One cannot look into a slatloncrs

sale. These are Of all kinds and de
nominations, from the full set Of the.
Provisional Government issue to a
single stamp with the Legendary in
scription of Price $2o' on IT, Some
of the earlier issues Of the kameha
mehas are very rare and cannot be
obtained for love or money For in
stance, all of the old numerals" as
they are termed by collectors, are very
valuable. These were the first stamps
issued in the Islands, and have large
figures in the center with rectangular
borders. The thirteen cent stamp
of this issue is catalogued at Sroo, and
the set at $1,000. Stamp catalogues
are issued by many large dealers in
England and the continent annually in
which every stamp that is known is
described and valued. All Of the old
"numerap issue are very expensive
now. A full set of the present issue
of surcharged stamps, which includes
every stamp issued since 1860, can be
bought for Sc, while the same set
without the Provisional Government
surcharge on it can be bought for much
less. These sets include stamps worth
from one cent to one dollar The
increased price is due to the scarcity Of
the cent vermiliun and the I2-Cent
mauve stamps which have entirely run
out, and can no longer be obtained at
the post Office. The single cent yer
million not surcharged is worth twenty
FIVE cents, with the Provisional Govern
ment endorsement on it it is worth
S. Is. The IL cent mauve surcharged
is worth S., plain about fifty cents.
These are the only two varieties that
were scarce when the Provisional Gov
eminent ordered the stamps reprinted.
The stock of stamps on hand last
January was about 100000 OF all
kinds, enough to last long time yet
plenty of 2-cent stamps of later issue
than the vermilion are still for sale.
Some dealers thought they had
struck bonanza when they found that
a few of the surcharged stamps were
minus a period and held them at
fancy prices, but the price has come
down since the discovery that one
stamp in each sheet Of fifty all through
the issue is minus the period, caused
by the breaking off of the face of the
type in printing One can buy whole
sheet at the Postoffice for less than one
dealer asks for single stamp with this
defect, but he has not got on to the
system yet Certain of the surcharged
stamps are printed with red and others
in black ink. In the printing, a few
sheets that should have been black
were printed red, and dealers were
quick to find out the mistake and buy
all there was. These are now held at
fancy figures.
There is good demand for all
kinds of Hawaiian stamps, both used
and unused, from the United States,
Australia and Europe. In fact, any
used Hawaiian stamps are worth saw
ing, as one cent each for the common
est kind is freely offered by foreign
} dealers.

rwo Afrectlonnte Friends.

Colonel D. X. Tate, of Bellefonte, owns .
COW, Daisy, and little black dog, Beaver.
between which there exists a remarkable
degree of affection. No matter where the
COW is seen or what the condition of the
weather is, Beaver is the companion of her
travels. From the time she leaves the sta
BILE in the morning until her return at
night he is playing about her. If other
cows come about while she is grazing he
quickly clears the field, and Daisy has no
fear from the stones of the small boy, for
they all respect the rights which her little
protector demands for her.
When she becomes drowsy Beaver lies
down beside her, and there he stays until
she is ready to get up. Should she decide
to stay away from home at night no bet
ter guard could she have than the little
black canine. In the stable, if it is cold, he
sleeps huddled up between her fore legs,
and when the weather is warm he makes
his bed in some part of the stall with her.
So strong is the attachment between these
two creatures that if Beaver is accident
ally locked out of the stable at night he
makes night so hideous with his mournful
howls that some one is only too glad to get
up and let him in.
The only reason which Colonel Tate as
signs for this strange affection is the fact
that when Beaver was a pup he was kept
in the stable, and unfortunate in being
born in the winter he found warm nest
near the COW. His gratitude to Daisy for
the warmth which she provided him has
prompted the devotion which he now daily
exhibits. Centre Hill (Pa.) Reporter.

The Other Mans Hat.

A very amusing incident occurred in
one Of the local churches Sunday. AS a
visitor entered the church he was shown
to seat by one of the sections, and after
seating himself quietly and placing his
hat beside him on the seat, he became an
attentive listener to the proceedings. As
time passed on, however, he became nerv-
GUS and uneasy, and reaching for his hat
was about to leave, when he was stopped
by some person, who tapped him on his
shoulder from behind. Thinking it was
the sexton who wished him to remain till
the close of the service he waited; but in .
few minutes he again reached for his hat,
and was prevented in the same manner
as before.
He now came to the conclusion that the
service must be an important one, and that
the sexton did not wish him to disturb the
proceedings in any way, so he again seated
himself. After waiting for some time
longer he resolved to leave at all hazards.
he made another grasp for his hat, and
was again tapped on the shoulder; but he
did not heed it and arose to leave, when a
voice from behind him exclaimed, 81 beg
your pardon, but that is my bat you have" "
The visitor made hasty apology, picked
up his own hat, which had fallen upon the
noor, and left, while the observers Uttered.

4 CHAPTER OF QUEER ACCIDENTS,
Perple1ities of Nearsighted Man Who
Left His Glasses at Home.

Perple1ities OF q NearSighted Man Who
Left His Glasses at Home.
A nearsighted booklleeper carelessly left
his eyeglasses at home the other morning,
and had half days experience that he
will not forget or care to repeat as long as
he lives, He was in great hurry to catch
the car, and rushed out of the house shout
ing farewell to his wife as he passed
through the door. There was a large sized
puddle in front of his residence, and the
first step that he took Off the curbstoue
was directly into it. That utterly ruined
the polish on one shoe, and imagining that
he saw a firm place ahead of bim he made
leap for that and went into the mud
with the other foot.
He narrowly escaped being run over by q
team hitched to brewery wagon, and al
most missed the rail of the car as it passed
by him. AS he scrambled to the platform
he trod heavily upon the pet buuion of a
stout old gentleman, who uttered a howl
of anguish, and turning to apologize
knocked a dinner basket out of the hand
of an office boy going to his work. When
the conductor came to collect his fare he
offered him three cent piece and then a
nickel penny. BY this time those who
were near looked pityingly upon him. He
searched through his pockets for his
glasses, and to his great annoyance discov-
cred that they were missing. There was
no help for it, and he decided to keep on to
the office and send a boy back for them.
When the car arrived at the corner of
Bank and Superior streets he hastened to
alight and almost embraced stern female,
who gave him n look that would have pet
! ritinI him pCtt Ia ba hoN 10 4
his hat and begged her pardon for the col
lision, and as he did so the conductor bent
forward to assist the lady onto the car and
Knocked the hat out Of the nearsighted
mans hand to the ground. The latter
peered blindly forward in the direction in
which he thought the hat might lie but
could not discover it. The conductor
jumped off the car, and picking up the has
restored it to its owner.
The bookkeeper reached his Office with
out any further accident He sent the
office boy to his residence for his glasses
and sat down at his desk to work as best
he could until the messenger returned. In
five minutes he had written with red ink
upon the wrong book, and rs he reached
for the eraser he knocked over another ink
bottle, and the contents thoroughly satu-
rated n pile of statements that he had spent
the entire previous day in making out
While attempting to stop the flow of ink
he daubed it upon his coat and cuffs, and
finally sat down in the corner, lit cigar,
and painted the air blue until the glasses
came with the messenger. His hurry to
catch the street car cost him about twenty
five dollars, to say nothing of wenr and
tear of nervous energy.-Cleveland Leader.

A Gorgeous Curtain.

The curtain at the English Opera house
is one of its sights. AS it hangs closed II
looks like u magnificent pair of golden
gates. twas made by Messrs. Helbronner,
of Oxford street. 1t measures thirty-three
feet high and is forty-eight feet wide. A
special wareroom had to be hired for it to
be made in. The base is gold colored silk,
on which has been worked an applique OF
a darker tone Of the same color. The ap.
plique-a forated adaptation of fruit and
foliage, pineapples and pomegranates, con-
ventionally treated-is Of the Renaissance
period, and is from n design by the archi-
tect. ingeniously carried out by Messrs.
Helbronner.
The applique is outlined by fine cord OF
silk; IA fringe with tasses dccorates the foot
of the curtain. The silk is about yard wide
and there are between five and six hun
dred yards Of it, and more than thirty gross
OF cord have been used in the curtain. The
silk was made in Lyons and the cord and
fringe in London. The lining is OF yellow
sateen, and the substance Of the curtain is
obtained by layers Of waddng. The valance
is also applique work in bright reds, blues,
yellows and browns, and has been carried
out by the same embroderers. s.-Pall Mall
