STAMP COLLECTORS CONVEN-
 TON.

A National Gathering to Meet Next Month in Boston-New Haven to be Represented.
 Philatelists from all parts of North America will meet in Boston next month to attend the annual conven- ton of the American Philateltc asso- citation, which will be held on August 24 25 and 26. This body comprises the leading stamp collectors of the United States, and consists now of more than 1,200 members.
 There are probably 10000 collectors | of postage stamps in Boston and vi- cinity, and some of the finest collec- tions of stamps in the country are held by philatelists in this vicinity. Probably the juveniles are in the | majority among the half-million stamp collectors in the United States, but there are many business and profes- sional men of eminence among them. In this neighborhood the largest col lection, probably, was that of Fred w. Aver of Bangor, a part of which was sold in London only a short time ago for $25O,00O. Mr. Aver is one of the | members of the American association, | and will attend the convention. The | most notable sale for cash of postage I stamps In this country was made last month in Boston, when the magnificent collection belonging to MT. Nash of Mash, Spaulding & Co.,, was sold to the New England Stamp Company. MT Nash some time ago refused an offer of | 1000 for the collection and while the l terms are private, 1t Is understood that 1 the price paid was about $50,000. The | foreign stamps in the collection are on | their way to Europe, to be disposed oi there by Howard K. Sanderson of Lynn who will visit the London stamp deal- CTS and attend the great exhibition tc be held there this month, at which the Duke of York and other collectors will offer prizes.
 Another notable collection Is that o1 ex-Mayor Olney of Providence, who Is president of the American Philatelit association. It Is valued at $100OOO, fol the worth of the individual stamps, and
 dealers think 1t would bring tha
 amount if broken up,
 Among the interesting matters whicf
 will be considered at the coming con
 vention will be the issue of the Cabo
 stamps of Newfoundland and the Ju
 bilee issue of Canada. These stamps
 issued less than a month ago, hav
 been extensively purchased by Cana
 dian stamp dealers and speculators
 who sold them at fancy prices, tn
 half-pence stamp alone being value'
 at 91.
 On October A. 1892, the Argentin
 government placed the Columbian is
 sue of stamps on sale, and sold them il
 quantities to suit, for that day only
 with the understanding that all un
 sold stamps were to be destroyed an
 the dies broken the next day. The re
 suit was riot in Buenos Ayres a
 the postofflice, so great was the rus
 for stamps, and the militia had t
 be called out. The stamps wer
 bought in enormous quantities fo
 specula ton, but the spectators foun
 out soon after, that they had overes
 timated the demand, and there wa
 no such call for the stamps in othe
 countries as they had expected. Tn
 stamps soon sold for litle more tha
 their face value.-Boston Transcript

4 Our National Disease.
FrOm the Register, Union City. Mlch.,

From the Register, Union City. Mich)
Mr.. f. A. Hitchcock is the senior partner
In the firm OF Hitchcock & Rupright, Of
Union City, Michigan, and is citizen well
known. not only in the county, but in all
the southern part of the state.
To those who do not know Mr.. Hitch
cock, we can say that he stands so high for
business tact and rectitude that he is
chosen by the Court as administrator Of
nearly every unsettled estate
Mr.. Hitchcock himself is as strong physi-
cally as mentally, but his wife has been
until lately great sufferer for many years,
and this has cast heavy gloom over On
otherwise cheerful household.
Physician after physician has been called
to Mrs. Hitchcock's sick room, but notwith-
standing deep consultations and many RENE
dies, they never succeeded in relieving the
lady, and she grew worse as time rolled on.
Mrs Hitchcock, when interviewed lately,
made the following statement;
"F'or many years." she said, II have been
q great sufferer from rheumatism. Most
of my time was helpless, and as so many
prominent physicians had failed TO help me,
l had little hope of ever being any better.
"a friend of mine, when visiting me NOT
q great while ago, recommended me to try
DR. Williams Pink pills for Pale People,
and though had little faith in them or any
other advertised medicine made up my
mind TO give them fair trial. had not
taken them many days when l noticed a
decided improvement in my condition, so l
went on taking them according TO direc-
tions, and you can say that to-day enjoy
the best of health, the shadow has passed
from our happy home, and the credit of my
recovery is due under Providence TO DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
81 am glad TO have an opportunity Of
testifying to the excellence of this medicine,
and i should be an migrate if did not do
So"
DR. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness TO the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, Irregularities and all forms
of weakness. They build up the blood, and
restore the glow of health to pale and
sallow cheeks. In men they effect radical
cure in all cases arising from mental worry,
over-work or excuses of whatever nature.
Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose
bulk at 30 cents a box or six boxes for $3.50,
and may be had of all druggists,or direct by
mail from Dr. Williams Medicine Company,

AUsTRo-HUNoARIAN TARIFF.
Curious Arrangement Existing Between
Two Branches.

Curious Arrangement Existing Between
Two Branches.
Perhaps the statesmen who will
presently be wrestling with so much
fervor with the tariff question may
with advantage to their own enlighten-
ment tear a leaf from the history OF
the Austro-Hungarian tariff arrange
ment, which is one of the most peculiar
in existence, says the New York Herald.
Not long ago, it will be remembered, a
strong protest against the existing
treaty arose from the Hungarian side
of the border. Austria and Hungary
form two independent states, both en-
joying home rule, but the common af-
fairs of the federation are dealt with
by common authorities and organs
regulated by The constitution. The pro-
portion in which each state has to con-
tribute to the common expenses is set
tied by mutual agreement every ten
years and there is no constitutional
provision for the treaty of commerce.
But in 1867, when the Hungarian con-
stitution was restored, it was resolved
by mutual consent to maintain the Gus
toms union and the commercial and
economic unity which had existed I'M
der the absolutist regime. The treaty
thus concluded forms the subject OF
pending negotiations for the renewal OF
the Ausgleich. AS the privilege Of the
Austro- Hungarian bank expires at the
same time as the customs and the COM
mercial alliance, the question of the
Ausgleich is complicated by the neces-
sity of renewing the bank charter
Should the customs and commercial
treaty be allowed to lapse the two
states would recover their economic
and fiscal liberty. If either of them
chose to do so 1t could surround itself
with custom houses and shut out the
products of the other without affecting
the political constitution of the mon
archy, but of course such proceeding
would be a severe trial to the dual sys-
tenn. The existing treaty expires al
the end of this year. Neither country
is satisfied with it, but both are willing
to enter into negotiations for a new
agreement, and no doubt an amicablt
settlement of some sort will be ar
ranged.

of the night any sound seemed loud
81 woke up Harry, who instantly
said, Where is she? where is she?' and
began to point his rifle about in fash
ion that was more dangerous to us and
the oxen than to any possible lioness.
"'Hush upp l whispered, savag0ly;
end as did so, with low and hideous
growl flash of yellow light sped out OF
the clump of bush, past the OK, and
into the corresponding clump upon the
other side. The poor sick brute gave
a sort of groan, and staggered round
and then began to tremble; / could see
1t do so clearly in the moonlight, and /
felt like brute for having exposed the
unfortunate animal to such terror as he
must undoubtedly be undergoing. The
lioress, for it was she, passed so quickly
that we could not even distinguish her
movements, much less shoot. Indeed
at night 1t is absolutely useless to
attempt to shoot unless the object is
very close and standing perfectly still,
and then the light is so deceptive and
1t is so difficult to see the foresight
that the best shot will miss more often
than he hits.

WHITE HOUSE ETIQUETTE.
The Unwritten Laws which Govern the
Presidents Social Position.


When the President and his wife
drive out the President sits on the right
hand and his wife on the left, says
the Illustrated American. If there are
others in the carriage, whether ladies
or gentlemen, they must sit with their
backs to the horses. When Mrs. Cleve-
land was first married she tried the ex-
pertinent of placing her mother OPP
posite the president and herself in the
presidential landau, but the people
laughed at it so immoderately and pro-
fessed to think Mrs. Folsom las she
was them to be the maid, that it was
speedily dropped. When the Presi-
dents wife drives alone she sits in the
right-hand corner-the place of honor.
The lady of the white house cannot set
foot within those splendid houses in
Washington whose flagstaffs mark the
foreign embassy or legation. She could
not go without the President, and as an
embassy or legation is technically a
part of the country it represents the
President could not go-so that she
never sees the inside of a diplomatic
house as long as she presides at the
executive mansion. The President dimes
only at cabinet houses and his wife
cannot dine anywhere without him.
President Arthur dined with judges OF
the Supreme court and with senator's;
but as he had no wife the whole system
was very much simplified for him. The
Presidents wife may, If she chooses,
go to luncheons where there are no
gentlemen, or to teas, both being re-
garded as strictly informal; but the
danger of giving offense by accepting
one invitation and declining another is
so great that it is seldom or never
risked.
