Design for . national stamp.

A well-known Washington news
paper man wants the two cent postage
stamp made in the likeness Of "Old
Glory" He has travelled q good deal
in out Of the way parts Of the country,
and stoutly maintains that in many Of
these places the flag is practically I'M
known. He thinks that this appalling
state Of affairs could best be remedied
by making every letter carry the Stars
and Stripes. There is much to be urged
in favor Of his plan. The postal SER
vice penetrates to the uttermost back
woods, and the two cent stamp is prob
ably the most universally familiar OBJ
iect in the country. II there are Ameri-
cans SO benighted as not to know the
National standard when they see il,
the red, white and blue postage stamp
would no doubt familiarize them with
it in the shortest possible time.-Ex.

He Takes More Than He Can Read.

An exchange says: " Every news
paper man has some time in his bust
ness experience met the man who
takes more papers than he can read.
He was in town last week. He paid
twenty-five cents for an almanac, wiped
his nose on an awning, tried to blow
out an electric light, put a nickel in the
slot at the postofiice and reared be-
cause the mail did not appear, wanted
to kick the cashier OF the bank because
il closed at 4 o'clock, and watched the
sign over a iewelry store, looking for it
to strike"

stallion Flights.

Stallion fights are not uncommon on
the pastures OF Chincoteague island,
where some hundreds Of ponies run
wild. Each full-grown stallion leads a
band Of mares and colts. As the young
stations approach full growth they are
the objects Of jealousy on the part Of
their elders. and SO frequent and saw
age are the fights that the older stall
lions must after a few years be removed
from the pasture. The stations of the
Chincoteague breed are considerably
heavier than the mares and very
sturdy. They are excellent swimmers,
and they sometimes swim narrow
arms of Chincoteague sound to islets
where the marsh grass is especially
rich and vivid.-N. Y. Sun.

Never since the town was a town have
there been so many pocket timepieces

That IL Must he Prohibited.

BERLIN, Oct 3i.-The prohibition
against the landing Of American cat
tie and American dressed meat,
announced by q decree Of
the Hamburg senate last Saturday,
was extended to-day to every port OF
Germany. Interviews with the Off
Gals of the interior department, Of
the Prussian husbandry department
and Of the German foreign offices
would seem to show that the prohi-
bition is Of n preventive nature and
the action OF individual German
states.
The foreign office officials state that
the prob bit,on is no affair OF theirs,
rs the measures adopted are purely
administrative and sanitary and that
they strictly belong to each German
state. The empire, rs such. has not
taken any steps to prohibit the
landing of American cattle or
American meat. The OFFICIALS Of
the interior department say that the
importation of cattle from America
suffering from Texas fever has been
clearly proved and that tn M ,nsures
taken nre purely OF preventive ma
ture such rs each German state is en-
titled to exercise through its police
authority within its own territory.
