Money Orders to Cost New.

On and after July 1, all who purchase
a domestic money order at the post-
ofiice will have to pay two cents more
for it than they do at present. ' This is
Owing to the war tax, that causes a
tw.) cent stamp to be affixed to the
note. This will affect those who have
been in the habit of sending money in
small sums, where the cost was but
three cents for the order. The stamp
is thesame in larger amounts, so that
it 5will scarcely be felt on the large
orders. .

The advance in rates caused by the
stamps on domestic orders does not
affect-the foreign money orders, as the
charges on those to a number of places

has been reduced.

_ Spectacled Cows. ..

Cows with spectacles are to be seen
on the Russian steppes. The steppes
are covered with snow more than six
months of the year. The cows subsist
on the tufts of grass which crop above
the snow, and the rays of the sun on
the snow are so dazzling as to cause
blindness. To obviate this calamity,
it occurred to a kind-hearted man to
protect the cows's eyes in the same
way as those of human beings, and he

cles which could be safely worn by
cattle. These spectacles were a great
success, and are now wOrn by upwards
of 40, 000 head of cattle, who no longer
suffer from the snow-blindness which
once caused such untold suffering
amongst them. ‘ ‘

AGE OF- COLLEGE STUDENTS. 1

Some Figures Given Recently by the Pres-
ident of Dartmouth. [5
Some interesting figures regarding .
the average age'of students entering:
college were given by President Tuck- '

‘er of Dartmouth in a. recent talk. In”

1780 this average age was 19 years; in .
1790, 20 years; ‘in 1800, it fell to 18, and ;
in 1810 to a trifle less than 18. In 1820 i
it had risen. to 18 plus, in 1840 to 19 and '
in 1850 to 19 plus, where it has since re- I
mained so far as the records have been

consulted. What is most surprising is

the high average for the early period.

Requirements 'for admission to the »
leading colleges a century ago were of

course far below what they are now,I
and it seems-to be a fact that most
graduates ' then who later ~attained
great distinction entered college at

and Choate entered Dartmouth when
less than 15 years old, and George.
Ticknor when only about 12 years Old.
John Trumbull, the poet, passed his
examination for Yale when only 7
years old, though he did not enter the

was a. prodigy, however, and his period

was half a century earlier than that . ..

 

of Tlcknor and Choate. Nevertheless,
cases of entering college at 12 and 145
years a century ago could be cited in;
large number, but the Dartmouth fig-1
ures would indicate that they were the
exception and not the rule. Possibly

however, «Dartmouth itself would prove
to be an exception among colleges. The
sections from which it drew students
most largely were more remote and

less favored with preparatory educa-!.

tional advantages than those about
Harvard and Yale, and this made a'
great difference—Springfield, Mass.,5

LIKE MOTHER, LIKE SON.

A thlle Incident AW lilch Happened in the
New York Post-omen.
5 One of the most remarkable among
the feats of the post-office in finding"
people—and such feats are many—is.
recorded by a. New York paper. A let-
ter was received at the post-office in
“To my
mother, New York, America."

The letter came from Ireland, but as
there are in New York several women
who have sons in Ireland, the post-of-z
fice people despaired of finding the
right one. However, the» letter was
turned over to the deciphering depart-
ment. Now It so happened that on‘the
very day of Its receipt there 5' an old
Irish woman came to the general de-
livery window and said, -— '

“Have y'e a letter frdm me b'y?”

The fact that: a woman with the cast
of mind required for such: an inquiry
should come at that time, struck the

something more 3111an coincidence It,”
uwasxquite possible 111211 such” a woman
might beifhe mother ofasuch *9.- son

postmark: and asked the woman where
her -“b' y" lived. 'vShe'zgave the name
of the place with which the letter was
stamped Some Other questions were
asked and 5tbe5 answers noted down.
Then the clerk gave the woman the
letter, on the condition that she should'
open it On the spot and return It if it
were not for her.

She opened It, and lo! its contents
proved conclusively that it was really
from her son in Ireland.

 

'A Wonder Room In a Chloago House.

There is a curious room in Chicago.
It is in one of the most imposing man-
sions of the clty——.—a mansion famed for
its dinners and balls. This little room
is fashioned of mirrors. Calling, floor
and walls are all of mirrors, some of
which are convex, some concave, some
flat. The door is also of {locking glass,
and it5open‘s with a spring, which is
not easy to find. One of the jests of the
household Is to entice a guest into the

leave him for a. few moments to find
his way out. The effect upon the sens-
es ls bewildering. The occupant sees
himself in grotesque shapes all around.
He is dogged with caricatures. of him-
self. He sees himself with a flat and-
swelllngface and with an elongated
and lusubrlous‘phiz; he perceives him-
self squat as a dwarf and towering like

,a 5,‘beanpole and. can 1111.1 no escape .

from these absurd presentments of
himself.

A Thoughtful Hen.

A lady who lived for some time when
she was first married on a Mississippi
cotton plantation says that among
their poultry was a hen who developed
a fondnessfor a more civilized way of
living. She preferred the house to the
hen yard, and never lost an opportuni-
ty of mounting the steps and entering.
She was always “shooed” out, but this
did not cause her ardor to decrease.
Finally she conceived the idea of mak-
ing an offering to the inmates of the
house in- return for accommodations,
so nearly every day she would enter
and lay an egg in the 'sheet trunk,
which stood open at that time of day in
the hall. The family was so amilsed at
this performance that they allowed her‘
to go in and out without molestation.—

A Primitive Method of Operation.

The simplest public railroad now op-
erated is thought :20 be one between
Atami and Odawara, in Japan. It is a
narrow-gauge road, and is run by man
power. The cars have seats for fun:
persons each, who sit back to back. A
train consists of two 0r three cars, and
is drawn up hill by half a dozen coo-
lies; at the top of the incline the
coolles jump on the platforms and the
train runs down to the terminus by
gravity, with the speed of an express
