the prosperity and happiness Of the
American people depended on sus-

Ex-senator Edmunds was equally
emphatic, and declared his belief
that the greatest danger to the eoun-

willingness to take the stump for
the republican ticket.
Speaker Reed said his whole public
career had been devoted to building

NEW AND STRANGE STAMP.
Has Ne val.s, Bst Catholics Found
II Useful N sending Their
Mail.

E, new and strange stamp has been
attracting the attention and wonder of
our post Office officials. 1t is stamp
not found in any collection or sold by
any government, 1t has no legal value
whatsoever. Neither is it counter
felt, nor intended to supplant in any
way the stamps issued by the govern
ment authorities. 1t always appears
accompanied by the proper number Of
United States postage stamps. either
fastened by their side or stuck in the
lower left-hand corner of the envelope.
says the Philadelphia Press.
AT first glance the stamp is sur
prise and mystery o the officials. In
size and general appearance it is much
like those of oriental and South Amer
lean countries. But closer look at
the design-a saint bearing the Christ
child in his arms-reveals its religious
character. Then the men discover the
letters S. A. G. at the top of the stamp.
and for many of them the problem is A,
once solved.
Nearly everyone who has anything to
do with the handling of the mails is
familiar with these three Initials.
Thousands of letters bearing them in
the lower left-hand corner or written
upon the back of the envelope are re
ceived and delivered daily in this city
alone. Even the least observant c!crl
or carrier has rema rked and questioned
them.
The initials and stamps are practic
ally the same thing: or. rather. the
stamp is a new phase of an ancient Gus.
tom which exists over the entire world
and which during the last few years
has sprung into popularity in this
country. 1t is a Roman Catholic Gus
tom. The S. \. G. stands for st An

Many wonderful things are attrb-
uted to St. Anthony by Catholics. He
is known among them as the ''miracu-

lite saint, and so paying him aGditiona
honor. St. Anthony's stamps. as they
are called. are modern and distinctly
American invention. But the custom is
over a century and half old.
1t is strange that while hundreds OF
Catholics will not think of posting a
letter until IS. A. G." is safely on tn

why they have this implicit faith in ST

A WONDERFUL WATCH.
One in Maryland Known as . MatiIs
Which Aroused Mark Twnin's
AdmiFa tiOn.

What is perhaps the most wonderful
watch in the world 10 in the posses
sion of a resident OF Prince Gregory
county. Maryland, says the Washington
Times.
This remarkable timepiece. known a.
the Matile watch. from the name Of its
maker. was made at Looe. Switzerland

held at Philadelphia in 1876. and was
purchased on that occasion by it.
present owner. A description of the
watch by Mark Twain Is. l.. ClemenS)
is as remarkable for accuracy as it is
humorous. The well-known writer
thus gives his impressions OF the mar
velous piece of mechanism:
II have examined the wonderful
watch made by H. l.. Matile. and. in
deed. it comes nearer to being human
being than any piece of mechanism
ever saw before. In fact it knows
considerably more than the average
voter. 1t knows the movements OF
the moon. and keeps exact record Of
them: it tells the day Of the week. thu
date of the month. and the month Or
the year. and will do this perpetually:
it tells the hour of the day. and the
minute. and the second and even splits
the second into tifths. and marks the
division by stop hands. having two of
the latter; it can take accurate care

three-quarter hour, and also the min
utes that have passed of an uncom-
pleted quarter-hOur, so that a blind
man can tell the time of day by it to
the exact minute.
Such is this extraordinary watch.
1t ciphers to admiration. I should
think one could add another wheel and
make it read and write. still another
and make it talk; and think one might
take out several of the wheels that
are already in it and it would still be a
more intelligent citizen than some that
help to govern the country. On the
whole. | think 1t is entitled to vote
that is, if its sex is of the right kind.
The watch was sold for 81. 400. and
it is still performing its complex
functions with the greatest regularity.
