lie COLLECTING MANIA.
just Now the Contemporary Poster is
the Chief Attraction.

Anyone who has ever suffered at
any time from the mania for collect
ing, in any Of its forms, must feel it
in these days constant tax upon his
powers of self-restraint TO keep his
hands off ofthe contemporary poster.
The posters in particular with which
some of the publishers announce the
new numbers of magazines, and
sometimes new books, are a constant
temptation. Anyone who has ever
collected anything must feel that
they are too fascinating TO be neg
lected, and that not to gather them
as they appear is q neglect of oppor.
tunity that is almost criminal.
For the solace Of persons who have
this impulse and refuse to yield to
it, it is pleasure to point out that,
after all, the collector is slave to
his hobby, and the more things he
collects the more masters he puts
over himself. To be able to see
pretty things, and not to be bitten
with the desire to take them home
and salt them down, even when they
can be had for the asking, is an at
tainment which promises to be quite
as valuble for its rarity as most of
the things that ordinary collectors
acquire. When we see the awful
length to which the postage-stamp
mania has gone, and the prodigious
accumulations of photographs which
overwhelm most contemporary fami-
lies, we may surely Justify ourselves
in some stitfening of our resolution
not to drift into the habit OF hoard
ing even pretty things that we do
not really want. 1t is so easy to be-
gin collecting, and so unsatisfactory
to stop after one has once started!
Let us be stiff-necked-somc of us,
at least-and maintain that not 10 be
a collector is distinction, Just as it
is not to have had ones picture in
the newspapers.-Harper's Weekly.

coLLecTloN Of STAMPS.
The United States Trying Secure a
Specimen Of Every Issue.

Specimen Of Every issue.
The post office department has be-
gun the collection Of stamps of all
the foreign countries Of the world,
as well as those Of the United States.
Capt. Brooks, superintendent Of the
foreign mail service, has two large
stamp albums, containing places
for every stamp issued, aud makes
requests Of the various nations for
u set OF their stamps or specimens.
There are in all about $1,000
stamps issued, and up to date about
1000 have been secured. A great
difficulty in securing a complete set
arises from the fact that certain
principalities Of Europe, now in
Guided in the domains Of nations,
continue the use Of their individual
stamps. For instance, says u Wash
ington correspondent OF the New
York Times, Wurtemberg and
Baden, in Germany, use the same
stamps they did when governed by
their grand dukes. These pass only
in the principalities named and are
not good even over the rest of Ger
many. This fact causes much con-
fusion, and extra expense to tourists
travelling on the continent. II an
American in Wurtemberg buys a
stamp OF that priucipality and mails
it in Berlin, or even Wurtemberg,
TO anyone in America, the letter
reaches its destination, but an extra
charge Of 10 cents is made before
delivery.
A dozen years ago each depart
ment OF the United States had dis
tinct issue of stamps, which, since
the use of the penalty frank on en-
velopes, have to all appearances
gone completely out of existence.
Those that have not been destroyed
have found their way in the hands Of
stamp dealers and stamp collectors.
There are but few complete sets
left.

DEATH OF EX-SENATOR THuamAN.

In the death of ex-senator Thurman,
the Democratic party loses one of Its
abless opponents, and the nation one Of
it's greatest statesmen. Although he
had retired from active life some years
ago, he ct all times took deep interest
in the policy and SUCCESS OF the party
with which he was 80 long associated,
and services.
Born in Virginia and educated in
Ohio. he began the practice of law in
his 22nd year in that State and rapidly
rose to position and homer. After serv.
ing term in Congress he was elected
chief justice of the supreme court OF
Ohio. distinguishing himself both as q
law-maker and jurist, and refusing re-
election in each instance.
Distinguished ss Mr.. Thurman's SER
vices had been before, it WAS as a
United States Senator that he earned q
most envisble reputation for learning
and ability, as we'll as warm place in
the affections of the people of the South,
of protection against the hostile legis-
lation of radical Republicans. Pure
and incorruptible in his public and pri .
vase life, and firm and incorporating
in defense OF the principles which he ad-
vocated, he we'll deserved the title of
Noble Old Roman bestowed upon him by
his countrymen in admiration for his
strength and integrity OF character.
His days on earth are ended, but the
history OF his life will long sdorn the
annuals Of his country. and he leaves
behind him an example which the youth
OF the land may we'll emulate il they
wish to earn the respect and admiration
OF their countrymen, and the esteem of
those who value devotion to principle
and integrity as the highest elemen .s in
human character.

HELP FOB CHRISTIANS.
The Appeal to the Missionary Board FC
Help Meets Response.

The Appeal to the Missionary Board For
Help Meets a Response.
ROsTON Dec. 1a.-The news that
the American missionary board had
cabled an appeal for help is regarded in
missionary circles here as undeniable
evidence of the desperate need of those
who have suffered from Turkish depre-
dations and have been deprived OF every.
thing they possessed by murderous
Moslems.
Rev Judson Smith, D. D secretary
OF the American board of forsign mis-
sion commissioners, said to repre-
sentative Of The Associated Press that
the statements are entirely creditable.
Although information shows the num-
Der killed to reach $4,000 since our
latest advices were sent, there has been
q number of addition ii msssacres, which
may bring the total up to 100000, as
stated in the appeal.
DIR. Smith then alluded to the relief
work OF the missionaries of the board
and said they had been much hampered
by lack Of funds. 1--WE trust" he con-
tinued, "that The Associated Press will
send the appeal broadcast throughout
the land, as the delay in receiving
money is causing 80 much misery and
restitution among the unfortunate suf-
ferers. I will write Miss Clara Barton,
OF the Red Cross organization, TO take
up the distribution of funds imme-
diately."
Up to to day Sl1,97G has been re-
oeived by those in charge OF the relief
fund. The money Is being cabled to
ConStantinOple as soon as received,
