STAMPS FOR WALL PAPER
Unique Decorations Of Homes In China
and How They Are
Obtained.
Boston Transcript.

.
Boston Transcript.
+ Roman Catholic missionaries in China
have a unique plan for securing rice and
other commodities for use in the orphan
asylums and other charitable institutions
conducted by them in the orient. It has
never occurred to any one in the United
States, perhaps but old postage stamps are
available for use as wall paper, but the
China man discovered it years ago The
postage stamp has already appealed to the
Chinaman as an artistic creation The
coloring and engraving have attracted his
eye, and long ago the Celestials began ap-
plying to the missionaries for the stamps
which they noticed on the mail sent them
from the United States and other coun-
tries.
Many years ago when the missionaries
were badly in need of funds to carry on
their work, the priests evolved plan to
secure rice and other products of the Chi
nese farmer without an exchange Of
money. The Chinaman, previous to this,
had been a collector of postage stamps,
and several enterprising Celestrials had
collected a sufficient number Of stamps
for the papering Of the walls Of their small
houses. The stamps were soaked so that
all the paper usually attached to them
from their contact with the envelopes was
removed, and by a chemical process the
ink made by the postmark was almost
obliterated. The missionaries knew that
there were vast quantities Of these can
celed stamps in the United States which
were thrown away. A plan to exchange
them for food was originated and pastors
in this country we're notified. Immediate
~ the priests in various cities began saw
ing the stamps and the scheme was a sue
cess. It has been in operation ever since
The stamps are collected in every parish
and once every year they are forwarded
to the headquarters of the Catholic mis-.
sionary societies at Notre Dame, Ind. The
stamps are packed in cloth sacks, and
when a large quantity has been secured
it is sent by freight to China. Last yeal
the pastors in the many cities in the Unit
ed States were so Industrious that stamp
sufficient to fill an ordinary freight ca,
were collected and sent to Notre Dame
There were millions Of Cancelled stamps il
this car, and their arrival in the orier1
gladdened the hearts of the missionaries
for the Cinnamon will take all they car
get. Tt is not an uncommon sight il
China these days to see Chinese resi-
dence decorated thruout with American
postage stamps. Every stamp counts

No ABSOLUTE ACCURACY
I. G. Powers Says Difficulties in Col:
lection Of Statistics Are
Very Bright.
Cincinnati Price Current

L. G. Powers, of the census office, in discuss
ing the efforts made by the census officers to
avoid Implications In public expenditures in the
states, said that the results Of collections of
were In excess Of the facts in spite OF
all that had been done to make them accurate.
They had succeeded in improving their methods,
though they had not been perfected. He did not
think it possible to secure absolutely accurate
results in that respect.
In discussion concerning methods for get
ing rates of wages of workmen from labor or
CARNATIONS, Carroll D. Wright said that in his
department they could collect statistics from
wage earners by means of agents visiting the
homes of the men. 1t had been found that the
men are inclined to give a report of wages as
low as possible, while their wives are inclined
to make the amount as large possible. This
resulted from the fact that the men wish tc
make as small showing as possible, while the
wife likes to make it appear that her husband
is doing as we'll as possible. It was also found
that the men who get very low wages are more
inclined to give the facts than the man getting
more money. That was found to be the case
