How STAMINA Are Sold.

Now, to sell them, they make up pack

all the way from ten cents TO $50 perhaps.
A seventy-fve cent package, maybe, Will
contain sixty foreign stamps of different
countries, and will be un attractive invest
ment for a person just beginning to col

chiefly Tor beginners, because collectors of
long standing would get too many dupl-
Gates by purchasing them. The dealer adj
vertises the packages and other stock on
hand, particularly rare specimens, in the
stamp magazines and elsewhere.
Likewise he issues catalogues and price
lists. Approval sheets he always has ready
to send out. These are sheets of paper on
which a certain number of select stamps
Of the rarer sort are stuck. An application
for approval sheets reaches the dealer from
a collector and, if he has reason to enter

Camping On the veranda.

One of the most delightful "reminiscences
of my last summer in the country was the
summer room which my friend fashioned
on the wide veranda of her cottage. She
painted the floor a dark drab, which is bet
ter than any deeper color for the floor of
the porch or veranda, because it does not
show the dust, and dust is one of the de-
lights Of summer day. A breadth of
fancy straw mating was fastened up
against the wall of the house and along
the ratings for dado. Above this, against
the house, hung a few sketches in black
and white and water cOlors in plain oak
bands, bark and rustic frames to harmonic
with the surroundings. This cottage, by the
way, was painted the new shade kno8n as
''EifTel Tower" which has almost silvery
cast in some lights, and made an admirable
background.
A hammock was hung across one cor
ner; a bamboo couch, one or two wicker
chairs, a rocker and a couple Of hassocks
promised luxury either sitting or lying.
The hammock and couch were furnished
with pine needle and rose leaf pillows COW
cred with bright chirt2, and these, with
the breath Of the woods and spring upon
them, made repose delight. = paper rack
and a set of bamboo book shelves served
to hold such papers and books as were used
from time to time AS this was mos
quito region the veranda was inclosed
with wire netting There were adjustable
awnings to protect this room" from sun
or rain. Rugs were brought out and
placed about, and it was here, in prefer
ence to any other part of the house, that
the gentlemen lOunged or smoked or read
aloud and the ladies sewed or made rick
rack all through that memorable summer.

How to Save Boys.

Women who have sons to rear, and
dread the demoralizing Influences of bad
associates, ought to understand the nature
of young manhood It Is excessively rest
less. 1t is disturbed by vain am bition, by
thirst for action, by longings for excite
ments, by irrepressible desires to touch
life in manifold ways. If you, mothers,
rear your sons so that your homes are as
sociated with the repression OF natural in
stincts you will be sure to throw them in
the society that in any measure can supply
the end Of their hearts They go to the
public house at first for the animated and
hilarious companionship they find there,
which they find does so much to repress the
disturbing restlessness in their breasts.
See TO it, then, that their homes com
pete with public places in their attractive
ness. Open your blinds by day and light
bright fires by night. Illunine your rooms.
Hang pictures upon the walls. Put books
and newspapers upon your tables. Have
music and entertaining games. Danish de-
mons of d1llness and apathy that have so
long ruled in your household, and bring in
mirth and good cheer. Invent occupations
for your sons. Stimulate their ambitions
in worthy directions. While you make
home their delight, fill them with higher
purposes than mere pleasure. Whether
they shall pass happy boyhood and enter
upon manhood with refined tastes and no
BILE ambitions depends on you.-Ram' s

This time, Miss Reader, we will not try

tell me, Miss Reader, how the ladies behave

women. Just read these lines, which l re-
ceived yesterday from one Of the most
charming women whom have the pleas
ure of knowing: MY experiences with
Boston women to whom have been intro
duced have been very charming in most
cases; but my experiences in shops, cars and

Gel that she had been downtown to buy /
saw it fall and touched her and told her
that she had dropped her parcel. But, IN
fortunately, had never been presented to
her; we had not danced together at Pa

the vigorous manner to which our friend
alludes in the letter. a good deal as if | had
struck her in the face, and in this way eX-
pressed her indignation that any man
should have addressed her who had not
the honor of her acquaintance. l am,
however, IS years old, and [ stand such
things better than boy does. So l said,
very pleasantly, you have dropped your
parcel, and it is under your feet" Again
she resented the insult with a look-not

Men to Avoid,

Don't marry a man whose friends smile
at each other when his name is mentioned
and say, well, we hope he'll come out all
right, but he's sowing few wild oats just
now" Remember that what Is sown be
fore marriage is reaped after marriage.
1t will be very awkward for you to be
obliged to reap that crop one of these days,
and if you marry him you viii have the
most of it TO gather in.
Don't marry a man whose linen is more
spotIess than his character, whose shirt
collar is. moro infeHbie than his integrity,
and whose necktie IS the only immaculate
thing about him. Collars and cuffs and
neckties are all very well, but they do not
make up good husband, though they do

This was taking the bull by the horns
with vengeance. Nelson's training had
been on the deck of s. man-o'-war, where
discipline is the first law and insubordina-
ton crime to be met with instant snuff

Neat Ways of BIending.

An ugly tear in a prominent spot on a
good dress is not at all an uncommon mis-
fortune First mend it. Do this, not with
silk, cotton or linen spool thread, but with
threads raveled from piece Of the dress
goods. If there are no pieces of the cloth
in existence IA FL off threads enough from
a long seam. Darn the tear upon the right
side in stocking fashion, darning over, not
under, the raw edges, and press upon the
wrong side. Often a Encouragement of the
drapery will hide hole in the skirt; some
times if well repaired it will not be notice
able, though in sight, but if it chances to
be in plain view, say in the middle Of the
box plat down the front of ones skirt, it
is still not crying matter.
Replait the front, turning the plaits in
the opposite direction, or put row of silk
or velvet ribbon down the center Of each
plat, or applied ornaments of giInps or
beeds, etc, or have ribbon loops and ends
fall from the bodice over the offending
spot; one loop can be tackled at some dis
tance from the end, so it will not look stiff,
to keep it in place over the mended place

What a Pretty Arm Is Like.

The smoke of the fight about the decol-
lette bodice has never enveloped the arm
Annie Jenness Miller says that If a wom-
ans arm IS pretty she should give its
sRapehness frankly to the world; if it is
not pretty she should study sleeves. The
ideal arm hasa beauty of a wholesome, al
most of a pastoral order; it bears showing.
1t is clear skinned and rounded, and there
is gracious dimple just at tbs side of the
elbow. The skin is soft, but the flesh is
firm. Beneath its smooth contour it is in
stinct with the strength that supports a
tired child. 1t is a blemish if the lines are
so full as to suggest the seragio rather
than the green felds-Cor. Louisville Cou-

The greatest general of the ball field. the

Captain Arson, of the Chicagos. comes
pretty near filing the bill"
Mr.. Schmelz did not exaggerate ons
whit. Arson is the terror of all pitchers,
and if they can help it few Of them will let
him hit the ball if there are men on bases
and hit means victory for Chicago. He
is not batsman of the Brouthers stripe,
depending on good eve and great strength,
although he Is literally endowed with both
Arson is a scientific place hitter, and gen
orally knows where the ball viii go when
he hits it. He is a perfect specimen Of
physical manhood, is Six feet two inches in
height, weighs about go pounds, and when
he hits the ball the fur flies His forte is
his great reliability in time of need, his
steady nerve and rare good Judgment
when the game is trembling in the balance.
In that respect he is head and shoulders
above any other player in the League
Capt. Arson stands with his feet rather
closely together, his left leg slightly in the
lead. Tightly grasping his bat-and he
uses one so heavy that few Of the boys can
swing it-he taps the home plate twice
from force of habit, hoists it up TO his
shoulder, but does not permit it to sink
over his back, and then coolly and calmly
waits for the ball he has determined TO hit.
His favorite ball is just at the shoulder,
and the way he can rip the cover of a ball
at that height is terror TO his opponents,
but he can hit any kind Of ball, either
low or high.
Anson's batting position and average
since the organization of the league are: In
1876, fifth, 3S4; 1877, fourth, 1856; 1878,
fifth, 1856; 1879, first, .407; 1880, second. S3S;

Arson has played 1907 games; has been to
the bat sac times, and has made 1,99s
base hits, with grand percentage of
fourteen years work of $50. The only man
who excels this record is Dan" Brouthers,
and he has only played ten seasons. Since
Arson has been connected with the Chi
cago club it has won the championship six
times.
