WORTH KNOWING

The blue sky which reveals itself
as the hemispherical vault of the
armament in the absence of clouds is
the far depths of the air sending back
to the observer some part of the solar
illumination which they receive. The
light thus returned to the eye is
blue simply because the particles
of the air are of such exceedingly
diminutive size that they can effec-
lively deal with only the smallest of
luminous vibrations-tha is, with the
blue" undulations. There are few
faint interminglings of the other col
ored rays in the blue of the sky, but
they are in such trifiing quantity
that the blue swallows them up.
The primal cause of American
break down has been attributed by a
famous physician to those absurd
feelings of hurry and care, to that
breathlessness and tension, that an
xiety of fea&lre and solicitude of re-
suits, revealing the lack of inner
harmony and ease, without which
good work cannot be accomplished.
The man who gives us the impress
sion of the old Scriptural motto, In
quietness and confidence shall be
your strength, Is none TOO COnUlOl
in these days.-Christian Herald.
Cutting the finger nails appears to
have been the most indispensable
service the ancient Roman barber
rendered to his patrons. Martial,
chatting fop who had tried to dodge
the barber by using plasters to re-
move the beard, asks triumphantly,
How are you going to manage
about your nails?' And the miser in
Plautus collects the parings of his
nails from the barber to make some
thing out of them, apparently never
dreaming that he could save money
by cutting them himself.
Tennyson loved Shakespeare. The
last thing the dying author did was
to call for a copy of Shakespeare and
read "Cymbeline Il looked at the
book at midnight" wrote his son,
when | was sitting by him lying
dead, and found he had opened on
one of the passages which he called
the tenderest in Shakespeare. We
could not part with this volume, but
buried a Shakespeare with him. We
had the book inclosed in a metal box
and laid by his side"

BIRTHD DAY OF THE POSTAGE SHAME

 When penny postage was adopted and put into effect on Jan. 10, 1840, the first postage; stamps were placed
 on sale. The English postal author ities were hostile both to the reduc-
 lion in postage and to the stamp
 scheme Despite the fact that H6r. Hill found himself without adequate support from the existing ministry or
 from that which succeeded it, his plan
 worked well, and during the commes- cial depression which followed its
 adoption the post office revenue went on increasing. Local postmasters in various parts of America took up the hostage stamp plan. and issued crude labels Of their own The use of ad- l hesive stamps was first authorized ir the. United States in 1s47, but it was not until 1856 that prepayment by stamps was made compulsory.
