The First Postage Stamp.

The black penny postage stamp of 1e4o, the first stamp ever issued, was distinctly unpopular and gave place to a red one after a years existence. Great Britain was the first country in the world to use postage stamps, and the English schoolboy of the period seems to have regarded them as nui+ sance rather than national benefit. Have you tried the stamps yet?" wrote one of them to his sister in the year 1S4O.

The oyster Shell.

Every one who has handled an oys- ter shell must have noticed the success sive layers overlapping each other. These are technically named shots, and each one marks a years growth, so that by counting them the age of the oyster can be determined. Up to the time of it's maturity-that is, when four years of age-the shots are regular and successive. but after that time they become irregular and are piled one upon another so that the shell becomes bulky and thickened. Fossil oysters have been seen of which each shell was nine inches thick, whence they may be guessed to be more than 300 years old
