CANCELLED POSTAGE STAMPS.
Many Arc sent to Germany and Are UseA
In Decoration aud in PnperIng Rooms.

This country contributes some thou
sand dollars worth of material yearly
to the promotion of n fad long prevail
ing in Germany. The rage for col
Letting postage stamps, commo
enough here, is much more widespread
in Germany, and for some time past
collectors have been using Cancelled
stamps for decorative purposes. Mill
ions upon millions of stamps are used
annually in Germany to paper walls.
A room of moderate size may be pa
pered completely with 100, 900 stamps
of the ordinary size. Persons who in
lulge in this fancy exercise great in
genuity in the arrangement of tho
stamps, and remarkable color effects
may be produced by tasteful combi-
nations. When the stamps have been
affixed to the walls of a room. n tedious
piece of work, the whole is vanished,
in order to protect the papering from
damage.
Stamps and parts Of stamps are used
in decorating tables and cabinets.
Those who do this sort of decorating
laboriously cut Il the head of Wash
ington from the current two-ccnt
stamp and paste the little vigncttes by
the hundred upon the table or cabinet
to be decorated. Then thousands OF
the tiny figure go" are cut from tho
lower corner of the stamp and dis
posed SO as to form n border about the
repeated head of Washington. Scores
of other designs arc treated in like
fashion, and stamps of various colors
are arranged in accordance with the
taste of the decorator.
One man in Now York, not himself
a professional dealer in stamps, sends
nearly 20, 900. 00o stamps per year to .
dealer in Germany. The same dealer
has an agent in Baltimore who sends
him vastly larger quantities.
They are SEN TO the agents from all
parts of the East. Children in search
of pocket money, ome in need OF
pin money, Snnday-schools, aud chart
ties of one SORT or another collect and
send these stamps to the agents in
patches of 10000, 20, 100, $4,000, or
100, 1903. The usual price is 10 cents
per 1000, bat the red 2-cent stamps
fetch less because their dye is not
well fixed. The Columbian stamps OF
small denominations fetch 80 cents
per thousand. Rare stamps fetch
more, of course, but the German deal
CT makes no special effort to obtain
such stamps here. Many other deal
crs in Germany have long been buying
large quantities of stamps in the
United States, but as some failed to
pay for their purchase it is now a lit
tie difficult to obtain large quantities
save through resident agents. Tho
craze for stamp decorations has as yet
made small Roadway in this country,
though ut least one collector in New
York is making ready to paper his
room with stamps.-N. Y. San.

Farmer writes: Once | noticed a tur.

the ends are drawn through the twist

OF course "a woman's GROWING glory
is her hair" But how to wear that
browning glory becomingly is a problem
which comparatively few women ever
solve satisfactorily.
jus at present the fashion inclines
towards a simple mode OF wearing the
hair in front. Women strive for the
Madonna effect, by parting their front
haar directly in the middle, in many in
entirely forgetting That this
mode is one Of great severity requiring
a perfect face underneath to be worn
to advantage. Women with large,
strong features are coarsened by this
severe fashion, and it frequently gives
to women ofthe most feminine instincts
the appearance of i~ull-fedged woman
