London Letter.

funny story is being told OF Lady Jeune,
the celebrated Mrs. Leo Hunter of this end
OF the century, in connection with the pres
ent much -joked-at poet laureate Alfred Aus
judge OF the Divorce Court has taken Mr..
Austin under her wing and has been "show-
ing him round in the most amiable fashion
possible. She took him the other day to the
clerk to Mr.. Somers Somerset, and the little
man passed unnoticed in the crowd of fash
ionable folk assembled at the church. The
usher who was leading Lady Jeune forward
TO a prominent position in the building took
no notice of poet Alfred at all, and Lady
Jeune seemed to have forgotten all about
him. When she got to her place, however,
memory returned TO her, and she looked
round and about, up and down, for the au-
thor Of 'Jameson's Ride" He was nowhere
to be seen.
Dear me-" she said, 'I have lost the
Laureate; do go and fetch him." The ush-
er thus appealed 20 went and dug the miser-
able poet out of an ambush of huge sleeves
behind which his small person was quite
lost. Then. with a good deal of fiutter and
seat, and the whisper went around:
There's Poet Laureate-that little man;
don't you see nim?'
He occupied an unnecessarily conspicuous
position till the arrival of the bride, when
he once more sank into insigniflcance.
Lady Jeune, during the intervals of looking
after the poet, is giving afternoons at the
ceives." by invitation only. from o'clock
until Z. That this is a great boom for the
palace goes without saying, for, seriously
speaking, Lady Jeune is very charming
woman, and occupies a unique position in
English society. The great everybody COM

OUR POSTAGE STAMPS.
Some Varieties the General Public
Never Sees.
The Pathfinder.


The government now makes about four
teen denominations of postage stamps: they
are the /, 2, 3. 4. 5. 6, s, 10. Il and 50-cent
stamps and the 81, 81 and s. denomina-
tions. Very few people I'm the postal serv-
ice even can tell you the use of the 81 and
S. varieties, however, for really they rare
ly have any other use than the gratifica-
ton of the whimsical tastes of stamp-col-
lectors. Besides these postage stamps there
are made what are known as the period
ical stamps"-that is, stamps with which
newspaper publishers prepay the postage
on their editions at pound rates. These
are never sold. but are attached to the
stubs of the receipts which are given to the
publishers for the money paid for postage
on the publications. Not even a publisher
can buy them, and they never pass into
the possession of the unofficial public They
are made in denominations which range
all the way from ] cent TO 500. Besides
these are made the postage DUE and spe-
cial delivery stamps.
The bureau keeps on hand store of
stamps equal to almost any emergency.
There are now in its vaults more than
two hundred and fifty million, and the
mandatory is running on fun. time Last
year there were produced nearly two and
a half billions; yet with the constantly in
creasing demand no cessation in the cre-
alton of supply Is possible. 1t is estimated
that stamps cost the government some
thing like ) cents a thousand. Receipts
from the sale of them last year were, on
an average, more than million dollars a
month. More than 80 per cent. of all those
sold were of the two-cent denomination.

five minutes when a man who looked fully

About ten minutes"

His Best Speech.

1t is with great sorrow that a man who

what he thinks a great speech finds that
IL must he delivered to empty sat during
a night session. During the bond bill dis
cussion in the House. Dolliver. of Iowa,
soothed some Of those in this unfortunate
position with recital Of his experience in
the famous tariff fight OF the F.fty-first
Congress Everybody knows what a gift
of eloquence has Doiiiver, of Iowa. He ex-
pected to make name on that occasion.
Then he was fresh and new. When his ex-
pectation was highest he was informed by
Mr.. Mckinley that he could have half an
hour of time. That was delightful. "You
will speak tonight said Mckinley. That
was different, and Doiver protested.
why" said, Mckinley my first tariff
speech was delivered at night. when hardly
any one was present, and. L tell you, 1 have
never made better speech on the subject -
DoIliver went of dissatisfied but sienced.
That night there was but one other MEM
Der and himself in the House Both were
there to deliver their speeches. The next
day Mckinley asked how he got along. II
