The stamp-Collectine Mania.
Pail Mail Gazette.


The mania for collecting postage stamps seems
to be gaining more ground than ever in France.
Among the most famous collectors in France is a
man who has over a million postage stamps pre-
served in $50 richly bound volumes, and another
who keeps two clerks employed in classifying
and arranging his enormous collection. Added
to this, there are in Paris about $50 wholesale
firms employed in the trade, AMI one OF the best
known of these has lately offered from EGO to
E40 for certain stamps of the year 1896. Tuscan
postage stamps dated before 1860 will be paid for
at the rate of f6 each. while stamps from Mau.
ritius for the year 1947 fetch ESQ, and French
stamps of 1849 are quoted at 81 each.

An EDglishman's Ancestors In the Reign

From the Popular Science Monthly.
The number OF a mans ancestors
doubleslin every generation ss his descent
is traced upward. In the first generation
he reckons only two ancestors--his father
and mother. In the second generation
the two are converted into four, since he
had two grandfatheRs and two grand
mothers. But each of these four had two
parents, and thus in the third generation
there are found to be eight ancestors
that is, eight great-grandparents. In the
fourth generation the number Of ancestors
is sixteen; in the fifth, thirty.two; IN the
sixth, sixty-fOur; Ia the seventh, 1913. In
the tenth 1t has risen tn l.024; in the
twentieth it becomes 1,04S,676; in the
thirtieth no fewer than 1,073,741, 1874. To
ascend no higher than the twenty-fOurth
generation we reach the sum OF 49,
777,216, which is great deal
more than all the inhabitants of
Great Britain when that generation
was in existence. For, If we reck-
