An Asylum That Collect. stamps.

There Is an asylum for orphan girls In
Locle. Switzerland, which finds mar
ket for all the old postage stamps sent to
it. Nearly everybody far and near nc.
quainted with the fact sends to the asy-
INN his or her second hand stamps, and
for the information of those who are ig-
norant circular ii issued calling for the
contribution Of stamps and also setting
forth the uses to which they are APP
piled. Rare stamps of course go to
dealers or collectors, while the common
or sorts are applied to decorative pur-
poses. being used to ornament screens,
shades, etc, and even, so says the circu-
lar, to paper rooms. The circular does
not say how the American green stamp
of the past can be used for decoration.
Over million Of stamps were received
by the institution from all over the
world in 1888. and considerably larger
number in 1850. The stamps are assert
ed by the children and put mp in pack
ages of 80 or 100 each. Those collected
in 1888 were sold for 1900 francs, or
$40, and those Of 1889 for $3.50. This
may not seem much to Americans, but
money goes further in Switzerland than

From Carl Corner, grand master OF
the \. o. u. w. i'll North and South
Dakota, it was learned that the ORDER
throughout his jurisdiction is in an
especially encouraging condition.
There are about 5000 members in the
two states; new lodges are being
instituted and the membership p rapidly
increased. He believes that when the
grand lodge meets III Sioux Falls in
next May the total membership will
not fall short Of 1000, if indeed it does
not exceed that number. Financially
the order is in excellent condition
The grand lodge is out of debt and has
considerable money in ITS treasury
With but two or three exceptions the
subordinate lodges are in equally as
good shape. Assessments are fewer
than in older states, the death rate
being much smaller. All assessments
are met promptly and fully. All
things considered, Mr.. Gerner believe;
