MANIA FOR COLLECTING STAMPS.
PhiIateiy Seems to Catch the old aud
Noun. of All Glasses.


Young of All Glasses
Philately, erstwhile called stamp collecting,
and relegated almost entirely 10 children and
youths, seems to be attaining rank among
collecting diversions that calls for some notice
of its merits and the pleasures attending its
pursuits. Its devotecs in this country alone
are numbered by the hundreds Of thousands,
and comprise the old and young of both sexes
and of all classes and conditions. Professional
men especially seem TO have a weakness in
this direction, but, owing TO the ridicyiIe with
which stamp collecting has been met in the
past, many who are ardent collectors and
who possess fine collections, are 10th 10 admit
the fact, some even going 50 far as 70 deny
their hobby when pressed too closely in re
gard to IL
However, the increasing favor that stamp
collecting is rapidly gaining rs pastime IS
doing away with the old preiudiccs, and
many are now 10 be found who are willing 70
admit their indulgence in the pursuit-some
timidly and apologetically, others boldly and
fearlessly. 1t IS TO these latter that the self
styled philatetists are indebted for the move
ment that is now in progress for the forula
ton of a national society of stamp collectors.
From present indications this society bids
fair to be a success, several hundred members
having been already enrolled Its objects arc
to establish n closer communion among
change of specimens and ideas and 70 develop
a better class of stamp literature than has
previously existed in America. Similar So
cictics have flourished for years in England,
France and Germany, and have done
much TO advance philatcly In this country
there exists a score or more of local societies
which meet once or twice month, and these
are the nucleus of the national societies now
being formed.
1t may cause the Uninitiatcd to smile az the
mention of n postage stamp literature, hut
nevertheless, such n literature exists and n
considerable amount Of it at that. Quite r.
Gently there was started an illustrated
monthly called The Stamp Collector, which,
as its title indicates, is entirely devoted to
philately. And a very CreJ!itabc publication
it Is, too, one that viii compare favorahlv
with the journals of any other speciality
"This mad world, my masters, " but these
dcvotces of the stamp-collccting mania srrn
to have some method in their madness II
can at least be said in their favor that their
form o. mania is perfectly harmless both to
themselves and the world at largc.-Neyv

a version of his action as representative

What Your Name Means.

The only Frank know is short and stout, and slow thinker, who begins to dribble out his words before his thought is ready, and then has to make a clumsy pause while the poor slow thing is overtaking him. How different from the bright and winning Frank of fiction.
 How many Georges does one know who slay their dragons.
 Tom is somewhat near Jack, but less attractive, for these yielding, sus- ccptible sinners are generally very lik- able.
 Andrew is not. He is slow and sure, and quite reliable, so far as his own in- terests jump with yours. I think I should hate to be married to an An drew; that is, the typical Andrew.
 As to John and James, or else Jack and Jim, and worlds divide these from each other. James and John are fixed stars-Jim and Jack are planets, if not comets, with the exception that not all the science in the world could with cer- tainty predict their movements.
 Then there is Alfred, often a quite un- bearable prig, while Fred is the very contrary. Frederick is a very differ ent man from Fred, and it seems as im- possible for Harry to grow old as it is for Henry to be very young.

Unfortunate attle.

The reports aaliy received here from travellers who have traversed those parts of the Panhandle lately devastated by prairie fires, are of such nature as fills the hearts of those having feelings for dumb brutes with pity and horror. It is quite common sight to see cattle that have been overtaken by the fires wander ing around with the baked flesh hanging in strips from their bodies, and their eye sight destroyed. Some that were weak or caught in place where there was no avenue of escape, were killed outright Texas Panhandle.

Lord Any 1!

There appears now to be some doubt as to change of commanders in this de- partment. Sheridan insists that Crook is doing all that can be done to capture the "ten little iniuns," and that no change is necessary. Perhaps this is true, but as he has not accomplished anything perceptible to the people hereabouts, and the number of hostiles on the war-path IS increasing instead of diminishing, it would seem that change might be for better, for it can not be f,r worse. The suffering people in this section demand change; they are not particular as to who shall be the new man, but like the old woman in the tree praying for hus- band, cry "Lord, any!-Deming Head light.
