cover this trait in the lovers? Neither
do you want a spendthrift. You don't
want a jealous husband. for he is about
as dangerous to live with as a lunatic.
You don't want a dandy, who curls his
hair. has his nails manicured and uses
a face bleach, and you wouldn't believe
how many such specimens are floating
around in good society. You want a
whole-souled, lovable gentleman. He

some friend who is a collector Many
persons, after sending packages prepaid
with high values. have requested that
the stamps he sent back A dry goods
traveller, who is somewhat of a stamp
enthusiast, told the writer that during
his tours over the country he sent
everything home by mail that he possi-
bly, could. and always used Columbus
stamps. A neat schetne which he said
he had worked successfully on several
occasions was TO buy a. quantity of the
new stamps from a fourth-class post
master put them on packages and have
them Cancelled. and then receive from
the postmaster a bonus or commission
for this increase in trade. As the fourth
class pOstmasters are paid percentages
over the first s. on The amount of stamps
they cancel, collectors say that this plan
might be worked we'll in certain lOcali-
ties. but they doubted if il could be gen.
orally employed from the fact that these
smaller postoffices, as a rule, received
very limited supply Of the Columbus
series.
According to another collector it is
cheaper from a speculative point OF
view To mail letters with three-cent
stamps than with two-cent ones. Deal
erS are Offering $3.50 per 100 for used
three-cent COlumhianS. while the two
cent ones are only worth at the most
> cents a hundred. So if one is visiting
home and can have his tbree-centsr
saved. he can realize 1ie cents on each
stamp, and his postage viii cost him
ilcent less than the legal rates.
With the Columbian stamps the United
States entered for the first time in the
region of high values for letter postage.
Formerly the highest stamp issued for
that purpose by our government was 30
cents That value for many years has
caused intense dissatisfaction on ac-
count Of its awkwardness for computing
purposes.

includes among its members hundreds

"a Serious Proposal to Ladies',

Really there is nothing new under the
sun. Even the doctrine of woman's
rights is not at all a nineteenth century
idea, as the reformers would have il an
pear. Two centuries ago there lived the
woman who was the first advocate of
woman's rights. This good lady's name
was Mrs. Mary Astell. and she pub
Hshed her theories in a little book called
"A Serious Proposal To the Ladies For
the Advancement Of Their True and
Greatest Interest, by a Lover of Her
Sex"
This book was printed in 1894. and
therein the good lady impIores women
mot to be content to be in the world
like tulips in a garden, to make a fine
show and be good for nothing" She
also says that women value men too
much and themselves too little. and that
they should be capable of nobler things
than the pitiful conquest Of some poor
human heart. for a woman should al
ways remember that she has no mighty
obligation TO the man who makes love
to her she has no reason TO be fond
OF being wife or to reckon it a price(D
Of preferment when she is taken to be
a mans upper servant" Ye gods and
little fishes, 10 think that radical senti-
Tnent was written 200 years ago. And
what a glorious wOmans club president
Dame Asten would have made if she
were alive today! And still the foolish
mind OF woman seems ever bent on
the pitIfui conquest Of some moor
human heart, for which the gods be
thanked, else how would there be any
woman born 10 pirate and prattle of the
rights Of their sex1N. Y. sun.
