Pcstage-stamp Curiosit es.

A certain wel.-llnown gentleman n the city owns valuable collection O. postage stamps which has taken nim twelve years to get together. My collection isn't complete" he said, witt sigh, .'and it never will be. Whyg Because it would require $l00.000 to make it so. There are about six thousand different descriptions oi postage-stamps in existence. The museum of the Berlin post-oflice alone contains between four and five thous- aud specimens, of which half are from Europe and the remainder divided be- tween Asia, Africa, America and Australia Some of the stamps bear a coat Of arms and other emblems, i'm partially borrowed from the heavens above, the earth beneath and the waters under the earth, stars. eagles, lions. horses, serpents. railway trains, dolphins and other fearful wild fowl There are, moreover, the vignette effigies of five emperors, eighteen kings. three queens, one grand duke and many presidents. Some of these stamps cannot be purchased for s5. 0Oo while others cannot be purchased for any sum. 1 tell you the fife of a stamr collector isn't unlike that of Vantalus. Cincinnati Commercial

CT closely-set gray eyes. The mouth how. ever was heavy, the jaw massive, and both seemed to indicate sullcnncss-possibly, under strong proyocation, ferocity. Not that lima, who was scarcely moro than a child, was able to anaiyze her cousins de. fecis; but she felt them instinetiyely, and, though nine people out of ten would have called Roland frank because of his blunt manner aud hearty laugh, lima did not be- lieye he was.
 "He has furtive looE," she said to her. self; "he has bad temper, too. don't think l shall like you, Roland"
 Roland however made himself very agreeable, he led the way down to tho weir, and showed lima the spot whence Zarah Heston had cast herself; but when the young Canadian went and stood fear. lessly on the dizzy platform, above tho roaring flood, the young man would have pulled her back.
 "l am never giddy," shc said smiling.- "I have stood over many fall hundreds of feet higher than this. l suppose you call it Gipsy's W cir because Zarah named it so?"
 "les, before that it was merely Scarth Abbot Weir. The lock was built in lI90 by the grandfather of Sir Philip Darrell. Old Reuben Daf, the lock-Aeeper, is a To- cal character. l don't think you would understand one word in ten of his."
 "I shall have talk with him to-mor- row." said lima, still looking down on the weir; and, as she stood there, her slen- der figure thrown out against the back ground of the hills, the soft evening breeze stirring the golden curls, she looked like . fairy, or the presiding nai~d of the Coal mere.
 Roland gazed on her admringly for q few moments before replying to her last words.
 "Perhaps Daf won't understand you either"
 .swhy! Do you say talk like foreign CT! Rose and Jamie said sos"
 "Ihey were right; you do. But come down, lima, please; you make me very giddy."
 "Do I, beg your pardon"
 She stepped aown at once, and as she did SO, door in the Mill opened, and a girl came out, and began crossing the lock- bridge.
 "Here is Zeph Heston," said Roland.-- "Now, lima, let us see if you understand herr"
 There was nothing particularly striking about the girl who now approached the cousins. She moved with certain easy grace inherent in her tribe, the character- istics which three hundred years of a sta. tionary life had not obliterated. Zeph Heston had swarthy gipsy face and black eyes, and fair share of good looks; but she was not handsome, though red ker- chief on her head, in lieu of a hat or bon- net, gave her a picturesque aspect.

Eyes Daughters, Every One


 God hath given you one face. /" cried that prig Hamlet as he railed a, Opnelia, ''and you make to yourself another You jig, you amble, you lisp, and nickname Gods creatures"
 As it was among beauties of the court of Denmark so it is with the feminine human world in our own day. The face that God hath given our charmers is not good enough for them. They offend against nature much as man does when having been equipped with beard which it was designed should grow upon his face he calls in the barber, whose razor thwarts nature. The puff-ball and the rouge-pot. the bloom of youth and the deuce knows what not in the way of creating complexions too blooming for human belief are essentials of madame's toilet. We have had re- peated statistics Of the nations yearly we pay more for beer than for bread. Just what the figures are nobody cares to remember. They are elo- quent of endless sprsaing, of countless swollen heads. and all the misery and ridiculosity of up.iness. But our follies are not all of rum ruMmy nor of the bottle brandyish. Here comes the captain of all the pharmacists de- claring right in the presence of the blooming cheek of the woman's physi- ological institute that $62. 900, 900 is an nually spent in America on 10000 different cosmetics wherewith the daughters of Hail Columbia keep them selves fresh in the remembrance Of their countrymen.
 Cold water and exercise may be had for nothing, but gentle woman, who won't assert what are said to be her ballot-box rights. spends $62 1000, 900 q year for zinc and bismuth and glycer- inc and magnesia and chalk in order to assert her right to perennial youth. The cosmetic maker. as the pharma cist shows. picks her pocket. but what does she carep She thinks she has re- ceived the worth of her s62. GOO, ,00C and is satisfied. With that $62. .000,- 900 devoted to other uses, leaving soap and water to care for lovely woman's face, what might not the woman ol America accomplish? She might con vert all tho heather in Central Africa nay, she might accomplish the greatel task of carrying sweetness and light to the heather at her own door. Wha' hospitals she might build and cndow What schools erect! What blessings scatter up and down the land'
 But God hath given her one face ant she will make to herself another. Eve commenced it and Gabriefs trumpe will discover millions of her daughters al the toilet table, rougc-pot or puff ball in hand. Chicago Times.
