Several young ladies Of this city
have recently received letters asking
them to write three letters and send
them to friends These letters request
that the receivers send ten or more
cancelled postage stamps to some per
son, generally girl, who is said to DC
badly crippled, and saying that some
medical institute will cure her for q
million cancelled postage stamps
When letters are addressed to Cath
olics they are generally told that some
convent, church OF school is to be
greatly benefited by the collection OF
these million stamps. Ii you ever re-
ceive such a letter don't pay any at
tention to it for it is pretty sure to be a
fraud These "chains" of cores
pondents are formed by men who want
stamps for their own private proht.
They make much money out OF these
chains" and the money probably
never reaches any other pocket than
their own. Cancelled stamps sell to
collectors for about two cents per | 900,
and then the dealers expect to find in
the great lots sent to them some valu-
able stamps, which often sell for a good
deal of money. Don't get caught.

There is certain village in the Mid
lands, says London Truth, where the
illness of the amccr of Afghanistan is
always followed with painful anxiety
The reason is to be found in the follow
ing curious, but, believe, perfectly
authentic story: Some years ago an en-
tcrprising young tailor left the village
in question, and went abroad to seek
his fortune. lie eventually found his
way to Cabul. Here great luck awaited
him. He obtained the patronage of
royalty, and became the poole of
Afghanistan. He had left Il sweetheart
behind in England, and as soon as he
found himself on the road to fortune,
he sent for the damsel to join him.
She came, but here fortune deserted
the tailor. His intended bride, in her
turn, obtained the patronage of royal
ty, with the result that she eventually
became one of the three hundred wives
of Abdurrahman.
This, however, is only the first act of
the tragedy. 1t is understood that, by
the laws of Afghanistan, when the
hihSNi NiCS, Viz MiO1C Oh Ills UnT6G
hundred wives must be shot. The laws
of the Afghans arc as immutable as
those of their ancient neighbors, the
Medcs and Pcrsians, and the whole of
the little Midland village, where the
ameer's English wife was born, and
where her parents are still living, has
been, during the past week or two, in
a high state of excitement over the
possible fate of TIC young lady.
Fortunately, the amccr seems better
now, and it is to bc hoped, if only for
the sake of his wives, whatever their
nationality, that the Improvement may
continue. In the meantime, cannot
diplomacy do anything for the young
woman? At his time of life. and with
n equity habit to boot, should have
thought Abdurrahman might have
been induced to get along with two
hundred and nincty-ninc OF them If,
however, he must have round num-
Der in the family circle, perhaps, an
exchange might be negotiated.

GOOD MANNERS AND MORALS.
Both Characterize the Naval and MILL
tary Society Lifo of the Capital.

Both Characterize the Naval and MILL
tary Society Lifo of tho Capital.
There are two phases of social life ut
inc national capital about which peo-
pie in civil life know little or nothing.
These are tho army social life at the
barracks, Fort Meyer and the naval
circle ut the navy yard, says the Wash
ington Post. In many respects they
arc similar, inasmuch as they consti-
tutc little worlds apart from the gen
eral society of Washington. The l:fc
is free from the struggling jealousies
and heart-burnings which characterize
the outside world. There is simple
ity of life, sociability and refinement
which makes an army or naval station
peculiarly attractive. The hospitality
IS unbounded, people arc expected to
live within their means, they know OK
actly what they are going to get, and
they gauge their expenditures accord
ingly. 1t is more like large family
than Il social circle. The bonds which
bind army and naval men to each other
are among the strongest. There is al
ways feeling of comradeship among
them all which docs not obtain in civil
life. The high standards of character,
courtesy and duty required officially
has its effect upon social life.
Men cannot live beyond their pay,
beat their creditors or SANDER brother
officers without being brought to book
and held to account. The code of man.
ncrs and morals, therefore, is higher
than it is in most social life and among
commercial people. There are ALWAYS
Il lot OF friendly and informal little en-
tertainments, in which people are
thrown together III Il charming way.
Tree from the conventional buclraln of
the grand functions of society. To
young girls the life is particularly at
tractivc and charming. They have the
society and attention of wcll-brcd and
wcll-educatcd young fellows, who are
always ut their service and never fail
to do everything in their power to con-
tribute to their pleasure. The married
couples have pretty, tasteful establish
mcnts with all the modern comforts
and conveniences and without the fear
OF burglars, tramps, book agents and
thieving servants. The relations anonr
the families are kindly and ncighborly.
and in times of sickness and sorrow
sympathy and assistance are prompt.
OF course, there is some friction at
times over the assignment to quarters,
or when some officer attempts to make
himself disagrccablc, or when some
woman attempts to command the gar
rison and lay down the law to other
officers wives, or talk too much about
other peoples affairs. Offenders of
this kind are generally promptly sat
upon, and no arrogance or pernicious
gossip is tolerated. The routine of
duty of the officers is not very hard
and does not monopolizc all their time
They have enough leisure for social life
and time to be polite. There is none of
the hurry and scurry, the anxiety and
worry of civil life. AS rule the Off
GERS prefer duty with their regiments
and batteries to so-callcd soft details

the product will be from 10000 to -, 900

facture of brick in this section has been
the plenty and cheapness Of stone for
common work. but the LAnse company
will confine its attention TO the pressed
variety. which with dressed or carved
stone is the only serious competitor"

The sleeve Growing Smaller.

Gowns seen at midsummer social
functions in Paris indicate coming
change in sleeves, yet it is by no means
prophesied that the large sleeves will be
entirely displaced. There are, however,
always few women who desire to be
unlike the multitude, and who are eager
for novelty, and pothing could attract
all eyes now more than to see woman
in tightly fitting sleeves; those wora are
relieved by ruffles falling from the
shoulders and by puffs and ruffles at the
elbows. This may be looked upon as
the first breath Of change which will
bring about pleasant modification iI
