tine Republic practically as dictator for
more than twenty years until 1852, when,

quiza he took refuge with his daughter

home in Belsize Park gardens, London. This
lady was noted for her personal courage and

REVENUE FROM STAMPS
SOME COUNTRIES COUNT ON IT
LARGELY.
Change the Designs at Frequent In
tervals so as to Increase the Sales
to Stamp Collectors.

1t is generally understood that
each country where stamps are used
is responsible for the preparation
and issuing Of these articles. The
announcement, therefor, that one
little French colony makes about
two hundred varieties of stamps
comes as bit of a surprise. TIL S
is the colony of Obock, and is sim
ply a great stamp factory. The
capital Of the place is little villa! e
of huts, and the administration
consists merely of governor with
eight functionaries. The methods
of these people are somewhat novel.
The secretary of one of the engrav-
ing companies is under contract to
supply without charge whatever
postage stamps may be needed by
Central and South America.
Coupled with this agreement is the
understanding that every year the
design is new one. The govern
ment returns to the company what
ever stamps remain on hand unused.
The manufacturers keep the design
plates and all raraphernalia in order
to make reprints for collectors.
Under these circumstances it is not
remarkable if very great latitude is
allowed to their caprices by these
people whenever they desire to run
out new issue of stamps. In one
instance man took possession of
rocky island where there were no
inhabitants, gave the place name
and had an immense issue of post
age stamps prepared, all of which
were furnished to collectors at a
good profit. If this sort of thing
keeps on it will be easy enough to
fill ones book with specimens which
have really no local tabitation nor
name. Stamp collecting is all very
we'll and interesting, but when it
comes to making stamps for places
that have no actual need for them
or event. IAN existence to warrant
their turning out, it is time the line
was strictly drawn, and some effort
made to keep the fad on at least a
rational basis.

special purpose of which is TO
arrange for the adoption and cduca-

of the members that the common
practice Of housing such orphans
together i'll home does not accom-
plish the best ends; but that such
institutions should exist only as
temporary gathering places for
these waits until reliable Christian
homes can be found for them; and
the younger the children are wher
they are transferred to the bosom:
of such families the better.
