than ever before,
showing in the first place a greater
interest in what is done or may be
done and in the second place the nee

outside pressure. No one should
jump at the conclusion that the

The Arab Steed.

An Arab steed of pure breed would
probably be outpaced in a race by an
English thoroughbred, but in other re-
spects it outshines it's western rival.
It is so docile that it is treated by its
owner as one of the family, and it has
an iron constitution, for it sleeps out
at night without covering or shelter.
Nature protects the Arab horse with a
thick, furry coat, which is never
touched by brush or comb and which
falls off at the approach of spring,
when the body and legs, which had
been shaggy as those of a bear, again
resume their graceful beauty and glis-
