New York Wiping Out Evils.
Into the homes of the people light
and air have penetrated, and they
have acquired legal claims. The first
census taken undtir the new tenement
house law found 361,000 dark and air
less rooms In houses unfit to live In,
half of them without any windows at
all. There are still more than sixty
thousand wlndowless rooms left in
Greater New York; but they are go
ing. When the last of them is gone
we shall bo able to fight tuberculosis,
and win. The dark halls have been
lighted. Life in the tenements has
been made measureably endurable and
safe. Not In the ten years since the
new law was passed has a human life
been lost by fire In any of the hundred
and odd thousand houses, for lack of
means of escape or other faults of con
struction. In the ten years preceding
1894, 256 persons perished in tene
ment house fires, not counting the
firemen who died in efforts to save
them. Jacob A. Rlls, in Century.
Vogue of Postage Stamps.
Stamps of various kinds have been
used and for various purpose, but as
suming that you mean postage stamps,
they were first UBed in England with
the Introduction of cheap postage in
1840. They were Introduced lu Rub
sla in 1845, In Switzerland In 1846 and
in the United States by act of con
gress March 3, 1847, the first Issued
being 5-cent stamp bearing the head
of Franklin and a 10-cent one with a
portrait of Washington. These stamps
are now rare and valuable. The re
duction of postage rates in 1851 gave
us a new set of stamps of 1, 3 and 12
cent denominations and other changes
were made later as rates of postage
changed.

Although department officials ar
