FOUNDED BY A FOUNDING.
Large business Enterprise of Lon
don Which Had IA Very Ro-
mantle Origin.

Very curious and romantic are the
circumstances under which certain
hourishing city enterprises have been
founded. For instance. says the Lon
don VI. T. T.. there stands in the heart
OF Cheapside a noble pile of bindings,
occupied by firm whose name is
household word throu9hou, the king
dom. The founder of that ou,iue>, was
mysteriou,ly dropped on the doorstep
Of a city church and sent 10y the au-
thorities to the Founding hospital,
where he was named after the church
in question lie was afterWard intrust-
ed to respectable woman. who I'M
dertook to bring him up with her own
family.
Soon after this inquiries were made
at the Founding hospital about the boy
by a young and beautiful lady. whose
name and rank-she was evidently OF
aristocratic origin-remained shroud-
ed in mystery. \ solicitor was ulti-
mately instructed 10 pay the boys fos-
ter-mother a certain sum monthly.
This continued until he arrived al the
age OF about IA, when he was taken
away. put to good school and finally
started in life. Plucky and pushing.
he developed his business until il be-
came one OF the finest of its class in
the city. He died a wealthy man. with
out having penetrated the mystery OF
his birth

FINLAND'S STAMPS VANISH.
Amusing Method To which the stub
born Films Have ResOrted to
Keep Them Current.

Finland is no longer a member OF the
international postal union. a. by an
imperial Russian ukase the Finnish
postage stamp is withdrawn from use,
and the Russian postage stamp substi-
tuted. While the Finnish postage
stamp until a few weeks ago had no
value in the eyes of stamp collectors,
1t has now at one jump reached TO
the head of the list. and will probably
be the most valuable in the stamp coll
lector's albums. The Firms are OF
course furious against Russia for this
additional demonstration Of the Bear
to blot their country off the map OF
the world.
But the Firms are by nature stub
born people. and the method they
adopted TO still compel the Russian au.
thorities TO forward letters with the
Finnish postage stamp is amusing.
Their correspondence they inclosed IN
an ordinary envelope on which they
placed the Finnish postage stamp in
the usual corner. This envelope was
then inclosed in a thin transparent
envelope. plainly showing the Finnish
stamp. The outside envelope was then
properly addressed and provided with
a Russian postage stamp placed by The
side of the Finnish. So far no notice
has been taken 10y the Russian govern
ment of this amusing method.

PENSIONS FOR TEA TASTERS.
Useful Glass Of Men-A
Novel Proposition.

The very novel proposition is being
made that the government put super
animated tea buyers on tine pension
list. says a London correspondent. 10
is well known that tea is the chief
beverage of all classes i'm the nited
Kingdom and the fact that the Eng
lish people get the best tea in the
world is largely due To care exercised
by the buyers or "tasters.' as they
are sometimes called. Their health
is often ruined by their occupation,
as the tea acts as a drug that in the
course Of a few years ruins their
nervous system and they become
hopeless mental and physica wrecks.
The proposition has been made that
the dealers who employ the men pay
the pensions, but they are not dis
posed TO undertake the contract and
ask the government TO step in. This
may be done, although there is Q
general feeling that the people gen.
orally should not be taxed for such Q
purpose.
Some OF the more liberal Of the tea
merchants. however, have engaged TO
care for their old and faithful buyers.
One firm claims to have 1000 pension
ers on its list: another has about 900.
! These are exceptions TO the rule, as
the majority Of firms turn their tast-
ers off as soon as the days of their
usefulness are over. One OF the firms
| interested suggests the formation OF
a benefit society composed altogether
( Of tea tasters. but this meets with lit
/ tie favor. a. the men themselves usual
/ ~ spend all their salaries as they 90
! along and could not pay the dues that
would be required. The life Of the
tea faster at best is not an enviable
one and there is a general feeling that
something should be done for their
maintenance after they have become
incapacitated for work by the mar
cotic they test for the benefit OF the
4 public

When the farmer reads that the value
Of the share capital of thirty.four lead

creased over $500, O0o.o 900 within the

rapid growth of foreign exports largely
rest on farm productions.
