England and Scotland have many caves,

England and Scotland have many caves,
though most of them are small. Along
the rocky coast of Scotland can be found
caverns formed by the waves, but in Peak
Cave, Derbyshire, England, there is much
if interest. One peculiar thing about the
English caves is the marvellous relics found
there, Peak Cave having furnished the
greater number. When first explored it
contained fossil remains of rhinoceroses,
lions, hyenas and other wild beasts now
found in parts of Asia and Africa. This
seems to indicate that England was once
tropical country. Stone axes, hammers
and other implements also were found,
showing that the people of that day lived
in caves. Peak Cave. is not very large
one, as it is only about mile in length
and 500 feet below the surface.
The deepest cave known in the world
is one found near Frederickshall, Norway,
it being 1900 feet. Think of it, almost
two miles deep! But it is worth the trip
down into its depths, for many of the Won
ders of nature are to be found there. How
ever, when it comes to real beauty and
interest there are no caves that can excel
our own.-Selected.

the palace of the soul.
You may draw tigers skin, not his bones;

keeping it shut.
A hut of reeds with mirth therein is bet

AMERICA HAS GREATEST CAVES

Caves are no longer the dwelling place
of man but they are still among the most
curious of natural wonders. They are so
dark and mysterious, and many of them
have such interesting histories, that our
curiosity concerning them is as keen as in
the days when they were the hiding places
of bandits and pirates.
The United States perhaps has more
unusual cave formations than any other
country. In the first place, we have the
largest one, as far as has been discovered.

Q:-Why do we use the expression
"apple pie order" when we mean that
things are exactly in their right place?
B. c.
A-Because every Saturday certain
Puritan dame, Hepzibah Merton, made
practice of baking two or three apple pies
which were to last her family through the
week. She placed them on the shelves in
her pantry, labelling each according to the
day of the week on which it was to be
used, and the pantry, thus arranged, was
said to be in apple pie order.

WHY POSTAGE STAMPS WERE
INTRODUCED

The oldest postage stamp is just eighty
year old, mere STRIPPING in this age of
longevity.
Many Jealous collector of stamps has
wished that his ancestors had had fore
sight enough to save specimens of all the
stamps in their time, for had he such COL
lection now he would be wealthy and
envied.
This does not mean that before 1841 there
was no such thing as postal system. The
sending of letters by post had been inaugu-
rated some centuries before. But prior
to 1S41 the sender of letter did not have
to afix a stamp to it nor pay any money
to have it forwarded.
1t was the recipients privilege to pay
the cost of postage or refuse to take the
letter, as he saw fit. The system in opera
ton before the introduction of postage
stamps was very much like the sending
of parcels by express collect.
Naturally it was bound to result in
widespread cheating of the Government.
In fact, under the old system the opera
ton of postal department by govern
ment was so Improbable that even with
a charge of as much as twenty-five cents
for a domestic letter the Government was
losing money.
A common method for cheating the Gov
ernment was for the sender and the
recipient of letters to arrange beforehand
a method by which the latter would know
the contents of the message without hav
ing to pay the cost of the postage.
1t was the discovery of such trick that
led Sir Rowland Hill, an Englishman, to
whom credit for the introduction of the
postage stamp belongs, to agitate for the
paying of the cost of postage my the
sender.
While in country tavern Sir Rowland
heard an alteration between postman
and a servant girl. The postman had
brought her letter. After carefully
scrutinizing the outside of the envelope
she had returned the letter to the carrier,
sadly announcing that she was unable to
pay the necessary shilling.
Sir Rowland gallantly paid the cost and
was surprised to see instead of look of
appreciation and gladness in the girls
face undoubted agitation. She delayed
opening the letter, until finally his sus-
picions were aroused. Examination re-
vealed that the letter contained only
blank sheet of paper; the message itself
was family written in cipher on the out
side of the envelope.
Indignant at such fraud Sir Rowland ex-
posed the practice in 1887 in phamphlet
entitled "Post Office Reform" wherein he
declared for the pay-as-you-send system
was the only fair and practical one.
Inaugurated in 1S41, its adoption quickly
became universal.-Ex.
