oven one OF the Spreckels family being
.creoited with having purchased and laid
aside $685. G9 worth of these labels for
future profit.
It was ant .tpassQ that the provisional
government n01id be Of short duration.
and that the improvised stamps were to
have q life as short as the temporary gov.
eminent, and this led TO the scramble
for stamps, as it was presumed that they
would become exceedingly rare and val
liable.
There were 81 varieties issued, includ-
ing all the perforated stamps issued by
the Hawaiian government since 1864,
ranging in value from / cent to 81. Each
Of these was overprinted, or surcharged,
to use a philatelic term, with the words
Provisional Govt, 1898" in three lines,
each word and date taking a separate
line.
Some of. the stamps were surcharged
with black letters and others with red,
all of n denomination being overprint-
ed in the same color. But the portion of
one value, the 10 cent mauve, was sur
charged in black and the remainder in
red, there being twice as many OF the
latter surcharged as of the former. As
but q few thousands of this particular
stamp were ON hand, they were soon
bought up, and as much as $5 each was
charge. Spectators soon bought up
the supply of several of the other values,
and it was not long after the date of
their issue that a complete set Of these
stamps, which had a face value of Ga. 01.
was selling for $15.
Recently, however, some of the specH
lators have deemed it wise to unload,
and the entire set can now be purchased
for $40, still leaving a handsome profit
ON the original cost.
Recent advices from Honolulu show
that the mania for stamp collecting has
had somewhat of a sensational effect
there. f. f. Porter, a brother of the
ex-lninister of finance Of the provisional
government, wrote as follows to a friend
in this city:
"They have gone crazy on Hawaiian
stamps. Even the Chinese are in it. Isaw
by the paper last night that one Chinese
firm bought 81, ZOO worth at the post.

A FREAK or NATURE.

It IL y Calf with Two Heads and Six Feet,
and Allegheny Has 1t.
Allegheny has q monstrosity. 1t is in
the shape of a newly born calf. It is a
freak Of nature that the museum man
would be after it this morning if it were
still alive. But the calf is dead. It
died shortly after it was born. The calf
had two perfectly well developed heads,
six legs and two tails, and is q curiosity
that attracted all Allegheny that knew
about it yesterday afternoon.
The calls mother was the property OF
Herman Jacob, a dairyman, residing at
277 Madison avenue, Allegheny. He
was obliged to kill the cow before the
calf was born. After the calf died Mr..
Jacob decided to stuff the hide and keep
it as a curiosity.
So far as the heads and front part Of
the monstrosity are concerned. the calf
10 shaped and proportioned normally,
but at the shoulders the double calf Is
merged into one. with perfectly formed
hind part, with the exception Of the two
well formed tails Of equal sire and pro-
portion. Within the calf there were
found to be two stomachs. one set of
bowels and one pair Of lungs.-Pitts-

While in London M. lola was inter-
viewed by the correspondent OF the Co
logne Gazette on the relations between
France and Germany. M. lola said:
Though / am not exactly a politician
I can assure you of n thing, and that
is that no one in France desires war.
In no circumstances shall we take the
offensive, but if we are attacked, well
and good. / do not wish to deny the ex-
istence of the idea of revenge, but there
ID q great difference between cherishing
an idea and putting it into practice.
You cannot give me the name of a
French statesman of the present day
who is eager for war. We have no mil
itary party and no general who can
claim the right to cover himself with the
iaurels Of war. We have become mere
democratic, broader and more peaceable
In OIL views. The condition, however,
In which France lives is, I confess, any
thing but an ideal one"

An incident has inst occurred at Wind
Dor castle. An aged and widowed Scotch
woman named Mary Clarke, q resident
Of Dumfries, feeling herself aggrieved
in consequence Of having been evicted
from her home, determined to lay her

her daughter, o girl ID years of age, she
left the town and walked first to the

Windsor castle, where she arrived In Il
penniless condition after a six weeks
tramp from the north. Her case was in

mediate necessities having been cared
for by some charitable persons at tho
castle, the poor woman and her co1npan-
ion left Windsor ON their return to Scot

Jaokson.s Statue ON the coDstitation.

In 1888 Commodore Elliott ordered q
figure of General jackson to be carved
TO take the place Of q billet bead which
the United States frigate Constitution
had carried through the war Of 1912.
II was placed on the bow Of the frig-

dock in Charlestown navy yard. The
excitement among the political enemies
Of Jackson In Boston was intense. A
meeting was called in Faneuil hall

The Milk. Drinking Habit.

The milk-drinking habit is spreading
in New York, and dealers in milk and
cream. especially those protesting to
supply peculiarly rich and wholesome
article, find it worth while to provide
in their shops little stands at which
customers may sit to drink milk. There
are regular milkdrinking visitors at
such places, and even milk treating is
practiced. A Sixth avenue milk and
butter dealer sells hundreds of glasses
of milk over the counter and has GUS
toners who come daily to luncheon, to
drink milk and eat bread sold by the
loaf Few of the casual milk-drinkers
have learned the wholesome way oi
drinking. Most of them empty theil
glasses in two or three gulps instead Of
taking the milk in slow sips of less
than a tablespoonful each. 1t is moi
generally known that the milk shake
unadulterated with any foreign flavor
is peculiarly wholesome, as it is pal
atable.

Hard on Japanese.

1t was not the intention of the franz
ers of the Chinese exclusion act to dis
criminate against Japanese. There
has been no disposition to prevent their
coming to the United States or to limit
their acquisition of the full rights OF
the American citizen. Admitting i'm
migrant Turks, Arabs and other
foreigners freely and naturalizing them
freely when they seek to be natural
lied, there seems to be no reason ia
draw the line at Japanese. Yet this il
what the court at Boston has done by
denying the right of naturalization to q
Japanese resident there. 1t goes too
far, if we wish to be just. II, on the
other hand, we wish to proceed upor
the idea that we are hereafter to dis
criminate closely between desirable
and undesirable immigrants, it does
not go far enough.

Sam Jones occasionally says some
thing worth quoting. The other day,
in Troy, Ala, he remarked : "a free
ballot and fair count may mean ne
gro domination, but a corrupt ballot
and perjury means devil domination.
If rumOrs can be relied on at all, you
have officials in this country who ought
to be working in stripes in the peni-
tentiary of this State, and no doubt
they would be largely recruited from
many counties in the State of Alabama.
Our politics are corrupt, our politicians
are corrupt. The ballot box may show
who is elected, but the returns show
who gets the Office. If we preachers
