Postage Stamps.The postage stamp first made its

appearance in 1839. Its Inventor was James Chalmers, a prin ter of Dundee, who died in 1853. England adopted the adhesive stamp in 1839, and issued the first stamps for the use of the public in 1840. A year la ter stamps were introduced into the United j States and Switzerland, and soon aft­erward made their appearance In < France, Belgium and Bavaria. »

Screwing up the Eyes.Disastrous to the beauty of a child’s

expression is the habit of screwing up the eyes. The trick points very plain­ly to defective vision and calls aloud for "a visit to an oculist. The visit must not be delayed, for ugly wrinkles around the eyes is the least evil of this defect, A short-sighted child Is severely handicapped when it begins in school life, and neglected myopia leads to serious eye trouble in later life. Properly prescribed spectacles are all th a t is required to end thia particular trouble.

Sometimes Well to Go Slow. iA good many people will feel a sen­

timent of sympathy for the hapless person who having hired an expert to work up his pedigree, found himself obliged to pay hush money to prevent the expert from telling what he had found. It is a wise child th a t knows its own father, according to the prov­erb; and apparently a still wiser one that doesn’t.

Fatal Electric Shocks.Electric workers know that a severe

shock received in one foot and passing out by the other is not likely to be serious, while if it passed out by the hand on the opposite side of the body It would kill instantly. This is be­cause in the former case the Current passes through no im portant organ, while in the la tter it finds the heart In its nath;________________

Superlatives In Advertising.Japanese advertisers believe In •

lavish use of superlatives. “The pa­per we sell,” runs the announcement In a Tokyo stationer’s w’indow, “is as solid as the hide of an elephant.” “Step inside!” is the invocation of a big multiple shop in the same city. “You will be welcomed as fondly as a ray of sunshine after a rainy day. Our assistants are as amiable as a father seeking a husband for a dower- less daughter. Goods are dispatched to customers’ houses with the rapidity of a shot from the cannon’s mouth.”

Unequal Natural Division.The Cordilleras, which form the

backbone of both the northern and southern continents, are relatively near the Pacific Ocean in Guatemala, and thus divide the country into two unequal drainage areas, of which the Arctic is much the greater. The Pa­cific slope, though comparatively nar­row, is exceptionally well watered and fertile between the altitudes of 1,000 and 5,000 feet, and is the most dense­ly settled part of the republic.

8pank-Power Motor.A W est Virginia schoolma’am has

Installed a small Isolated plant in an anteroom of the schoolhouse. It is necessarily a heating plant because it is an electric “spanker.” This en­gine delivers 5 s. b. p. s. (5 sharp blows per second). The lady engi­neer says th a t while the run is short it is long on efficiency. Central sta ­tions might adopt the “spanker,” says Power, as a means of building up a day load.

Waistcoat a Monarch's Fad.Historians tell us th a t Charles II. of

England made a resolution to change the fashion of his dress to one which he would never alter, and communi­cated this decision to his council in October, 1666. From a diary of that period we read: “This day the king begins to put on his vest, and I did see several persons of the house of lords and commons, too, great cour­tiers who are in it, being a long cos- sack close to the body, of black cloth and pinked with white silk under it.”
