The stamps of the largest denomi-
nation used under the internal reve-
nue. system, which is pretty well
broken up by the tariff bill, were for
5000, and they were used to stamp
S10,O00,000 railroad bonds. OF course
they were not called for every day
but there was an actual demand for
them. The 5000 stamp was two
inches wide and three inches long.

Whate'er besides you chance to want,
Ne'er fall short of SOZODONT.
But keep it always in your sight,
A source of beauty and delight,
To cleanse your teeth till with your
smile
The most fastidious you beguile.
