The beautiful Countess Castiglione,
who died in Paris recently, forgotten by
the gay Partisan world whom once she
charmed by her beauty, was sad ex-
ample of tickle fortune and worldly favor.
She was considered the loveliest woman
in France. The nobility not only of her
own land, for she was an Italian, but of
every country she visited, paid her hon.
age. Yet she died alone and in COM
parative poverty, because the world is
true to its maxims, at the time of life
when society would have been sweetest to
her.

Miles of Postage Stamps.

G. F. Jenkens. in the Scientific
American, says that during the
year 1898 the United States
Bureau of Printing and Engraving
issued 2,50o,000,0Oo of the common
red two cent stamps, enough to GO
almost twice around the earth.
Stacked one upon another they
would pile up $50 miles beyond
our atmosphere, equal in weight
to two of our big locomotives, and
would make blanket to keep the
frost off the city of Washington.
If these stamps worked in relays
each taking the letter as far as
allowed by the postal regulations,
the message would be carried be-
yond the most remote star; and at
the fastest speed at the disposal of
the postal authorities, would
occupy millions of times the age
of the earth in transit.

urday and while lying down to dip
some water out of the hole in the ice u
steer stepped upon his leg just above
the ankle aud broke it. Mr.. O'Rourke
was thus rendered unable to walk and
hobbled to a hill top hoping to soon
arouse the attention of some one, but
it was six hours after his leg was brok-
en- before he could attract any one
and by that time both feet were severe
ly frozen. He was at once taken to
Chadron to have his feet attended to-
1t is fealed that it will be necessary t.
amputate them and that he may no,
survive the ordeal. The day of the
unfortunate accident was the coldest
of the cold spell and it is a wonder
that he was not frozen to death.
