POE'S LAST

In a new volume of Poe's poems, r.
Fl. Stoddard, the late John r. Thomp-
sons literary executor (who, by the way,
was Poe's best friend), thus gives the
last scene in the life of Poe: "He
started from Richmond October 2, 1919,
and arriveda at Baltimore between trains,
and unfortunately took q drink with a
friend, the consequence of which was
that he was brought back from Havre
de Grace in q state of deliriuE. Ii was
on the eve OF a municipal election, and
as he wandered up and down the streets
of Baltimore he was secured by the
lawless agents of q political club and
locked up in a cellar all night. The
next morning he was taken out in a
state of frenzy, dru9ged, and made to
vote in eleven different wards. The
following day he was found IN a back
room at the political headquarters and
removed to a hospital. He was irsen-
sible when found, and remained so on
October 7. The doctor and nurse were
with him when he first showed con-
seriousness. where am ~ he asked.
They answered, You are cared for by
your best friends After a pause, IN
which he seemed to recall what had Oc-
Cured, and to realize his situation, Poe
replied, My best friend would be the
man who would blow out my brains
Within ten minutes he was dead"

A FAMILY REUNITED.

One of the nest extraordinary stories
of long-lost and finally restored chill
dren is this, which is told by the Port
land (Oregon) Bulletin: "We just
learned of a strange incident which has
recently TRANSFERRED in this city, and
fully proves that truth is ofttimes
stranger than fiction. Miss Comma
Frankie, we'll known to many in this
city, will be a passenger on the out 60
ing steamer to San Francisco, en- route
to visit her parents, in Florence, Italy,
whom she has no recollection of ever
having seen. When she was three and
a half years cid she was given to a fam
lily named Stokes, who promised to
educate and provide for her until she
was eighteen years of age. She was
then taken to England, India, Ger
many, China, Australia, California, and
last to Portland, Oregon, travelling with
O circus. When she reached this city,
about four years ago, she attained her
eighteenth year, and left the company
and took up her home here. She at
once entered a p~rinting-ofice and learn
ed to set type, and has been succeeding
admirably, winning hosts Of friends by
her admirable disposition and modest
retirement. She had been in Portland
but a shorttime when she caused letters
to be sent to the United States Consul
in Florence, with her photograph, re-
que sting that steps be taken to ascer-
tain the whereabouts Of her parents, If
living. In a short time they were
found, and the happiness given the
family at home, who had advertised in
almost every country on the globe for
their lost daughter, can better be i'm
agined than described. They forward
ed sufficient means to carry her from
the land of the setting sun across the
blue waters to the vine-clad hills of her
Italian homc. She goes, and with her
the kind wishes of a hundred friends

FLASHING POSTAGE STAMPS.

The Western Postal Record says :
The washing of postage stamps is
probably. the most profitable species of
laundry work in this or any other coun-
try. Third Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Barber estimates that the govern
ment is annually defrauded out of
81, 900, 900, or about five per cent. of the
amount of stamps sold, by the use of
stamps that have been used once and
then washed, and fitted for use a second
time. This seems an enormous sum,
but Mr.. Barber has given the matter
long and careful examination. Who it
was, or what organized band of men. is
not yet known, but it is evident that
the washing of stamps has become a
~systematized business. AS yet the gov
eminent has only one method of re-
venge. In many cases a washed stamp
may be easily detected. When this
happens, and Postmasters are requested
to scrutinize closely, the letter on which
the washed stamp is found is forwarded
to the dead letter office.

A HARD STORY ABOUT ALA SKA.

MIR. Henry Elliott, who went to Alas
ka last summer as Special Agent of the
Treasury to look after the interests of
the government on the island where the
seal fur is taken, is preparing q report
on the value Of the. entire territory to
the United States, which will have the
merit Of being based upon the extend
ed personal observations of, the writer.
Mr.. Elliott has spent a great deal CT
time in Alaska, both before and since
its purchase, and has probably seen
more of it's rocks and icebergs than any
other American. ALI the stories of its
mineral wealth, and of the value of it's
fisheries, he says, are pure fictions.
It's surface is q mass of basaltic rock,
which, as all biologists know, contains
no mineral deposits. What little soil
there is produces little that is useful to
man, and the fisheries, which were de-
scribed as of immense value when tire
treaty for buying the region was pend
ing, do not yield food enough to sup
ply the natives. The only portion of
the vast domain which yields any rev.
enue to the government is the fur seal
islands. From the tax on the skins of
the animals taken on these islands the
Treasury gets about $500, GOO annually.
Against this single item of ven Mr..
Elliott offsets the cost of maintaining
troops in the Territory, which amounts
to about $3.50, 600 year, and the e2-
pense Of a civil establishment at Sitka
and the seal islands. Without counting
interest On the purchase money paid
Russia, which. at six per cent, would
amount to 1920, 600 q year, the balance
sheet shows a heavy deficit Washing-
ton Letter to the NeW York Tribune.

STONES or SIZE.

Some of the blocks of granite used in
the construction of the Treasury build
ing at Washington are the largest ever
moved in this country, and they were
all carried from the eastern part Of
Maine. They were transported to
Washington by water, and, after their
arrival there, moved by ox-power upon
a sort of double pulley SYSTEM dis
lance of two miles, to the spot where
they were wanted for use. The work
of moving them was performed with
comparative case, not more than eight
or ten yokes of oxen being employed to
move a block weighing more than sew
enty tons. The Tinted pillars, great
building, are forty feet long, and weigh
fifty tens at least. The largest blocks,
thirty to forty feet thick, weighed up
ward of seventy tons. The facility with
which these large blocks were moved
and fixed in their places was q source
of wonderment, and seemed to admiring
spectators to be the perfection of me-
chanical skill and ingenuity. And yet
how insignificant the achievement when
compared with the triumphs of ancient
art. In the foundation of the great
Temple of the Sun az Baalbec may still
be seen, even iii the second course,
stones which are 81 feet long and 9 feet
thick; and under these, about 20 feet
from the ground, three stones which
alone occupy 1872 feet in length by
II high. These three stones are esti-
mated to weigh 900 tons each But we
read of an Egyptian idol temple, Buris,
far surprising this, in which there was
a sanctuary composed of a single block
of granite sixty feet square. This is
the largest and heaviest stone men
toned in the history of nations.

SOME HEA Wy FAIE URES.

Harper's Basar says Several recent
failures among the grain and produce
dealers of New York for amounts vary
ing from 100000 to $780, 900 recall
the fact that the way in which some of
the old gentlemen of history failed
throws our two-penny Affairs quite into
the shade. Caesar, before he entered
into public life, was short 81, 600, 900,
and with no assets, and purchased the
friendship of Qunsor for $1,000, 600
(Which was a pleasant thing for Que
sor). Mare Antony failed for s $780,
900 on the ides Of March, but got an
extension Of only a few days, and paid
100 cents. Those old "swells used to
get short and fail and compromise, just
as they do in Wall street.

TO BE REMEMBERED.

If Won have a crack in the wall in the
corner of the room, or anywhere else,
do not send for the plasterer, but get
five or ten cents worth of dry plaster
of Paris wet with cold water; then
take your. finger and rub it into the
~crevice till it is smooth. Bad nail holes
in the wall can be done in the same
way. Should the top of your lamp be-
come loose, take it off and wash it with
