A Three Cent St.1,u Worth 500.

In 1916, while awaiting supplies from
the department at Washington, the
Postmasters of certain cities were au-
thorized to issue stamps temporarily.
Among others so issued was the Post
master at Brattleboro. Eight hundred
stamps were printed, and of these one
half were burned, Collectors have been
in search of some of these stamps, and
it was considered hopeless matter to
procure one of them One collector,
however, who was shrewder than the
rest, instituted a search for the en-
graver, whom he found residing in
Springfield, and he had still remaining
seven OF the precious squares, which
he disposed of to the collector for rs
cents each, beside furnishing indubita-
BILE proof of the genuineness of the issue,
the very existence of which was
doubted The fact of the purchase
leaked out, and dealer offered 81
apiece for six of the seven. This was
refused by the original purchaser, who
demanded five times that sum, and be-
fore the money reached him, although
it was sent with promptitude, he hac
an offer of SO apiece. Being an hon
est man, he stuck to his first offer, an6
parted with six for $50. The mos
precious of the lot, which bore the Ell
graver's name, he retained possession
of, and this one he sold for $l00.-Bos

And Mabel went away.
About half an hour later came q
timid little knock at the door, and
Mabel, as white as her white robes,
came in ooh, may | sleepwith you?'
she said entreatingly: Il cannot sleep

my life. Milly was always there, for |

much braver.'
''Poor little thing" said Lady Grisel;
eyes, you shall sleep with me-
81 cannot help fancying mine might
be the room where EVAN died" said
Mabel, shivering; and that his wife
might come in and upbraid him there. "
Mabel was soon asleep but Lady
Grisel lay long awake thinking sadly.
She felt as q gardener might feel who
had some strange exotic lntrusted to
his care, and no means Of warming and
fostering it. She looked down on

her dreams she was a child again.
'Poor wee thing, she is only a child
nova little soft young thing" she
said to herself; chow could her mother
have sent her away SO soon?"
Far away in Badfeld, Lady Armine
was thinking the same thing; that she
had been wrong in allowing Mabel to
leave her so soon; and that whatever
Lord Armine might urge about the
ten children, the expensive eldest son,
and the excellence of a match, should
not induce her to part with Mildred SO
soon. But Thomme propose, ct Dieu
dispose. Jack Lee Aston had arrived
at Badfeld, and, after all, Mildred was
far older and more developed in
mind than her hearts darling, Mabel.

Corn Leaves and Roots

Whoever looks at field Of grow
ing corn will see in the way its leaves
shed the water how and where culti-
Walton and manure are needed. All
the rain that falls on the corn is
conducted by its leaves outside the
hill, and after the plant is eighteen
inches high, into the middle of the
row. Here you will find nearly all
the feeding roots, and if there are
FREQ uent rains they will be near the
surface. Hence to run a shovel pillow
through the rows breaks up this feed
ing ground Of the roots, and places il
where NO rains can reach it, and
where there are comparatively few
roots

This lis u Hint.

'These potatoes are not half done"
was the impatient exclamation of the
farmer as he sat down to the mid
day meal "Well," was the calmly
exasperating reply Of the wife who
had cooked the meal, 81 used
every stick Of wood in the wood
shed to cook this dinner, and if it
isn't done you know why 1t was
because there wasn't enough wood
to cook dinner with" There was no
lack Of wood properly sawed and
split for use by that household for a
good while after this incident from
real life. 1t is our belief that coal is
largely used for winter fuel because
the class Of careless, go-easy farmers
do not make as good provision for
summer hrewood as they used to do.
Then they had to bestir themselves
in winter to cut and split wood TO keep
the stoves and tiYeplaces running to
warm the house. Now thev use lit
tie wood, except for kindling, in win
ter, and the habit of sittir4E by Win
ter fires, either at home or at the
village grocery, is apt to grow when
once formed. 1t is not Woman'S
place to cut and split wood for house
hold use, and in the households
where they have to do this they
usually have far more Of Woman's
work indoors than one woman is able
to do

Jack Lee Aston tapped at one of the
windows of tho BELLEVUE chalet, and
begged for admittance. Mrs. Lowell
was just making preparations to move,
and Jack lent strong arm to help to
wheel her ont into her customary place
in the Vcranda.

Cheap Hog Houses.

We do not believe it necessary TO
make expensive hog houses, says an
agricultural Exchange. II they are
warm in winter and cool in summer,
and have enough flooring for the pigs
to stand on while eating from their
trough, the pigs will do as we'll as in
a house costing 5000 or $500. A
house rooted and partly under ground
answers this demand. Hogs like a
cool place in summer, and a ground
floor if frequently changed is better
for them than is plank floor.

LoSDoN, Dec 30--T'hc Times today pub
fishes the following dispatch from Rio de
Janeiro:
During the past week the custom house
has been closed on account of the firing
from Cobras island. The government
forts continue pounding Fort Villegaig-
non. The rumor of naval fight near
Destcrro is not true. The Tiradentes and
Bahia arc now nc Montevideo. The
Aqnidaban and the iepablea are at Des-
ierro. General Salgado with 1000 men
arrived at Desterro on Wednesday from
the south.
Ndmiraf ffa Cana has withdrawn his
force sfrom Governors island: he states
that the number OF men he can dispose of
Is not sufficient 90 occupy such n large
island, and he prefers TO concentrate his
forces on board the ships. From forts
Cobras and Yillegaignon the insurgents
continue firing upon the shore front, rem
dering communication between the
merchant shipping and the shore

How II Looks ut Rio.
The present situation Is as follows; Ad-
miral Da Gama's forces number 1900 men,

In check by hnrrassing the troops on the

gents from the south, and then attack
norihward. If Da Cana IL able to hold
out until the arrival Of tha insurgent re-
endorsements he will probably meet with
success. The present position Of the in
surgents at Rio de Janeiro ia extremely
critical. Without aid Admiral Da CANA
cannot hold out. The government will
await the arrival OF the new ships, and
attack in force, opening fire with al the
shore artillery. and using every effort to
crush Admiral Da CANA.
The result OF the revolution greatly de-
pends upon the advance OF the insurgents
during the next 10 days.
Advces from the south state that In
surgent General Saraiva has defeated 200O
men under General Lima on the frontier
OF Parana and that he is now pursuing
them.
