Wticre and How Pansies Grow Best,
Give pansiesj if possible, a place
where they will be sheltered from
the hot afternoon sun. Cut off the
old flowers as they fade and keep
the ground mellow and free from
weeds. They will bloom well until
the hot days of midsummer. Then
their - flowers will be small, and
there will /rot be many of them. It
is a good plan to cut the old plants
back at that time and allow them to
v renew themselves for autumn.—La

PENNY POSTAGE
The Incident Thdl Led to Its Estab
lishment In England.
Many years ago, when Queen Vic
toria first began to reign, it cost nine-
pence to send a letter from one Eng
lish city to another. In those days the
postage was not paid by the sender
of the letter, as is now customary, but
by the receiver. So, of course, there
were many poor people who could not
afford to pay ninepenee when their
mail arrived, and, it often happened
that they were obliged to forfeit the
letters.
One day a man named Howland Hill
was riding on the outskirts of a city,
and he saw a postman bring a letter to
a young girl and demand ninepenee
for it. The girl took the letter, scru
tinized it carefully and then handed it
back to the man, saying she could not
afford to pay the postage. Thereupon
Rowland Hill, being a kind hearted
man, rode up and. insisted upon paying
it himself. When the postman had
gone, the girl confessed to her bene
factor that the letter was from her
lover, and to avoid paying ninepenee
on every letter he made certain marks
on the envelope which she alone could
decipher.
‘But,” said Rowland Hill, “don’t
you know you are doing something
very dishonest in thus cheating the
government?”
The girl admitted she did, but there
was no other way to ;do.
Hill rode away and meditated over
this little incident, and his farfamed
idea of “penny postage” was the re
sult. At first he was laughed at by
every one, but he fought bravely and
finally was rewarded by seeing his
idea in practice all over the land.—New
