Stamp Collecting.

The collecting of postage stamps, and
the preservation of the same as curiosi-
tics. began Immediately after the issue
of the Mulready envelopes and the 1910
one-penny black and two-pence blue ad-
hesives. The first published notice of
such collecting is said to have appeared
in Punch in 1911.
The first government to follow the ex-
ample of Great Britain was that of Bra
zil. which issued the large figure stamps
in 1913. Other countries slowly followed,
until the growth of commerce. made pos
Sible by the railroad and ocean steamers.
ana the consequent increased domestic
and foreign correspondence. caused most
of the other governments to introduce
the same system of prepayment by
stamps early in the sos. As the number
of different stamps increased. more and
more persons became interested in OBJ
tanning copies of the different varieties
but probably the most efficient agent in
stimulating curiosity and eventually
collecting. was the appearance of the tri-
angular Cape of Good Hope stamps in
1853. The shape was so odd and the de-
sign so beautiful, that Gudging by pres
ent prices it would seem as if almost
every copy used was saved No one who
collected stamps as curioSitieS was salts
fled until he had one or more of these
handsome postal labels.
AS time went on. boys and girls became
interested in stamps and rivalry be-
gan us to who could make up collec-
ton of the greatest number of varieties.
Many of the boys could get large
number of the stamps of one or more
foreign countries. and by trading these
with one another could increase their
collections materially. The usual basis
for such trading was stamp for stamp.
and thus many rare stamps went into
the hands of children who had no idea
as to their future value. Unfortunately
in those early days of philately the GUS
tom was to paste down the stamp on
pages of old blank books. and very few
stamps remain whole after one or two re-
movals.-Harper's Round Table.

A STORY OF u HUNG CHANG.
How He Interested Himself In Two
Chinese Women.


Something over year ago a Chi
nese Christian girl named Marguerite
Wang came to America with the in
tention of obtaining an education. She
remained here a year, and was just
about TO enter a woman's college when
she received word that her father had
betrothed her TO a man whom she had
never seen. Under the consular reg
ulations she was forced 10 return 10
her home, foregoing her education, to
marry this man. Miss Hartford, one of
the principal workers in the Foo-Chow
mission, who was here on a visit, ac-
companied her on her return.
On the same ship with them was III
Hun Chang and his suite. The viceroy
noticed the Chinese girl, and sent his
secretary, Lord Ii, to inquire about
her. a day or two later he sent word
he would like to talk with Marguerite
and Miss Hartford. They went to see
him and told him the story of the girls
attempt to obtain an education. The
v;ccroy was much pleased with his
countrywoman and seemed TO take Il
great interest in her. lie told her and
Miss Hartford about the woman's con-
gress, which is to be held in London
in 1898, and said that he wanted the
women of China TO be represented n
the congress.
After little talk he told Marguerite
that he would appoint her TO represent
China and it's women at the congress.
lie then asked Miss Hartford il she did
not know of some other woman in
China that was qualified to be a dele
gate to the congress. Miss Hartford
at once recommended to him DIR. HUI
King Eng, the first Chinese woman TO
study medicine. Some years ago she
left China to come to America, and
after Il course in the woman's medical
school at Philadelphia she received her
degree. She then returned to China
and became one of the most valuable
members of, the Foo Chow mission,
where she now is. Lii Hung Chang was
much interested in. the story and after
a few questions said that she should be
appointed as the second woman TO at
tend the congress. So China will be
represented at the woman's congress
and by two Christian women. After
the viceroy's arrival in China he made
the appointment in formal manner.

THE FATAL WORK OF FLAMES.
AN OHIO TOWN DESTROYED by
a CONFEDERATION.

Several Lives Are Lost and $4,000
Worth of Property Is Destroyed
Through the Careless Playing
With Matches by Several Snnl
BOys-HeIp Sent From Surround
ing Cities to Save the Town.
Cincinnati, Sept. pa special to the
Commercial-Trlbune from Chillicothe, o.,
says:
IAN entire square in the village of Balm
bridge, containing most of the business
houses, several handsome residences, and
the Methodist church, was entlre.y de-
stroyed by fire this afternoon, and two
prominent business men lost their lives
in an explosion which occurred in the drug
store of W. P. Beardsley.
1.-The fire was started in barn in the
rear of PERIL Browns general store by
two boys who were playing with matches
Beardsleys drug store. adjoining, was
next ablaze, and with the limited means
at hand for fighting fire. the flames be-
came uncomfortable. In the midst of the
excitement an explosion occurred in the
drug store, and Mr.. Beardsley, who was
property, lost his life in the ruins. His
brother-in-law, Thomas Hoggins, who
went to his rescue, was unable to get to
him, and was burned to death, while sew
eral others were more or less injured, but
none fatally.
There was stiff breeze blowing and
the flames getting fresh start from the
burning oils and chemicals in the wrecked
drug store leaped from house to house I'M
til it was evident that the entire town was
doomed. A message was sent to Waverly,
and to this city, asking for aid, and both
fire departments promptly responded. The
Baltimore and Ohio, Southwestern and
Ohio Southern railroads sent special trains
with the engines, but they did not arrive
until almost O'Clock, nearly three hours
after the first alarm was given. The best
that could be done was to prevent the fire
being communicated to the other squares.
AFTER the destruction of Beardsley's
drug store, the following property was con-
sumed: Methodist Episcopal church,
Armstrong's livery stable, J. r. Heads
store, Ogels saloon, empty business prop
erty, Brichmans barber shop, Seymour
Morris residence, w. p. Beardsley's res
idence, Houser's grocery, McDnrs mill-
| merry store and Andrew Alderman's shoe
store. But two houses were left standing
on the square, both being private resi-
| dences owned by PERIL Moore. The esti-
mated loss is $4,000.
''The bodies of Beardsley and Hoggins
were found on the floor about fifteen feet
from the front entrance, mutilated and
burned beyond recognition.
1.-THE list of wounded includes John
Valley, cut on right arm and shoulder;
Homer Huling. broken hip; Jack Studer,
finger on right hand broken Albert Frey.
internal injuries, received by fall from a
building; George Scharader, William PEN
ell and Harry Rose, minor injuries.
Tonight scores of people are homeless.
Relief has been sent from the city and the

tenderly looked after.
