STAMP COLLECTIONS.

There Are Three which Are Worth
Thousands Of Dollars.
As high as 81 900 has been paid for q
single postage stamp, writes Rene
Bache. The greatest collection In the
world Is owned by the multi.milliOn-
aire, Ferrary, and is worth $500, 600
that is to say. It would bring that
amount at auction tomorrow. The
collection of Baron Rothschild has been
appraised at 100000. These and one
other. in the possession of an English
millionaire named Tapeling, are the
three great collections of the world.
II cannot he said that money spent in
this way is unproductive. inasmuch as
stamps are continually increasing in
value. Rare stamps have doubled In
value in the last eight years. There
are at present about 1000 stamp mer.
chants in the United States, doing
business on q capital all the way from
800 to 100000. The Russian postage
stamps are the most beautiful in the
world, being printed in water.colors,
but thcy will not wash. The stamp
of Victoria for H1O is the highest dc.
nomination employed for postal serv-
Ice. 1t is used to carry gold dust.
Some Of the Australian stamps have
round holes punched through them.
This means that the letters they were
attached to were mailed by convicts.
Heligoland is the only country that
prints the denominations on its stamps
In two English and German.
Cashmere prints its stamps in water
colors from ivory. When wet, the
tints run badly.

Peculiar Qualities OF n Cactus Eaten by
Prairie indian Tribes.


Prairie indian Tribes.
The bureau of ctnnology has for
wardcd to Johns Hopkins University
for analysis a quantity of the hearts
Of certain species of cactus native
to tho Indian Territory. These are
eaten by the kiowas and other south.
ern prairie tribes, producing an in.
toxicatiOn somewhat like that Of
hashecsh. Used in moderation, they
are said by the Washington Star to
be most powerful tonic. Like the
famous coca Of Peru, they check
waste and 50 stimulate bodily &C.
tivity as to enable man to work
hard without sleep for days together.
The Indians chew these cactus hearts
and swallow them. They induce q
condition OF exaltation. While under
their influence man Is lifted out Of
himself, as It were. He IL wide
awake, yet dreaming. The intellect
Is not clouded, but stimulated IN q

this plant IL that its peculiar effect

that account 1t m ght be ideally

topper 50 sad after q "jamborec. At
the same time 1t Is neither a narcotic
uor an opiate. The southern prairie
Indians, with whom the eating of the
plant is a religion, regard 1t as a cure
Tor all diseases. especially for con.
sumption. At their sacred festivals
they remain for days In the state of
ecstasy described. Each man con.
suines the cactus hearts at the rate
Of about one an hour. The songs and
ceremonies are Of q dreary kind, ap.
propriate to the method of incpira
tion. Experts ut Johns Hopkins
University will obtain from the ma.

of the plant. Thus II Is expected
that new medicine, valuable, per.

An Embarrassing Experience.

Most American women have had en-.
barrassing experiences In social emer.
gencics. Perhaps none was ever more
trying than the adventure Of lady
noted in New York society for her
courtesy and savoir faire.
One winter day she started on tho
train for Philadelphia, taking her seat
In what she supposed was an ordinary
par!or car. There was but one other
occupant. somewhat stout man, who
sat with his back to her. Presently he
lighted u cigar and began to smoke.
The lady coughed and moved uncasily,
but her hints had no effect. She said
at last tartly:
"You probably are u foreigner. sir,
and do not know that there Is a smok.
ing car attached to the train. Smok-
ing Is not permitted here
Tho man without reply threw his
cigar out Of tho window.
a few moments later the conductor
entered and stared at her In dismay.
How did you come here, madam"
he inquired.
"Why, where am II"
I'm Gen. Grants private car"
The mortified lady's usual tact failed
her here. She looked at the dumb i'm.
movable figure, and rctreated without
a word.

she Is Familiarity called by those who
know her, Is remarkable for more
reasons than one, Notwithstanding her
great age she talks entertainingly and
clearly and retains her mental facul-

the incidents Of her early life that she
Is most familiar, and her stories Of the
stirring events Of the days of the rev.

She was l2 years old when CORVALLIS
with his British and Tories invaded
this country and forced able-bodied
men to join the army OF the King. All
who refused were shot down. The men
Of the colony at length rose up against
such tyranny and shouldered their
guns to fight the common enemy. The
women Of the day, with the fire of
patriotism burning in their hearts,
took the place of their husbands and
sens and went into the fields and culti-
waited the crops. One day the British
and Tories swoOpcd down on the little
settlement where Mrs. Hawthorne
lived and burned and destroyed their
houses and crops. The soldier colon.
