The high winds which blew last

Come Historical Stamps.

Many intensely interesting histori
cal events have been recorded in post
age stamps so that a large collection
of stamps often shows In a most stri
king manner how history was made
There is q period of French history
which Is particularly interesting iR
this way because the stamps issued al
that time so plainly show the changes
In the ruling power from monarchy tn
republic and back again.
On one French stamp you see MonS
Barrels head of Liberty and the words
Republic France" On the following
issue of stamps-those issued in 1S49
Louis Napoleon's head appears In.
stead of the Liberty, the words on
the stamp being still Republic
France" After that there was new
stamp, on which Louis Napoleon's
head still appeared, but the words
Republic France" were replaced by

Window Glass.

Utility is the mother of nearly all
decorative features. Windows were
first designed to give light. The his
tory Of glass shows that the useful
has taken decorative prominence. In
old colonial houses glass in small
panes was used probably because 1t
was cheap. The sash was divided by
small pieces of wood called mullions.
After many years glass came to be
used In large sizes, and of recent
years 1t has been the practice to have
but a single sheet, often In a very
large size Of plate glass. These are
permissible only where the view war
rants their use. The average house
or cottage is better without them, as
they suggest the show window OF
shop rather than a dwelling.

CHICKEN ROAST IN SCHOOL
Iowa Rural Teacher Makes School
house Center of Social Life
Of the District.

It Is as true as II Is strange that
IN Iowa many rural schols are so at
tractive that city boys are sent out
of the city to attend the rural school.
I know one country school in which
there are six children from city
schools. A chicken roast" Is the lat
est school attraction that 1 have
known. A teacher is making the
schoolhouse the center of social life
for the district. She does not like
the idea of having a dance in the
school, and she will not have kissing
fracases, 80 she plans various social
functions with stunts and games that
have abundance of life, that are new,
that are harmless. She does quite a
little along the line Of refreshments.
and every one takes q part In the
preparation as well as In disposing OF
the feast The greatest success she
has ever had was q chicken roast. 1t
was In the autumn, and was In the
school yard. 1t was a close approach
to a barbecue. Every man, woman
and child In the district was there.
Nothing else has ever aroused such
an interest in the Kile district.-Jour.
