WHIST . Stamp Collection Did.

They are telling IN interesting little
story in Toronto, which, if not true, is
certainly ben trovato and will furnish
philatelists with q greater justification
for the indulgence in their craze than
any they have probably had before. The
receiving cashier Of the Bank of British
North America, when he was appointed,
was required to give bonds to the
amount of So, 900.
He did not find this a particularly
easy thing to do, for he had no friends
to whom he could go. In thinking over
ways and means, it struck him that per
haps his collection of stamps made
when a lad might help him out of the
difficulty, as he had some rare specimens.
He accordingly hunted out his album,
which had lain unregarded for { 90
years in an old drawer.
Then he made a catalogue and sent
it to a rich stamp collector Of his &C.
quaintance. In due course came a reply
from that gentleman saying he was pre-.
pared to give the sum of So, 900 for the
collection.
Dramatic coincid encel
The cashier thereupon took the letter
and his stamps to the bank directors
and offered them as the security he was
required to furnish. They were accept
ed, and the bank has had the stamp.
book locked up in its vault ever since.
An estimate has just been made of the
value of its contents, and the lucky
cashier finds that his stamps are worth
the snug little fortune Of 81, 000.-

my poor fellow" said the benevo-

that in a country where there is plenty
for all you should be so afflicted, but
the ways of Providence are inscrutable.

be sinful for me to interfere. But I am
sincerely interested and would be glad

The SunGowcr and Its Uses.

The sunflower is a native of America.
In 1869 it was introduced into Europe
and is now extensively cultivated there,
particularly in Russia, where it has
been grown for 80 years, principally for
the oil contained in its Seed. The seeds,
after the shells are removed, contain "a
per cen of oil. This oil is clear, light
yellow, nearly odorless, and of a pecul
lar pleasant and mild taste. 1t is said
to be superior to both almond and olive
oil for table purposes and is used in
making soap and candles. In Russia
the larger seeds are sold in immense
quantities to the lower classes Of the
people, who eat the kernels as we dc
peanuts. The stalks furnish a valuable
fertilizer, while the green leaves are
dried, pulverized and mixed with meal
as food for COWS. The stalk produces an
excellent fiber. 1t is said that Chinese
silk goods commonly contain more or
less sunfiower fiber. The so called Nj
ger seed oil is made from a species of
the sunf1ower family which is a native
of Abyssinia. 1t furnishes the common
lamp oil of upper India, where it is
largely cultivated.

if they we're defeated last Novem-

"There are a great many nor
silver republicans in the country
than many people suppose. When
you figure up the way they voted
last election and estimate how many
democrats supported the gold ticket
you can STE that the silver republi-
can force is enormous. Those silver
republicans are just as much opposed
to the gold standard now as they
ever were, and yet they do not know
just what step to take. The silver
issue they understand, is paramount
to all others and will be the main
issue with them. Its object will the
correction of financial abuses now
