For Stamp Collectors.

Four or five years ago the fashion of
ornamenting white china plates by postage
stamps or parts of stamps arranged in vari-
Gus patterns was popular all over the oouD.
try. Many novel and interesting designs
were produced, and some Of the plates OK
plaques were made with such care and de-
signed and arranged with such taste that
they could fairly be called works of art.
AS tho commonest stamps were just as
good for this purpose as any others, 1t
seems pity that the fancy for suoh work
died out.
Oneof the oldest collectors In New York
lately placed on exhibition a number Of
philatelio brooches, lookets, bracelets, etc.,
which were very beautiful. He took un-
used copies of United States envelopes
which were clearly embossed, and cutting
out the oval portraits used them just az II
they were canoes, inclosing them in DIFF
ferent varieties Of gold and silver frames.
Perhaps the most beautiful were the lock-
cts or brooches bearing Queen Viotoria's g
portrait, which were taken from the Eng
lish envelopes made Of heavy white paper,
and from the early envelopes of Ceylon,
Tasmania, etc. Many other interesting
designs were made from portions Of post
age stamps. Harper Round Table.

Lord Byron's Protest.

Lord Byron suffered from various an.
noyances to which all famous personages
are subjected. In an effort to avoid one
of them bo wrote the following letter,
which was addressed to the editor of Galig-
nani's Messenger, Paris, and was dated
from Venice, Italy, April 81, 1919:
"Sir: In various numbers of your jour-
nal have soon mentioned work entitled
'Tho Vampire, with the addition Of my
name as that of the author. am not the
author and never heard Of the work in
question until now. In more recent pa
per l perceive formal annunciation of
'The Vampire, with tho addition of an
account of my residence in the island of
Mityleno'-an island which l have occa
sionally sailed by in the course Of travel
ing somo years ago through the Levant,
and where should have no objections to
reside, but where have never yet resided.
Neither Of these performances are mine,
and / presume that 1t Ia neither unjust
nor ungracious to request that you will
favor me by contradicting the advertise
ment to which sllude. II tho book Is
clever, 1t would be base to deprive the real
writer, whoever he may be, of his honor,
and IL stupid 1 desire the responsibility
Of nobody's dullness but my own"

An article Oh "iieroism Ia the Light

for gho Century. Mr. Kobbe quotes the
following letter, written to n friend by
Mrs. Grant, who lived for many years ON
White Head, or tho Maine ooast: Some.
times / think the time IL not far distant
when shall climb these Lighthouse stairs
no moro. Ii has almost seefned 30 mo that
tho light WAS s part of myself. When wo
had care Of tho old lard oil lamps on Ma
tinicus Rock, thoy were more dinfcult tn
tend than these lamps arc, and sometimes
they would not burn SO well when FIRST
lighted, especially In cold weather when
the oil got cool. Then some nights could
not sleep wink all night, though knew
tho keeper himself was watching. And
many nights have watched the lights my
part Of the night and then could not sleep
the rest of the night thinking nervously
what might happen should the light fail.
In all these years always put the lamps
IN order In tho morning, and lit them vt
sunset. Those old lamps-as they wcro
when my father lived on Matinicus Rock
ARE 80 thoroughly impressed on my
memory that even now often dream OF
them. There were IA lamps and IA reflect
ors. When dream Of them, - always
seems to me that have been. away long
while and am trying to get back In timo
to light the lamps. Tten l am half way
bstween Matinicus and White Head and
huryjng toward the rock to light the
lamps there before sunset Sometimes I
walk on the water, sometimes am in o
boat and sometimes Seem going In the
air-I must always see the lights burning
in both places before wake. always go
through the same scenes In cleaning the
lamps and lighting them, and l feel .
great deal more worried in my dreams than
when am awake.

Senator Hoar is regarded by younger
senator's as the ablest man in the senate,
and some go so far as to add the foremost
statesman now in public life. At any rate
Mr. Hoar is probably the best read man in
the senate says correspondent in the
New York Tribune. He is gifted with q
marvellous memory and Is able to quote
at an instant's notice verse or prose which
he holds to be fitting to the occasion. One
day not long ago when eulogizing Eng
land Senator Hoar delivered, with much
evolutionary fervor, this verse;
More great than ever now and more august,
Now glorified she from her fires doth rise.
Her widening streets OH new foundations trust.
And opening into larger parts she flies
Now like a maiden green she doth behold
To her high turrcts hourly suitors come.
The east with incense and the west with gold
Shall stand like suppliants TO receive hei
DOOM
All this was charming and made quite
an impression, until Senator Stewart, who
bad listened intently, remarked savagely,
"That is So" Senator Hoar paused for q
moment and considered what he had said,
then quickly added, ooh, do not mean
to have the United States stand up and be
counted in that company" OF course the
laugh was ut Mr.. Hoar's expense, and
Senator Stewart enjoyed 1t immensely.

The Makers Of Dwarf Trees.

Closely related 10 the Chinese farmers is
the class Of men who, with taste for the
quaint and artistic, earn living as land
scape gardeners. They delight In produc-
ing miniature copies Of nature. Narrow
walks wind In and out through dwarfod
and grotesque shrubbery. Tiny ponds are
spanned by dainty bridges. The scene sug-
gests playground for the wee ones, either
little children or fairies To produce the
dwarf trees, the gardeners either connpe
the roots within small, iron bound cask,
pr the moro rapid method Is to select n
vigorous branch upon the desired tree,
and bind around IL band Of leaf mold.
This Is kept moist until roots creep into
the mold; then tho branch Is severed from
tho trcc. Soon flowers and fruit develop,
for their buds were formed by the parent
tree. ee.-Lippincott's Magazine.

BEFORE MORSE'S MESSAGE.
The First Working Telegraph Limo Was

The First Working Telegraph Line Was
at Princeton College.
The campus WIRE" as the students
called 1t, WAS the thing which sxcited the
most wonderful speculation when Henry
was at Princeton. DR.. Edward Shippen
of Philadelphia, of the class of '45, states
that it ran along from Philosophical hall,
by the front of North college, among the
outer branches of some of the fine trees,
and then round thowestern end to Profess.
or Henry's house, which was west OF
North college and south Of the old library
and Recitation hall. This wire was the
first In which the current was completed

at the professors house, the other end be.

Professor Henry often used the campus
wire in the presence of the students, al
though he was Aot given TO superfuous
experiments He had an arbitrary code
II he wanted his luncheon sent over, he
worked his armature q few times scoord
ing to the code. Mrs. Henry received the
message. The students waited, and pres
entity Sam would appear bringing the pre-
else articles ordered on O tray covered
with napkin.
This simple exhibition of what II now
an everyday transaction was then q source
of wonder. This occurred again and again

Statement Reiterated.

London, June 21.-The Washington
correspondent of The Daily Chronicle
reiterates his previous statement as to
the alleged instructions given by Presi-
dent Mckinley to General Stewart L.
Woodford. the minister Of the United
States to Spain, and adds: Spain will
be permitted to exercise merely titular
sovereignty over Cuba. She will be COM
PEELED to withdraw her troops and to
permit the Cubans to make their own
laws, to raise their own revenue and to
control their own expenditure. Presi-
dent Mckinley believes that Cuba must
ultimately be annexed to the United
States. The withdrawal Of the Spanish
troops will lead to a repetition of the
Hawaiian incident.

Profits From the Percupine.

Porcupine quills are necessary Of life
to anglers, for they make excellent floats
for bottom fishing. Also scores of pen
holders are made from the black and white
spikes, and many kinds of ornamental
screens and fans arc pieoed and knitted Of
these quills
Something like 1900, ZOO porcupine
quills reach Britain every year, and they
chiefly come from India, also few from
Spain. The animal has to be hunted and
killed before the quills can bc obtained,
and many hundreds Of porcupines arc
slain for this purpose every yoar. The
quills arc carefully extracted and dried,
packed In crates and shipped away to
Europe, whore they are used for all man
ner of things In tho way of tackle and or
namentation. A porcupine Is always
worth killing, for every "spike pig" car
ries 10 shillings' worth of quills on his
frotful back.--London Answers.
