Tho New Postage Stamps.

Those who cannot attend tho Pan

issued in recognition of that enterprise.
They will be licked with moro willing

Each of those stamps represents what
is styled an "aid to commerce."
They arc printed in two colors, red
and black. Tho design is that of a
framed picture, tho aid to commerce
being. typifiod by tho picture of some
vehicle OF transportation.
The one-ccnt stamp represents "Fast
Lake Navigation" tho object selected
to typify it being u lake steamship.
The two-ccnt stamp, which will be
most used, represents tho fast railroad
service of tho country. Tho picture
engraved on tho stamp is that of the
Empire State Express" a reproduction
of tho photograph Of the train so named,
when tho locomotive was speeding along
at the rate of sixty four miles an hour.
Tho four-cont stamp has the picture of
designed to represent the latest modo of
travel.
Tho five cent stamp presents a picture
OF tho stcol arch bridge over Niagara
river at Niagara Falls.
The oightcent stamp shows tho locks
at .Sault Sto Marie. 1t is through these
locks that steamships pass from Buffalo
out to Western points.
The tcn-ccnt stamp gives an illustra-
tiOn of :. modern ocean steamship.
Each particular stamp in tho new
series has real artistic merit, and rail
road and steamship companies have not
been slow in recognizing their value as
setting forth their particular lines of
commerce.

Plenty Of Blind Tiger Liquor in Charleston

Charleston, S. c., May 20.-The orders
from tho State Board of Dispensary Con
troll, to close all beer and liquor dispensa-
rics in Charleston, has not interfercd
thus far with the traffic of the tigers.
When tho quiet tip was passed down tho
liquor limo Friday morning that places
would have to close, tho 500 blind tigers
made a mcrry rush to buy, and while
they did not force up tho price by tho
movement, they got enough liquor to pull
through period. According to careful
estimates there are 500 tigers in Charles
ton. Some of these arc unpretontious
corner shops, but others arc handsomely
and elegantly furnished, and have every
sign of the modern saloon. Not much
liquor is being kept in sight just at pre-
sent, for fear that an army of State con
stables will be hurried horo to enforce
the law and stop all sales. Until the
storm has somewhat blown over the
tigers will sell cautiously and mono but
known customers can buy.
When tho State constablcs are sent
here to help enforce the law, as is conf
IDENTIFY expected, the outsiders look for IA
hot fight between these officers and the
hundreds of blind tigers.

preacher, who had lived all his life
in the South with the exception of
two years spent in the pastoratc in
that city, recently said in sermon
"From my personal observation
must confess that prejudice against
my race III some sections of the
North is as strong as in the South,
only it is met and dealt with in a
different way. The South gives
every man an opportunity to earn a
living; the Northern negro is given
an opportunity to spend his living
without the opportunity to earn it,"

Gratitude Of tho Rather.

This is the way it happened:
"You see Jim was about the kind
est-hearted chap that ever lived.
One day he was going along out on
the farm when he seen a six-foot rat

by a big boulder that had fallen on
its tail. Now, of course, ninety-n nine
men out of a hundred would have
gotten a club or handful of rocks
and killed the poor critter right
there. But that was not jim. No,
sir! Jim gets out his handkerchief
and wipes his eyes and then rolls
that boulder off'n that snakes tail

Laugh on tho Teacher.

1t was at the Normal School that
this happened and the class laughed.
1t was a laugh on the teacher, too,
hut he didn't get angry, although it
did break into the serious contcm-
plation of serious studies with which
he was trying to interest the students.
1t was in the study of psychology,
and they were discussing what ideas
first entered the human mind when
certain words were spoken or written
whether the mind thought of one
certain object designated by the
word of the whole general class
which is embodied in that word.
To experiment on the mental phc.
nomena in order TO bring it more
clearly to the attention Of the
students the professor said he would
write word on the board, and then
let one of them tell instantly wha,
impression was made upon her mind.
lie called upon one Of the pupils to
be ready to think quickly and tell
exactly what her first thought was
after she saw the word which he
was about to write. He stood cl Sc
to the board, so that the word was
hidden by his shoulders until he
turned. He wrote the word "pig,"
and all of the class saw it except the
girl who was standing ready to make
reply. When he turned he ddn',
get out of her way and she couldn't
see the word. In reply to his sharp,
quick question
"Now, what do you sce?" she
replied naively: "l see you" And
the class laughed. - Milwaukee

Wolves in Marlboro County.

Advices from Marlboro county tell of
wild excitement in Smithvillc township
over the discovery of pack of wolves.
strange animal which attracted dogs
owned by Dudley Stanto few nights
ago was identified rs a bear and an
armed posse followed the tracks to tho
deep woods. Going far in tho under
growth the posse ran upon wolf bed
which was guarded vciously by a she
wolf She was driven of fighting. The
crowd captured tho young wolves, nine
in number, and they are held as host
ages. Other hunters arc still searching
for the rest of the pack. There is so
much fear in the township that schools
have temporarily closed and at nights
tho doors and windows of every home
are nailed and locked. Tho |. ling of
both wolves and signs of bears has led
tho community to believe that other
wi animals inhabit the swamp lands
nearby, and in somo quarters the excite
mcnt is intense. This is increased
through fear that the matldoned she
wolf will go trailing for her young.

Religious Reform in Mexico.

Mexico City, May 1o.-The breaking
up of the Convent of the Carmclito Nuns
in this city is believed to bc the begin
ming of a movement all over the country
to drive out monks and nuns living in
communities in disobedicncc to tho re-
form laws. There is much agitation of
the matter in religious circles, but the
liberal party newspapers commend the
firm action of the government. Efforts
arc being made to get the dispersed
Carmclitc nuns to return to their homes
in various States, but they, evidently
believing that they can remain here and
reunitc, refuse all offers to be sent home
free of cost. Evidently the government
has taken this action to show that it
will not tolerate any violation of tho re-
form laws enacted during tho anti -cler-
cal regime of President JuareZ.
