Philatelsts will be interested in a little
souvenir which Postmaster +, W. Childs
has recently prepared in the form OF a fac
smile of the old BrattleDoro postage
stamp attached to a facsimile letter
sheet bearing, not only the Original ad-
dress of an Old Boston resident but the
old postmark as used by Postmaster
Palmer more than 30 years ago The little
stamp which was issued in 1S4G-a full
year before the government issued its first
postage stamp, is printed in cOlors and is
said TO be the first perfect facsimile of the
little gem now so highly priced by collec-
tors. Not over 500 of the original stamps
were printed, and never a second edition.
Postmaster Palmer prepared the sheets
himself, applying the gum with a camel's
hair pencil But he probably did not
realize that the little stamp was bound to
make his name famous. or that specimens
of them would command such extraordi-
nary prices. In addition TO the facsimile
stamp and envelope, Postmaster Childs, at
the request of collectors, and by permits
sion of the department, has prepared a
brief history of its origin as well as a sketch
of the old postmaster himself and will sell
a limited number to cover expense of dyes,
at 20 cents each as long as they last. Some
of the relatives of the late Postmaster
Palmer are quite sure that the plate from
which the little stamp was engraved has
been in their possession within the past
80 years, though all efforts 10 bring it TO
light again have proved futile.

How to Stain q Floor.

twill be found very difficult to stain
the center Of floor to match tho border.
The quickest means will be to stain il
with burnt lumber mixed with vandykc
brown ground mp in water (not oil) and
diluted with boiling water in which a
piece Of soda has boon dissolved. This
will take il the boards are clean, dries
soon and can be repeated if not darn
enough. 1t can be waxed and polished
for dancing by being brushed with q
stiff brush to initiate frottoir. Spiri;
varnishes will not stand the wear and
tear. Permanganate Of potash is another
stain that might answer the same pur.
pose.

How to Make Candied Lemon Peel.

AS lemons are used, drop the yellow
rind into weak brine in "a glass jar.
When dozen are thus picked, they are
freshened by putting them into cold
water and letting them scald, changing
the water once or twice to extract the
salt. Boil them in the last water till
they are thoroughly tender and drain
then make strip enough to cover them
out of slightly more than pound of
sugar and pint of water, using always
the same proportion Of pint for pound.
Cut the peel into pieces about half an
inch square and drop them into the
boiling strip. which is allowed to cook
slowly till the peel looks translucent;
then keep them slowly stepping till the
strip has almost dried out of the peel,
spread on plates, sprinkle with more
sugar and put in cool oven to complete
the drying.

How to Improve Defects In tho Hands.

Starched linen should bo placed next
to only those skins that have the firm.
ness and perfect texture of youth.
White, starched linen is fatal to almost
any woman's charms. If elderly women
would have their sleeves finished ut the
wrist with narrow frill instead OF
that stylish cuff and allow ruffie OF
yellow lace to fall over the hand, what Il
difference it would make!
The fullness would conceal the awful
wrist bone, the lace would veil and
shadow tho hands, and the yellow hue
would make the skin seem white by
comparison.
Cuffs, in the sense Of linen folds, are
generally to be tabooed. Any straight,
sharp, abrupt sleeve ending should bC
avoided by women whose arms are not
prettily rounded and tapering. Frills
arc the salvation Of all who have defects
to conceal. Women with long hands
should wear the tab style of cuff, that
falls well over the hand, concealing hall
its blemishes.
Not one woman in hundred should
wear sleeves which reveal the elbow, for
it is generally ugly. Not one woman il
a thousand should go about with really
hare arms-at any rate not until shC
has cultivated state of absolute
smoothness and marblelike firmness by
scrubbing and massage.
Until then she should indulge in
chiffon undersleeves, which make tbs
arms beneath them seem beautiful. Ant
no one whose wrist is not tapering ant
smooth should ever wear bracelets.

YOUR SUMNER SKIRTS,

How TO Renew Pctticonts Which Have
Seen Service.
The wear and tear of warm weather
leaves only too visible traces in the
wardrobe, and petticoats in particular
have hard time of it.
On damp, muddy or dusty excursion
the dress is raised cut of harms way,
but the petticoat takes its own share of
hardship, with the addition of what be.
longs by right to the dress skirt. 1t is
spotted by water, stained by mud and
grass, permeated by dust, and, how.
over carefully it may be brushed daily,
unless it is of kind that can be wash.
Ell Its beauty is soon thing of the past.
Silk potticoats suffer most in the cam.
paiSn, although delicate shades of al.
paca and moreen do not come forth
scathless.
AS for lace trimmed ones, they ought
to be kept from the outset for house and
piazza wear. The delicate, bell shaped,
much. beruffled petticoats of lawn or
cambria that have figured so we'll under
sheer organdie gowns will answer quite
as well for evening wear during the
winter II they are carefully laundried,
provided that tho lace has not been torn.
If it has, it should be replaced, tor.
chon or valencienDes being the most de.
sirable variety to use. The frayed and
discolored ruflies of the silk petticoat
may be ripped off and replaced by fresh
ones, not necessarily of the same color,
the garment itself well shaken and
pressed with warm flatiron before the
new frills are added.
These may be Of plain silk if the skirt
is figured, or vice versa if harmony OF
color is preserved. Moreen and alpaca
petticoats must be well shaken, brushed
and aired and the edges rebound OF
freshly faced. If the material has been
wet, it should be pressed.

The action of our school board
IN awarding their printing to the
Demands last Saturday, was made
without much consideration of the
matter. In October last thew te-
bled Mr.. Dunn's application with
out ceremony, and have never since
given any indication that thew
wanted bids, or desired change.
We can assure our school board
that we are just as willing to give
our time and services to the public
free, as themselves or anybody else.
and, If they desired us to work for
nothing, they at least should have
said so, either by advertisement or
some other method. As it is, they
have taken snap judgment on us
giving US either hearing
