the stamp craze" The Queen of the
Netherlands, who is only sixteen years
OF age. is reported TO have said: Il
should like very much, my dear min
lister, a new series of stamps which will
SHOW me to my people just as l am
at present" Her W face does not
appear in her large collection. The
engraving on official papers will not be
changed, 1t is said, until her marriage.
Even royalty has its disappointments,
and, like other stamp collectors, the
queen has ungratified desires.

A mint for making bogus silver dol

RdYING TIP

Times have certainly been hard in the West during the last few years, but the way the mortgages have been paid off in that region shows that many have been making and saving money. Facts gathered by the Indiana Bureau of Statistics are quoted in that State to show that the people find means to pay their mortgage debts despite the business depression. The statistics are from thirteen counties, chosen at ran dom in the different sections of the State, and regarded as exhibiting aver age conditions. In these counties the aggregate of recorded outstanding mortgages was less by per cent. on May 1, 1897, than 1t was on the corre- spending date in 1896, while the total number of mortgages had fallen from 1885 in 1896 to il ,514 in 1897. From the latter showing nearly one-seventh of the people who were carrying mort gages on May l. 1896, got rid of the burden during the following year. Dur ing the year ended May 31, 1S96 the aggregate amount of the mortgages re- corded in the thirteen counties was $8,- S92, ,423, as compared with $5,757,951 in 1897. Eleven of the thirteen counties from which statistics were obtained are agricultural counties, yet the ag- gregate mortgages put upon farm prop erty during the last fiscal year in those counties was 2,7s0,S72, while sS,o27, ,O77 was borrowed on town lots and per- sonal property.

 Clubs get the whack due them as ob- stacles to marriage. They supply many of the comforts of domestic life without it's drawbacks. The cost of married life is affirmed to be greater than in former times because what once were luxuries are now family necessities. Apart from herself the woman as wife and mother demands more accessories than did her grandmother"
 All this is plausible. But those who read continually about ''the quiet wed- dings," "the home weddings" the pretty weddings" and all the other kinds of weddings will find 1t hard to believe that man is in any immediate danger of ceasing to marry. And even some of the summer girls get caught in their own traps.

something intended for wear with a. tailor stock or linen collar, something at least remotely suggestive of Q mans shirt Plaid silk, plaid gingham, cor duroy, linen lawns, plain linen, cheviot, satin, plaid velvet, anything and every thing are in 'em.
 As for the wash shirts of lawn, or gandie and gingham, there is no end of them. A great many of the simpler lawn dresses and ginghams are made with plain skirt and shirt waist to match, and some of the sweliest tailors are making such suits of dainty prints, with stiff collared and cuffed shirt waist bodice These are absolutely good form, and as inexpensive as home made gown of the same material with a fused up bodice. Of course such a shirt can go with other skirts than the one made with it.
 When the shirt waist is covered by a jacket the latter must not be a blazer unless it Is one that is distinctly of the newer type. As blazers are very popular garments, one is set here by the artist which is entirely correct. It was in tan pique, was neatly fitted and was trimmed with white braid The skirt accompanying it was gathered in back instead of being pleated. As all this is in severe tailor finish, the best color for it's shirt waist is white. though any shade that is plentiful in mems shirtings will do almost as we'll.

HOW IT HAPPENS.

Many women are asking why men Wells undertakes in the North Ameri- can Review to tell them, and what she says is well worth the attention of all interested in the question. Among the causes of celibacy are cited the sum mer girl, education, athletics and clubs, but the increased complexfty and ex- pense of our modern life are the prin- cipal reasons. The summer girl dissi- pates the young mans disposition to take his own feelings very seriously. She teaches him .'the art of filtration, fencing and of breaking off in the mid- de of a declaration" At the end of several seasons his ideals of honor and loyalty" are somewhat blurred and he is thenceforth ready for any test of his emotions which will not culminate in the fixity of feeling requisite for a wedding" "Too many summer girls is the epitaph the author would inscribe on the urn of most defunct 'inten- tions."
 Education is another obstacle. It consumes time, and just that time of life when a young man Is most likely to be carried away by his feelings "It is not enough" says Miss Wells, "to go through high school; ordinary fell lows must also go to college. When a boy finishes his four years there seven more at least lie ahead of him. if he studies for a profession, before he can earn thousand a year. The graduates of to-day argue that though wife may help some, the birth of many children flinders prosperity" ;" Education, moreover, tends to make a wife super1uous. ''The delights of knowledge" we are told, tact against haste in marriage until inclination for it has faded away. Culture is less ex- pensive than wife and her charms are more enduring. The scholar need not

 | Miss Wells feels sure that the wide-spreading popularity of athletics 1 has done more to destroy belief in the young mans supposed need of marriage | than any other institution or cause. Exercise, and plenty of it, curbs mor- 1 bid feelings of all kinds. Sport in the open air affords wholesome pleasures which divert attention from sentiment | tai considerations. The hearty enjoy ment of the wheelman spinning miles | through beautiful landscapes dwarfs

Never was the bad form waist so rampant, never was it more worth while to put out enough to secure the correct thing, You can buy a ready made affair that will pass as low as sixty cents, and they do come in the form and semblance of shirt waist as low as twenty-three cents Toward the other extreme, you can have one made to order at tailors that will cost you S6 for one or $60 for a dozen.

NEN ,TEIiSEY TOO.

The people of New Hampshire are do- Ing some Justifable growing over the comfortable financial condition of their St1te. They point with pride to the fact that New Hampshire has a surplus of $150,000 on hand, which will be used to retire a large block of bonds, and next year it will be able to reduce the State tax by $75,OOO
 This growing and this pointing with pride have moved some of the people of New Jersey to also crow and point with pride. New Jersey had $S9S,747 in It's treasury at the end of the fiscal year, with all expenses paid, and the receipts of the year exceeded the disbursements by S65,SS1.
 There was a time when the people of Connecticut could crow and point with pride just as the people of New Hamp- shire and New Jersey can now do. There was a. time when the people of Connecticut could talk learnedly and solemnly about the evils Of @ surplus and the blessings of a deficit. Now they wish they had the surplus with all it's evils, and they have appointed a commission to show them how to get it. That commission has eaten good din- ner, and will make a report by and by. If its report shows the way to financial safety and security it will perhaps be adopted and acted on if it doesn't tread on too many influential corns.

The Financial Chronicle cautiously points out that if cities are selling bonds more freely than ever before, and even if they find a ready market for them, it is not possible to deter mine whether the loans are excessive without a careful study of the pur- poses for which the borrowing is authorized For instance, it says, If the securities represent running or ordinary expenses, rather than water works,
