FATE OF A VALUABLE STAMP.
Craved BY Collectors, 1t Is Burned
by q Careless Domestic.

In the year 1851 II penny black Ca
madam postage stamp was printed by the
government at Ottawa. The public did
not regard this somber issue with favor,
SO few were issued.
One of these stamps was sent to the
Hamilton postofiice, where it was sold to
an old gentleman, who said it was n
shame TO print the queens picture on a
stamp that might be handled by profane
hands. Tenderly the old gentleman put
il on a parcel sending it to a friend in
the United States. Here, in the waste
basket. il lay for many a day, till an err
rand boy found it and quickly transfer
red it to his album. Despairing of get
ting a good collection and his fever for
stamps somewhat abating, he sold them
to a dealer. The new owner. ON looking
at the catalogue, found that what he had
paid So for was worth $50.
Accidentally this stamp was slipped in
to n % cent packet and sent to n dealer
residing in Hamilton. When the latter
opened the packet he was astonished to
find such valuable stamp and, being
honest, wrote his friend to inform him of
what had happened, offering him $1,000
for it. The offer was accepted, and the
stamp again changed hands. By this
time the stamp had increased in value,
and not a few came from n distance to
look at the treasure. One day an Eng
lish nobleman, who. through a Canadian
friend, had heard Of the stamp, offered
81 800. which offer was accepted. The
English lord, falling in love with an
American heiress and wishing to gain the
favor of her brother, presented him with
the stamp as token of esteem. Here,
in its new and luxurious American home,
it came to sad end, for one day
the maid, by mistake, swept the stamp,
which had accidentally fallen out of the
album, into the fire. In an instant the
stamp which thousands had heard OF and
longed for went up in smoke to the
broad. blue sky, leaving not trace be-
hind.-Chieago Inter Ocean.

How Python. settle auarrels.

It was in October. 1894, that the big
python at the zoo fell into the deplorable
error of swallowing his companion, u
snake only a few inches shorter than him
self. A similar disaster Is reported from
Bombay, where for some years past two
large Indian pythons had occupied cage
in the museum of the Bombay Natural
History society. There was some mis-
understanding between them over a par
fridge, for they were found so tightly
entangled in each others coils that the
utmost endeavors of peacemaking keep
ers failed to effect q separation, and they
were left to settle the matter according
to their own lights. Next day there was
only one very stout python visible. These
large reptiles evidently know but one
way Of settling a quarrel. - London

SNORING.


"A TrsvsBsr Says That savages no
Not Have the Acconplfshment.
Snoring may be inconveniently obtru-
sive in q sleeping car" said the expe-
ricnced traveller, but 1t Is just as much
q mark OF q high stage OF civilization as
IL the sleeping car itself. You may take
II for fact that all the wild and inferior
races do not snore. The doctrine Of the
survival Of the fittest gets In It's work
right there, and the savage person who
yocalizes his sleep stands a very good
chance Of learning that snoring Is not
good for the health. Suppose you are a
very savage person out on the warpath
In a country full of your enemies. You
take every precaution against discovery.
covering your trail and selecting your
camp SO a. to battle ordinary search.
That's all right, but IL you snore it's all
wrong. An enemy who hears the sound
will make Investigations, and the result
Is fatal always and frequently uncomfort-
able.
II have been a great deal among wild
people, both in this country and else
where, and know that they do not snore.
Once had one Of these government pro-
fessors with me. He was a very wise
man and knew more about the savages
than they did themselves, but he would
snore TO beat the band. Like most peo-
pie whose slumbers are orchcstrated. he
denied the fact, and we should never have
convinced him of what the rest of us had
every reason to know IL it had not been
for one little circumstance. One night
we made our camp right in village of
the savages. They were peaceful enough.
and we were in no particular danger.
Still, as they were wild people, IT was
just as well to keep some sort of watch
ON their movements.
"Well, the professor rolled himself up
in his blanket and soon was snoring like
a good fellow. After awhile i felt that
there were people about, and l lifted my
self up on my elbow to see what was up.
I'm blessed il pretty near the whole outtit
of the savages hadn't left their own
houses and squatted down on the grass
where they could look into our camp and
