Hunting For an Old Man.

In the biography of DR.. Norman Mac
Leod there is an amusing account given
of visit he paid to one of the Western
islands to see a man who was celebrated
in the district for his great age. The
doctor found an old man 1--WE can only
quote from memory sitting on bench
outside the house and gave him the usual
greeting, II heard that you were very
wonderful old man, and I've come to see
you" It'll be my father you want to
see said the old man of the bench. Sc
the visitor went inside, and there, sit
ting over the peats, was very old man
indeed. bent and doubled up, but still,
for all that, with all his wits about him
Good day to you," said the good doc
tor. Il have heard about you, very
wonderful old man, and I've come to see
you" Then he, too, declined the impu-
tation and pointed with his stick to the
"ben" of the house. It'll be my father
you want to see," said this old man of
the fireside. So there in the "ben" the
original Simon Pure was discovered at
last, very. very ancient old man in
deed, as may well be imagined.-Mac-
millan's Magazine.

POSTOFFICE MATTERS.
Spectators buying Up the Columbian
Stamps.

Spectators buying Up the Columbian
Stamps.
Columbian stamps are becoming more
valuable than gold or diamonds Since
the order was issued stopping the issue of
any more stamps of that kind, collectors
of stamps and spectators have been gath
erlng all the sets possible. All over the
country wherever IL postoffice is liable to
have these stamps Ose SPECTATORS have
purch them right and left The local
office had an unusual amount on hand and
the constant drainage by these stamp
iends has reduced the lot to very few.
Only the other day Spectator in Boston
bought all the fifteen cent stamps in the
local office, some 500 in number There
now remains about $1,000 two cent
and 1000 eight cent Columbian stamps.
The first will be used up in about three
weeks. while the eight cent stamps will
last much longer. The reason of the de-
mand is that sets from one cent up to SIS,
which now cost face value, $16.23, will
bring in few weeks $50 and later 500.
If person had thought of this in time, by
the purchase of several dozen sets he could
make small fortune.
Postmaster Fitzpatrick asks as a favor of
people who have their mail delivered that
they provide some receptacle, box or some
thing else, where the mail can be left. 1t
is hard on the carriers when they are linn
tied to eight hours, especially during this
warm weather. to have to wait to or three
minutes at a door with mail. The boys in
gray are accommodating and usually good
natured but when the hot sun is pouring
down on them, and the housekeeper wants
to finish her work before answering the
call, they are apt to lose patience. Dogs
sometimes do not like the color of their
trousers and too long a delay means a
scramble to save their clothing from de-
struction

A Scene In a Maine Town.

One of Caribou's popular young bust
ness men was in Buckfeld recently with
his bride. and when about leaving town,
just before the train started, the bride
discovered that she had left one of her
wraps behind A messenger was dis
patched in haste to bring the garment
and the conductor very kindly held the
train. The messenger arrived. and the
conductor. impatiently waiting for the
couple to enter the car, saw them start
on a mission among their many relatives,
and then remarked that unless his train
started at once he would be obliged to
claim kiss from the bride. The happy
young married married man heard the
remark and hustled his bride on the car
while his relatives and many friends
shook their handkerchiefs and hands as
the door closed and the train pulled out
from the station. (Me) Re

IMPROVING ON NATURE.
From Japan Comes a New Method OF Max
ing Furs Ready to Wear.

From Japan Comes a New Method OF Max.
ing Furs Ready to Wear.
A Japanese gentleman has perfected
q new process for furs, called the fur
transferring process, by which the ordi-
nary skin is entirely removed, the fur
alone remaining, each individual hair
being attached to flexible fabric. The
advantages claimed for this process are
that the furs are much softer and more
pliable than ordinary skins, that they
are entirely free from any unpleasant
odor, and so far from being injured from
being wetted they can be washed in hot
water and dried like blankets. 1t is also
said that the fur will not come out by
use, as the hairs hold much closer than
when implanted in the original skin.
All kinds of fur can be thus transferred
from the skin ON which they grew on to
a close and durable fabric.
The method of this transfer is at first
sight rather difficult to grasp. 1t is OBJ
vious that each individual hair cannot
be transferred singly, but that the whole
must be done at once. The nature of the
process, however, may be very easily
indicated. The original skin, from what
ever animal it may have been obtained,
is placed with the fur downward, in
contact with the an adhesive surface,
to which the hairs become so strongly
attached that the skin may be laid hold
of and absolutely torn or stripped away,
leaving the fur attached to the cement,
and so perfectly is this accomplished that
the skins themselves are capable of be-
ing utilized for leather.
The next step of the process is the
covering of the roots with another adhe-
sive material, by which they are &C.
mented to q close woven fabric. Thus
it will be seen that the external portion
of the fur is tightly held by the first &C.
ment to which it was attached, while
the roots of the hairs are closely cement
ed to the fabric which has been placed
upon them. In the process of manufac-
ture all that is now necessary is to lOOs-
en- the attachment of the hairs to the
cement on which they were first placed,
when the whole of the fur i'll its original
position is obtained, only ccmented to
the flexible fabric i'll lieu of the original
skin
The result is undoubtedly most sue
cessful. 1t is difficult to imagine a soft
er fur than that which is obtained

Crow Quilts Make the Best Pens.

A quill penmaker says that no pen
will do as fine writing as the crow quill
1t requires the assistance of microscope
to make proper pen out of such a quill
but when made it is of wonderful deli
cacy. The microscopic writing told Of
in books of literary curiosities was all
done with crow quill. The steel pens
of the present have very fine points, but
somehow finer point can be given to a
quill than has ever been put on a steel
pen, and for delicacy nothing can equal

afford it. and save money:
The sharp advance in wheat last week led
to heavy buying of flour both in home and
foreign markets,
This reaction was largely caused by the
oversold condition of speculative markets,
Parties who had long been active bears" re-
allied the danger of being short at any
thing like present figures in view of the fact
that weather conditions throughout the
wheat belt have lately been unfav0rable.
Other strengthening influences were very
large decreases both in the visible supply
of wheat in America and the amount of wheat
on passage" to Europe from all over the
world.
The sharp decline in the gold premium in
the Argentine raised the cost OF delivering
that wheat in Europe. and caused quick adj
vance in English and Continental quota
tions.
The government crop report for May indi-
Gates the following results in round num-
berS:
Acreage, winter wheat. % mil. Yield. win
ter wheat, 27S mil.
Acreage, spring wheat. 10 MIL Yield. spring
wheat. 1856 mil. Total crop. winter and spring
wheat 413 million bushels,
This is considerably below the average of
the past ten years,

There was shooting ARRAY on the
Ceur d Alene Indian reservation eight
niles from Latah on Wed, esdaY of last
Fak in which Nais, son of "Spotted-
Lion" received a wound that NAV prove
fatal. The circumstances are as follows
Nais has the reputation of being a bad
Indian and furthermore is very much
opposed to white men working on the
reservation, Two men named Coonce
ana Kiele had gone there for that pur-
pose and when Nais saw them pass his
house he grabbed an axe and followed
them on horse back. When he over
took them he struck at CoOnce, barely
missing his face. Coonce drew his gun
and shot him. Both Coonce and Kiele
have left the country under the impress
sion that the Indian is dead.
