10000 Miles of Postage Stamps.

Last years issue of postage stamps
was, in round figures, four thousand
million. If these had all been of the
Columbian size they would have been
sufficient to make ribbon long
enough to encircle the earth three
times, with something of remain
der. The postal cards used during
the same period, if placed end TO
end, would put a paper girdle around
the earth more than o dozen times.
It may not be generally known
that Uncle Sam prints one postage
stamp that is not for sale, !. g., the
seeond-class matter stamp. This
stamp, newo or Cancelled, never passes
out of the hands Of the post office
officials. Postage on periodicals is
prepaid by the pound, in cash. and
the receiving clerk cancels these
special stamps to the value OF the
postage thus prepaid, and forwards
the Cancelled stamps to the depart.

just Like the Americans.

A Nice paper recently contained
the following, which has occasioned
considerable amusement among the
Americans there. Il is headed:
every American: "A very rich
Yankee has recently offered the
countess Of Janze $500, 900 francs
for her house, its furniture, objects
Of art, and whatever else it may con-
tain worthy of purchase. The resi-
dence is to be torn down most care

MILITARY BALLOONS.
Handling of Air Machines in the Field
tlas Been Much Improved. ~

lias Been Much improved. -
Balloon and wagon have formed
junction and are ready to start with
the troops. Away goes the wagon,
with the balloon hanging to it's tail,
while the attendant sappers on each
side keep it steady. The train moves
along at a good round pace, easily
keeping up with or even passing the
infantry, and makes for the particu-
lar spot at which it has been deter
mined to commence ballooning opera
tions, which is usually on the top Of
good high hill.
An ascent is an easy enough mat
ter and is soon accomplished. The
balloon is securely fixed to the end
OF the wire rope, and the two men
who are to ascend take their places.
At the word of command the men
who have been holding down the cor
let go. and up shoots the balloon,
unwinding the rope as it rises, and
allowed sometimes to ascend to q
height Of one thousand feet. And
suppose the officer receives instruc-
tions to move the position of the bal
loon, is it necessary to haul it down?
Not bit of it. A man is placed at
the end of the wagon who carefully
guides the connecting rope so that
it cannot get entangled or run the
risk of being cut, and away goes the
wagon, sometimes at a trot across
fields, and up and down hill, until
the balloon itself is o long distance
from its original station. Next, sup
pose that it is necessary to lower
the balloon, is it needful to wind in
all the wire rope that has been paid
out from the reels? No such thing.
The balloon is brought to earth in a
much more expeditions manner.
A long, stout pole, in the middle
of which is a pulley wheel, is laid
across the rope. Half dozen men
seize the pole and run it along the
rope, and their weight soon brings
the balloon down to the ground. Pas.
sengers can then be carried on, and
then. the men run the pole back, and
up shoots the balloon again many
| hundreds of feet into the air, with
out having been away from its ex
alted position more than q few min
utes.
q But it is not necessary to lower
the balloon in this or any other way
whenever it is required that mes
sages should be exchanged betweel
!, those below and those above. Their
are various eontrivanees for doin!
} this. Sometimes, for instance,
, wire is attached, through whicl
messages can be sent toa telephone
) Another plan is to send message
/ down the wire cable. A little wir
hook is fastened around the cable
, and the letter or paper, weighte'
| with small sand bag, is sent flut
j tering down. The human voice,
may also be added, can be heard bot
from. considerable height on

One Resort.

Very many good stories are told
of DIR. Jewett, the master of Ballicl
college. At one time student was
sssent down" for failure to pass an
examination in Greek.
The boys mother called to see
DR.. Jewett, and talked about her
son until the listener was somewhat
weary. She gave the lad the best Of
characters, and closed with the re-
ligious irrelevance:
He will have the consultations OF
religion, and there is one book
to which he can always turn.
DIR. Jewett eyed her benignly.
Yes, madam" he said. 'The

Facts About Stamps.

Postage stamps, stamped enye-
lopes and postal cards are now all
made by contract, none OF the work
being done in Washington. AT each
factory inspectors are stationed,
who must exercise strict oversight
of the whole business, from the TAX
ing in of the blank paper to the
sending out of the finished product
upon acquisitions from postmasters,
all of which pass through the de-
partment at Washington. Every
Sheet Of paper must be accounted
for, and if q single stamp be imper-
feet or imperfectly printed the
whole sheet containing the detective
stamp must be sent to Washington
for examination and destruction.
From three to Ave millions Of stamps
are thus sent to Washington every
week. where they are carefully
counted, checked off and burned

Electric Teams.

A brilliant and novel use OF cleo
trio lighting has been devised by Q
vaudeville theater In the after
noon. as soon as broadway Is dark
enough to show the lights, four coal
black horses, drawing one OF those
smart, highly polished box wagons,
such as florists use for delivery, are
driven slowly up and down that
thoroughfare, horses and wagon
ablaze with electric lights. The
wagon is outlined with electric light
lamps. and on each horses head and
back an electric lamp blazes stead
ily. The device is simple enough.
In the wagon is an electric storage
battery from which wires are led to
the lamps, the horses being wired
along tho harness. The horses are
evidently tremendously proud OF the
display they make. N. <. Sun.

In the selection of their costumes
the little ladies' and gentlemen must

silk, attended by Grecian mad,
Ada Schwenke, in pink and white.
The hostess, Miss Mable Rose, was
Francis Burnett's IDEAL of youthful
