In view of the fact that the Indianapolis

this month or early in February. but also
an exhibition of particularly choice speci-
MEMS, If convenient location can be Sc
cured, it is to be hoped that some enter
prising collector will secure a set of the
new French issue, which was placed on
sale on Dec. Z, for the benefit of those who
have not seen the new stamps. They are a
distinct improvement over former issues.
II would be strange, indeed, If they were
not. for French stamps, Of both the en-
pire and the second and third republics,
have been notorious for ugliness. The new
designs embrace fifteen stamps, or one
less than the issue they displace, and range
in value from one centime to five francs.
NJ Mouchon designed those of one, two.
three, four and five centimes: NJ. Joseph
Blanc designed those of ten, fifteen. twen-
ty, twenty-five and thirty confines, and
NJ. Luc Olivier Merson designed those of
forty and fifty centimes and one. two, and
FIVE francs The transformation is as COM
plete as would be the case in a change of
regime, and affects both design and
color. Moreover. the stamps OF forty GEN.

ordinary stamps.
M Mougeot. whose position corresponds
with that of postmaster general of the
United States. has explained the changes
by saying that it seemed to him indispen-
sable that the third French Republic should
have stamps bearing its own efigy. when
the second empire fell the dies of the

Father John of oron.tadt. Miracle.
From the Pan Mall Gazette.


The Novoe Vremya of Sept. II has
the following account OF a miracle per-
formed by the famous Father John of
Cronstadt: "On the 18th Father John
arrived at the village of Sopino. con-
Quoted service, and spent the night
with Father Lvov. Next day he jour-
neyed to Konchanskols and conse-
Grated the new stone church there in
the presence Of fully 10000 people.
After this service a breakfast was
given in the school and many speeches
were delivered. In the midst of the
breakfast two men and two old women
were seen approaching the schoolhouse
bearing the seemingly hfeless body Of
a woman. For seven years this wo-
man had been paralytic, unable to
move arms or legs or open her eyes
was a living corpse. On their bringing
her to him Father John arose, stood
before her. and, asking her name, gazed
fixedly at her. Then in a loud voice he
babe her open her eyes. After several
attempts Audotya (the paralytic) did
so. Look me straight in the face
said Father John, and cross yourself
Slowly and with great effort the wo-
man succeeded in making the sign Of
the cross. DO IL again. said Father
John, and again. With ever increas-
ing faith the woman repeated the
movement. Stand up said Father
John, and the woman arose. Then he
moved from his place, bidding her fow-
low. Now walk around me- said
Father John. and the lately seemingly
dead woman slowly approached and
fell on his shoulder. Go and pray
said he, blessing the woman. On this
she moved away without any help.
All this took place in the presence of
thousands. who were unable to restrain
their fearS Z"

REINDEER MAIL CARRIERS.
Severe Tests Proved Their Superior
fty I'm Alaska.

Washington. Oct. 4.-Since the dis
covery and exploitation of the gold
mines in the far northwest Of the
continent has scattered over the inte-
rior of Alaska small and far divided
settlements of American citizens, the
problem of the government has been
to establish and preserve the usual
lines of communication. 1t has been a
principle of the Postoffice Department,
that wherever there is an American
settlement on American soil, there
shall be a mail service. But the carry
ing out of this principle was beset with
astounding difficulties in a country
where for half of the year all trails
are blotted out OF existense by ten
feet of snow. Horses are absolutely
useless under such circumstances. Dog
teams were tried with only partial sue
cess. Sometimes they reached their
destination with the precious mall
bags safely, and on time. More often
they were days. or even weeks, late.
Sometimes they didn't come at all. At
the best, the system was not sue
cess. The government cast about for
a substitute for the dog, and hit up
on the reindeer.
At first the idea was hailed with de-
rision by the Klondikers. Reindeer
couldn't do the work they declared.
The animals couldn't get through the
unstable Alaskan now-drifts They
would fall an easy prey to wolves ana
mountain lions. They would kill them
selves with the dried, poison grass
that grows along the mountain passes.
No white man could manage them.
They would balk, they would kick, they
would tire out, lie down and die. and
so on, to limitless extents OF criti-
cism. All of which was based on the
rather unsatisfactory results of an i'm
fore. Having once became interested in
a project the government is not easily
discouraged by criticism "A test was
determined upon and the outcome for
ever established the pre-eminence of
the render for arctic mail delivery.
A render team with a Lapp driver
was selected to carry one of the mail
bags over the Nome route, and to re.
turn with the outgoing mail, the
round trip being about 500 miles. Two
days before the reindeer started three
well equipped dog teams started. The
route lay through country without
road or trail, and the conditions were
as harsh as heavy snow falls could
make them. Early on the fifth day out
the reindeer team caught up with the

Of soft, drifted snow. In this the dogs
had been bemired, and their desperate
hounderings had 30 weakened them

Magnificent Bravery of Dudes.

F. w. Unger, in his forthcoming
book. with 'Bobs' and Kruger" pays
the following tribute to British SOL
diers:
up to this time my relations with
the British officers had been almost en-
tirely of a social nature. l found them,
without exception, to be the most cour-
teous and pleasant set of men 1 have
ever met-always dignified, and with
what seemed to me to be an excep-
tionally high sense of honor, their code
of which every man appeared to live
up to also. Later on I was able to
see something more of the same men
in action at close quarters. 1 do not
care to criticise their efficiency as Of
ficers, for what dement's they have are
more the fault of the system that of
the material But as to courage and
bravery, the English officer has few
equals and no superiors. Bravery, es-
pecially in time of battle, is largely a
matter of comparison. The British
Tommy, drawn from the slums of Lon
don, where for perhaps many genera
tons he and his ancestors had never
known the meaning of comfort, taken
on dreary voyage to Table Bay, half
baked in cattle-cars for a thousand
miles across the Karroo desert, then
chilled and wet at night, on half ra-
lions all the time-after such a prepa-
ration a real battle or skirmish with
the enemy is tremendous relief from
a terrible monotony, and requires only
a low grade of courage to urge Tom
, my onward-he has so little to lose.
but with the aritocratic officers the
case is quite different. They have been
in perhaps half a dozen campaigns be-
fore; there is nothing novel in the ex-
perience. They have left comfortable
barracks or luxurious quarters and
clubs in London; they belong to the
upper ten thousand who have more or
less of all that man can desire. They
have left behind, and hope to go back
to, all that's best in life. They may
lose what all the rest of humanity are
strenuously striving with might and
main to obtain. And they know it.
And whenever they rush out under
Mauser fire, twenty yards ahead of
their companies, shouting, Come on.

one in ten, for every skirmish results
in two or more officers killed or
wounded.

strikes out viciously with his foretee,@
1t is then in order for the man 10
beat a hasty retreat. Watching ms
opportunity he runs in, SEXES the
horns. one in either hand, and dex'
teriously throws the deer upon MS
back. He lies passive. When once
down the animals Immediately gives
up the struggle. A halter is fastened
on his head and with long rope or
strip of untanned leather made fast to
a moss hummock he is allowed to run
and jerk for several days until he
finds out what it is to be fastened.
Now comes the most difficult task OF
all-that of Harvesting him. Generally
it is necessary to throw the animal
before the harness can be put in place.
When the deer finds that he is fasten-
ed in a new way, feels the tug rub
bling against his legs and the pressure
upon his shoulders he makes his
greatest demonstrations and most ter
rife struggles for liberty. This per-
Torrance is continued for days and
finally the deer is driven for miles at
a time until he becomes thoroughly
accustomed to his driver, harness and
sled. Once broken to harness he is do
cile, intelligent and possessed of in
donitable pluck and endurance.
Render have been the real heroes OF
the most thrilling enterprises in the
history of Alaska. One was the car
rying of relief supplies to the desti-
tute miners in the Yukon Valley when
untol hardships and privantions were
endured in driving across an unknown
wilderness without roads or trails or
guides. The reindeer were frequently
stampeded by wolves and mountain
lions, but in the end they accomplish
ed journey which could not posi-
bly, have been made with either dogs
or horses. In conjunction with the
revenue cutter Bear-which vessel, by
the way has been employed more ex-
tensively than any other in the trans
portation of reindeer-three hundred
deer carried supplies in the famous
relief expedition to the whalers inn
prisoned in the ice near Point Barrow
In this case the overland journey ex-
ceeded $500 miles in length.

Gen. Gatacre's Hard Luck.

Gen. Gatacre is one of the somewhat
numerous British commanders whose
reputation the present South African
war has ruined or damaged. In his
forthcoming book, with 'Bobs and
Kruger" Mr.. Frederic w. Unger tells
a story showing by what narrow
mark Gatacre missed being one Of the
wars successes instead of one of it's
failures. Unger says:
AT this time Gen. Gatacre was much
broken in spirit, and in the opinion of
those who had known him a long
while, a greatly changed man. Capt.
Tenant discouraged any interviewing,
and so it happened I never came into
personal contact with the general other
than by a mere formal Introduction,
which he acknowledged without COM
ment. Among the officers, correspond
ents and soldiers, however, found
that he was highly esteemed as an off,
Ger and gentleman. The Tommies
spoke affectionately of him as the old
man. He had the reputation of work.

ways said, no harder than he himself
worked All sympathized deeply with
him in the disgrace which had attend
ed his reverse at Stormberg and after
his dismissal, when the five Irish COM
panies were captured at Edenberg and
the blame was wrongly laid on his
shoulders, ne being made Scapegoat

land; everyone acquainted with the
facts was loudly indignant for his fail

said to be entirely due to orders being
sent to him direct, from Lord Roberts.
to remain where he was, until 1t was
too late. Months after, when l had
become a guest of the Boer army,
heard an interesting tale about his re-
verse at Stormberg. Gen. oliver was
his opponent. Had Gen. Gatacre
marched half an hour longer, on that
disastrous night, instead of retreating,
he would have reached an impregnable
position unoccupied by the Beers,
which would have separated Gen. OIL
yer from the rest of his army. divers
retreat would have been cut off, and he
would have been forced to surrender
to Gen. Gatacre. The failure to do
this ruined Gen. Gatacre's reputation
and shattered his health. This is
striking instance of how an accidental
decision the wrong way at a critical
time diverted victory from the British
and gave it to the Beers, and is one of
many instances which has made South
Africa the graveyard of regulations.
