GET UP RIGHT

Get up right in the morning.
Go to bed right at night. Start
with joy in your heart, hope in
the future, kindness in your
purpose.
If it is dark day never mind ;
you will tighten it up. If it is
a bright day you will add to the
brightness. Give a word of
cheer, a kindly greeting and a
warm handshake to your friends.
If your enemies look up pass
them by, forget and try to for
give.
If all of us would bear in mind
that happiness is from within
and not from without there
would be a wellspring of joy in
every heart, and the sun would
shine forever.

Definition of ncitx.n

In England the term "city' from
early times was usually Cbut not al
ways applied to a cathedral town.
and for several centuries it was under
stood to have a half legal meaning Of
AN important town which is or has
been an episcopal see." This sense,
however, never became fixed as a mat
ter Of law, and the title of city is now
occasionally conferred by royal author
ity on important boroughs that are
not episcopal sees. such as Leeds. In
Canada city is supposed to be mu-
nicipality of the highest class, vary
ing in character in the different prov
inces. In the United States the name
denotes municipality ranking higher
in population than a town, borough or
village, but In many states, especially
in the West, the name relates TO the
form Of government. and often, also.
the title Is used in anticipation.

Better Than POSTAGE stamps.

Several American firms with unus-
ually heavy mailings use postage
meter which, instead of affixing the
usual postage stamps on mail matter.
makes an impression In the upper
right-hand corner. The new postal
meter performs several tasks, such as
sealing, stamping, facing and counting
approximately ESQ pieces of mail mat
ter minute. The envelopes, unsealed
and unstamped, are placed In com
partment of the machine much in the
same manner as they would be placed
in box, the mechanism handling the
envelopes automatically from that
point. The stamping mechanism not
only makes an Impression on the en-
velopes, but also counts, the numbers
appearing in a descending serial on
top of the stamping meter. The meter
is SO made that its mechanism can
only be adjusted by the post Office au-
thorities, who set it for the number
OF impressions the. user has paid for.
When that number of impressions is
exhausted, the meter automatically
locks.
