FRANKING MAIL MATTER.
At One Time Soldiers In This Country
Enioyed the PRIVILEGE,

The postotfice was first established
for the principal and in some countries
for the exclusive purpose of carrying
official correspondence by mail. Later
in France, Great Britain and the
United States because of the great ex
pansion and commercialization of the
postal system the free carriage OF mail
matter came to be regarded us privi-
lege and this privilege was claimed by
persons in official position.
In England the house of commons
claimed the privilege as early as 1860.
1t was abolished in Great Britain.
however, by the passage Of Rowland's
cheap postage measure in 1889. In the
United States the first appearance of
the franking privilege is traceabe to
the action Of the Continental congress
assuming control Of the postoilice in
January, 17I6 1t is interesting to
learn that it was then granted TO all
private soldiers actually in service for
al! letters they might write or that
might be written to them.
In the early years of the United
States government the privilege was
granted widely, but it soon became
necessary to restrict it. An act of
March 3, 1915, limited the privilege to
the president, the vice president mem
bers and delegates in congress. the
third assistant postmaster general and
all postmasters. Other offices were di
rected TO keep quarterly accounts of

STAGE GHOSTS.
Kean's Contrivance to Make the Shade

of Banquo Realistic,

first resorted to illusion TO make a

Princess theater he manufactured a

Later on, when Mrs. Ann Radciiffe's
Romance of the Forest was staged
at Covent Garden theater, those re.
sponsible for its production arranged
that the spoolS in the piece should be
seen by the audience through a gauZc
of blush gray color, so that the too
corporal effect Of live actor might
be removed.
When the old playhouse in Drury

they had been used to was readopted
and Banquo's shade allowed to trot

been found possible to manufacture

GLOOMY CARLYLE.
His Pessimism and His Wonder at the
Optimism of Emerson.

Thomas Carlyles friendship with
Ralph Waldo Emerson IS matter Of

Ia his published letters that Carlyle

lean philosopher. Writing in 1873,
Norton says: LAS we We're sitting to-
gether just after my coming in this
afternoon, Carlyle spoke of Emerson.
There's great contrast between
Emerson and myself. He seems vera
content with life and takes much sat

hear him that We had no troubles there
