START OF POSTAL SERVICE
First Attempt at System Began In
England as Far Back ~
the Year 1895.

How many Of us know that the
post Office began to exist In the year
1885! Special messengers and the
common carrier we're till then the
only means of communication.
After that date horse post car
ried letters along the great roads into
the different parts Of England, those
who lived near these roads hurrying
out at the sound OF the postmans
horn. And the remote byways were
not neglected.
II one desired to send a letter to
some remote town in Yorkshire one
went to Ludgate, then to the Bell Sow
age in, close by, and there intrusted
it to the carrier for the country In
question. The messenger from Lon
don would not penetrate into byways.
Each country had its system OF foot
posts, which linked the outlying dis
tricts with its chief towns and with
the great high roads. The London
courier, pressing on to his terminus,
was relieved of packets for remote
regions by the local postman, who,
in turn, passed them on from hand to
| hand to their destination. In some
| what similar fashion, though less reg
ularly and smoothly, letters inland
were carried over the long and tedi
GUS journey to the hands for which
they were laboriously indited.

HER PREMoN,rIoN OF DEATH
Woman to Live Ever In Fear Of
impending Disaster.

A most touching account of the
premonition of coming trouble which
she experienced before the tragic
drowning OF her children at Paris, was
given by Isadora Duncan, the dancer,
whose poetic interpretations charmed
the people OF two continents.
Two months before the unhappy &C.
cident, the bereaved woman was con-
tinuously haunted with visions OF
death. Consulting her physician, she
was assured that she was suffering
from nerves" When playing in Rus
STA shortly afterward, SO strong was
her conviction, one night, that her
own death was imminent, that she left
q letter containing her last words"
on her dressing table, before going
onto the stage. Again one night on
the train she seemed to hear Chopin's
Funeral March all night long. At the
same time she seemed to see a vision
which produced 80 vivid an impression
that on the stage next evening, en-
tirely without rehearsal, she repro
duced 1t In motion, reducing her audi
ence to tears. 'All through my per-
formance, Miss Duncan says: Il felt
as though l were marching to my
grave through an Icy wind, and after
ward with a melody of resurrection, =
sort OF ecstacy that was not earthly"
The very day of the terrible acct
dent, the mother had packed her little
ones. who had accompanied her with
their nurse to Paris, for little outing,
where their lodgings were, as she was
to remain in Paris for the rest Of the
day; and in saying goodbye she play
fully kissed the lips of one OF her
children through the glass. Contact
with the cold pane struck a chill to
the mothers heart and strange fore.
boding overcame her as the motor
whizzed out Of sight. A few minutes
later the children we're hurled from
the overturned car into the Seine.

NAMES THAT REALLY SUITED
Child Found No Trick at All to Alter
the Coenomens Of Her
Two Pets.

When little Dorothy's papa's friend
presented to little Dorothy, on her
birthday, two tiny, aristocratic, white,
fluffy balls of angora kittens, she
named them on the spot Duke and
Duchess. Time passed and the kit
tens grew into cats and then there
came an event. Duke became the
mother of four new kittens.
"This will never do. my DEAR" said
little Dorothy's mamma. you must
find other names for your cats. What
will you call them?"
Little Dorothy did not answer at
once. Instead she pondered over the
matter all day. Just before bedtime
she went to her mother with the air OF
one whose mind has been relieved OF
great weight.
Il know what I'll call them
mamma" she said. Its quite simple
I'll call the one that first named Duke
the mother-cat-I'll call Marmaduke
and I'll call the one l first named
Duchess-the papa-cat-Ill call hin

SALT OF VITAL IMPORTANCE
Cattle Should Be Given Sufficient
Quantity In Accessible Place
Essential In Fattenino.

Common sense and many expert
iments teach that the proper way to
salt cattle is to provide it in sufficient
quantity and make it accessible to
them at all times. Salt should be
placed in at least two different points
where. the cattle run, and they should
be allowed to get it whenever they
want 1t. An animal will eat no more
than is absolutely necessary in this
way. While II salt Is given at infre-
auent intervals, cattle, and particular
u fattening steers, are apt to eat
much more than Is good for them
Salt lie an important factor In prepar
ing cattle for market.

New York's underground population
is sufficient to make city Of consid-

the best obtainable statistics about
20, 600 persons in New York City spend
their entire working hours beneath

Al the suggestion of Mayor Marx,

board and the police commissioners

several local hospitals 10 formulate a
plan for building city additions TO the
institutions, instead OF erecting a
S600,O00 municipal hospital. The
plan will then be submitted 10 the

mates. II is proposed 10 care for city
patients In these additions.
Joseph s. Stringham. director OF

He was supported by DR.. J. b. Ken

mission. and Commissioner Croul.
The other hospitals whose directors
have met with those OF Harper are

Detroit General. The poor commits
sion has asked for 100000 to build
municipal hospital and this money,
II allowed will be used to build city
additions TO the hospitals named.
II was generally admitted that the
city is badly in need Of increased
hospital facilities.
Water Commissioner John Gillespie
accused the hospitals OF wasting
water simply because they did not
have to pay for IL. The water board
will inquire as to the charge made TO
the hospitals of other cities before
taking any action in the matter.
Commissioner Croul again suggest
ed TO the mayor that the Trumbull
ave- line be extended to Forrest. Civ.
ing that section Of the city complete

would be glad to have the extension
made IL it does not give the ID. L. II

Corporation Counsel Lawson said
that the Grand Trunk ran a plug train
from West Detroit to Milwaukee
Junction daily prior to 1905. He sug.
|gested that the mayor instruct his
office to communicate with the Grand
Trunk with view to having the ser
vice restored. An attempt Will also
be made 10 have plug operate on

BACKYARD SWINGS.

A large tree with a spreading limb
twenty or twenty-five feet above the
ground makes the ideal support for
q swing, but In case there isn't a tree
at hand, 1t is an easy matter for a boy
to put up a substantial framework
such as is shown in Fig. 2, from which
to suspend 1t. Such a framework as
this should be built alongside Of a
fence or shed, so one of the side up
rights "a, Fig. p can be spiked Sc
curely to 1t. Then 1t is necessary to
brace only the opposite upright (B).
Two-by-four-inch stuff is heavy enough
for the uprights, and of course the
longer you can get them the longer
the sweep of the swing will be.
Before putting up the uprights, the
top plate Co should be cut and spiked
to their ends. The ropes for the
swing should also be fastened to the
plate, so as to save the necessity Of
climbing later, when the framework
is in place, to do it. 1t is we'll enough
to simply bore two holes through the
plate, of the size of the rope to be
used, and then after slipping the ends
of the rope through. to knot them as

Tne Camp on the Beach.

Sunset Of the day that had dawned
so strangely and wonderfully for
those two wayfarers of earth, James
and Agatha, fell on a little camp
neal the spit Of coast-land toward
which they had struggled. The point
lifted itself abruptly into a rocky
bank which curved in and out, yield
ing to the b~esieging waves. Just
here had been formed a little sandy
cove partly protected by the beetling
cliff. At the top was verdure in abun-
dance. Vines hung down over the
face Of the wall, coarse grasses and
underbrush grew to its very edge, and
sharp-pointed fir trees etched them
selves against the clear blue of the
rky. Below, the white sand formed
a sickle-shaped beach, bordered by
the rocky wall, with it's sharp point
dipping far out TO sea. High up on
the sand a small rowboat was beach
ed. There was no path visible up
from the single. but 1t was evident
that the ascent would be easy enough.
Nevertheless, the campers did not
attempt 1t. Instead, they had made
a fire Of driftwood on the sand out
