The many collectors of postage stamps
may follow in the steps of a Benedictine
monk, who has solved the problem of
their usefulness, and with them he has
papered the walls of a room in the mon
astery in most ingenious and effective
manner. In three months he collected
100000 stamps, sorted them according
to their colors, and then arranged them
in variety of animal and other designs,
such as flowers, notices and inscrip-
tions, together with the date of the day
when the task was finished. ~

The earliest records we have of the
Celtic race give the harp prominent
place and harpists peculiar veneration
and distinction. 1t was common to the
northern races of Europe in the earlier
centuries of the Christian era, and in the

iginal among them. The Irish harp was
often an hereditary instrument, to be
preserved with great care and venera-
ton, and used by the bards of the fami-
ly, alike the poet-musicians and histori-
ans, 1t was long ago adopted by the
Irish as a nati9al eMhlsm.
