SOME LUCKY FINDINGS.

Apparently Worthless Objects for
Which Collectors Pay Large
Sums.
Lucky finds of curios that have
brought goodly sums of money to
their discoveries happen frequently"
said a stamp collector. Every col
lector Of postage stamps has had ex
periences in this line or knows of the
finds of friends.
"Some time ago it was chronicled
that the original plate for printing the
stamps issued by the postmaster Of
Providence, R. l., back in the '40s,
had been discovered. 1t was sold by
figures.
"a schoolboy not long ago, in
small stamp collection he had pur-
stamp of the issue of 1869, in two
printed in one of the colors, inverted,
or upside down, instead of normal.
The collection had cost him SO. The
same stamp has since been sold for
$50.
"Some of the revenue stamps which
which used to come on match boxes
and patent medicine bottles are now
very rare. Collectors who, years ago,
took certain varieties off the original
boxes and bottles, have since sold
them for $50 or 500. They cost their
possessors nothing but the trouble of
soaking them from their resting
places.
Finds of rare coins are not so
common as discoveries of rare
stamps. but occasionally some one
runs across rarity in blowing in
the fields or in tearing down an old
house.
"The dollar of 1904 is, perhaps, the
rarest of United States coins, in value
running from $4,000 up. 1t is said
that some of these have been found
by accident.
"Not long ago great auk's' egg
was sold in England for 300 guineas,
which originally was bought for IF
| from a French fisherman. 1t is
thought that some eggs Of this extinct
bird may yet be hanging undiscovered
among strings of eggs in the fishing
novels of the New England, Nova
Sofia or British coast
Luck finds also include the dis
covery Of meteoric stones. Such
stones have brought big sums to their
discoveries. An expert recognizes
them by their fused skin-like cover
ings, but farmers, no doubt, have
plowed many of them up and thrown
them aside as pebbles.
"A few years ago small meteOric
stone, worth 500, was lost by George
+. Kunz, the gem expert OF Tiffany 4
Co., the jewelers., in an elevated rail-
road train. 1t did not turn up In the
lost property room. Though a reward
was offered. nothing was ever heard
of it, and it's ultimate resting place
was doubtless, the ash-bin. New

A Fly Remedy.

All sorts of remedies for the fly nui-
sance crop up with the return of the
hot weather, but the old-fashioned
cure, which is advocated by a contem-
porary, is hard to beat. A house
keeper says she never uses window
screens; they shut out tco mich air,
and keep the flies in the house as
much as they keep them out. Long
ago she watched her grandmother
putting punches of lavender flowers
around to keep the flies away, but,
while recognizing the point of that
method, she takes a simpler way.
Buying five cents worth Of oil of law
ender at the drug store, she mixes it
with an equal quantity Of water. This
mixture is put into common glass
atomizer and sprayed around the
room wherever flies are apt to congre-
gate, especially in the dining-room,
where it is plentifully sprinkled over
the table linen. To most people the
scent is peculiarly fresh and grateful,
but to flies it is especially disagree
able, and they will never venture in
it's neighbOrhOod.

Again she paused and again the Wis
count nodded and smiled.
"Why will you not speak? Why will
you thus torture me?" the woman
cried angrily and impatiently.
"On that night when, awhile since,
we. at your house, renewed our ac-
quaintance, you had, If I remember
rightly, but scant pity for the I'M

helpless within your clutch"
And the viscount appeared delighted
that 1t was now his turn to torture.
Morton, entreat that you will
have pity on me and say where are

"They are nowhere" responded the
viscount, and laughed again, .'for I
have destroyed Them"
"Ah! you obtained possession Of
those letters!' Eugenia cried, her face
lighted up with joy.
"Of course l obtained possession of
them or how could I have DESTROYED
them?" the viscount said, lightly and
jestingly.
Gone! those letters are goner' Eu-

again believing herself entirely safe.

'"Thcse letters" pursued the WIS.,

"Both?" exclaimed Mrs. .Chesterton,
with shrek of terror; ..but there
were three Of those letters"
''Three of them?" faltered the Wis
count, Keeling backward as though q
knife had suddenly pierced his heart.
Yes. yes, three of them-three Of

cried, and wrung her hands despair
ingly.
And then. supplied with fear, with

CHAPTER Xxx.
The snarea of Guilt.


Seated in one of the superbly-fur

mansion, eagerly and trembling, was
Mrs. Chesterton awaiting the coming

the success of whom, in that attempt
which he had promised that he would
make, depended now her own life.
Should she perish, what would be-
come of her poor. innocent daughter?
And Mrs. Chesterton shuddered as
thus she thought On that one point
her heart was still vulnerable; that she
was mother was, perhaps, the sole
cause that some remnant Of human
feeling yet chung about her
When, after a whole age, as it had
appeared to her, Viscount Dareleigh
at last presented himself before her,
Mrs. Chesterton hurried toward him,
and in her impatient terror showered
upon him question after question.
When she had fairly run herself out
and had paused, partly for want of
breath to continue and partly because
she had asked all and more that all
that it had been necessary to demand,
Viscount Dareleigh said, laughing
gaily:
"Rest easy, Eugy, and bless your
guardian angelo
A strange look did Mrs. Chesterton
fix on the viscount as he said that;
and singular expression was on her
features as she repeated:
"Angel? All, indeed! had not
thought that you would ever be that.
The viscount laughed more merrily
| even than before.

colors for painting the slides, none

she succeeded in making a collection
of tinted photographs of the famous

then p; inted under microscope. The
necessity for this extreme minuteness
arises from the fact that every detail
has to be so perfect that the enlarge
ment of many feet upon the screen
will disclose no coarseness Of hand
ling. The coloring is done before the
originals in each case by a long, slow
and laborious process. Colored pho

in it's accurate reproduction of the

Necessary TO a Correct Funeral.

A funeral party in one of Pittsburg's
suburbs found itself in a queer predic-

Center Station, on the Allegheny Val
ley railway, and it was arranged to
bury him at Verona, several miles
away. The mourners filled two coach
es on the morning train. On their ar
rival at Verona they went to the
church where the services were to be
held, and then it was discovered that
the corpse had been left behind at
Center Station. The undertaken drove
across the country for the body, and
the funeral was held several hours af-
ter the time originally set for the
services

Theodore was about to hasten to the

and to relate to her that, by which he,
himself, had been but now so utterly

and which was almost opposite to that

And with wonder and alarm did
Theodore now gaze upon her.
The young girls face was white as
that of spectre risen from its tomb;
she was as though she had been sud

One hand was lying by her side, and
in it was written the deposition which
she had just completed; and the other
hand was extended and directed to-
ward the door to nearly opposite to
that on the threshold of which she
still, and as if rivetted there re-

Her eyes, too, were fixed and glazing
toward the way her finger pointed.
She had arrived in time fully and

but it had we'll sufhced.
Viscount Dareleigh had gone and

Her voice again entirely failed her,

Foilinr the ,Iicrnb >.

Scientists have been directing their
attention to the study of bacilli to
to such good purpose that they have
begun to create, or, at least, to breed,
new varieties, and it, is believed that
in this way it may eventually become
possible to neutralize the effect Of the
most deadly microbe, that is, by gen.
Grating variety inimical or destruc-
tive to it. A French bacteriologist has
produced new race of bacillus to
which he has given an extremely long
name. The new bacilli are of the class
which produce tetanus or lockjaw, but
they are so attenuated that they con-
fer immunity from the disease of an
inoculated with it. Starting with this
bacillus M. Physalix has succeeded in
Transforming it by the incubation of
guinea pigs, SO that the properties Of
the original bacillus, as we'll as its
form, have been completely changed.
By this achievement bacteriology
would seem to have taken a new de-
parture, of which it is impossible to
forecast the consequences. Those peo-
pie who are timid as to the propoga-
ton Of disease by coins will take COM
fort from the fact that copper coins
have been proved fatal to the cholera
bacllli in seventeen minutes. On the
other hand, experiment has shown that
gold, platinum, nickel and aluminium
are not inimical to microbes. In fact,
it would seem that metals which re-
sist the attacks of chemical reagents
are harmless to microbes, whereas,
those, such as copper, which are read

Grief as a Disease.

A medical authority says that grief
is a disease and must be treated as
such. 1t cannot be ignored, neither
can it be consoled away. 1t must be
accepted and allowed to wear itself
out. AS a rule, readjustment comes
slowly. Sorrow, grief and the emotion
caused by all great misfortunes should
be regarded as akin to acute infectious
diseases, which they resemble in re-
suit; and later, as convalesence from
such diseases. In this class of illness,
seclusion, rest, sleep, appropriate food,
fresh air, sunshine and interests that
tax neither mind nor body are re-
CURED. After extreme sorrow the nerv-
Gus system needs, above everything,
complete rest. The poison Of grief is
more than name. To urge work,
study, travel, the vain search for
amusements is both useless and dan
gerous. For time the whole organ
ism is oyerthrOwn and temporary Sc
clusion is imperative for proper read
justment. Recent medical observa-
lions show that the physical results
OF depressed emotions are similar to
those caused by bodily accidents, ia
tigue, chill, partial starvation and loss
Of blood. Birds, lnoles and dogs, which
apparently died in consequence of cap
ture and from conditions that corrc-
spopd in human beings to acute nos
talgia and "broken heart" were ex-
amined after death as to the condi-
ton of their natural organs. 1t was
found that the nutrition of the tissues
had been interfered with, and the sub
stance proper Of various vital organs
had undergone the same kind of de-
generation rs that brought about by
phosphorus or the germs of infectious
| disease.
