Stamps.

The dull season Just ended has been
extremely interesting from the fact
that a large number Of stamps have
been advancing in value by leaps ana
bounds. SO many new collectors nave
come into the field that the supply of
scarce and rare stamps has been much
smaller than the demand. This has
been the case especially In unused
United States stamps to such a degree
that dealers have refused to sell, cal
culating that they would make more
money by holding off. The depart
ment stamps have scored the greatest
advance. The executives, old a few
years ago for 81 or s. per set, COM
mand 500 to $50 to-day. The justice
set, which could he bought for IS or
SO a set, are difficult TO find at $50 or
500. Even the deSpiSed interior, worth
formerly 70 cents to 81 per set, now
bring So to So. A fine set of state
formerly owned by the writer, and
sold for $40 in 1891, changed hands
the other day at $3.50.
In a word collectors with money
bankers, merchants, nOblemen and
even r0ydities-have greatly increased
In numbers during the past three
years, whereas there are nc more I'M
used United States stamps to-day han
formerly. Indeed. there are fewer
stamps on the market, as there is a
constant destruction Of old albums
and collections through fire. water and
CareleSSness.
Used stamps are not appreciated to
as great an extent as unused, as the
great demand has led to the looking
over Of every lot Of old letters within
the reach and knowledge of collectors.
Consequently the common varieties of
United States stamps and envelopes
are somewhat Of a drug in the market,
and are bought by dealers to-day
chiefly on the chance Of finding one or
more Of the scarcer kinds in the lot

A story Of Joe Jefferson.

Many boys and girls have seen the
famous actor Joe Jefferson in his great
play Rip Van Wrinkle, that delightful
story Of the Catskill fairies, and in ii
that weird scene where he partakes of
the spirits that the elves give him,
making him sleep for twenty years.
Well, there is a good story told about
Jefferson In that particular scene.
Once being hear some good fishing
grounds he spent the day drawing in
the gamy trout and was thoroughly
tired when the curtain rolled up for
the evening performance. Every thing
moved smoothly enough until he is
supposed to fail asleep. Now that
sleep In fiction lasts twenty years, but
on the stage about two minutes. This
time, however, the two minutes wee
heightened out into ten. much to the
amusement Of the audience and provo
cation Of the stage manager. Jeffer.
son had fallen asleep, and his snores,
it is said. were quite audible beyond
the footlights. Several remarks We're
fired at him by the audience, and
finally the stage manager had to 60
beneath the stage and open a trap
near where Jefferson was lying to try
and wake him up.
He called and called, but 1t was no
use. and In desperation he succeeded
in jabbing a pin into him, which made
Jefferson jump up with a sharp cry,
and quickly realize where he was

Can You Name Hint

More than a hundred years ago, un-
der the sunny blue skies Of a country
which shall be nameless, lived a
young nobleman,
He was rich with a lovely wife and
a happy home, but he was not content,
for far away across the seas there
were people fighting for freedom from
the ~tyrant's yoke, and he longed to
help them. In spite of the opposition
Of his government. which had not yet
decided t. help this struggling people,
he secretly purchased a ship and sail
ed away on his helpful mission.
There he spent several years, re-
turning home heaped with honors and
the thanks OF a grateful people.
Years afterward, when an old man,
he revisited the country whose free
ION he had helped To gain. Although
his visit was made the occasion OF
many public demonstrations, 1t must
have been a sad one, for many Of the
friends whom he had known and
To- vi were in their graves. History
pictures him as weeping at the grave
Of his old commander.

name?-Mary 5. Stelson.

CURIOUS AFRICAN BIRDS OF RE-
MARkA6LE INTELLIGENCE.
The Hunting Eagles Of Natai-weav-
er Birds which Build Nests
and Make Cunning Pets-DazzIiug
Bee Eaters-A Rain Doctor"

Africa, the wonderland Of science,
has within her dense forests and roll
IN uplands more curious and interest
Ing birds than are found in an equal
area in any other part of the world.
Those most ingenious feathered ar
chitects, the weaver birds ARE repre-
sented la numerous varieties, and are
generally diffused over the southern
districts of South Africa. The birds
and their curious nests. figured in the
illustration, were photographed by
DIR. Emil Holub, the distinguished
Austrian savant and explorer recent
ly in this country.
Somewhat like the tailor bird OF
Australia, h weaver bird is provided
with a bill which makes ii marvellous
~ adept at constructing the hanging
ball OF grass which constitutes home,
swinging safe OF Of reach OF prowl-
ing animals.
The nests are usually In colonies.
and are hung to trees which grow
over rivers or marshes.
These weaver birds make very cum
ming, though mischievous, pets. Lay
yard, the naturalist kept a number Of
the birds in a large cage for some
time. They became very tame and
would answer readily to the call.
When they were supplied with cotton
or thread they would cay 1t most
industriously into the bars Of the
cage, forming a dense mass. impossi-
BILE to unrayel. They perform their
work entirely with their bills, cling
Ing the while to the side Of the cage
with their powerful claws.
In Natal the weaver birds are gre
garious, and are troublesome to all
cereal crops, as they live there almost
entirely on grain and grass seeds.
Along the coast they are exceedingly
fond Of sucking the nectar from the
cape broom, a thorny tree which bears

The bee-eaters are another singular
tribe Of birds, including quite a num-
Der Of species, which inhabit South
Africa. The carmine-throated bee
eater (the Merops nubicordes Of sci
encel is among the most gorgeous OF
tropical birds; their appearance in
iocks is almost dazzling. Most OF the
body and tail Except the tip of the
latter, which is green) is of a beauti-
full carmine, shading to pink on the
under parts, while the plumage Inn
medidteiy about the eye is black, and
the top of the head is green. The two
long feathers of the tail give the bird
n swallow-like appearance, and in
their flight they are extremely grace
full. Like the swallow, they procure
their food chiefly on the wing. The
birds nest In colonies In holes In river
banks. the nests being about two or
three feet apart, and usually six or
eight feet above the water. The tun-
nels are excavated for about -four feet,
when the orifice is widened to form a
nest. A flock of bee birds in their
rich attire lowering and clinging TO
their nest tunnels, Is one Of the most
curious and beautiful sights to be
seen by the naturalist in Africa.
In the vicinity Of Kuruman, Coles
burg, Nell poort and other parts OF
Southern Africa, the tawny eagle
CAuuila rapax) is very numerous.
This eagle is remarkable for its dar-
ing and skill In attacking its prey,
and from the study Of a living speci-
men In the geological garden in Re
gents Park, which became quite
tame. 1t has been suggested by a nat
uralist that It would make an excel
lent hunting eagle, In Africa these
eagles constantly accompany persons
In pursuit Of game, and have been
seen by them to carry OH WOUNDED
hares and other animals.
The depredations of the tawny eagle
on the fiocks cause them to be killed
by settlers, but they are still very nu-
merous In the Karroo country. A pair
once darted down on a flock OF merl-
no ewes and lambs, and only few on
after having dispatched forty of the
latter. The sheep were in charge or u

hablted by young birds in the
month Of JarXary. 1t was a large

A Slight Mistake.

1t Is a poor sort of courtesy which
only exhibits itself toward people of
wealth and prominence. and we can
not feel much regret when those who
reserve their p%oliteness for important
occasions overreach themselves. The
following is an account Of me Of the
most amusing Of such blunders.
A few years ago the queen OF Hol-
land. being an invalid, visited the city
OF Heidelberg, in Germany, for medi-
cal treatment. While there she went
each Sunday TO a modest little church,
occupying the back seat in order to
escape notice.
One day a scholarly looking man,
plainly dressed, came into the church
and took a seat near the pulpit. A
few minutes later a naughty German
lady swept ur to the pew, and, seeing
a stranger In ii, ordered him by an
impervious gesture to leave 1t.
The stranger quickly obeyed; and.

A Deceptive Sea Flower.


Little fishes have other dangers to
guard against besides the hook. Here
is an account of a fisher mau fastened
to a rock, who gets many a fish into
his basket:
One Of the exquisite wonders Of the
sea is called the opelet, and is about
ms large as the German aster, looking,
indeed. very much ike one.
Imagine a very large double aster,
WITH ever so many long petals, of a
light green, glossy as satin, and each
Ole tipped with rose color. These
lovely petals do not not lie quietly In
their places. like those Of the aster In
your garden. but wave about in the
water while the opelet generally
clings TO a rock.
How innocent and lovely II looks on
its rocky bed! Who would suspect
that it would eat anything grosser
than dew or sunlight? But those beau.
tiful, waving arms. as you call them,
have other use besides looking pretty.
They have to provide food for a large,
open mouth. which is hidden down
"""n amongst them-so well hidden
one a scarcely find it.
Veil do they perform their duty, for
the instant a foolish little fish touches
one OF the rosy tips, he Is struck with
posion as fatal TO him as lightning.
He Immediately becomes numb, and
in a moment stops struggling; and
then the other beautiful arms wrap
themselves around him, and he. is
drawn into the huge, greedy mouth.
and is e no more. Then the lovely
arms unclose, and wave again in the
water, looking as though they had
never touched a fish.

mass of sticks in the top of a high,
scraGgy ard almost inaccessible tree
on the banks of the Dwan river. The
eggs are white, more or less spotted
and blatched with dry, b~lood-colored
spots and patches. The throat of one
of the eagles which had been killed,
was found to contain frogs and fish:
he was sitting by the river .clase to
the waters edge, evidently fishing.
A striking popularity of the tawny
eagle is that in the adult bird the
most of the feathers are ~parti-colored
"a portion Of each feather being rich
rufous and the remainder dark pur-
plish brown.
The hammerkop, or rain DOCTOR"
a member Of the stork family, is one
Of the most remarkable Of African
birds. Its name n'jaka, in the ma
tive dialect-has been given 1t on ac-
count of its popularity of screaming
loudly before a rain sets in. 1t is
also called the philosopher" One
q observe 1t for hours, walking up
and down on small woody places
along a river bank. During its "medi-
tation" the hammerkOp frequently
shakes it's head, but will not utter a
sound. Often its noiseless walk will
turn suddenly into a wild dance. the
cause Of this abrupt change of behav-
ior being the arrival of its mate, just
come from adding the finishing touch
es to the large and curious mud nest.
which the pair have been for several
weeks busily constructing near the
river bank.
The nests are usually in the forks of
trees. are about two feet high. and
measure from eight to nine feet in
circumference. It is really a rain
proof hut, and SO well built that it
lasts for years. Sticks, bones. large
stones and various materials are ce-
mented into the mud. The entrance is
from six to eight inches square, the
walls being from five to seven inches
thick. On a number Of occasions DR..
Holub found other birds occupying the
deserted nests OF the hammerkop. One
was occupied by a big-eared South
African owl, incubating it's three eggs:
and in another locality n pair oc
Egyptian geese were found In posses
sion Of a nest, in which they had
laid nine eggs.

From the Herald, Helena, Mont.
As rugged and hardy as one of the pines
which grow in the Rocky Mountain region
Is q. 4. Ticknor, Of Helena, Montana. For
twenty-four years he has resided in the
mountain country, but his vigor is not due
altogether to the bracing air Of Montana.
Last fall Mr.. Ticknor was what might be
termed a physical wreck. For eight weeks
he lay on his bed suffering from q severe
attack Of sciatic rheumatism in one of his
hips. Physicians n medicines CAV him
no relief and the future looked gloomy.
Added to his troubles was the anxiety con-
corning the care of . large family. By
chance one day Mr., Ticknor saw an account
Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
He said to a Herald reporter that he was
not In favor Of proprietary remedies, but
In this instance something in the article
caught his attention and he determined to
give the pills q trial. In the interview with
the Herald representative the other day,
Mr.. Ticknor spoke in the most emphatic
terms Of the marvellous change in his con
dition. Before a week had gone by" he
said, II was able to get out of bed and
about. i had hardly used one box OF
the pills. By the time ! had taken three
boxes | felt twenty years younger. In fact
i was a new man and have been perfectly
well ever since. i can't say too much for
Pink Pills and j never miss an opportunity
to praise them"
When the Herald representative saw Mr.,
Ticknor he was making some repairs on the
chool building on Boulder Avenue. He
swung his carpenters hammer with all the
yigor Of a lusty young man and looked as
hale IN hearty as any man of his years
TO be found in the entire Rocky Mountain
country. He is fifty-nine years old and is
able to do a days work at his trade of car
penter. Pink Pills can always be found il
his house. Mr.. Ticknor lives at 1910 Boulder
Avenue, near the American Biscuit Manu-.
featuring Company's plant, where he will
be glad to see anyone who wishes to verif,
this account of his experience with DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness TO the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are
also a specific for troubles peculiar to fe.
males, such as suppressions, irregularities
and all forms of weakness. They bui,d up
the blood, and restore the glow Of health
to pale and sallow checks. Pink Pills are
sold In boxes at 80 cents a box "a six boxes
