CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD,

paid as the value of our souls the Cross of Calvary and all the degradation and suffering and shame which that implies. But here are men hesitating to give 8 paltry part of their possessions to Him, with one hand holding forth an offering, but with the other hand holding dear treasure back. We'll might angels weep at the sad spectacle, the stars grow dim for shame, and wretched man bury his head in dust, unable to look at his own meanness.

That is how Ananias planned, but he was very much deceived. He thought he was going to deceive others, but he found out, when too late, that he had thoroughly deceived himself. Why is it possible, when he does deed only after the most careful deliberatiOn, when he goes into an undertaking only with his eyes wide open and knowing very well what he is about?

THE VALUE OF STAMPS.

Tint WIZ I5e in Demand.

OlU ones That 8rc Costly and New Ones
That VIII BE in Demand.
The great increase in the prices of
tho stamps of this country, as will be
shown by the new stamp catalogue,
has created n heavy demand for many
of them, collectors being anxious to
get what stamps they lack before the
new prices go into effect. While some
specimens remain at tho old prices,
others have doubled, the average in
crease on the adhcsives being about
twenty-five per cent.
1t is expected that nine new stamps
will be issued in China on November
II, that being the siXtieth anniversary
of the empress dowager's birthday. 1t
is understood that the stamps will take
the place of the previous issue, and be
of two sizes.
Five new stamps have been issued for
use between Fee and Sepro in Morocco,
the values being five, ten, twenty five
and fifty centines and one frame
Mexico has issued four new varieties
of envelopes, the four and ten centavocs
on white laid paper, and five and ten
on white woven paper.
Until recently many collectors in
this country were in the habit of buy
ing United States stamps from Eng
land, where they could be purchased
at much lower prices than here. At
fairs have changed now, and Enc speci-
mems of the old issues of this country,
and especially the rare department
stamps, such us executive, justice,
state and navy, will now bring higher
prices in London than can be obtained
in New York.
a new set of adhesive stamps is con-
templated for the Bahamas
Stamp collecting has grown so much
in favor lately that it is now q regular
thing for many of tho large daily pa
pcrs to give weekly installments of
stamp matter.

Fads OF a Ramona princsss.

Although the princess of Wales has
not yet reached the throne, she is cred
tied with some very queenly caprices.
When she travels favorite white cat
must always go with her, and another
indispensable accompaniment is an as
sortmcnt Of little china animals, such
as can be had in any toyshop. This
latter necessity means no little
trouble to her attendants, rs she never
permits her rooms to be dismantled un-
til the last moment, and the packing of
the fragile pets has been the means
OF losing more than one train. From
st. Petersburg, by the way, comes the
word that the late ear left his dear
sister-in-law, the princess Of Wales"

affection.

The Process Was Invented by Barbara

4 little known example of inventive
genius in woman is that afforded by
barbara Uttman, of SaYony, and her
point lace so long in fashionable use all
over the world. She invented the proc
Tess and apparatus for manufacturing
this beautiful handiworl, which has
Since given employment to millions Of
operators, and which, in it's line, had
never been excelled. The apparatus
looks like long pincushion bristling
with pins arranged to outline the pat
tern or design. The operator manages
from ten to fifty peculiar spools, allow
ms the thread to feed over the pins al
lternately, until the design is completed.
The spools, or bobbins, are purposely
OF different colors, SO as to be easily
,distinguishablc. The process is slow
and difficult to learn. Miss Uttman
founded schools where thousands
learned it. Since her time, when in
yentive ability was rare, even among
men, her ideas have been incorporated
in the construction of machinery by
which the lace is produced at wonder
fully lower rates, and yet Barbara Utt-

a homcly incident is related in one
OF the provincial journals which is not
without u touch OF patlos. Kuroiso is
the name of one of the lesser stations
on the northern route, the nearest viii
lage of any importance being known
as Higashi Nasu-no-mUra, little
place of less than five hundred
inhabitants. AS many trains have
latoly been bringing soldiers down
from the northern provinces, and as
these trains have invariably.to stop q
whilo ut Kuroiso, the people of the
nbove-naned village thought this an
excellent opportunity to turn IN hon
est penny by selling articles of food,
tobacco, etc., to the soldiers en- route
There was one old woman, however,
who had bigger conception of her
duty and what was owing to the de-
tenders Of her country than any of her
fellow villagers. Parting with every
thing she could spare she spent all the
result in buying large quantity of
chestnuts. These were then made into
that kind of cake known as kachilSuri.
This done, the old woman carried the
cakes to the trains whenever they bore
soldiers southwark, and presented each
man with some of the sweets she had
sacrificed SO much to procure.
She accompanied each little gift with
bow and the wish: Conquer in bat
tie and come back to japan victorious
and unwoundcd" The soldiers were
much touched by her simple words
and artless dcmeanor, and would have
given her money, but she positively re-
fused to receive anything in return for
tho loyal offerings.

porary, sis the old chivalrous spirit of
Japan, not that mercantile and sordid
disposition that has SO largely usurpcd
