A STAMP REGISTER.

An Ingenious Adaptation by a Brooklyn
Boy.
Collectors always like to keep account
of their stock, but this is not easy unless
the stamps be counted every few days
or a careful record made of all pur-
chases, sales or exchanges. Jack Full
ton of Brooklyn has devised an arrange
ment which he has pasted in the back of
his album and which saves much trouble.
The idea is taken from the perpetual
calendars sold everywhere. You may
have as many slips as you please, the
names of the countries to be written over
them. Alter the figures to tens. hun
kept in the opening at the center, the
marker being drawn up or down:

Vandalism by Students.

Stories of vandalism by students have
been agreeably scarce recently, and we
might have supposed that an era of de-
cency and sense had dawned on the pres
ent generation of collegians. From Dart
mouth. however. comes an account OF an
act which. while it did not involve much
damage to property, was especially sick
ening. The night preceding, commence
ment day. the long pine hands We're
stolen from the clock in the front gable
of Dartmouth hall. The fact that this
clock has been telling the hours for over
ninety years ought of itself to have pro-
tected it from those who had the slight
est filial affection for their alma mater.
The most distressing feature OF 1t ALL
however. is the development. if it is true,
that the entire graduating class joined in
this piece of harbarty that ia sten the
hands which we're divided into sixty
eight parts, so that each member Of 30 !,
might have piece as souvenir.

exploit. is a blot on American college life.

DEATH OF A QUEER MAN.
Affected in a Remarkable Manner After
Eating Meat.

Thomas Foote, % years old, died at
his home near Hancock, n. Y, under pc
culiar circumstances. He was affected
by what he ate to such an extent that
when he INDUCED in beef he would be-
come restless, wander out and below
like an OK, going down on his hands
and knees to eat grass. After he par
took of mutton his actions were those
lamb. When he ate chickens he would go
out and scratch for worms. which he de-
voured with apparent relish. His father
killed some squirrels, of which the son
ate heartily. He left the house and was
followed by his father. who soon saw his
son jumping from limb to limb of tree,
barking like squirrel He called for
him to come down, but this only seemed
to make the boy want to escape and he
attempted to jump from one tree to an
other. He missed his footing, fell to
the ground and expired in less than five

WARM WEATHER DIET.
Meat to be Eschewed-Fish, Fowls and
Vegetables to be Eaten.

Meat to be Eschewed-Fish, Fowls and
Vegetables to be Eaten.
That some change in our diet is desir-
able when the warm days come we all
feel Meat that was a necessity during
the cold weather can be very well re-
placed to some extent by fish and fowls.
Vary the menu as much as possible. Use
as many cooked vegetables and fresh
fruits as possible. If the fresh fruit can
not be eaten continue to serve the dry
fruits, which, after several hours soak
ing in cold water, will regain much of
their original succulency. Watercress
and spring onions we have now in abund-
ance, and these, added to PURGE of any
some.
Apart from it's desira bility for it's own
sake. fruit is valuable because it assists
the digestion of other food. ParadoXical
as it may seem, fruit both warns and
cools the blood. Sugars and acids are so
evenly balanced here that while one cools
the other warns, neither preponderating
to the detriment of the other.
We must borrow from the vegetarians.
From them. at least. we can learn to cook
cereals They all require we'll washing
and soaking in cold water for several
hours; those that float on the surface may
be thrown away. Always cook cereals
in a double boiler, starting with a little
water. which should be added to by de-
crees as required. Boil until every ker-
mel stands alone. Rice is not properly ap-
preciated. 1t may be cooked in many
ways-fried in cakes, baked in the oven
like a pudding, only without sugar. made
into croquettes and served as dessert
with a fruit sauce, which is made OF the
fresh fruit crushed in sugar.

CRISPI'S COAT OF MAIL.
The Italian Prime Minister Fears Assassi-
nation and is Always Armored.

Premier Crispi of Italy, it is interesting
to know, has recently made preparations
to defend himself against possible assassi,
nation. Ever since the last attempt upon
his life this eNcitable prime minister has
been in constant state of alarm, and
he fears dagger or bullet ut almost
every corner and upon every occasion.
To ease his mind he has lately had made
for him a coat of chain mail, such as
the chevaliers wore in the Middle ages,
which he wears under his outer shirt
1t is very light, exceedingly solid and
of double thickness over the heart. Its
power of resistance is such that not only
will it afford protection aginst the slen>
derest of stilettos, but a revolver bullet
cannot penetrate it. In workmanship it
is beautiful piece of construction, and
so flexible and easy to wear that it oc-
casions no discomfort to the noted man
who dons it. Probably it is the finest
coat of chain mail ever manufactured,
for it has all the improvements of mod
ern armor combined with the utility and
strength of the medieval metal gar
meEtS.
The cleverest of the clever armorers
of Naples (who, by the way, should hence,
forth be known as the "Armorsuit Poole'')
constructed it, and only charged the prime
minister 600 francs ($12O), a marvelously
low price for such unique garment.

BIGGEST SEA LION DEAD.
Inc Longtime Chief Attraction of the

The Longtime Chief Attraction of the
Cliff Seal Rocks Expires.
Ben Butler is dead. That macnif-
cent specimen of the sea lion who for
forty years has been one of the attrac-
tons at the Cliff house. f1oated in with
the tide yesterday morning sorely wound-
ed: and lay his great bulk down on the
soft sand in the shallow water and calmly
awaited the end.
AS the tide ebbed away he raised him
self with great effort, turned his eyes
towards his companions on the rocks
and beloved pitifully as if expressing
his intense sorrow His cry was an.
swered by Il chorus of roars such as had
never been heard before on the seal
rocks. Then he turned up his side, pre-
pared for his fate.
The Workmen at the new Cliff house.
Which is in the course of construction,
Were attracted by the unusual scene
ana w. u. Blunt and L. Samuel. en-
gagged IN arranging the museum, waded
out to the deathbed of the aged bull.
When they reached him he was fast ex-
piring. He turned his great eyes upon
them, attracted by the sympathy which
they expressed. Making one feeble eff
fort to raise his head, he uttered a moan
and died without a struggle
The men were deeply affected by the
scene and stood in silence for several
minutes.
Then they prepared for his removal
to the shore, task that was by no
means an easy one. The great fellow
weighed 1890 pounds, and was over Is
feet long and s feet 8 inches around the
body.
The peculiar marks of age-a long,
shaggy name and foretop of hair some
five inches in length-proved to those
who knew him we'll that the dead sea
lion was really Ben Butler
There had been war on the seal rocks
and ben Butler had got the worst of
several hard battles. His wounds were
fresh but not deep. 1t required twelve
men and four horses to remove the
body. They had all they could do to
convey the charge to the museum The
work occupied nearly the whole day.

ENGLISH BICYCLING ATTIRE.
Graceful and Pretty Suits, Though Not
KnickerbOckers.

Graceful and Pretty Suits, Though Not
Txnickerbockers.
The Princess Adolphus of Teck is the
latest recruit to the ranks of the lady
bicycHsts, and very we'll she looked on her
machine, for she is slight and graceful.
The loose Zouave knickerbockers which
are almost sine qua non among the lady
riders abroad, have not caught on here;
nor do we, while retaining our feminine
attire, make it as masculine as possible;
that is, OF course, unless we are new
women. Most of us manage, however,
to bicycle successfully without adopting
the advanced creeds of the Pioneer club;
and though we disdain every sort of
"fallar in our bicycling attire, we like
to have it dainty. The smartest costumes
usually have plain skirts of thin tweed
neat CATERS, which are usually worn
over patent leather shoes. These skirts
are frequently lined with some pale silk,
and a neat blouse is made of the same
silk, while knickerbockers of the dress
material are often, but not always, a part
of the costume. A neat little straw
toque, prettily, but not too deliberately,
trimmed. and loose gauntlet gloves usual
ly complete the attire. In Paris. l be-
bicycling is much despised by her sister
riders. Here positions are reversed, and
we are inclined to smile pityingly on the
damsel who dons knickerbockers. | sup
pose it is only craze and that we shall
all get as tired of bicycling as most of
us have of lawn tennis or croquet, or any
other fashionable amusement; but it is
Il very delightful one while it lasts, and
for one hope it will last for long time.
Happily, as doctors seem to approve of it
as an exercise for women, it will probably
continue to grow in favor for some time
to come-I4ondOn Letter.

THE TOMATO CROP IN DANGER.
Blight Threatened by the Ravages of a
Little Insect.

The destruction of the New Jersey
tomato crop is threatened by blight,
caused by a peculiar insect, something
entirely new to tomato growers. In
Cumberland county whole acres are be-
ing destroyed and in some parts of the
county the plants are being plowed up
to make room for other crops The in
sect has appeared in Salem county and
growers are viewing Its deprcdations
with alarm. Howard Harris, large
grower residing in Elsinboro township,
took sample of the affected vines to the
agricultural experiment station at New
Brunswick. He learned that there was
no remedy for the blight unless it is
taken in it's early stages.
Packers are viewing the matter with
alarm Canned goods have been low,
but the price is now increasing and many
packers are holding their stock until the
result of the devasta ton is known.
New Jersey furnishes nearly one-fourth
of the total tomato pack of the United
States. which is over 100000 cases.
The pack of this state in 1894 was 99O,-
600 cases, or 23,96O,OOO cans. Last year
it was trihe less. Of this quantity
Salem county furnished about one-half.
or 12O0O.00O cans, and 100000 were
packed in this city.
