TO use them. The congress decided that
three principal denominations of stamps OF
the world should be uniform In color. The
frank of like value in foreign countries is to
be green of the same hue as the old 3-cent
stamps. The 2-cent stamp is to remain YER
million in color, and Great Britains penny
purple must conform to 1t, while in the case
of the scent stamp we Will adopt the blue
of her 212 pence.
For nearly half a century, ever since the
first issue, in 1851, the penny stamp OF the
United States has borne the portrait OF
of one ear-1S69-when brown was the

but his forty-siX years of blues have ended,

After two years trial of licensing one
saloon in Riverside at $500 year, that
town went back to prohibition of the liquor

of this city, although in his ninety-seventh
year. is cutting his teeth like an infant Of
a year old, and the new teeth promise to
be excellent ones. 1t is his fourth set.
When Mr.. Coons was child of seven his
first teeth dropped out, as is usual, and in
place of them grew full set of what are
known as double teeth. This set lasted
him until he was more than Seventy-five
years old, and then they began to drop out.
until, when he reached the age of about
eighty-two, he was toothlesS. About three
years afterwards he began to cut a new
set. About two years ago this third set
began to get loose and fall out, until, about
a year ago. they were all gone, and Mr.
Coons was toothless for the third time in
his life. On Thursday Mr.. Coons complained
that his mouth was sore and that the food
hurt it. Running his finger along his
gums he discovered a half dozen teeth
coming out in the upper and lower gums.
