WORLDS POSTAGE STAMPS
United States Has Issued the Greatest
 Number of Varieties.

In recently published catalogue of the postage stamps of the world are some interesting statistics. The total number of the known varieties of postage stamps issued by all the governments of the world up to the present time is 13,S11. Of this num- Der 131 have been issued in Great Britain, and 3,S43 in the various British colonies and protectorates, leaving 9,831 for the rest of the world. Or, dividing the totals among the con- tinents, Europe issued 3,359, Asia, 2,571; Africa, 2,320; America, 4,656, and Oceania, 905.
 Taking the countries separately, the most prolific in stamps is the United States, which leads the list with 267, followed by Cautiously enough) Spain with 278, Salvador, 212, and Uruguay and Shanghai with 215 each. Last Bela (Beluchistan), Poland, Tierra del Fuego, and Wadh- wan have each found a solitary spec imen suffice for their postal needs, while Cordoba, Crete, Formosa, Jhal- awar and New Hebrides have each been content with pair, Two of the British colonies have issued more varieties of stamps than the mothel country-Vietoria, with 174, and Ceylon, with 138. The rarest stamps, consequently the most expensive, are the two earliest stamps of MaWitius, worth e1,o?o each, one of British Guinana of the Same value, one of Hawaii appraised at $500, one of Ru- mania at f300 and several of the United States at from f100 to f25o each.-Westminster Gazette.

C0lors of Lake Waters.

It is well known that the water of many lakes exhibit characteristic colors. The Lake of Geneva, at the western end of Switzerland, is blue, while the Lake of Constance, at the eastern end of Switzerland, is green. Blueness implies purity, since the na- tural color of water is blue. A green lake has its water slightly clouded with impurities, which may be ex- ceedingly fine particles, separately in visible. Prof. Spring, of the Uni versity of Liege, says that green lakes sometimes become absolutely color less for time, and he has found that this sudden change of hue is due to the washing into the lakes of mud col ored red by oxide of iron Red is com plementary to green, and the result of the mixture is that the green color of the water becomes for the time be- inc neutralized

THE BIRCH BARK TEPEE.
How the Indian Constructs His Portable
 House.

c. c. Farr, who was with the Hud- son Bay company 15 years and who has been around the head waters of the Ottawa for much longer period, is a mine of interesting information on all matters pertaining to game or wild life. He saw me looking at a bark tepee and said that the Indian name for it was asohahgan, and that the specimen came from Lake Ami manipissing.
 q had to get one of them for the show," he said, 'Eand 1 went to an h. dian named Peeshahbo and told him to give me his. Peeshahbo said: How the blazes am I going to live for the rest of the winter:' Isaid: Oh, man, yell make a new one.' But l can't peel any bark says he. Never you mind,' says I; I've got to have it. and with that 1 took it, and here its"
 MT. Farr explained that the bark tepees are used by the Indians in their winter hunting trips. They are made in summer from the bark of large birches, sewed together in sections measuring about three feet by twelve feet. The pole framework of the tepee is erected and the bark bent around before it has dried, so that 1t will take the proper shape. The free ends of the bark sections are protected and kept from splitting by light strips of wood, one on either side, which are att tached by sewing. Seven of these three by twelve bark sections are used in the construction of the asohahgan. When the Indian moves his camp the sections are made into tight rolls for convenience in carrying, In erecting the tepee the bottom section is put in place first, and two of the rolls are commonly required to reach around. Afterward the other sections are woundaround the cone-shaped frame work up to within short distance of the peak. The top is left open for the escape of smoke. The upper sections lap over the lower, shingle fashion, and all the seams run diagonally with reference tc a vertical line, in such way as to shed water perfectly.
 The sewing is done with wattup. Wattup is made from the roots of spruce trees, pulled out by the women and boiled till softened. The brown bark covering is rubbed off, and the roots split into suitable sizes for sew ing. Wattup will keep for years, and Is tougher than moosewood. When wanted for use all that is necessary IS to throw it into water, and 1t becomes pliable and easily worked. = Forest and Straam

 Marine Hospital Surgeon Perry, quarantine officer for the Philip pines, has forwarded an oifi- cial report on leprosy in the Phil ippines. He says "Leprosy is widely prevalent over the entire archipelago, but the greatest num- Der of cases exist in Southern Luzon and the southern islands. It Is quite prevalent in Cebu, the num- Der of lepers being estimated at E. 900. The total number of eases in the islands is estimated at 20,0OO, but the actual number is not known, and census is difficult on account of the majority of eases being in the rural districts. I"

BLOOD OF THE EEL.
Is Very Poisonous and an Antidote fo,
 Viper Venom.

It has been known for years that the blood of eels contains. highly poisonous principles; d dog inoculated with dozen dropsof eel's blood dies in ten minutes. This discovery was made about ten years ago by two ltal ian brothers named Mosso. The pois- on is readily destroyed by heat and by mere lapse of time, wherein it differs from a snake poison, which long re- tains its virulence; moreover, eel serum is harmless when taken with food; it invariably suceumbs to the processes of digestion. If serum be taken from an animal that has been rendered immune to snake poison, and injected under the skin of an eel, the poisonous property of the eels blood is thereby impaired Serum taken from an eel is naturally about three times as poisonous as, the serum of the most vicious viper.
 Although diluted eel-serum may protect an animal from so deadly a poison as viper venom, the converse does not hold good; the serum of vipers is no protection against the poison of eels' serum. Serum ob- tained from animals gradually trained up to withstand fatal doses of serpent venom differs from ordinary serum in the astonishing rapidity of its action; not only its protective but also its un- doubted curative power has been es- tablished. A recent number of Long mans Magazine contains a deeply in teresting paper on this subject from the pen of Mrs. Percy Frankland
 The essential ingredient of Venice. Treacle, the famous remedy of 200 or 300 years ago, was the crushed body Of viper; recent discoveries suggest that there may have been scientific reasons in it's favor. It is not gener- ally known that our word "treacle" Is derived from the Greek word for viper. and from the nauseous compound Venice Treaele. - Good Words.

THE CITY OF MEXICO.
rts Municipal Government Is Clean ana
 Dignified

The City of Mexico is governed without jobbery. Its council is made np of "regidores," or aldermen, who serve without pay, and are owners of real estate, body of gentlemen above suspicion, giving their time to munic- mai affairs. They are members of committees as in an American city government, and their sessions are held in a superb hall, magnifcently decorated, one of the noblest council halls to be seen anywhere.
 The city government of Mexico dates back to 1527, and it has been notably free from scandals; the ablest men in the community have for cen turies sat in its aldermanic chairs. The early Spaniards were most ener- getie men, and their first care was to perfect city government. It is most creditable to the City of Mexico and it has been governed so excellently and with so high regard for the in- terests of the people.
 Tie city hall itself is a handsome and very old building, built in 1720, succeeding the city hall of 1864, and is of the Spanish sort, solid, ample, and with plenty of air and sunshine. It faces the great plaza, and opposite it is the cathedral, and on the north the national palace, church and state being in close proximity, although with, nowadays, no political bond. One thing that impresees an Ameri- can on entering the city hall is that there are no loafers standing about; the ward politician and the wirepuller with "inhuence" are unknown under a regime of property-holders. Rather the general aspect of the interior of the ancient edifice, which has been of late years superbly decorated, is one of business. Police officials stand about in uniform, messengers are ready for errands. and there is an air of dignity, and. if l may say it, of re- fnement, everywhere noticeable. The city officials are courteous, prompt and always obliging.-Boston Her

TRAMP BOYS.
How the Great Army of Hoboes Is Re cruited.

In recent article in the New York Independent Mir. Josiah Flint, speak ing from ten years acquaintance at hrst hand with American tramp life, makes the startling statement that there are about 1000 boys in the United States who are leading an ex- cluslyely tramp life. Their average age IS about IA years. They come from all grades of society, recruits be- ing drawn mainly from those whose lmaglnations are easily inhamed with stories of wild, frontier life A course of ''dime novels" in advance furnishes just the preparation which the experienced "bobo" can turn to advantage in enticing the victim. Once ensnared, and started "on the road" the lad becomes the slave of hs tramp master. The hope with which his future is lighted, and his lot made endurable, is that of becom- Ing in turn master "bobo," who will compel some other hapless victim to do his bidding. In this way young lie is continually being ground to destruction that the army of profes- slonal tramps may be maintained.- Baptist Union

The department of state has from Frankfort, Germany, the following translation of recent statement of the Frankfort chamber of commerce on American competition: "'The harbor authorities of Calcutta ad- vertised for bids on locomotives. The lowest English bid was $1,349 for each locomotive, to be delivered within nine months; the lowest American bid was $5,99S, delivered within six months. The American firm received the contract. The contract for furnishing a large quantity of cast-iron pipes for the Dutch colonies was some time ago awarded to an American firm. which underbid German competit- ors nearly 25 per cent Eately. large orders for rails were placed in America from Holland.
 "Eyen the English government is obliged to give Americans the pref erence over their own works on ac- count of lower prices and quicker delivery, as in the construction of the Uganda bridges. American competition will be felt especially in the Chinese markets after the cessation of hostilities.
