- Domestic service. . in America boa
passed . through three distinct phases.
.The iirst exteuiis from the early col
onization, to the time of the revolution;
the second from the revolution to about
1S50; the third froni'ISSO to the present
time. " v . '. . .'. ' .. " ' '
During- the colonial period service of
every kind was performed by trans
ported convicts, indentured white
servants or "redemptiouers," "f ree will-,
ers," negroes and Indians. The first
three classes convicts, redemptioners
and free willers were of European, at
first jjftuerally English, birth. - ;
Protests were often made against
Ihis method of settlement, both by the
colonists themselves and by English
men, but it was long before the English
government abandoned the practice of
tiansporting criminals to the Ameri
can colonies."
Of the three classes of whites, or
Christian servants, as they were called
to uistingush tliom from the Indians
and negroes, tiie free willers were
evidently found only ia Maryland. They
w ere received under the condition that
they be allowed a certain number of
days ia which to dispose of themselves
to the greatest advantage.
-It i? impossible . to. state the pro
portion ot servaats belonging to the two
classes of..transj:ortcd convicts and re
demptioners, but the statement is ap
parently fair that the redemptioners
who sold themselves into service to pay-
for the cost of their passage constituted
by far the larger portion. These were
found in all the colonies; though more
numerous ia tEe southern and middle
colonies than in Kcw England. . In
Virginia and Maryland they, outnum
bered tfic negro slaves lntil.the latter
part of the seventeenth century. In
Massachusetts apprenticed servants,
bound for a term of years, were sold
from shipsi!i Boston as late as 1730,
while the genernl trade in bound white
servants lasted : until the time of the,
revolution, and in Pennsylvania even
until this century.- .- - ' '
The first rcdemtloners were natural
ly of English birth, but after a time they
were supplanted by those of other,
nationalities, .particularly by Germans
and Irish. As early as 1718 there was a.
complaint of the Irish immigrants iu
Massachusetts. '.. -
It has been said that a great majority
of the redemptioners belonged at first
to a-low class in the social scale. A con
siderable number, however, both men
and women, belonged to the re
spectable, even to the so-called upper
class of society. Thev were sent over
to prevent disadvantageous marriages,:
to secure inheritances to other members
of a family or to further some criminal
scheme. -
Many: of these bond servants sold
themselves into servitude, others were
disposed of through emigration brok
ers and still others were kidnaped, be-,
ing enticed on shipboard by persons
called "spirits." The evil of ''spiriting
away," both children and adults, be
came so great that in 1004 the commit-,
tee for foreign plantations interposed
and the council created the office of
register, charged with the duty of keep
ing a record ot all persons going to
America as servants, and the statement
that they hud voluntarily left England.'
This act was soon followed by another
fixing the penalty of death, without
benefit of clergy,; in every case where
persons were found guilty of kidnap
ing children or adults. But even these
extreme measures did not 'put an end
to the evil; and it is stated that 10,000
persons were annually kidnaped after
the passage of the act.
The wages paid were, as a rulc,inall,
though some complaints are found,
especially in - New England, of high
wages and poor service. More often thb
wages were a mere pittance. Elizabeth
Evans came from Ireland to serve John
Wheelwright for three years. ' Her
wages were to be three pounds a year
and passage paid.. Margery Batman,
after five years of service in Charles
town, was to receive a she goat to help
her in starting life. Mary Polly, accord
ing .to the tcrms.of her indenture, was
to serve ten years and .then receive
"three barrels of corn and one suit of
penistone and one suit shirts of dowlas
and one black hood, two hif ts of dowlaa
and shoes and hose convenient."
Domestic Service. . ' . . - ' ,
There is more Catarrh ia this section
of the country than all othe diseases pa
together, and until the last iew. years
was snpposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatments pronounced
it incurable.; Science has proyen catarrh
to be a constitutional .disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J.' Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on jthe market.
It is taken internally in doses from' ten
drops to a teasDoonful.. It acts directly

OUR FIRST POSTAGE STAMPS.
"Job Billings' " Father Warn tbe First
. Pnrcnaser, Just Fifty Years Ago.
"Fifty years ago ia July, ;1S47
Uncle Sam issued his first postage
stamps," writes Fannie Mack Lothrop
in Ladies Home Journal. " "In Eng
land, seven " years before,; - Rowland
Hill, 'falher. of the penny post,', intrc
duced the 'sticking plasters,' as the
stamps were contemptuously called.
John M. Xiles, our postmaster-general
at that time, tried heroically, but in
vain, to move, congress to authorize
stamps for this country. His successor,
Cave Johnson, was more fortunate, and
the bill desired was approved on March
3, 1847, the stamps nut beihg issued,
however, till Aijirust,- though the time
appointed was Ju'y'l. Only two values
of the new stamps were introduced in
1847--a five and ten-cent stranp, bear
ing, respectivelyy the 'portrait cf Frank
lin in a bronze tint and Washington in
black. . ., . ': .
' 'The first purchaser of stamps in the
United States was Henry Shaw, the
father of Henry Wheeler Shaw (better
known as 'Josh Billings,' the humor
ist). Mr. Shaw was in the postmaster
general's office on August 0, 1S47, when
Mr. Jobnso"h entered with the printer
from whom he had just received sheets
of the new stamps. Mr. Johnson passed
a sheet to Mr. Shaw, for inspection.
After giving the stamp's a hasty glance
Mr. Shaw, perhaps with an eye t'j fu
ture fame, took out his wallet, counted
out 13 "cents and purchased one ef each
variety.. The 'five' he kept as a curi
osity, the' 'ten. he presented to Gov.
Briggs as an appropriate gift." -
A QUAINT. BIT. OF GERMANY.
Rea-ion Just Out ot Berlin Remarka
ble for Its Old CnKtonta.
The Spreewald is the subject of , a
paper in..Century. - The writer says:
Strange, indeed, that so near Berlin so
old-time and., curious a , .community
could have remained reasonably uncon
.taminated by the hordes of picnickers.
The Spreewald is too near a great caj-ital-for
foreigners to hear much of it.
The museums and palaces of Berlin, the
palaces "of Potsdam, absorb all the
spare energy of foreign visitors. And
for convenient out flights it is a little
too far for most burghers of. Berlin.
Seme have country places in and near
the Spreewald. Many visit it occasion
ally. It is a favorite placedor people
from Dresden and Leipsic who can give
several days to exploring its watery
labyrinths. Especially for the teaching
guild is it a favorite resort, .Every vil
lage has its inns, and at Burg, where
Vendish services are held in the old
church -and the costume remains the
most antique, there are several famous
taverns. One is the bleachery where
Frederick the Great established a col
ony of dyers and weavers, who have dis
appeared, although the art is still prac
ticed by private means "for personal use
in many;farmhouses. But the fine
green, orange, pink andjilac headdress
es and the turquoise, gray and. yellow
skirts are now bought at Cottbus or in
Berlin. '
Color Line In Ilrltisb. Army.
With all England's condemnation of
the social disadvantages to which the
colored raee is subjected in the United
States, she is giving abundant evidence
of being imbued with radical preju
dices that are every bit as strong.
Thus, the volunteer regiments of the
great universities have declined to ad
mit to their ranks students of Indian
or of African origin, and a number "of
other volunteer and militia corps, in
cluding the Inns of Court batallion,
composed of members of the legal pro
fession, have followed "suit.
A Powerfnl Beacon.
The French lens which' throws elec

(N. J.) lighthouse, where it will be the
most powerful beacon on the American

A House Like Woman's Bealj -
Of the many ideas put forward' for the

NO DOG DAYS.
And Mad Dogs Are Few and Far
"; . . Between. - : '
So Sara Reliable Authority on Such
Matters Henee We Should Not
Cry "Mad Dost"' Too
" SOOB. - - . -!
-Now,' the very first observation we
have to make on- this subject is that
there are no such days in the year's cal
endar as "dog days." There are no
days oh which, and there is no kind of
Weather during which, a dog is pecul
iarly liable to rabies. " Uabjes is a rare
disease at all seasons of the year, and
there are no more cases of rabies in
July or August than in December or
January It follows, therefore, that
there is -no more reason to dread our
family friend, the dog, in hot weather
than in cold, and no- more reason to
dread hydrophobia from his bite at one
timeof the year than at another. The
phrase "dog. days" is a false and mis
leading phrase, which all humane per
sons ought to avoid in the interest of
the dog. "T - - .'.
We have-said, "and -we repeat, that
hydrophobia is one! of the rarest of dis
eases; a.nd that when it appears to be
developed, we believe it, in the vast ma
jority of cases, to be a simulated dis
ease,; produced by a morbid imagina
tion. We do not go so far as to assert
that- it is never caused by the bite of a
rabid animal; and therefore we would
advise that all proper care should be
taken to destroy without delay all nr
imals that are affected with rabies. Yet
here again we -must recall the fact that
rabies itself is one of the rarest of aU-i
the diseases with which dogs and other
animals are affected. When-we hear
the cry of "Mad dog!" the chances are
millions to one that the dog is not mad;
it is the people who are mad with ter
ror. :. - ;.
:' In, the .30 years since the American
Society -for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals was established our officers
and agents have been constantly on the
outlook, but no" undoubted case of
rabies has ever fallen under their ob
servation or -within their knowledge;
and of over 160,000 dogs and - other
small animals- which have been cured
for at our shelter during the past three
years, not one single case of rabies has
been. found. These facets sufficiently
prove that rabies isTare in this city and
in this state; but there is-such a disease,
and it is important for the public, as
well as yourself, that you should know
whether a sick dog rs or is not rabid. If
you will note the following facts yon
will have no difficulty. You will prob
ably find them to be quite different
from the popular fancies by which most
persons are misled. -
- 1. It 19' supposed that a mad dog
dreads water. It is not so." The mad
dog is very likely to plunge his head to
the eyes'in water, -though he cannot
(swallow it and laps it with difficulty.
- 2. It is supposed that a mad dog runs
about with evidences of intense excite
ment. It is not so. "The mad dog never
runs about in agitation; he never gal
lops; he is always alone, usually in a
strange place, where he jogs along'
slowly. If -he is approached by dog or
man he shows no sign of excitement,
but when' the dog or man is near enough
he snaps and resumes his-sc.itary trot.
3. it a aog barks, yelps, w nines or
growls that dog is not mad. The only
Found1 a mad dog is ever known to emit
is a hoarse howl, and that but seldom.
Even blows will not extort an outcry
from a mad dog. Therefore, if any dog.
under any circumstances, utters any
other sound than that of a hoarse howl,
that dog is not mad. . --
.4.. It is supposed that the mad dog
froths at the mouth. It is not so. If a
'dog's jaws are covered or necked with
iwhite froth, that dog is not mad. -The
surest of all signs that a dog is mad is a
thick and1 ropy brown mucus clinging
io his lips, which he often tries vainly to
tear away with his paws or to wash
away w'ith water. . -.. - '. -
5. If your own ,dog is bitten by any
other dog,. watch him, carefully. If he
is infected by rabies you will discover
eigns of it possibly in from six to ten
days.. Then' he will- be restle.ss, often
getting up only to lie - down, again,
changing . his position impatiently,
turning from side to side, and constant
ly licking or scratching some particular
part of his head, limbs, or body. He
will be irritable jind inclined to dash at
other animals,, and he will sometimes
snap at objects which he imagines to be
near him. He will be excessively thirsty,
lapping water eagerly and of ten. Then
there will be glandular swellings about
his jaws and throat, and he-will vainly
endeavor to rid himself of a thick, ropv
mucous discharge, from his mouth and
throat. If he can he will probably stray
away from home and trof slowly and
mournfully along the, highway or
(- across country, meddling with neither
man nor beast unless they approach,
him,. and then givinga single snap. The
only exception to this behavior occurs
in ferocious dogs, which, during the
earlier stage of excitement, may at
tack any living object in sight. Our
Animal Friend. .
