Instead of hanging up their .stock­ ings ,tbe native ‘children prepare n box filled with gras* to represent a manger and place It outside their doors on the night of the ,5th of January, just as the little Dutch children In Holland put out their wooden shoes.

He deals with human nature in the raw and is an individual without illusions. He humbly calls his profession that of photographer.

Now the photographer realizes that he is face to face with a stiff proposition, one of many in the day’s work, He takes a dozen proofs and sehds them for approval. One is returned with an ink mark drawn perpendicularly along the waist line. If the instructions are not written out, as they sometime* are; the presence of the line means take that much off--make me thinner a t the waist, Allowing for the fact that the one eye or the camera makes a broader, flatter surface than is seen by the two human eyes, the photographer proceed* to scrape or "do-ertor* the negative.

The private carrier stamps of the United States in use in the forties and early fifties are among the most interesting memorials of progress from the quaint customs of a cen- tury ago to the highly advanced methods of todays civilization. Ev­ ery section of the country got its private mail carriers just as every section of the country today has its moving picture arcade. One of the private concerns that -did an extensive business and issued one of the neatest stamps was the American Letter Mail company. Its postal service embraced the states of Massachusetts, llhode Island, Con­ necticut, Neiv York and Pennsylva­ nia, with connections in the princi­ pal cities of each state. W. Wyman of New York was one of the big competitors of the Amer­ ican company for Now York to Bos­ ton mail. l i b stamp bore a picture of a locomotive of tnoec days, draw­ ing what was presumably a mail coach, Overton &Co/s letter express was also in competition for the same business, bust was rather more am­ bitious than Wyman, for they ex­ tended their service as far south as Philadelphia and had well organ­ ized connections a t that city for dis­ tributing mail over a wide territory in 1’eunsylvania and adjacent states. Still another rival of those mail- men was in. the field in the person of the IDkttjfprd mail, a famous oH private mail carrier‘that operated between the cities of Hartford, Bos* ton and New York. There werof several smaller enterprises cover­ ing portions of the same ground, and the fact that they all thrived shows that even a t that time the ad­ vantages of reliable mail communi­ cating methods were appreciated. Boston had a “city dispatch” in/ New York, as did Boyd, the latter'# headquarters being at 1 Bark place, and the long series of stamps ho Used covered the period from 18-1fc to 1878.—Boston Herald. r Washington Streets. Said a Washington man: “While the naming of the streets in Wash­ ington is simple and easy to follow to residents, to the stranger it is most confusing, owing to the way in which the avenues cut diagonally across the numbered and lettered streets and these streets calmly move half a block away before again taking up their line of march. If a stranger, say, was going up ^Fif­ teenth Street, when lie got to K, al­ though the street swings thej-'* slightly to the right and proceeds on a different angle, he would umlaut i- edly continue along it with serm.»* confidence that lm was still in Fif­ teenth street, whereas he in rcri'iv Would bo in Vermont avenue, whs!.: the teal Fifteenth street is half a block northward.
