It was in the year 1512 that a French architect made the sugges tion that houses in a certain section of Paris be numbered. The idea, however, whs a long time taking root, audi it was not until 1789 that the system became general, writes a London correspondent. In Berlin about a decade later an eccentric method of numbering the houses was adopted. They number ed them without reference to the streets. Thus a tenant's address would be described merely as, say. "10U0 ISerlin." The numbering of houses in Lon don, us above shown, is of compura lively recent date. In the later Stuart times, says Maeaulay, the houses were not numbered, and "there would indeed have been little advantage in numbering them, for of the coachmen, charmen, porters and errand boys of London a Very small proportion could read. It was necessary to use marks which the most ignorant could understand. The shops were therefore distin guished by painted or sculptured signs, which gave a very gay and grotesque aspect to the streets." Similar methods were adopted for identification of private houses In Lincoln's Inn Fields, for exam ple, it seems to have been usual for the houses to be distinguished by ornamentation on the gate posts. me nrst instance known ot a London street in which the houses were numbered is rrescot street, Goodman's Fields, but the practice did not spread far before the year 1704, when it received a great im petus, and it soon after became well established in London.

Gowan, once Miss Hazel Hale and Miss Josephine Richardson Messrs Ray Rogers and Leander Pavid the two boys of the class were absent A delightful time is reported and delicious refreshments were served at each home. Songs and conversation whiled the time away in the evening and in the afternoon faucy work and picture taking in which Mr. Slocum's JersBy cow played a prominent part were the main features. An Adaptable Prodigal. A man who lived in Raleigh, N. C, fell heir to about $15,000 and immediately spent it in higli living. A second and a third good sized sum of money came to him, and each time he played prodigal son until he was without funds. One day Joseplius Daniels met this man on the street in Raleigh. The prodigal was in rasrs. looked hungry and was evidently in very hard case. "It seems to me that you must have a tough time," said Daniels. "How do you stand it after the good living, luxuries and fine clothes you have been accustomed to?" Sir. Daniels, the man replied "I'll tell you how I do it: I ha made arrangements to get alon, without what I can't get." Satur- day Evening Post. JHii Narrow Escape. A jolly old steamboat capta with more girth than height w asked it lie had ever had any very narrow escapes. "Yes," he replied, his eyes twin kling; "once I fell oil my boat the mouth of Bear creek, and, i though I'm an expert swimmer, guess I'd be there now it it hadn been for my crew. Vou see, tl water, was just deep enough so"s to be over my head when I tried wade out and just shallow enough he gave his body an explanatory pat "so that whenever 1 tried to swim out I dragged bottom."

All person wishing concessions from the Fair Board please call and list their names and name cf concession with the Secretary as soon as possible, Same will then be turned over to the proper Committee and action taken. W. W. Smead, Sectv. All Cattle Will Have Pass Examination. to According to the state law all cattle to be exhibited at any fair will have to pass an examination by the State Vetrinarian. This is important, and ad those who contemplate . the exhibition of cattle at the coming Mor row county fair should report the same to the Secretary at once. By doina this it can be arranged to have the cattle examined by a vetrinary and expense saved. No doubt our residents are beginning tc select their stock for the exhibits by this time, and if so it will not inconvenience you to report it to the secretary who is doing all he can to save expense to the exhibiors in this matter of eaxm inalion. Keep boosting the Fair, and get in your reports. -- I have for sale at my place choice buck lambs from the famous Potter band. Prices reasonable. R. A. Thompson. tf. Tho Reason. Ail sorts and conditions of men have excellent reasons for their po sition in life. Illustrated Hits tell; of a tramp who had no illusions about the cause of his own condi tion. Mrs. rineneaitn (at hotel en trance) No: I have no money to spare for you. I do not see why an ablebodied man like you should go about begging. Lazy Tramp I s'pose, mum, it's ler about the same reason that healthy woman like you boards at a notel instead of keeping house. Why Ha Felt Happy. ''Vernon told me this related the lady with the cold blue eye, "that he passed the tree where two years ago he carved your initials and his own and encircled them wnn a neart. lie savs he felt so glad he almost danced for joy!" an, said trie tall brunette anx iously, "then he must still love me, after all! Did he tell you why he felt so happy?" 188, dear, ue said some men were cutting the tree down!" Cities Are Transients. VThatcitiesas great as Londonhave once triumphed in existence, had their victories as great, joy as just and as unbounded, and with short sighted presumption promised them selves immortality? Posterity can nardly trace the situation of some. The sorrowful traveler wanders over the awful ruin of others, and. as he beholds, he learns wisdom and feels the transience of every sub lunary possession.
