Venus.

Venus is both a morning and evening
star because she always accompanies
the sun, never receding from him be-
yond certain limits. while the rest of
the planets. with the exception OF Mer-
curry, are seen at all possible angular
distances from the sun. When Venus
is to the west of the sun she rises be-
fore him and is morning star, but
when she is to the east of the sun she
rises after him and is an evening star.

Great Britain, it is said, can, with
out fear of contradiction, claim the
honor of having originated the post
mark. The first one, which was used
in London as long ago as 1860. was
a very simple affair, consisting of a
small circle divided into two parts.
In the top portion were two letters
indicating the month. while in the
lower half the day of the month was
shown. No endeavor was made to de-
note the year. and It Is only by the
dates of the letters on which the mark
is impressed that it Is possible TO fix
the date of its use.-London Standard.
