The meeting decided in favor of the improvement, which carried with it the changes contemplated as sug- gested by the committee at a meeting two weeks ago, except that the lower- ing of the town hall property was elim- inated. It is planned. however, to give the town hall special consideration that will result in its enlargement and gen- eral improvement.. The original sum for the % es ed by the com- mittee, compos N.

It has also charge of pensiens, educa— tion and patents. The work of the generalslard office would properly be the place of the present department. The geological survey and the recla- mation service would naturally be in- cluded with the forestry and conserva- tion services, the direction of the Pan- ama canal and similar activities under the proposed department of public works. The staff of the pension bu- reau is dwindling every year. In five or ten years the supply of claims growing out of the civil war will be practically exhausted. The bureau be- longs naturally to the war department, wrich even now maintaine a record and pension division. The Indian bu- reau will soon have nothing to do, The small bureau of education can easily be transferred to the depart- ment of cemmerce and labor, as can the bureau of patents. The census bureau was so transferred when the department of commerce and labor was created. As other departments have expand- ed their activities those of the interior department have been contracted. Were no changce of status to occur the department would in twenty years shrink to the very modest dimensions of three moribund and four moderately active bureaus.—N. Y.

Hugo Munsterberg makes the claim that by some_psychological method he can read a woman's mind, This is wonderful. The male part of the pop- ulation will have to be shown before giving credence to this remarkable claim, and the more important part of the population will scoff at the great disceverer’s conceit. This acomplish- ment of Mr. Munsterberg would be mere prodigious than the invention of wireless telegraphy or the prevailing style of hats. Mr. DMusterbere proposes to read eomething which since the harvesting of the first apple has been illegible to the profoundest scholars and unintel- ligible to mere men. Reading the Ro- setta stone, the bricks of Babylon and the clay tablets of Ninevah has been considered child’s play in comparison with the achievement proclaimed by this savant. If Mr. Munsterberg can really and truly read a woman's mind, what mo- ments of ecstaecy must be his! For most men even the vain attempt to read her eyes gives thrills, but what joy can compare with the reading of a mind which so many churlish philoso- phers have considered blank. Think of the charming seerets which Mr. Munsterberg may pierce! Think of the delight of reading inmost thoughts all tangled and festooned with ribbens, laces, mock flowers, willow plumes, aigrettes and other dainty mysteries! Think of the marvel of penetrating to a woman's thoughts about her best friend’s taste in hats, her siyle in 4 and the neighbor’s childre: Wathington Star. ‘Scot Tnvented Postage Stamps. The postage stamp made its first ap- pearance in 1839. Its invention is due to James Chalmers, a printer of Pun- dee, who died in 1863. England adopt- ed the adhesive stamp, according to & decree of December 21, 1839, and is- sued the first stamps for public use on May 6, 1840. A year later they were introduced in the United States and Switzerland, and soom after in Bavar- ia, Belgium and France. Not Always.
