In 1658, early in the reign of Louis XIV, M. de Velayer established a pri vate penny post Boxes were set up at the street corners for the reception of letters. Onices were opened in various quarters of Paris; collections were made once a day from the street boxes, followed many hours later by a single delivery, and thus the first post office in the world was established. M. de Velayer was so greatly encouraged by the success of his enterprise that in order to develop it still further he printed certain forms of billets or notes which were intended to cover all the ordinary requirements of business in great towns. These forms contained blanks which were Intended to be filled "up by the pea with such special mat ter as might be necessary to complete the writer's object. The Idea at once became popular, and the printed forms accompanied th<? ??xnansion of the pos tal service throughout the larger cities of France, and it was many years be fore they fell into disuse. Admiral Snip. ' A little tailor's apprentice once ran ^^^way^from^hl^maste the Isle of Wright, and took refuge on board of a man of war, cruising near the island. Those were stirring times, somewhat over 20? -?ears ago, and the little ex-j-pprentlce was soon treated to a battle at sea. Taking a deep interest in the fighting and asking many questions, he was told that the battle must last till the white" flag at the enemy's mast head was struck. Up the rigging of his own vessel crept Tom, the runaway. The ships were then in close conflict. He made his way to that of the enemy, and shrouded by the smoke from toe guns, tore down the white flag and returned triumph antly to the deck. . The English sailors shouted and cheered, and of course he was called "Admiral Snip," in memory of his first trade; but what did that matter since the brave lad lived to become a real admiral, and .died Sir Thomas Hopson.

There is a deal of discussion among hunters after big game in the moun tains concerning the sort of fathers and husbands grizzily bears make. The con sensus of opinion seems to be that bruin is an unfaithful, heartless spouse and a contemptible father. He will help Mme. Bruin seek a cave or an opening ra_ the rocks or mountain side, where their cubs may be born, and he will carry a dainty morsel, such as a sheep, a calf or part of a cow's carcass, there for his mate's food. However, a few days after the cubs are born in the family circle he will leave home, prob ably never having any further ac quaintance with his spouse and her off spring. Thereafter Mme. Bruin must make her own way and provide for her cubs. Unlike the black bear, which Is a jolly, fun-loving father that rolls and .frolics with his baby children, the male grizzly will have nothing to do with the cubs. Mme. Grizzly and her children are companions for two summers and they hibernate rolled together in a ball of fur for about 100 days, during the coldest lays of winter. The mother bear and her young trav el far and wide, moving principally at nipja. Kit Carson said that the wide range of a family of healthy grizzlies In a summer season is almost incalculable. He had reason to know of a mother grizzly and her two cubs that once left their hibernating cave among the southern spurs of the Rocky Mountains in New Mexico one spring in the for ties, crossed the Colorado and Wyom ing, were seen in the mountains in Montana, and were back in New Mexico again for another winter before the fol lowing October.-Outing. Teaching Kittens to Fight. I thought every one knew? that cats teac-i their kittens all the ways of cat life. It was my first lesson in natural history. In my boyhood days a fall con fined me to the house. At the foot of my trundle bed a litter of kittens in a basket afforded me amusement I no ticed the thin voice that gradually de veloped into the strong mew of the old cat, and I know the mother was con tinually giving a lesson in cat language. When the kittens wer? old enough to leave the basket I was surprised to see the old cat playing with them. Pussy, as we called her, was a staid old cat, and I did not know that she had ahy play in her. I soon noticed that she played with each kitten. She had no favorites. After a while it dawned on me that Pussy was teaching her kit tens how to fight. The arched back and spiteful spitting were soon acquired by the kittens, and they practised tO?fcth er. Th? mother gradually dropped out of the gome when the young ones took it up. Pussy's family was reduct d to one kitten. A? this kitten had no mates to practise with, the old cat gave it lessons again in self-defence and ag gression. She taught the kitten how to deal with a mouse. She would drop a live mouse near the kitten and then stalk it when it attempted to sscape. The kitten looked on several days and then tried to imitate the old cat. The mouse nearly escaped. Pussy caught it, just in time, and let the kitten try again. This time the kitten succeeded in catching Uie mouse. The old cat of ten brought, in a mouse, but it was a long time before she would allow the kitten to deal with" it alono. When the kitten's education was completed, Pus sy gav^ it to understand that it must strike out for itself. When the kitten persisted in following its mother, cry ing for its natural food, the old cat would turn and box its ears soundly. Very like a human mother when she boxes the ears of thc child for over t>.asing.-Forest and Stream. King Frost. It was very warm down in the earth, and the little violets were longing to i push their way up to where they could see the blue sky and the sun shining. But the older violets bade them wait, J and spoke to them of the bitterly cold nights, when cruel King Frost held his j revels abroad, and how when he passeu his icy breath made the flowers shrink in fear, few feeling his touch without paying the penalty of death; and they drew such pictures of the? cruel king that the baby, violets huddled up to gether and crept closer into the shelter of their Mother Root. But one violet scoffed at their fears, and every day she put. out all her strength in her efforts to grow big and strong enough to face the world, till at last one day she pushed her way up. She was very tired with thc exer'ion, the strong light hurting her little yel low eye after the darkness underground and she was very glad to cre'p under the largest leaf she could see.. "You arc very early," said the leaf. "I am afraid you are in too great a hurry, for it is bitterly cold when the White King go?s past." "Always that silly tale about the king," thought the violet pettishly. The first few days were warm and bright, and the violet grew a beautiful deep blue, the sun smiled upon her and the wind fanned her gently when the sun's rays grew too warm, and in the mornings the dew brought her offerings of lovely sparkling diamonds. She was very happy, and thought how silly the other violets were to have been fright ened by a foolisa story; so she called down to them, but could not make them hear, for they were so warm and cozy they had all fallen fast asleep. One evening the leaves whispered to her that King Frost would be abroad thnt night, and she must keep well ojj^ would kill her. But she tossed her head and said she didn't believe In that king. She had watched for him before, and he never came. And she refused to bend her stem as the leaves wished, and at last they left her alone and settleU themselves to sleep. It was very lonely, and the air grew :older and colder, and there was a PTeat stillness, only broken by the rus tle of the sleeping leaves and the whispering of the -rees overhead. And presently the moon rose slowly, and the violet saw the ground was all sprinkled with powdered diamonds. And she was frightened and very cold and tried to shrink back under the leaves, but found she could not, for tho king's slaves had come in the dark and coated her stem with fine diamond pow der, and 9he could not bend it. And a tear rose in her little golden eye, and as it rolled down it was frozen into a hard stone, which cut her tender petals and hurt her. And then there was a great hush, and the trees and plants bowed their heads, for the king was in sight. And he came in great state, for it was his last visit this season. First came his soldiers and executioners, in uniforms of gray-blue, an Icy shade that made one shiver and think of the gleam of steel. And then came the courtiers in green-silver, like moon beams on the shining ice; and the king's bodyguard wore deepest blue, and in the midst came the king himself, all robed in white, with trimmings of hoar frost lace, such as he sometimes leaves on our windows to show us he has passed, and he wore a crown ol icicles that sparkled with many colors as he walked. And children scattered diamond dust before him, which fell in loveliness and hld the cruel work o? the executioners. The poor little violet shivered, and hoped the king would not notice her for no one else had seen her, but as he passed he looked and frowned in anger at her presumption, and the vio let thought her last hour had come, and prayed for mercy, and looked so pleading with the glittering tear in her eye that the king was touched. But he looked stern, and told her the penalty for her presumption in watching him, and not bowing down as the other plants was death; but as she was so young and fair he would spare her, and would deprive her of her lovely color instead. And he bade her look in his eyes, and, *as she looked his eyes grew kind and soft, instead and he whispered to her that she had saved him from a J life he hated. For he was doomed to make others suffer till he found a flow er brave enough to watch for his com ing, and now he would be able to go back to Fairyland and another king would reign In his stead. And then he kissed her softly and left her. Next morning, when the leaves awoke, they found a white violet, so lovely am' pure they thought it must be a fairy spirit, and each day the vio let grew less willful and more thought ful for the other plants, till they came to bless her as a real fairy spirit. But she could never forget the passing ol the great White King, for he had taken her heart as well as her color, and that is the reason of the wistful IOOK that may be seen in white violets to this day.-Chicago Record-Herald.

Some Curious Fans. An exhibition of ancient fans and watches has been drawing many vis itors to the Hungarion ministry in Vi enna. Thc exhibits, lent for the oc casion, arc placed, on account of Vieir value, in glass cases, and a card plainly written desoribes each ob ject, giving thc name of its owner and its date. The Archduchess Maria Theresa has lent a superb collection of painted fans. The wife cf tho Spanish ambassador, Mme. de Villa Urretia, lent 30 fans of . different epochs, from thc time of Louis XIV. to tho Second Empire. In this col' lection was included one of the few miniature fans in the exhibition. Parchment, serpent and swan skins are used for fan painting. The dates of the different fans can be judged by their mountings. In thc older Louis XIV. ians tne ivory sticks reach to tho top, are joined by ribbon, and covered with paintings. The fan sticks of Louis XV. are very wide, loosely set in and open freely out.

It has been said that "woman has only herself to blamo or thank for a man's attitude toward her, and wheth er his manner be deferential or care less he has taken his cue from heh" This is putting it o bit too graceful, possibly, and yet, since the days of Mother Eve, unjust as the old stcry and its consequences may appear to us, woman has had to look well to j her ways lest she be misjudged and condemned for man's shortcomings.

Beauty Hints. Never forget your daily exercise, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, a brisk walk fer a couple of miles In the fresh morning air or a four or five mile bicycle ride ls one of the first essentials. Plain, nourishing food and abun dance of good, ripe fruit is another. Fruit is best eatea in the morning. Bananas are easy of digestion ?to some and very nutritious; grapes are nourishing and fattening; apples are especially good for brain workers, and oranges arc of great benefit to peo plo afflicted with rheumatism. Have plenty of fresh air in your living and sleeping rooms. Leave your bedroom window open from top several inches every night, no mat ter how cold the weather. Have your bed covering warm and light. On getting up in tho morning ar range your bedding and bed so that they may be thoroughly aired. Leave the window open in your bedroom for the greater part cf the day. In your living room ventilation is also nec essary, and sunshine, too. Poor ventilation is accountable for much ugliness, and in children, de formity. Fresh air and sunshine are as essential to a human being as they are to a plant. Avoid tight clothing. Tight cloth ing disturbs the circulation ot the blood and is the cause of red noses, enlarged veins, flushing, etc. Eight hours' sleep is absolutely re quired to rest the brain. Dainty Underclothing. Underclothing becomes continuous ly more luxurious and costly. The finest recent productions make a point cf avoiding any seams. Like the Princess in the fairy tale who could not sleep, though she had many mattresses, because she "felt a lump," which proved to be a single pea un der the lowest one, so the dainty and fragile society dame cannot be at ease if there be in her batiste or silk sarments the most delicately worked seam imaginable. The latest notion is to replace the seams by narrow lines of that fine openwork embroid ery which is called a jour. All the pieces which compose a garment are united by sewing on to each edge' the most minute line of openwork inser tion of this description. The lace which trims tue cache-corset, the rhemise, and other' articles is also fixe? on by the same means. Open work narrow embroidery "a jour," as abov? fl?scribed\ ls ais? used very much for those iiidoor dresses, or n?glig?es, which .aro not exactly iii gowns, and still less dressing gowns.

The woman is Miss Lucy Read, and sho was born in this town, October . 25, 1827. At the age of five years an attack Of scarlet f?ver lett fclr total ly deaf, and the loss bf speech soon fellowed; When ?boUt t?n years old the second misfortune cam? as th? result of an accident. At the ago of 14 Miss Read was taken to Boston nd. placed in charge of Dr. Howe, a noted instructor of the deaf and blind, being a companion and classmate of Laura Bridgeman, but at the end of six months she WAS obliged to return home, owing to fail ing health, thought by her physician and family to be largely due to home sickness, and no further efforts were made to give her educational advan tages. With thc aid of a sister, however, she learned to sew and knit, and dur ing the past 65 years has made hun dreds of pairs of socks and other ar ticles of knit work, aside from various articles of wearing apparel, with a neatness and deftness unexcelled by those who are possessed of all their faculties. The piecing of bed quilts is one c? her favorite occupations, and in be ginning the work she tears the cloth into strips of the required width fer the different pieces that go to make up the blocks, after which she pins them together and cuts them out tc a pattern which she devises and pre pares entirely without assistance. In making the pp items Miss Read trims them to the desired shape by the aid of her lips, and assorts the different colored blocks of cloth by the sense cf taste or smell, and rare ly, if ever, makes a mistake. She al so selects her own thread as to col or and size for tho particular worh in hand, and strangest of all, threads in her own needle with her tongue. Miss Read's favorito color is green, but she prefers any bright color tc the darker and duller shades, partie ularly in flowers. She is fend of pic tures and jewelry, but finds her chiei delight in the companionship of chi! dren, and can be seen in the after noons waiting in front of the familj homo for thc dismissal of school. ;A form of fancy work that has at tracted much attention to the unfor t?nate woman is her skill in covering cigar boxes with plush, lining then handsomt'y, and so completing then as to compare favorably witu the or dinary line of similar goods.
