Making Stamps Rare.

A Brussels stamp collectors paper
asserts that a certain Don Juan
Cardillas, in Montevideo, who had
been collecting the blue postage
stamps of . centimes with the figure
of General Santos, issued in Uruguay
in 1888, for long time and had pur-
chased about 100, 600 OF these stamps
for the sum Of $4,000 francs, lately
called together all the members Of
the society Of postage stamp col
lectors and asked them whether they
knew OF a means OF making postage
stamps rare. On their replying that
they knew OF none, he struck match
and set on fire all the stamps he had
collected, which he kept in a wire

QUEER NESTS FOR DUCKS.
Made OF Rushes and Hung on Poles In
the Marshes.

The water-fringed village of Grouw.
in Friesland, north Holland, is remark
able for two things-cheese and ducks.
The lakes which fringe the village on
three sides are thick with bulrusheS
and water grass, and afford excellent
cover for wild ducks and other aquatic
fowls. To promote the comfort of the
former and at the same time facilitate
the collection of their eggs the vii
ayers construct nests made of plated
PUSHES and hung on poles driven into
the soil or perched between the forks
OF trees Above each coterie the own
err of the nests fixes pieces of colored
cloth, which enable him to readily
distinguish his nests from those of his
neighbors.
These bits of bunting are useful also
to the birds, who invariably keep to
their own nests. The owner goes eacl
morning in his boat to the nesting
ground, thrusts his arm into the bot
tle-shaped nests, and collects theil
contents for the market.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

From the Christian Evangelist.
Samuel Gompers, the labor leader,
showed his knowledge Of human ma
ture in his testimony before the in
vestigating commission at Chicago.
He said: 81 do not believe any one
plan can solve the labor problem.
Wage workers are just like other
persons; they will always ask for
more, no matter how much they are
getting. A man earning 81 day
will be satisfied while with e1.10 q
day. A man who earns % day will
not be satisfied with an increase Of
10 cents; he will want 1925 or $3.50
a day. II he earns $1,000 q year he
will want an increase of $1,000 q
year, and II he gets $500, 900 he will
want the EARTH" Capital is selfish;
SO is labor. Capital wants all 1t can
get; SO does labor. Capital is never
satisfied with its profits; mel her is
labor. "Man never is, but always to
be blessed" So long as selfishness
exists, just so long will there be dis
putes between capital and labor.

EVENING COLORS.

From Harper's Weekly.
Just at sunset an impressive cere-
mony takes place on board man Of
war. 1t is the reverse of that which
occurs in the early morning. The
hauling down of the colors bids good
by to the day of work, as the raising
greeted it some hours before. The
band takes it's place aft on the quar-
ter deck, if the ship carries a band,
and if she does not, the ships drum
mers and buglers sound the evening
color salute as the bunting comes
down on deck. All hands face aft
and salute the flag, even the men
idling about off watch spring to their
feet at attention. At the minute the
flag comes down up goes the anchor
light, IL the ship is in port, and soon
the smoking lamp is lit after supper,
and Jackie has a recess which he
greets much in the same way that a
schoolboy greets the rest between
his study hours. In ev ry navy OF
the world this same tribute of even
ing colors is paid to the flag. In fact,
of necessity, much of shipboard
routine must be the same, as the
modern ships of every nation are
built to fight other vessels of their
class, chase those that are smaller,
and run away from those of heavier
metal. When vessels of war of many
nations were in our harbor during
the Columbian celebration "colors''
was most interesting sight--the
music of half dozen national airt
floated out, and as many national en-
signs came down on deck together
Even the visitor on board ship in
sensibly feels himself influenced By
the inspiriting surroundings, ant
bares his head. There is much goci
in ceremony, after all.

those utterances or happy express.
sions DIS they may be called, are rare.
There are no striking instances Of
these recorded as coming from either
Washington, the Adamses, Monroe,
Polk, Tyler, Fillmore, Pierce, Blu.
chanan, johnson, Hayes, Arthur, or
either of the Harrisons. r
We are not perfectly sure, but we
believe that Jefferson said: eve
are all republicans, we are all feder-
alists." Considering Mr.. Jefferson's
philosophical habit and his volumi-
nous writings, 1t is somewhat to be
wondered at that he has left no re-
markable expression, political or
otherwise.
Andrew Jackson may not be fairly
considered In the list either, although
his favorite oath, "By the eternal"
Is familiar and Is used more or less
by latter day stump speakers.
One Of the finest phrases uttered
By any American and one which is
always kept in stock BY speakSfS
and writer's is Martin Van Buren's
"the sober second thought It has
strength, ALTERATION and certain
fine meaning that will ever make it
applicable.
1t has long been received and be-
lieved that General Zachary Taylor
said to Captain Braxton Bragg-af-
terwards the noted confederate gen.
eral-at Buena Vista, "a little more
grape, Captain Bragg" but the cruel
iconoclasts now affirm that Taylor
never gave any such command, and
we must accept this "higher criti-
cism" in profane as in scriptural
affairs, or be regarded as behind the
times.
Lincoln has left rich legacy of
popular and striking expressions, to
be found in his public addresses,
campaign speeches and messages.
One Of the most noteworthy and
beautiful is "With charity to all;
malice toward none.n
AS soldier General Grant assisted
in immortalizing himself by his ia
nous saying: 81 propose to fight 1t
out on this line il it takes all sum-
mer;" and as president by giving
utterance to that lofty sentiment:
"Let us have peace"
President Garfield, who was per-
haps the most scholarly and accom-
plished man who ever occupied the
White House, uttered magnificent
phrase on memorable occasion. In
attempting to quiet a mob in New
York City when Lincoln was assassi.
mated he declared in stentorian tones
which had 9 msEiss::aa ansnJ at WASH
ington still lives!"
Cleveland has coined many nota-
BILE expressions. As phrase mon
ger he stands unequaled by any Of
his predecessors. "Tell the TRUTH"
"inocuous desuetude;" and in his
recent letter accompanying the en-
actment OF the new tariff bill into
law, communism OF pelf."
