Many Miles of stamps.

poSluSe StatnpS uuIihS tho you
1898. The number of 2.cent stamp
issued during the year was abou
100000. Such number
obviously is beyond the grasp o
the human mind, but perhaps th,
matter may be made more clea,
by putting ii otherwise.
An ordinary 2-cent stamp is ex
actIy one inch long. From thi.
fact, by a little calculation, it i,
easy to discover that the number
of stamps of this denomination is
sued in 1898, placed end to end
would extend a distance consldera
ly exceeding $4,000 miles. In
other words, they would make a
continuous strip of stamps, each
one adorned with the head of the
father of his country, stretching in
a belt more than once and a half
around the equator.
OF course, though the 2-cent
stamps are those principally used,
there are others. Enough 1-cent
postage stamps have been issued
during the year 1898 to stretch
from New York city to Europe
and Asia, to Bombay, India, if
similarly arranged IN one strip.
All other stamps, as to production
and sales, are Of minor Importance
comparatively speaking, but it is
interesting TO know that almost
exactly one mile of 81 stamps were
manufactured for the demand Of
1898. OfS5 stamps the produc-
ton was equivalent to little more
than half furlong, or about one
fifteenth Of a mile.
Now, if all the postage stamps
printed by the United States gov
ernmcnt in 1898 were placed one
on top of another, as neatly as
might be without putting them
under pressure, how high do you
suppose the pile Of them would be?
There Is no use guessing; you
would never get it nearly right,
unless you went to work to cal
,ulate 1t for yourself. The 2,500,-
100000 stamps Of all denomina-
lions printed during the current
,ear-the statement, Of course is,
lpproximate-would tower to an
elevation of 81 miles. This Is
more than three times the height
If the highest mountain in the
yorld-Mount Everest, in the |
dimalayas. If the same number
# stamps were piled up in the
orm of the ordinary sheets 100
zach, it follows that the stack |
would qo over a fifth of mile
,igh.
During the year 1898 the num-
Der of special delivery stamps sold
vas about 5,250,OO0. IL is only |
reasonable to suppose that the
average journey of the special de-
livery messenger is half a mile.
indeed, that is an absurd under
estimate; but let it go at that. On
his assumption the total distance
travelled in 1898 was about 1885, |
300 miles. That is very con-
siderable space to traverse, as may |
be realized when it is considered |
that messenger boy, in order to
accomplish that total distance,
would have to go about / 100 times
around the world, or five times to
the moon and back.
II appears from figures furnished
by the post office department, that
the average person in Massachus-
etts, including, l..1A, women and
spend $3.50 on postage
per annum. New York comes
second with an expenditure Of
S2.27. The District of Columbia
third with S2.l6. Colorado is
fourth with Sl.93, and Connecticut
IS fifth with $3.50. The states
ranking lowest in this regard are
South Carolina, with 25 cents per
capita; Mississippi, with 81 cents;
Alabama; With IS cents; Arkansas,
with 81 cents, and North Carolina.

HIS STAY EXTENDED.
The Boy Phenomenon Compelled to
PrOl0ng His Visit Another
Week.
Personal EntreatieS and Many Let
terS From the Sick and Suffer-
ing Which He Could Not
Refuse.
Daily Performing Remarkable Cures
Which For Years Had Deiied
All Other Methods.

The Boy Phenomenon has finally
consented to remain two weeks long
er. So many urgent requests, per-
Sonal entreaties and letters from the
sick and suffering have been re-
ceived, begging him to stay another
week that he could not refuse them,
and he will now be at the Buchtel
hotel, dispensing that all-healing
wonderful magnetic power that has
been so liberally bestowed upon him
by an all wise creator.
The name of the Boy Phepomenon
is synonym for all that is great,
good and godlike in the healing art,
and each succeeding day of his So
journ in Akron, but adds new and
convincing evidence of his unap-
proachable and undisputable power
over disease in all its types and
stages. His work in this city has
proved a revelation to the ethical
caste of medical science, and its
adherers stand amazed and dumb
founded in the presence of his splen-
did and Christlike accomplishments
He needs no commendation from
press or rostum. Upon the merits of
his ability to conquer disease in a
degree that no other agency ever
approached since the apostolic age,
he came amongst the people of Ak
ron, and the verdict as to whether or
not he has fulfilled his promises to
the suffering public in this city and
community is in their hands.
From every section of this city and
surrounding country comes unques-
tiOnable testimony from those he has
cured that he has fulfilled every
promise to the letter.
Mathew Slattery, of 163 North
Broadway, says he was great suf-
ferer three years from lumbago aud
rheumatism, but since the Boy
Wonder placed his hand on him he
has not had a sign of pain and is
again well and happy man.
There was Mrs. RObt. Swan, of
Main ST., who had not walked in two
years, from a chronic spinal and
ovarian trouble. She was carried to
the office of this young miracle
worker by attendants, and after re-
ceiving two treatments is now able
to walk to and from her home.
While he will remain at the Buch-
tel Hotel two weeks longer, no. new
cases will be taken after Saturday

LIGHTNING
Chased Lide ByerIy Out
of His House.
Remarkable Antics OF a Bolt at a
Lake township Home.

LAKE, O., July 6.-Duriug one of
our late thunder showers q bolt Of
lightning struck the residence of Lide
Byeriy and played havoc, but did no
injury to limb or life. The bolt first
struck the top of Il pine tree near the
front of the residence, then entered
the door and made for Mother Ditch,
who is nearly 50 years of age. 1t gave
her slight shock. 1t then COM
menced knocking around chairs,
stands and other furniture, taking off
the back of the organ and scattering
Lide's gold and silver coin all over
the house. Lide had sccreted his
loose change there and the lightning
was evidently bent OH playing
Money Musk when it ran into his
pile. After doing considerable dam
age in the front room it visited Mrs.
Byerly, who was washing clothes in
the kitchen, tearing off Il clothes
wringer from the very tub in
which she was washing, Civ
ing her quite Il shock from
which she did not recover that day.
The bolt not finding Lide around the
house went down the west cellar way
and there found him, but large box
stove attracted its attention for a
time, giving Lide a chance to run
out the back door, which is on a
level with ihe ground at the back
part of his house. Lide sticks to it
that it followed him out and hearing
that a metallic roof was proof against
lightning he put tin wash basin on
his head and sat out i'll the rain un-
til the storm had passed. Many peo-
pie have since visited the scene and
pronounced it one of the strangest
freaks of lightning on record. Elec
tricity seems to have filed the dwell
ing knocked off door,casings, window
strips, mop boards and other minor
attachments without doing any eX-
treme harm anywhere. Taking every
thing into consideration its occu-
pants had wonderful escape.
