Cruelty a Human Attribute.

Harry Campbell, in the Lancet London
A cruel person is one who exults in the
pain, mental or bodily. suffered by an
other. Cruelty has it's basis in anger (and
thus is related to the combative instincb,
though there is cold blooded form of
cruelty which may be enjoyed without
any obtrusive feeling OF anger.
Cruelty, implying as it does self con-
sciousness-the ability to realize the feel
ings of others is essentially a human
attribute. Children who impale frogs and
eviscerate flies cannot be said to be cruel,
for they know not what they do. Nor are
the lower animals cruel, seeing that they
are wholly unconscious of the sufferings
of others. Thus the charge Of cruelty
against the carnivora is unjust. These
animals generally destroy their victims
outright and in the rare cases (e. g., cat
and mouse), where they prolong the suf-
fering they have no knowledge of the
pain they are causing. When therefore.
we stigmatiZe the conduct of the cruel
man as brutal" we wrong the brutes
The animal which attacks another, and
In so doing causes pain, merely responds
to a blind, unthinking instinct: but man.
proud man, who looks before and after
is able to realize and take pleasure In
the pain he deliberately, and by subtle
means maybe, sets out to cause. 1t is
clearly absurd to speak of his conduct as
brutal Rather should we call IL devil
ish, the devil usually being credited with
a goodly share of intelligence. We must
cease to libel the brutes by designating
the basest acts of man as brutal AS a
matter of fact, they cannot be charged
with nonmoral conduct, seeing that they
are devoid of self consciousness

Forests Under Glass.

Most boys will remember the charac-
ter in the arabian Nights who held in
the palm of his hand a magical group
of tiny tents which grew until it shell
tered great army.
The work of the forestry commission
is scarcely less remarkable. In rows of
narrow beds sheltered by glass hand
fuls of seed are sown which will some
day grow into great forests, spreading
over thousands of square miles of
mountain, plain and valley says Boys
Life. The tiny sprouts spring up from
the seeds like fine grass. A single pane
of glass will cover thousands OF them
In the long beds beneath the for
ester's watchful eye millions of trees
are growing. After few months they
are transplanted and soon are strong
enough to live in the open air.
Later the little STRIPPING trees are
planted in favorable localities in all
parts of the country. A supply of
sprouts or baby trees sufficien: to cover
hundreds of square miles can be sent
by mail.

History Of the Stamp.
From the Kansas CITY Stal

From the Kansas City Star.
Brazil was the first country to take up
theAnew invention, which Sir Roland Hill
Kinderminster, England, induced the Eng
fish government to adopt. in its present
form, in 1S4t. Russia adopted the postage
stamp next in 1876; then switzerland, in
, 1886, and on March g. 1S47, the congress OF
the United States authorized the issue of
postage stamps In the form we now know
them.
Stamped envelopes were the form of
postage used first, and they We're used first
by NJ. de Valayer, who owned a private
post line in the city of Paris. Over CEN
fury later. In 175S, al. de Chamouset, also
! the owner of q private post, issued printed
postage slips to be attached to letters.
In Spain. in 17l6, and in Italy also,
stamped covers for mail matter were
tried; but it was not until 1910 that
stamps, as we know them now, were put
in use. The denominations in the United
States were at first a scent and a lo-cent
stamp, but reduction of rates In 1861 on
postage gave a new set of stamps, which
We're valued at !, 3. 5. 10 and IL cents,
respectively. ~
Other stamps OF different values were
added from time to time to meet the de-
| mands which continually were being met
by the postal department. A reduction
both foreign and domestic was constantly
taking place. F8
Postage In the United States was based
| f1rst on the zone system. Before 1S45 the
postal rate on letters varied from cents
for carrying a lettersa distance of 80 miles
to Is cents for carrying a letter over 400
| miles. In lSf5 reduction in the postage
| was made to cents for 800 miles or less,
and 10 cents for any distance above that.
| In ISL the rate was fixed at cents for
each half ounce and fraction thereof for
every 5000 miles and 6 cents for any
greater distance within the United States.
!! In 1888 the postage was reduced to cents
| for letter Weighing half ounce and
| less and provided its destination was not
over 5000 miles In 1885 congress decided
that 2 cents was sufficient to carry a let
| ter weighing an ounce and less to all
parts of the United States and Canada
| In the past 70 years, which is the length
of, time we have had the present form Of
| postage, there has been eight changes.
The last was a raise from 2 cents to 8
cents November g. 1917
