Daisy was her sister. She thought it all oyer, and then she climbed np in his lap. "Papa," she said, "I wish you would ask me if I love you or mamma best" "Very well,'' he returned. "Do you love mamma or me best?"

Revenge is sweet, but even to a tender hearted bit of humanity does not like to be too harsh. "You won't feel very, very bad if

toll you, will you?" she whispered. He promised that he wouldn't.

TBERE HAXJTB SATURDAY EVENING^ MAIL, MARCH 26, 1898.

The postmastmi were free from all public offices, from liability to quarter soldiers, and they received gazettes free of postage, "wherewith they advantage themselves in their common trade of selling drink, and they have their sin gle letters free to London."

The rates of postage in 1677 were comparatively low. A single letter —L e., a letter consisting of one sheet of paper only—could be suit for any distance np to 80 miles for twopenoe, and and beyond 80 miles for threepence. A letter weighing an ounoe coat eightpenoe for 80 miles and a shilling beyond.

The mails were dispatched from London about midnight on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and were due to arrive in London early on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. They were carried on horseback at the rate of five miles an hour, and they were liable to a detention of not more than half an hour at each postoffioe (stage) on the road. England was divided into six runnings, or roads—viz, west, Bristol, Chester north, Yarmouth and Kent, starting from Plymouth, Bristol, Chester, Edinburgh, Yarmouth and Dover respectively.—Notes and Queries.

Getting Rven With Him.

"Papa," said the little girl, "who do yon love best in the world?" Of course she thought she knew what he wou}fl reply, and he knew that she thought she knew it, says the Chicago Post. Consequently he decided to tease her. "Daisy," he replied.

Yes, revenge is sweet.

.. All He Got From the Suit. An author now both rioh and famous tells how he earned his first sixpence. His father had been for 27 years engaged in a suit in chancery and had just gained bis oause. The expenses of the suit, however, had swallowed up the entire estate, the residue being merely 8s. 6d. My father, he relates, ranged the 7 sixpences on our breakfast table. "My boy," said he, "see what oomee of going to law in Great Britain. Your mother has told you that

Well, then, look 1 That is all I get of it," and he pointed grimly.at the Bixpenoes. I opened wide my eyes, "All you get of the whole suit?" 1 echoed, with a puzzled air, oonvinoed that a suit in chancery was composed, as other suits are, of a coat, waistooat and trousers. Why, father, those are only the buttons I" it Was this deplorable joke that earned me my sixpenoe, for my father, laughing, tossed me one, and I rushed off like a dog pelted with a bone. —Strand Magazine.

XitwniMiM That May Be Economy. The question which still possesses vitality, "What beoomes of usedpinB?" might be supplanted by "What becomes of used visiting cards?"

Woman, who is notoriously penurious in many cases of domestio eoonomios, does not seem to have devised away of disposing of a matter that might be turned to some praotioal use.

Here is an idea that a charitable institntion in search of funds might appreciate. Let the woman in charge of some social affair arranged for charity beg, borrow—I was about to say steal— the contents of all the card trays in town. Sort the cards, putting Mrs. Van Alen's in one envelope and Mrs. de Peyster's in another. When Mrs. Van Alen goes to buy a book or calendar at the stationary bazaar, she is asked to buy her own pasteboards back. She is informed her envelope contains 50 of her cards, and it will cost her a oent for each. She is naturally delighted whe idea of purchasing her cards at perhaps half price, and the coffers of some hospital or ohurch may be the richer from the practical money making scheme MAUDE JAJSUBS CHILTON..

English people, it seems, eat more better than any other people on the face of the earth. It is partly through this that the British complexion is the purest in the world.

Those women who are "blessed" with an overabundance of flesh usually devote a good part of their lives to the study of the problem of "how to look graceful.". Quite a few crowd themselves into the average corset with more or less disappointing results, bnt a number—growing larger every day—seek a remedy in "Her Majesty's" Corset, and find it. "Her Majes y's" Corset is especially designed to meet the requirements of these stout folks In it they find comfort, and it so reduces the hips and abdomen as to make graceful the most ungainly women—and no injurious tight lacing is required to accomplish it
