THE POSTAGE STAMP GIRL
What ls Done With the Stamps. Other
Sources For Their Disposition.

The story In THE NEWS of Saturday,
about Miss Carrie T.. Dickinson, the
postage stamp girl" seems to nave been
OF interest to q great many persons, to
judge by the letters and suggestions re-
ceived by THE NEWS on the subject.
There are other repositories for collected
stamps too, as 1t appears, well authenti-
Gated and where the collections OF the
commonest postage stamps may be turned
into money to the advantage of charitable
objects. Mrs. II. M. X. Brownell of this
city calls the attention OF The NEWS 10
the fact that there are several institutions
which depend largely upon the handling
OF old postage stamps for their mainten-
ance. One OF these, the Oeuvre do Marie
Immaculee OF Paris, trains Catholic teach
ers for missionary work In China and
India.
The rules OF the institution prohibit the
collection of subscriptions in any way
because this might divert money from
other and perhaps more necessary
objects. But the society asks its
well wishers the world over to
send 1t their old postage stamps, and
that these are made TO yield a considerab bic
revenue Is attested by the size OF the IN
stitution and the extent OF its work. The
society's house Is at as Rue de Bourgoyne,
and the Offices for the handling and
disposition Of the stamps form a
good sized business block. Millions
of stamps collected with only the vaguest
idea Of what Is TO be done with them,
eventually find their way there. Out Of
the mass collectors find many desirable
specimens but most Of them are used for
decorative purposes, the clever design
ers of the institution utilizing them in
many different ways for china and wall
decoration.
Rev.P M. Barral, DID,, missionary rector
of st. Joseph's Church, sends out a circu-
lar asking for old postage stamps to assist
in the support of the Hammenton
Missions in the State Of New
Jersey. This IL also a Catholic i~nstitu-
ton and 1t is said that a goodly revenue
is derived from the thousands of postage
stamps contributed by friends.
The mother OF Miss Dickinson, the
postage stamp girl" of THE NEWS story,
writes that the stamps sold by them AT
the rate of 81 for 100000 stamps are
mostly sem abroad for collectors to make
choice from.

Two Plaster Casts of His Features taken
Funeral Services in the Catholic
Church on spanish Place.
LONDON, Dec. 14.-At the request of
Sir Charles Topper, the Canadian High
Commissioner, Mr. William Reynolds
Stephens and Mr.. Joseph Whitehead to-
day each took u plaster cast of the face
Of the late Sir John Thompson, for the
purpose Of making bust of the de-
ceased.
The remains of Sir John were then
placed in lead coffin and removed to
the Roman Catholic Church on Spanish
Place.
The coffin, on arriving at the church,
was covered with q pail of rich velvet
with golden crosses and heavy fringe.
Upon this the two wreaths placed by
the Queen upon the coffin at Windsor
Castle rested prominently.
The body was preceded by the AGO.
lytes bearing lighted tapers and the
cross. They were followed by the rector,
Canon Barry.
After being carried up the aisle, the
coffin was placed under catafalqGe ON
IL line with the altar, upon raised plat
form covered with purple and gold
carpet.
On either side of the platform were
six immense candles in magnificent gilt
candelabras. Lord Hawksbury repre-.
sented the Queen, and among those
present were the Marquis of Ripon
Secretary Of State for the Colonies; Sill
Charles Topper and Lady Topper, who
carried u beautiful cross, and Miss
Thompson, daughter of the deceased
premier, vino was deeply affected
throughout the service.

Then, after having learned what is
really good, buying Is slow process.
In Pekin, where people have not much
To do, they warn friends not TO inter-
fere, and spend months in bargaining
for rare piece. 1t sometimes happens,
however, that 'globe-trotter" who has
made study of "cbinoiseries" carries
off the treasure amid much resultant
wailing and gnashing of teeth. But,
fortunately for collectors both in China
and japan, travellers usually content
themselves with the veriest trash. In
Japan, indeed, quantities of gaudy
pOrcelains, hideous embroideries, and
cheap common lacquers are manufac-
tured for their benefit.
The foreign legations, or prisons, as
they may almost be called, are as rule
so tastefully furnished and arranged as
to make them at least gilded cages.
Some of the buildings have been ex-
pressly constructed by the different
governments, while others are Chinese
palaces. The English legation, which
belongs to the latter class, although &C
cording to foreign notions not altogether
convenient, is beautiful both without
and within; the decoration of the dining
and drawing rooms being especially
fine. In summer the diplomats and
their families migrate to picturesque
group of temples some 40 miles or so
distant from the city, where they live in
rather picnic fashion. The priests, who
often continue to occupy and do "ioss
pidgin" in reserved parts of these edi.
fees, are very glad TO get the foreign
gold, but complain that their domain is
permeated by most disagreeable odor,
IL plant which to any ono acquainted
with 10 bouquet de Ia Chine seems
ridiculous enough.
The climate of Pekin is one of ex-
trcmes. Tho winters are bitterly cold,
while the summers. although not as
long, are far hotter than those of Hong
Kong, which lies within the tropics.
The atmosphere is so luminous and
clear that every object stands out
against it with singular distinctness.
The city glows with color, and there is
SO much that is beautiful to be seen that
one almost forgets the horrors. But
they are there, and it is the sincere hope
Of the writer that the little Japs may ere
long march to the capital and teach the
government useful lesson, of which il
stands greatly In need.
