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 he 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 seen mentioned work entitled
The 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 the addition of an
account of my residence in the island of
Mitylene'--an island which l have occa-
sionally sailed by in the course of travel
ing some years ago through the Levant,
and where should have no objections to
reside, but where 1 have never yet resided.
Neither of these performances are mine,
and L presume that 10 is neither unjust
nor ungracious to request that you will
favor mo by contradicting the advertise
ment TO which l allude. If tho book is
clever, il would DO base to deprive the real
writer, whoever he may be, of his honor,
and if stupid / desire the responsibility
of nobody's dizziness but my own"

For Stamp Collectors.

Four or five years ago the fashion of
ornamenting white china plates by postage
stamps or parts of stamps arranged in yari-
Gus patterns was popular all over the coun-
try. Many novel and interesting designs
were produced and some of the plates or
plaques were made with such care and de-
signed and arranged with such taste that
they could fairly be called works of art.
AS the commonest stamps were just as
good for this purpose as any others, 1t
seems pity that the fancy for such work
died out.
One of the Oldest collectors in New York
lately placed on exhibition a number of
philatelic brooches, lockets, bracelets, etc. y,
which were very beautiful. He took I'M
used copies of United States envelopes
which were clearly embossed, and cutting
out the oval portraits used them just as if
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 Victoria 8
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. Sharper Round Table.

THE LIGHTHOUSE SERVICE.

A Pathetic Letter Written by Woman
Who Bore the Anxieties of the Life.
An article on "Heroism In the Light
house Service" is written by Gustav Kobbe
for The Century. Mr.. Kobbe quotes the
following letter, written to friend by
Mrs. Grant, who lived for many years on
White Head, off the Maine coast: Some
times l think the time is not far distant
when l shall climb these lighthouse stairs
no more. 1t has almost seemed TO me that
the light was part of myself When we
had care OF the old lard oil lamps on Ma
tinicus Rock, they were more difficult to
tend than these lamps are, and sometimes
they would not burn so well when first
lighted, especially in cold weather when
the oil got cool. Then some nights l could
not sleep wink all night, though l knew
the 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 the morning, and lit them a
sunset Those old lamps-as they were
when my father lived on Matnicus Rock
are so thoroughly impressed on my
memory that even now often dream of
them. There were II lamps and IA reflect
ors. When / dream of them, it always
seems to me that l have been away a long
while and l am trying to get back in time
to light the lamps. Then / am half way
between Matinicus and White Head and
hurrying toward Inc rock to light the
lamps there before sunset. Sometimes L
walk on the water, sometimes / am in u
boat and sometimes l seem. going in the
air-I must always see the lights burning
in both places before l 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.
wonder if the care of the lighthouse
will follow my soul after it has left this
worn out body If ever have grave
stone would like it to be in the form of
q lighthouse or beacon.

The Makers of Dwarf Trees.

Closely related to the Chinese farmers is
the class of men who, with taste for the
quaint and artistic, earn "a living as land
scape gardeners. They delight in produc-
ing miniature copies of nature. Narrow
walks wind in and out through dwarfed
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 confne
the roots within small, iron bound cask,
or the more rapid method is to select q
vigorous branch upon the desired tree,
and bind around 1t band of leaf mold.
This is kept moist until roots creep into
the mold; then the branch is severed from
the tree. Soon flowers and fruit develop,
for their buds were formed by the parent
tree. -Lippincott's Magazine.

OXFORD BIBLE PAPER.
Only Three Persons Who Know the Sc
cret of Its Making.


The paper making of Oxford Bibles is "a
specially important and interesting part
of the work AT Wolvercote, a mile or two
out of Oxford, the university has large
mill for the supply of its own require
ments. A good deal of the paper they turn
out here is made of old ships sails, the
material of which, after battling with
storms in all quarters of the world, comes
here for the purpose of being made into
paper, printed in almost every language
under heaven and bound up into volumes,
to be again scattered far and wide into all
the uttermost ends Of the earth.
This Wolvercote paper has much to do
with the great reputation that Oxford has
acquired in the production Of Bibles and
other devotional books. Twenty years ago
and more the management here hit on
valuable invention in paper making, and
