Keeping H is Balance. There 4a a story told among the Tar • tars, which has a moral for the civilized men of the present day. It is to this effect; Robo, cousin of the Great Mo *□l. was condemned to death for par ttoipation in a rebellion. The most ■kllful swordsman in the empire was provided for the execution, and tfce Great Mogul and his court were pres ent as spectators. The thin, keen blade flashed in the sanlight and desc ended upon the bar neck of Robo, who stood upright up to receive the stroke. The executor's work w as so deftly, j done that though the head was severed not a vital organ was disturbed. Robo remained standing. "What, Robo, art thou not be headed?" exclaimed the Great Mogul. "My lord, I am," replied Robo, "stub as long as I keep my balance right, my head will not fall off." TheGreatMogul was placated,a band" age was put on Robo's neck, and he reoovered. He afterwards become a loyal subjeot and was made Cashier of the Empire, because, as the Great Mognl remarked— "Ha knows that if he keeps his bal ance right,hls head will not come off."

America leads, with adout 2,- 500,000,000, and England follows with 700,000,000. Japan, which established a postal service only ten years ago, now mails annually 95,000,000 letters. Post age stamps are of a far more recent origia than many people imagine. Great Britain was the first country lo issue them, and in 1840 a prepaid en velope made its appearance, designed by W.Musready. Prepaid letter sheets were issued about the same time,there being two denominations, one penny and two penny. Before that time pos tage was prepaid at the poatoftice, or what was even more common, collected upon delivery. Now almost every oountry in the civilized world has adopted this method of prepaying post age. Strange as it may appear, Brazil, in 1843, was the first nation to follow Great Britain's example. It was not until 1847 thattheUuited States began to use postage stamps,but several years prior lo that time the postmasters at New York, St. Louis, Baltimore, New Haven, Piovidence and Brattho >ro had issued stamps for their own convenience. Bis Favorite. "A lover for the animal kingdom is common to everybody," said a Sunday school talker. "Some people love birds, others like dogs, horses, goats, etc., and it is quite proper that they should do so. 1 suppose every little boy aud girl here loves some dumb creature belter than all others. Don't you my little friends?" All baods went up. "That's right, and I am glad to see It. It shows that you have hearts foil of love for the poor creatures who have not been blessed with reason and other precions gifts like yourselves. Now,to illustrate a point, 1 am going to ask some little boy to tell me what his favorite is among the domestic animals. Ah, thanks. This little Itoy shall an swer. What do yon like best, my little man. Speak up loud, so that all may bear yoa." Boy (lo tones that made the windows rattle and put the audience in an up roar)—^"Roast Chicken!" "No," said the pork butcher, "I am not in the habit of swearing, but when that boy come in and stole a string o* grapes, I could not help exclaiming "dog-gone." ipEABODY HOTEL, 9th St.South of Chestnut, PHILADELPHIA.

Less speedily fatal, but not less cer tainly so, Is the vitiation of the Mood of which the first symptoms are Pimples, Sties, Hoi Is, and Cut aneous Erup tions.
