A little girl IN North Dakota was play
ing by the railroad track, and being
caught bv the train, was so severely IN
jured that it was found necessary to smpu.
tate both legs above the knee. An enter
prising Chicago firm offered 10 send her a
pair OF artificial limbs on the receipt oi
one million cancelled postage stamps. and
OF this number Miss Ethel Newton, with
the assistance OF several friends, whom
she interested in the work, has collected
II SIS. The required number has now
been secured, and the boys and girls who
have helped to collect these stamps, can
feel that the summer vacation has not
been entirely wasted Cancelled stamps,
il is said, are put to various uses, those OF
the Columbia designs being valued by
collectors, while the more common kinds
are utilized in decorating tables and caoi-
nets. One table is covered with heads OF
Washington, carefully cut from the ordi-
nary two-cent stamps and then thousands
of the little figure "2'i are cut from the
lower corner OF the stamp to form borders
around the heads. Ii il also quite a fad
In Germany to paper rooms with stamps,
about 100000 being required TO cover &
moderate. sized room. The usual price
paid is ten cents a thousand: though the
red two-cent stamps do not bring so
much: and the Columbian stamps OF
small denominations bring more-some-
times thirty cents thousand.
