Big and Little Postage STAMINA.

large apd some very small stamps.
This country has the honor of having
issued the largest stamp ever made
an old five-cent stamp, restricted to
the mailing of packages of newspapers,
and not intended for letter use. This
stamp was four inches long by two
inches wide-about two-thirds as large
as an ordinary bank note.
The quarter-shilling stamp of Neck
enburgSchwerin, which was issued
in 1856, is the smallest ever issued
less than one-fourth the size of the
current penny English stamp-and it

Says E. v. S. Smalley in the New
York Post:-A real estate man who
goes about this city good deal tells
me that there are today in Chicago
5000 vacant fats and dwelling
houses, and that on West Madison
street alone, thoroughfare that runs
far out to the city limits and is the
chief business artery of the west side,
300 empty stores can be counted.

business centre by cable or electric

small buildings on either hand that
are speckled with signs of "For

city was about as badly overbuilt dur
ing the period of excessive speculation
as were any of the new and boastful
towns OF Kansas or of the Pacific
coast, and it will probably take four
or five years of steady development
to bring the population up to full oc-
cupancy of the existing facilities for
housing it and furnishing it with bust
ness Offices and stores. The result of
this zeal for building has been q
heavy decline in rents. For fats and
small stores the decline ranges from
30 to 80 per cent. Office rent in tine
new tall buildings have gone down
about 40 per cent If any properties

Curious Insect.

IT is in August that the naturalists
observe the marvellous insect which is
born, reproduced and dies in the
period of single night on the banks
of the Warne, of the Seine and of the
Rhine; it is the ephemere of which
Sirammerdam has written, and which
is spoken of in Aristotle.
The life of this insect does not las,
beyond four or five hours 1t dies
toward II o'clock in the evening after
taking the form of butterfly about
six hours after midday. 1t is true,
however, that before taking this form
il has lived three years in that of @
worm, which keeps always near the
border of water in the holes which il
makes in the mud.
The change of this worm in the
water to an ephemere which flies is SC
sudden that one has not the time to
see it, ii one takes the worm in the
water the hand cannot be taken away
before the change is made, unless by
pressing the worm slightly in the
region of the chest; by this means il
can he taken from the water before
the change takes place.
The ephemere, after leaving the
water, seeks place where it can di
vest itself of fine membrane or veil,
which entirely covers it. This second
change takes place in the air.
The ephemere arrests itself with
the point of its little nails as firmly as
it can it makes move similar to that
of a shiver, then the skin on the mid.
die of the back breaks apart, the wings
slip out of their sheath, as we some
times take off our gloves by turning
them inside ont. After this stripping
the ephemere begins to fly. Some
times it holds itself straight up on the
surface of water on the end of its tail,
Tapping its wings one against the
other. 1t takes no nourishment in
the five or six hours which are the
limit of its life. 1t seems to have
been formed to multiply, for it does
not leave.its state of worm until it
is ready to deposit its eggs, and il
dies as soon as they are deposited.
In three days time one sees appear
and die all species of ephemeres.
They last sometimes until the fifth
day, for the reason that some malady
has affected some of them and prevent
them from changing at the same time

HnN To Pnck HINTS.

In order to secure their safety in trav-
cling, hats must be packed with great
deal of care. If your trunk is lined
with canvas, as most trunks are nova
days, the hats may be nicely secured
with tapes and pins. The pieces of
tape should be pinned to four sides of
the hat in places where the pin holes
will not show, and then stretch to the
sides of the trunk, where they are
pinned to the canvas. If there is no
canvas lining, the tapes will have to
be secured to the trunk with tacks,
and n better substitute for the
tapes would be coarse white thread
sewed through the hat and then wound
around the tack heads. To remove
the hat cut the threads and pull them
out, after lifting it from the tray. One
can pack several hats in large hand
box to send by express by sewing
them to the sides of the box. The
thread is sewed through the box and
knotted on the outside. A little soft
tissue paper should be used to sup
port the trimmings and to fill the
crown.

Linen Travelling Frocks.

Two rather demure gowns were seen
recently, one being linen, in plain and
spotted, and the other travelling
gown of tailor cut, with gay revers
and vest of bright tartan plaid, says
the Philadelphia Times.
The linen gown was in navy blue
and white, the plaid being clear blue
and the dotted the same, with white
spots the size of peas.
Tho skirt had the upper part of
spotted linen, while the bottom was of
plain navy blue, the spotted lying
over it in large scallops bound with

The bodice was all of plain navy

The total amount of capital invested
in the electric lighting industry in the
United States is estimated at some
thing over $500, 900, 900. The num-
Der of public and private plants ag-
gregate 10000. The number of
motors in use is estimated at about
500, 900, and their value at about
800, 600, 900. The electrical apparatus
used in mining is estimated at $780,
600, 900, and the value of the electric
elevator industry will probably not fall
short of $15, 900, 900. The most i'm
portant of all the electric industries,
however, is that of electric railways.
In this field the investment is very
great, and in the United States is rep
resented by capitalization of over
800, 600, 900. The number of trolley
cars in use is now over $4,000, and
these run over u, 900 miles of track.
The electric railways represent more
than 30 per cent. of all the street and
suburban railroads of the country.
The aggregate of all the capital invested
in electric lighting, electric railways
and electric power is about 81, ,5OO,-
600, 900, and this does not include the
value of establishments that manufac-
ture the machinery and apparatus.

null is worn about the throat and is
tied in huge bow under the chin.
The hat was of sunbonnet straw in
a glossy rough braid, and is worn well
off the face, with chaplet of deep red
and pink roses bordering the hair.
The crown is trimmed with masses of
white taffeta silk-not ribbon, but
silk, and the bows set up very high
over the brim in front. The tailor

throughout with plaid taffeta silk, and
the lapels and waistcoat are of the
same silk.

into vogue, and they flare over the

Sailor collars of white linen are
much worn on blouse bodices.
All smart white dresses are trimmed
with insertion of yellow embroidery
or lace.
Plaid blouses are dividing the honors
with clear scarlet and checks of black
and white.
Elaborateness is being displayed in
the make up of sleeves. Many of
them are composed almost entirely of
lace and insertion; others are tucked
round and round and others are coy
cred with rows of trimming.
One of the handsomest waists of the
season is made of white China crepe.
1t has vest, collar and cuffs of white
satin ribbon. Ii is worn with a skirt
of black satin made plainly, save for
three bias rutfles at the hem.
Short boleros and Etons made of
cut work and embroidery, lined with
thin tinted silk of some becoming
color, are considered very smart with
any sort of light summer gown. They
give pretty finish that is both chic
and dainty.
Dresses of muslin, organdie and
batiste have the rufiies edged with
narrow lace. There may be but one
or several ruffles on the skirts and thew
are set either in clusters at the foot
or at regular intervals, covering about
half the length of the skirt.
A handsome imported jacket is made
OF box cloth, showing white sailor
collar and revers. The model is open
fronted and extremely short. The
jacket is pale shade of cream, and is
called the Redfcrn beach jacket, and
other models are in pale green, mauve,
tan; sage gray, silver gray. and also
deep currant red.

Chiefly by its newness and of n GER
tain cosmopolitan aspect, says william
Allen White in the Atlantic, the Kan
sas town differs from villages else
where in the United States, and pre-
sents few interesting variations from
the common type. The largest town
in the commonwealth has hardly forty
thousand inhabitants. Most of the
county-seats in the eastern half of the
state, where the rainfall is copious,
and where crops are bountiful and
regular, contain about three thousand
persons each. The county-seat is in
the strictest sense country town.
The inhabitants live almost entirely
upon the tributary country. There
are no factories. The money that the
farmers of the county spend for food,
clothing, fuel, and the comforts of the
farm home is the cash capital upon
which the town does its business.
This capital is passed from the grocers
to the clothing merchants, to the
furniture dealers, to the hardware
sellers, and to professional men. In
the older communities of the Eastern
and Middle states, necessity has de-
veloped factories, which convert raw
material into finished products, and
money from the outside world comes
in. But Kansas is yet hardly n gen.
Grafton old, and it has not entered the
manufacturing era of industry.

neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his

he suffered agonies for weeks at time
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried p. P. p. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that P. P. P. will not make

by saying he thanks God and our med
