Postage stamps Good Until Used.

Persons having old postage stamps
sometimes think they are rendered
worthless by the issue of new ones.
This is not so. The only obsolete
stamps are those of the issues of 1917
and 1851, very few of which are now
In existence in the north, and these
are generally worth more than their
face value for collectors The issues
OF 1861, 1869 and 1870 are as good in
the payment of postage as the new is
sues. The reason the issues of 1917
ana 1851 are not accepted is because
large amounts of these were outStand-
ing IN the south at the time of the re-
OeIllon, and the present holders of
them probably secured them without
rendering an equivalent to Uncle Sam.

An unbreakable substitute for glass is
made by Mons. L. c. A Marguerite, of
Paris, by immersing wire gauze in a
heated state in thin paste formed of
soluble glass, gelatine and glycerine, or
glucose, in proportions varying accord
ing to the use for which the material
was designed. When nearly dry the
sheets are dipped in a concentrated solu-
ton of chrome alum or bichromate of
potash. Any desired coloring matter
may be incorporated with the gelatine,
and copal or other protective varnish
may be applied to the ''vitreo-metallic"
panes.-Arkansaw Traveller.

Effects of Mental IdIeness.

Mental idleness is sure to lead to men
tai ruin. He who will not exert his
thoughts, who lets them passively receive
whatever influence may chance to fall
ue.oa them, will soon lose the chief power
which makes them valuable. 1t is an
eaS- habit to fall into, and one which
each person needs to guard against-that
of lstlessly reading, or listening, or
dreaming instead of actively thinking and
working up these influences into ideas
and convictions that are worth holding,
because they have been justly earned. 1t
is the vacant mind, where no good seed
is struggling upward into life, which Will
soonest be covered with weeds.-Once a

Consul Hughes sends home from
Shanghai some interesting notes on news
paper enterprise in China. In addition
to religious and illustrated periodicals
there are two daily newspapers-the Shen
Pao and HUI Pao-publshed in Chinese
at Shanghai. The Shen Pao has daily
circulation averaging $4,000 to $4,000
copies. During the Franco-C Chinese war,
its articles being written by patriotic
Chinese to suit the popular taste, the cir
culation increased to IS, 600 copies daily.
Cheap as the paper is Qess than a half
penny, it is often sold after perusal,
sometimes changing hands more than
once during the day, and it is then
bought by Chinese postoffice employees,
who send it to the interior where steam
ers cannot reach. The circulation of
the Hu Pao is also stated to be consider
able, especially in this province. Both
these newspapers, although owned by
foreigners, are, we are assured, bona
tide organs of educated Chinese public
opinion. In international questions they
do not always take the foreign side, but
their influence, Mr.. Hughes tells us. is
on the whole exerted in favor of progress
and civilization News.

Talking of the Jaeger system, DR.. R.
G. Rutherford said: THE spread of DR..
Jaeger's sanitary ideas in this country
has been little short of miraculous. OF
course, years ago, the theory had been
advanced by others that the most health
full raiment was that woven from animal
fiber, bat Jaeger was the first to enthusi-
astically work out this theory in its practi-
cal details. myself, for two years, have
worn nothing, save collars and cuffs, that
is not of pure wooden material, and l
have derived appreciate benefit from it.
The main reliance of the system is on
the indisputable fact that it is the prop
erty of animal tibers to exhale and diff
fuse all excretions of the body with
which they may become impregnated,
while cotton, linen or silken fabrics re-
tain them for an indefinite period. I'm
derwear of absolutely unadulterated wool
needs to be washed but seldom. Simply
hanging it in an air current suffices to
render it pure and sweet. On the other
hand, if you leave clean and newly
washed linen or cotton garments In
drawer they will absorb the almost i'm
perceptible odorS of the atmosphere. and
in short time need what the house
keepers call a good airing before they
can be used. THE Epoch.

The school treats are one of the nice

children came in the care of their teach

of the parish. A generous lunch was
provided, and it was nice to see the
hostess and bevy of pretty young
women, with big white housekeeping
aprons on, busily employed in spreading
butter, making sandwiches or cutting up
big masses of wholesome cake.

A Very Peculiar Ailment.

No complaint is SO common among
the negroes as that of palate down
an ailment which regular practitioners
do not recognize. This is speedily cured.
The patient, after swallowing large doses
of salt water, seats himself upon the
floor; his medical adviser searches dill
gently for the lock of hair growing in
the center of the crown; finding it, he
gives pull, a mighty pull, brings the
palate into position, and the lock of hair
often entirely out. After having once
undergone this ordeal of ''pallit raisin )"
the patient rarely has return of the
malady.-Harper.s Bazar. G

Mental and Bodily overwork.

The London Lancet says that mental
and bodily overwork is the most general
and the least regarded form of illness in
this age. Its treatment requires that due
attention be paid to the two great essen
tials Of timely rest and wholesome diet.
A man, SAYS The Lancet, may work on
a liberal scale, provided he will interrupt
its continuity by timely and adequate in
tervals of rest, and will eat heartily Of
plain food. So long as appetite and sleep
are unimpaired, there is little danger Of
overwork, but the failure of either is ma
lures warning signal that the strain must
be relieved. Youths Companion.

1t is no use asking me for the secrets
of making the eyes bright. know them,
but they are dangerous, and as modera-
ton in the use of any Domestic is I'M
known to women who adopt such things,
they had better remain secret. The only
harmless things for the purpose are the
juice of the herb euphrasy or eyebright
dropped in the eye, or a spoonful of roast
coffee chewed for the juice alone. This
brightens the eyes for an evening, and is
useful to keep watchers wide awake
nights. But it must not be used often
or it affects the heart. Pure blood and
thorough circulation, with unobstructed
functions, will secure glowing eyes of a
dark shade of their natural color, chang
ing gooseberry eyes to luminous dark
gray. Walking a mile briskIy against

brighten the eyes, whose beauty all de-
pend on a right circulation of the blood,

Freshmen at Vassar have easier times

to, for they are girls and etiquette rules
Every girl in the college early in the
school year goes forth on certain after
moons, card case in hand, to call upon
the freshmen or other newcomers in her

In either case the card must be returned

presses for Young Princesses.

The common sense idea Of dressing
children with a view to their health
rather than their looks has received a
noteworthy exemplifcation at the hands
of their highnesses of Spain. Some
dresses recently made for the young
princesses were simple little frocks OF
French muslin, pure white, with tucks
above the hem and rows of perpendicular
insertion above that. The bodices were
of a piece with the skirts, which were
provided with invisible tucks to let them
down as the children grow.-Chlcago
