ABOUT POSTAL CAULS.
There are Eight Thousand Varieties
in the World.
It seems almost incredible that
there should be tight thousand va¬
rieties of postal cards, and that is
-he extent claimed for a collection.
These, however, include various
issues of the same nation and de¬
nomination, and also cards for spe¬
cial occasions.
Postal cards have been in circu¬
lation a little less than twenty-five
years. The idea originated with
Dr. Emanuel Harmann, a profes¬
sor of national economy at the Im¬
perial Academy of Wiener, in
Neusftadt, Lower Austria. His
ideas, under the head of “New
Means of Correspondence by Post, ’ ’
vvere published and attracted the
attention of the government of¬
ficials. The director general of
posts took up the idea and suc¬
ceeded in having an issue of pos¬
tal cards put in circulation in 1869.
The original name given to them
was the “correspomAez karte," and
j this has been retained ever- since.
This new move on the parts, of
Austria quickly' excited
countries to adopt a similar mefHvy
of correspondence, and before the
close of 1870 1 early all the
European countries were using
cards.
Germany was really the second
country to employ them, and a
special series was issued to the sol¬
diers engaged in the Franco-Ger¬
man war. These were called the
field-post correspondence cards,
and were sold unstamped to the
soldiers at the rate of about five
fora half-penny. The soldiers had
the privilege of using them with¬
out paying postage.
Another series was issued for
civilians. These had a place left
for a stamp, and the writer had to
affix a German postage stamp to
the card before posting. The field
post cards are now rare, the used
ones being scarcer than the unused
ones.
Another card of equal rarity,
and also a reminder of the same
war, is the balloon post card, is¬
sued by France during the siege
of Paris. The cards were sent up
from Paris in balloons, and the
mail bags were thrown off into the
surrounding country, where there
was the least possible opportunity
of their capture by the enemy.
They were smaller than the post
card now in use, and were covered
with warlike expressions as “Paris
defies the enemy!” “Glory and j
| J conquest signify crimes, defeat j
signifies bate and a desire for re
i venge.” “Only one war is j u
and right—that for independency'- -

the Other going through the fleshy

A Question of Diet
W hy do not men live longer in
these modern days of ours is a
question that ought to arrest the
attention and study of every
thoughtful individual, It un
doubtedly is a fact that the life of
the average man extends over the
brief span of about thirty-five
years. To be an octogenarian is
to become conspicuous for long life
and vitality.
Such a state of affairs is a con¬
tradiction of the possibilities of
human existence. According to
the statements of authorities Oil
the subject of human longevity,
man should live 150 to 200 years.
The human machine, built with all
the wonderful precision and sup¬
plied with all its forces and re¬
sources, ought not to exhaust itself
after the duration of a paltry thirty,
forty, or even seventy years of
usefulness.
Two words explain the physical
nature of our existence and in
great measure account for its start¬
ling brevity—waste and blood. A
man is no older than his arteries is
another way of saying that the
quality and puaiti'dy of his blood
is the key to his strengiih^ - /The
human body was made to be Ted
and strengthened by certain foods.
Just as certain is it that certain
other foods interfere with the pro¬
cess of blood accumulation and
weaken the machinery of the body.
In regard to the kind of food we
should eat, Dr. DeLacy Evans, an
eminent English authority, co-aes
to the conclusion that, “more fruit
should be eaten, especially apples,
grapes and bananas, they being
rich in nutritive elements. Being
deficient in nitrogen, they are best
for elderly people, as they keep
the blood in better condition than
flesh. After the age of sixty, peo
pie should eat less beef and mut
.ton aud use more apples and nuts
of all kinds, the latter being rich
in many of the nutritious elements
of meat. Fish and poultry have
not the objectionable earth salts of
beef. ’ ’
After all, climate, work, even
the usual wear and tear of mental
and physical worry, are not the
controlling factors in lessening the
span of life. Proper food, less of
meat and vegetables in indiscrimi¬
nate quantities, which, instead of
producing strength, contribute de¬
posits of phosphate and carbonate
of lime, which serve to clog the
arteries and prevent the flow of
blood to the extremities. Plenty

exercise will mean better and lon

Man should count his years by

The waxing of the pipe end to
prevent it sticking to the lips orig¬
inated with the Dutch, and was
probably introduced about the year
1700. The cheaper pipes were not
waxed, but the tip of the stem was
merely steeped in a tankard of ale
a few minutes before using as a
precaution against lip sores.
In Mexico, where the language
of flowers is understood by all, the
orchidaeeae seem to compose near¬
ly the whole alphabet. Not an in¬
fant is baptized, not a marriage is
celebrated, no obsequies performed
at which the aid of these flowers
