1t is easy to rip the side seams of n
delicate or gorgeous pillow covering
and carefully pull the pillow through
the opening. Shake the dust from the
elaborate cases and lay them away
where neither flies nor sun nor rust can
find them. The cost is very small of
material which in summer is grateful
to the touch and inviting to the eye,
and it is little trouble TO sew up squares
CT oblongs TO fit your pillows, and sure
ly appreciation of such cushions, so
quiet in color and cool to the touch,
will be expressed by their popularity.
The best material for this purpose is
the linen which is commonly used for
furniture covering. Remember that in
warm weather more comfort is to be
had from pillow which is not too soft.
SO make your summer coverings quite
"a bit smaller than the down pillows.

NEW ISSUE OF STAMPS
UNCLE SAM HAS A SURPRISE IN STORE
FOR THE PUBLIC.

Color, Design and shape of Fifteen
Denominations to BE Changed.
Harrison's Portrait on New Stamp.
Value of MisprInts.
Uncle Sam is going to issue a new Sc
ries of postage stamps. Work on it has
already begun in the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing ar Washington. There
will be new sizes and shapes, new
shades and tints, and all will have new
border designs.
With the exception of three series of
commemorative stamps-the Columbi-
an. Transmississippi and Pan-Ameri-
can-the present issue has been unin-
terruptedly in use for twelve years. 1t
is time for n change. So Uncle Sam
thought. and he is busy making it.
The entire staff of skilled artists in
the engraving division of the depart
ment are at work upon the new designs
for fifteen denominations. While the
faces of the same national heroes hon
ored upon the present issue will, with
one exception, be retained, entirely diff
ferent portrait vignettes will be made
in every case.
Thus the profiles of Franklin, Wash
ington, jackson and Jefferson on the
/, >, 3 and 30 cent stamps will give way
TO three-fourths or seven-eighths full
face portraits. New yignettes of Lin
coin, Grant. Garfield, Sherman, Web
ster, Clay, Madison and Marshall are
being selected for the remaining de-
nominations. The face of Farragut
will be substituted for that of Perry on
the dollar stamp.
one entirely new stamp will come
with the new issue. \ new denomina-
ton has been selected to bear the por-
trait of Benjamin Harrison. This is
to be Il IS cent stamp and will repre-
sent the cost of sending a registered
letter of ordinary weight to any for
cign point within the international
postal union. Mrs. Harrison has been
asked to furnish what she considers
the best portrait of her late husband
In preparing for new stamp issue
the first step is the submission of va
riOus designs by the corps of artists.
Those selected Will be enlarged until
they are big enough to frame. They are
then reduced photographically TO tine
desired size of the completed stamp.
These photo miniatures are then
printed on white paper and given to the

engravers together with the enlarged
design and the original portraits of the
subjects. This enables the engravers
to attain greater exactness of detail
and expression. After the vignettes are
engraved the lettering and borders are
added.
As soon rs Uncle Sam or any other
nation decides upon new stamp issue
philatelists institute a sharp lookout for
freaks" Before stamp printers. per-
fOrators. etc, have become well broken
in on new issue they make errors.
and these are apt TO pass the inspectors
because the latter have not yet become
accustomed to the new designs.
1t will pay well to find n freak dur
ing the first days of the new series.
When the Pan-American stamps were
first issued last year. a sheet of the .
cent denomination with the central To-
connective vignctte inverted happened to
pass the inspector. Lucky people who
got these realized as much as $50
apiece for them. Soon afterward a
messenger at Easthampton, Conn.
bought forty l. cent Pan-American
stamps for 40 cents, discovered that the
central steamship vignette was invert-
ed and sold the lot for SGT9. These
freaks are steadily increasing in value.
When the war tax first went into ef-
feet, postage stamps were converted
into internal revenue stamps by print
ing 81. r." over the face in black let
tiers. a sheet of these of the cent de-
nomination had the surcharging in
verted and passed the inspectors by
some mistake. Today they are worth
81 apiece.
The printing of sheet of . cent ma
w department stamps in green instead
of blue ink was an act of carelessnes
which put some money in the pockets
of a number of people. These freaks
are now worth $40 apiece. \ similar
premium is commanded by stamps
which are imperfectly perforated.
pair of 21h centinternal revenue stamps
perforated only one way were recently
sold for 500.

almost wild. Thousands of women
have suffered in this way. uncom-

thousands are still suffering.
From the time they enter upon real

LONG DRAWN OUT
CASE IN COURT
Final Distribution OF Funds In
the Famous Dominlck-Tyler
Assign ment.

Final distribution of funds was or
dered Monday morning in probate
court in the famous Dominick Tyler as
signment, which has been in the courts
for six or seven years, and which has
given rise to more separate law suits
than perhaps any assignment that ever
was made In Stark county. Tyler be-
came involved in the panicBy times
following the financial furries OF 1893,
and after struggling along for several
years finally went to the wall. He was
accused and found guilty of fraud in
his business methods and served a
term in the penitentiary. His promi-
nence and the sensational disclosures
of his business methods added interest
to the case. There was wild scram-
BILE among creditors to save them
selves, and there was action after ac-
tion brought in the courts to set aside
conveyances and determine the prior
ity of liens. All that is required now
to settle the matter up is the filing of
the final account of the assignee after
the funds have been distributed, and
the entire matter will be a closed in
cident.

mers.

Alarming reports are coming in from
all over the country as to the effect
of the present cold spell upon the quail
1t is said that they are starving to
death for the reason that they cannot
reach the ground, the snow covering
everything up upon which they depend
for feed. Quail can stand almost any
amount of cold If they can reach the
ground, but when they are deprived
of food their vitality weakens and it
is often that entire focks are found
frozen to death.
Quail depend entirely upon the seeds
of the ragweed and fall grass for sus-
tenance in the winter time. with an
occasional feed from the corn fields of
some belated farmer who has not fin
,ished husking. When snow falls to
the depth it is now, the seeds are all
covered up and it is impossible for the
quail to get anything to eat They can
stand this condition of things for u
number of days, huddled up in some
sheltered place, but when the snow and
cold continues for weeks they are
frozen to death.
In some sections of the state. the
-sportsmen are taking the precaution
to feed the quail, scattering corn and
wheat in the sections that they fire.
quent. Many farmers do this. It is
said that the birds are coming into the
barnyards and to the feeding places
for sheep and cattle in order to secure
food. They become very tame and
fearless when suffering from hunger.
4, So far as heard from, Canton hunters
have made no effort to- send grain to
the haunts of the quail. Many of them
insist that the weather conditions so
far have not done them any material
harm.
Pheasants are not victims OF the
snow and cold like the quail. They
eat the buds from trees and bury
themselves under the snow to keep
warm Rabbits. 1t is said, being hard
pushed for somthing to eat, are Gre

the farmers are fearful lest they do
still greater damage If the weather
continues cold, especially among the
young fruit trees.
