ABOUT POSTAGE STAMPS.

Stamp collectors continue to issue
protests against unnecessary issues. -
and the little republics and kingdoms
go right along issuing them. If the col
lector would lot buy the stamps the is
sue would cease. Do they ever think OF
that?
The three leading stamp catalogues
for 1897 are out, and they differ con-
siderably in prices. This is to be ex-
pected, however, since dealers regulate
prices by stock they have on hand.
This creates confusion in the mind of
the amateur collector. until he discov-
ers the reason.
The biggest registered letter ever
mailed in the United States was box
containing the testimony and exhibits
in recent suit concerning the chloride
process of extracting gold. The post
age was S1S7. 1t was sent from New
York to Pretoria. South Africa. The
largest previous record was $40.
The Boston Journal says that peri
odical stamps are only bits of COL
ored paper" and if the government will
not sell them to collectors, the collect
ors are justified in getting them by
hook and crook. The assumption that
collectors must have these stamps is
very amusing. What dreadful things
would happen if they could not get
them? Would they die?

SELECTIONS OF VERSE.
The Old Mirror.


When this century was born, and lying
In its infant robes of fieecy snow,
That old mirror on the wall was vying
With the sunshine in its cheering glow,
And its bright beams
Gloriied those days of long ago.
Rugged features thought and work per
fected.
Dignified and mellowed, there were
framed;
And the maiden's laughing eyes reflected
Beauty's face. with mischiefs glance
proclaimed,
Blushing deeply
If one rustic swain was only named.
Casting Ger its surface eyes of wonder
Oft nv mother as babe was tosseo'
And l look into its depths and ponder
On the sunny years that have lost;
All, but could she
Smile from there. once more, at any COST!
When the climbing rose bloomed in profu-
sion,
That old glass flashed back the bridal veil.
When the sere leaf marked the years Sc
clusion,
In this darkened room life's blossom, traii
In it's beauty,
Lay. and tears. and signs, could not avaii!
Like the golden sunbeams on the river
Youths bright smiles still by the glass
are cast
Buoyant hopes and laughing voices ever
Cast in shadow all the fading past.
Like the mirror.
Loves sweet face will earth's dark
clouds outlalst.

A STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE.
A Kingston Man Who Expected q Legacy
Missing In London.

Kingston, N. Y, July 27.-Thomas
Telford, a well known veterinarian Of
this city, who sailed for Europe on
June 30, accompanied by his brother-in-
law, Michael J. Kelly of New York,
mysteriously disappeared from the Fuss
ton station, London. from which place
the two men had secured tickets to Car
isle. their destination. All efforts of
the London police to find .Telford have
failed. Kelly has returned here with the
sad news, and Telfords wife is dis
tracted.
For over a year past Telford claimed
he had fallen heir to many thousand
pounds cash and much valuable lands
and extensive wooden mills through the
death of an aged aunt in Scotland, and
it was on this account that he went
abroad
1t is now claimed that this story of
the Inheritance was a myth and that
letters purporting to come from alleg-
ed foreign solicitors which Telford ex-
hibited among his friends here were
all written by young man in this city.
Mrs. Telford refused to be interviewed
regarding the matter.

From scieutitic experiments upon
more than 1900 persons, DIR. J. H. KEEL
logg, of Battle Creek, Mich. has deter
mined the effects of one ounce of alco-
hol administered internally to be the
following: ~ To diminish nerve ac-
tivity; ~ to diminish cerebral activity;
(S) to impair the co.ordinating power
of the brain; (4) to lessen muscular
strength; (5) to decrease digestive &C.
tiVity TO notable extent. Both his
medical experience and laboratory re-
search have convinced him that it is
an error to regard alcohol as an aid to
digestion, as ii has proven highly detri-
mental. This influence upon the di-
gestion, he declares, is exactly what
would be expected of drug that, like
alcohol, is paralyzer of protoplasmic
activity, an anaesthetic and a sedative,
and not, as has been enormously sup
posed, stimulant.
Ireland of prehistoric times was the
gold country of Europe. In no other
country, at any rate, has so much man
ufactured gold of early ages been found,
not less than 400 specimens of Irish
golu antiques being contained in the
museAn of the Royal Irish Academy
alone, while the British Museum gold
antiques illustrative of British history
are entirely Irish. Trinity College,
Dublin, has many fine examples, and
there are large private collections. Ma
tive gold occurs in seven localities in
Ireland, and the ancient miners may
have had sources of supply that are
now worked out or lost.

A New Woman.

She's up-to-date and strictly new;
And yet she's not aflame with zeal
She wears no skirt that's sewn in two,
She is not skilled to ride wheel.
Her sex's wrongs she does not feel;
No public scheme her thoughts pursue;
And yet, the fact l can't conceal,
She's very new.
Her souls ideals are scant and few,
Yet not by man is she controlled;
And though her eyes are deeply blue,
No occult force her glances hold.
She cares not for the days of old,
Nor does the future charm her view;
She does not work for fame nor gold.
And yet she's new.
All homage at her shrine is due;
Her claim no mortal dares to scorn;
She from the Infinite takes her cue;
She's fresh as earth's primeval morn.
She faces life with powers unworn;
For, now to prove my statements true.
It's scarce one moon since she was born
You see, she's new!
