The Constitution. of the United States provides that unless Congress directs otherwise the time of holding elections for senators and representatives "shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof." In the early days of our government no law on the subject was passed. But in 1845 Congress fixed the first Tuesday after the ft*st Monday in November as the day for choosing the presidential electors. That day is still national or general election day. The same day was designated for the election of rep- :esentatives and senators, but an ^exception was made in those states in which a different day was speci- ^wfied in their Constitution. So for ^many years three states--Arkansas, ^Oregon and Maine -- elected their ^congressional representatives earli- •" er than November. Arkansas and i -' Oregon soon found it more practical to hold their state and congressional ' elections at the same time the other states held theirs, and changed their History «F Ate Envelop* DateaBack to Year 1758 . In the British museum is a crude, Rand-made envelope, Pleasuring 4V4 by 8 incha* i^ which a letter was sent in 1696 by the Right Honorable Sir William Ttambull, ^hen secretary of state of England, to Sir James Ogilvie of London. Also, in the British museum are envelopes used in the years 1755 and 1760 for the transmission of important government documents. It appears, however, envelopes were not in general use until almost a century afterward, says Envelope Economies. . v> . ; The Japanese had used envelopes as containers for. powders and scents for hundreds of years. Later, the French adopted the same custom. When the envelope was introduced for maUiftg purposes in England, it was regarded as a novelty but there seems some basis for a belief that envelopes had been used previously for mailing purposes in France. These were very dainty and made of the most expensive and delicate papers. ..

While returning recently from another Journey to Hungary, the Czech customs officers glanced through his diary as he crossed the frontier.

Stamps Were Rocket Decorations Seeking stamps from Maltese issues of the fifteen years following 1860, French stamp collectors have made a curious discovery, which explains why many of the specimens now cost from one to ten pounds sterling apiece, asserts a writer in Pearson's London Weekly. ^ In those days stamps were used by the million for mailing newspapers, but as they were stuck on the paper itself, and not on a wrapper, they were thrown away when the paper was finished with. The Maltese in those days, adored fireworks. The manufacturers of. raw material for decorating the outsides of the fireworks took t( sending round men who persuaded housewives to rout out their hoards of old papers. The stamps were taken off and used for decorating rockets. As a result, thousands of rocket! went.up carrying 100 pounds sterling worth of old stamps, in addition to - few pennyworths of gunpowder. Christians Fed to LiMis to Make Roman Holiday During the declining days of the- Rbman empire, before Christianity became the accepted religion, it was the custom of the Roman emperors to pacify their unruly subjects with free circuses, which featured bouts between captive Christians armed with wooden swortfs -and wild lions. Gladiators also were matched against the lions. * Christianity was just beginning to make itself felt, such cruelty was the only means we pagan Romans could use in their fruitless effort to stamp it dLJ/,Other forms of torture consisted ol crucifixions and burning at the stake. As a result the term "Roman holiday" later has been applied to any entertainment which cai^ses loss or suffering to those ^providing it. It is taken froirr-fiyfortV refcrence (in "Childe Harpio^s - ^ik|fimage") to the gladiators. * as 'Tbulchered to make a Rqgiaj^holidqjr." Why Object Appears Upside Down If you reflect an object which is behind you through a magnifying glass into a mirror you will observe that the object is not only magnified but shown upside down. Now how has this happened? The rays of light by which we see all objects travel as straight lines from the object to the magnifying glass. Having passed through the glass they meet on the other side, having been deflected in their passage. But they have to continue, and so they go straight on, crossing each other at a certain point. Thus .when they reach the looking-glass the object is-shown upside down. Why It Is "Lvneh" Lunch is believed to be another form of "lump," meaning a piece of bread.

ArrftraT of Canal Boats * Big Event Century Ago New marvels of transportation kept? the American public wondering a hundred years ago, records over new waterways being made almost every week, especially in Columbus, where -the "great Ohio canal" was within a year of completion to the Ohio river. The week of September 20, 1831, saw some events come to pass that had a tremendous influence Oh the future of that state. Under the heading "More Welcome Arrivals," the Columbus Sentinel of September 27 said: "On Monday three canal boats arrived at this town, viz.: the Cincinnati, Red Rover and Lady Jane, from Cleveland. These were the first bofts that had passed the Lick? Ing Summit. The first fruits of navigable commerce with the laftes and the state of New York to the town of Columbus was welcomed by the firing of a 'six-poundt ., the ringing of the. state house bell, a procession .of cUfcens and an address from a corrmlttee and a collation, partaken in common by the boats' company and citizens. The scene was intensely gratifying to the man of France business and admirers Of internal improvement; and it is hardly less animating to the youth and very many of the adults in this place, who had never seen any watercraft superior to the Orleans flat. The sight of those boats was marvelous to some slow calculating pioneers of these Western wilds, .who never 'believed that in their day a canal boat would reach Columbus from the lake. The first boat was adapted to heighten the marvel. It was the Cincinnati, which was built at the city of New York and actually float* ed on the briny waves in that' harbor; had passed up the majestic Hudson; the -great Western canal, and plied* the Erie'and Ohio canal, distance of 240 miles." Such was progress in those days.

The Jail ^commissioners permitted him to take the oath, however, after he had assigned the property, a small farm in nearby West Haven, to his creditors, Mingo left tb^ jail with a grin and without comment.

Song of Gsurryowen, Onev of Erin's Popular Airs Garryowen, which gives its name to one of the most popular songs of Erin, is on a hill commanding a superb view of the city of Limerick, states Ireland's Own. Tradition has preserved the occasion of its celebrity, and the origin of its name, which appears to be compounded of two Irish words signifying "Owen's Garden." A person so called was the owner about a century ago. „ » Owen's garden was „the general rendezvous for those who sought for simple amusement or for recreation. The fame' of the "Garryowen Boys" spread far and near. Their deeds were celebrated by a minstrel of the day in that air which has resounded over every quarter of the world. A string of jolly verses was appended to the tune, which soon enjoyed notoriety. The name of "Garryowen" was as \yell known as that of Limerick itself, and Owen's little garden became almost a synonym for Ireland. -t . 1. , •*!*.') ••• > waU Street""'ivV " V.< Wall street, the narrow and short street running east and west from Trinity church on Broadway to the East river, New York city, took its name from the fact that it follows the line bf the palisaded wall or. stockade buHt in KB!'"across the southern end of Manhattan island by Gov.
