the Minister of Posts and TeIeyrnubs
From the New York Herald
NJ Grasset, the well-krown artist, was
more than eight months ago commissioned
by M. Andre Lebon, then minister of posts
and telegraphs. to design a new postage
stamp for the French republic
After much painstaking work the designs
er has submitted to NJ. Mesureur the pres
ent minister of posts. his composition. a
REPRODUCTION OF which is published by the
Figaro.
According to our contemporary the new
stamp has two shades One color whicl,
forms the ground, will be of a dark shade.
a half tint will throw into effect certain
portions of the composition, and other por-
tons OF the stamp, such as the hands and
cheeks of the figure. will be in white, Civ
ing the whole animation and life
Two successive printings will be neces-
sary to AXE the stamp perfect-one for
the deep and the other fer the soft shades
The curly hair of the figure will be rep
resented in the half-tint as also her arynor
and the folds of her dress
The distinguishing feature of the nrocas;
by means cf which this drawing will np en-
graved is the fact that ii is first of all en-
graved in relief on block of steel The
result will be that not only will the stamp
have an artistic value. but forgery becomes

GENEROUS NATURE INDEED.
She Supplies Free Chicken Soup in
Elko County, New.

She Supplies Free Chicken Soup in
Elko County, New.
From the San Francisco Examiner
The free soup houses might have been
dispensed with during the hard times if the
people of Nevada had only put up barrels
of the chicken soup that bubbles from the
| hills beyond the Sierra Nevada, in Elko
county, and had dispatched it to the poor
in our great cities.
Incredible as 1t may seem, it is, never
theiess, fact that soup is natural pro-
duct, and have often satisfied my hunger
from this boiling hot spring, which, judg-
ing by the palate, is simply natures soup
tureen.
The pool. scarcely 100 yards in diameter.
lies just OFF the stage road The traveller
comes upon it just after crossing the toll
bridge over the Humboldt river which
rushes like cataract through the Hum
boldt valley far below, making Chicken
| soup spring seem rather Insignificant; but
in reality this wonderful little body of wa
ter has beer sounded to the depth of 2OO
feet, while the turbulent waters below are
shallow in comparison.
The south side OF the pool is deepest.
and seems to be the source from which
the peculiar solution flows, for the bub-
bling, boiling water on that side will cook
a goose egg in two minutes. 1t is COM
mon sight to see tourists vending their
way with bags of crackers in their hands.
The ne1ghboring roadbed is baIIasted on
one side by what appears to be a covering
of hardened lime; but it is in reality pure
crushed lava of unmistakable volcanic ori-
gin, for lying in close proximity are evil
Gences of volcanic eruptions.
The pool has been dragged many times.
but nothing has ever been taken from its
depths but cedar. Cedar trees once abound
ed in this locality, and the bark which
bears marks of considerable age, was prob
ally thrown in by the Indians, while build
ing their RATS and canoes.
This wonderful freak, lying about three
and oEc-half miles from the rough little
mining town of Elko, is never visited by
the inhabitants unless they are passing that
way ard feel hungry. The miners and the
rest of the matter-of-fact pop llaton have
l6pg ceased to wonder at natures par
tiality, and accept the existence of this
boiling soup caldron as a convenient fact
Whether 1t is due to the mineral properties
OF the SOIL or t: the close proximity OF lava
beds, or Is itself q volcano in a mild state
of aqueous eruption, I know not. But
there it is, end any one who will go to
Elko can easily find the spring and sample
the soup to corrobcrate my statements
This spring is simply one of many SIR
prises that greet wanderers through all this
section of the west, and doubtless the rea
sen 1t causes little comment is because all
tie inhabitants have become used to these
eviderces of generous nature There are
any number of clear hot springs in this re-
gion where the tired traveller NAV eniov

mineral springs bubbling up out of the lava

A Door knocker of Pure Gold-

From the Independent

a palace of the archbishops of Canterbury.
in which Wolsey is said to have held his
court. 1t was but a small place. and is
now a farm house, picturesque enough.
but exhibiting no special signs of pros
perity. The other day, however, this li:tls
incident happened: The farmer sent for a
carpenter to do some odd jobs about the
house, and, among other things. to mend
the knocker. The man took il off and
said. after a close examination of il: ID,
You know what this knociler is made OFF,
why, brass, i suppose" No, il is pure
gold" And it was. Think of the wears
that that rich prize had hung at the mercy

Kleptocllpla.

To believe French writer, there are
 no fewer than foU.' thousand women
 caught every year in stealing during their shopping expeditions, a habit eu- phoniously styled kleptomania. The number of titled ladies seized with this strange malady while examining the fashions of Paris, he tells us, is incred- ible. Among the most recent culprits were a Russian duchess, a French countess, an English duchess and the daughter of reigning sovereign. As a rule, these distinguished offenders are let off on the payment of a round sum for the relief of the poor; when the shoplifter is known to be rich, the sum extracted rises to as much as, ten thousand francs. The police authori- ties consent to this sort of conformation.
