FOR STAMP COLLECTORS.

The genuine deliberations of the
stamps of the 1onian isles consist of
CORFU at the top between two lines
Of a double circle, "franco" in an oval
with sharp ends, and pen strokes.
The highly-colored labels of various
Central and South American republics,
known in the philatelic world as See
becks, add no value to a collection.
These stamps are classed among the
speculative issues.
The stamps of Cuba used PROVISIONAL
ly in the Philippines during the first
quarter of 1859 can be distinguished
from those used in Cuba only by the
cancellation. It was the Cuban issue
of 1855 that was impressed for this
service.
The first consideration for a beauti-
full Philatelic collection is the stamps
themselves, and the second is their ar
rangement in the album. Badly en-
tered, torn or heavily Cancelled stamps
should by all means be avoided. Be-
sides being practically worthless, they
spoil the beauty of any collection.
The beginner who tries to get as
many stamps as possible without re-
gard to their arrangement in sets
makes a great mistake. In selling a
collection complete set of stamps
would sell for third or half as much
more than the same catalogue value of
single stamps. To have one complete
set of each of ten different countries
is much more desirable than to own
500 stamps with only two or three to .

himself by jumping upon the man or
has retired to his corner at the call

the mules legs would lead one to be-
lieve it to be a copy of the famous
animals that pillow on hillsides until
the legs on one side are shorter than
those on the other.
Thus, in the cold marble, is told
how this brave man met his death.
Whether the widow intended to hon

stated.
When the monument was comPlet-

assistance of the people in control
of the cemetery to prevent the arts

plan. The authorities declared that
such a monstrosity should not deco
rate the burying grounds, and in
formed the widow that unless she
would bring dire punishment on her
self the monument must never "ente1

And it did not. She tore panel OF

lowed the Career of VIM. Mckinley
With Strange Pertinacity.

The South Side high school of Min
neapolis is the owner of an oak table
which has followed the career of Will
lam Mckinley for nine years. The
table was made in 1892 in the manuel
training department of the school, and
presented to the national republican
convention held in Minneapolis that
year. Mr.. Mckinley presided and used
the table. Mr.. Downey leaned upon
the table when he prophesied that Nc
klnley would be elected president in
1885,
In 1896 the table was carried to st.
Louis, and was there used by Senator
Thurston, chairman of the republican
convention which nominated Mckinley.
In 1900 the table was taken to Phifa-
delphia to the national republican con-
vention, and a second time was Will.
lam Mckinley nominated over it.
On each of these occasions silver
plate was bedded in the table to mark
the part it had taken in the political
history of the country
And now fourth plate will be
added. The table was sent to Buffalo
as part of the school exhibit from Min.
neapolis, and President Milburn, Of
the Pan-American exposition, will be
asked to add the fourth plate, record
ing its presence at the exposition when

New York, Oct. 14.-Wide division

aid, and there will be at least three
l. Stricter antitrust legislation by the
several states and by congress, without al
tering the present relations between their
respective jurisdictions.
2. The delegation by congress to the
states of its interstate commerce jurisdic-
ton, so as to allow the states to regulate
manufacturing or trading corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce.
3. The assumption by the national gov
eminent of a larger and perhaps exclusive
control of all such corporations, and their
regulation by act of congress.
These three methods of meeting the
trust problem have been designated
for convenience by the commission,
as, first, the present system improved;
second, the state control. system, and,
third, the system of federal control.
Publicity is conspicuous and impor-
tant feature of each of these sys-

character of receipts and Expenditure

A FULL TREASURY.
Sum of S1,19O,225,22 of Available
Cash in Uncle Sans Vaults-Un-
cHualed in Worlds History

Washington, Oct. 14.-Nearly $780,
100000 is the enormous sum of money
which the United States treasury has
now in it's possession. This is an ag-
gregaue of wealth never before
equaled in the history of this or any
other country. The exact total of the
amount held by the treasury is 81, 19o,-
225,224. OF this sum $796, 547,O s9 is
held as a trust fund for the redemp-
ton of outstanding notes and certifi-
Gates; the gold coin and bullion
amounting to $150,0oo,O00, constitute
the regular service fund; there is
gold coin and bullion in the general
fund to the amount of $73,39e, 276, or
total of $145,549,03S, representing
all sorts of available notes and coin
and $110,143,772 in national bank de-
positories. Included in this great gov
ernmental wealth are $534,O0O,O00 in
gold and $493, 100000 in silver, part
of each being bullion and the remain
der coin. The subsidiary silver coin
held by the treasury amounts to
$s,7s5,S75. Fractional currency and
minor coin aggregates more than
$4s2,000. It is computed by treasury

A WIDOWS TRIBUTE.
Mule Tragedy Carved In Granite and
Set Up in a St. Charles (Mo.)
Cemetery,

Conventional tombstone design has
been knocked sideways by a bereaved
Missouri widow. The poor woman
had been deprived of her husband by
Inc sudden action of one of the
famous native mules, which, resent
ing some act on the mans part, de-
l-vered an uppercut with telling ef-
feet.
This is the subject illustrated in
bcs-relief on the stone, the time i'm
mediately after the kick; and the
stone stands at the head of a grave
in small town-St Charles--not
far from St. Louis.
The stone itself is of a common
form-a straight shaft of white gran
tie, resting upon base of brown
stone, and surmounted by beveled
cap, on which stands something that
| looks much like a haystack (prob-
| ably it is-the man IN whose men,
ory it was erected having been a
| farmer).
But the bas-relief is the point of in
| terest. It is IS inches in diameter.
In the background stands an inno-
cent looking, mild appearing animal,
that might be a lamb were it not for
the lack of wool and the presence of
a monstrous head and abnormally
large ears. ~ rope is about the neck
OF the mule; the other end of the
rope is held by a maid of peculiar
architecture, who stands with one
hand grasping her apron and with
great establishment shown on her
face.
The cause of the establishment,
says the New York Herald, is lying in
the foreground. It is a man, who ap-
Parently is held in the air by resting
on an elbow. He wears a panied ex-
preston. What is first mistaken for
a birds nest is on close inspection
found to be hat.

J PLACES

Mt. Vernon, o., Oct 16.-One of the
most daring attempts at bank robbery
in the history of Knox county occurred
at Danville early Tuesday morning.
Five charges of dynamite were used
and the bank building as we'll as the
vault wrecked. The explosions aroused
the citizens and a pitched battle took
place, during which the thieves, of
whom there were eight, took flight.
They were followed by a posse and
finally surrounded in patch of woods
where they took refuge. It is expected
they will be caught.
Trio, O., Oct 16.-A gang of seven
robbers made an uns successful at
tempt to blow the Farmers & Citi-
ems bank here early Tuesday morn
ing. Four charges of dynamite failed
to crack the strong box. The citi-
zens were aroused by the noise Of
the explosion and by the ringing of
church bells and battle took place
in the streets. The robbers went to
Daugherty's livery stable, where they
bound the man in charge and stole
two rigs in which they escaped
Mason City, Ia, Oct. 16.-The safe
of the bank at Rudd was blown open
by dynamite at night and the robbers

RENOVATING FURS.
Some Simple Suggestions for Clean
ing All Kinds Of Winter
Wraps Mt Home.

When furs become worn or soiled at
the neck, they may be renovated by
gently rubbing with cotton batting
saturated with gasoline, which should
not be used in room that has artificial
heat or light. Axel grease, tar, paint
and pitch may be removed by rubbing
first with oil of turnpentine and then
with ether. Dark furs may be cleaned
with fine cedar Or mahogany sawdust
which has been heated in an oven.
Alaska sable, seal, electric seal, fox,
etc., should be beaten with switch I'M
til free from dust, then laid with the
fur side up, and the hot sawdust rubbed
in. Be lavish with the sawdus't and Wig
orous with the rubbing. After this
place the garment upon feather pill
lows with the furry side down, and
beat well until all traces of the saw
dust have disappea1e ed. Then hang
out in shady place. White furs may
be cleaned in the same way, using
white cornme al instead of the sawdust,
or if only slightly soiled, by rubbing
we'll with magnesia in cakes. Wet furs
should never be dried near the fire, but
shaIen and hung away in cold room,
thea brushed.-Ladies' Home Journal.

for the citizens to vote $7,OO0,OO tax
it was found that the women voters
held the balance Of power, and that
in order to carry the measure the wom

This was an appalling situation.
Women are no more fond of paying
taxes than men. l;esidcs it was the
first time Louisiana woman had

In this emergency Miss Gordon

She called a mass meeting of the
women, picked out such as could talk

a campaign of education. Committees
went from one end Of the city to the
other, holding rarlor meetings in
every neighborAood, where they
preached the gospel of sanitation.
They sat up and wrestlcd of nights
with every taN-paying woman, and
taught her to fill out ballot, and the
result was that on election day it was
found that the Women's vote had been
cast as a unit for sewerage and drain

In recognition Of her services Miss

HARD WOOD FLOORS.
Keeping Them Clean Is Not Hard
Work, Provided One Knows How
to Go About It,

Floors that have been finished in
shellac should be kept clean, says the
National Builder, by thoroughly
brushing off the dust with a soft hair
or feather brush, or Ey wiping with
a cloth of soft texture. If the cloth
is slightly moist the dust will adhere
to it more readily, but wipe with
dry cloth afterward. If any dirt that
will not wipe off with moist cloth
should Ice deposited on the floor, wash
it off thoroughly with clean mot hot)
water, using soap if necessary, which
also cleanse off with water as quickly
as possible and wipe dry.
When the face of the floor Begins
to look worn and shabby, after
cleansing off the dirt and wiping dry,
if water has been used, rub the sur
face all over nicely with a mixture
two-thirds turpentine and one-third
raw linseed oil. To do this saturate
soft cloth of any kind with the
mixture, wiring it out half-dry and rub
the floor with it evenly. DO not use
the oil so freely as to leave it stand
Ing OH Inc SuflGCe 10 eaten aust. 10
prevent this wipe off with a clean,
dry cloth. After the shellac is worn
down to the surface of the wood,
sandpaper it all over evenly with
No. 1 sandpaper and give it another
coat of shellac, after which continue
to keep as before.
Floors finished in plain oil only
should be kept in the same manner
as above, more soap and water being
required, and more frequent rubbing
with the mixture of turpentine and
linseed oil spoken of above.
WaXed floors can be cleansed bv
washing off thoroughly with turpen-
tine and benzine, after which thew
can be rewaxed if desired.
Floors finished in hard oil'' should
be kept like floors finished with shell
lac.
A maple floor for kitchen that
has not been finished in wax or oil
is best taken care of by being
scrubbed or rubbed with any of the
securing preparations now in the
market for that purpose

The Power of Forgetting.

Some things are better forgotten
than remembered. The habit of over
looking family jars, of failing to see
the sour look, and not hearing the
harsh word, and setting aside forever
the disagreement is habit that
makes for family peace. It is throw
ing the stones in the path out of
ones way. Life is short at best and
we should make it rule to grasp
only the pleasant things and count
only days of sunshine Each one OF
us has a pet failing. In WEAKNESS
and at times when not on guard out
comes the impatient reply, or the
spiteful word which moment after
we feel that we would give anything
in our possession could we but recall
it. Unforeseen and unguarded i'm
pulses may be at the root of your
neighbor's peculiarities. Be patient
and forget.-Chicago Post.
