The Stamp "Bloater."

When stamp collecting was in its in
fancy the most ardent and painstaking
collector was perfectly satisfied if he
could obtain a single specimen of a rare
stamp. But now, according to an au-
thority in the ConnOisseur. base and
degrading spirit of greed is manifesting
itself among the happy guild of philatel-
lists. Rich men have arisen in their
midst who 60 up and down the world
seeking for every specimen of single
rare stamp so that they may decorate
the pages of their albums with the os-
tentation of a monopOlist. We learn
that this wealthy specialist is regarded
as an enemy, and is dubbed by his out
ragged fellows Il ''bloater." But to the
sneers and the abuse of his fellows, the
wealthy specialist apparently turns a
deaf ear, and so the Philatelic Society of
London has been approached in order
that this public enemy may be brought
to "a proper sense Of his responsibilities.
Whether the bulls of the society, threat
ening communication and the like, will
have the power to eradicate one of the
strongest human attributes p'e are in
clined to doubt. A stamp is valuable on
ly. because of its rarity, and to possess
what none of ones fellows possesses is
the very life of collecting. Though it
may be regarded as Il selfish, and even
vulgar, spirit we are disposed to regard
it as the inevitable development of mod
ern cOllecting.-LOndOn Globe.

THE WORLD OF LIFE.

Before me is the Fastening world, a-sway
With moods and merriment aud thought
lessness-
For me is troubles own relentless way
Hinged with pain and lost in sorrow
stress:
A partner of the toilers, l address
My every thought to lifes old problem
gray,
who am fettered to a long duresse.
The hum of life is round about my ears
Rising and falling with a solemn swell
That beckOns TO my eyelids binding tears,
Sounding with every note the fatal knell
Condemning me to silence all my years
Abashed before the loud triumphant yell
OF this bacchante, and that satyr's jeers.
The burden of a tyrant do / hold
/ that am child within child's domain,
The servant of the ages that have rolled
Back to the rainbow shadow Of the rain;
Swayed by a despotsm as of old
bow before the regent. All in vain:
The word Is, Daughter, do as you are
told"
So ] am silent in a gale of fun
And all around me is life's diZZied whirl,
| gaze upon the pageant scarce begun
The airy fancies of some straying curl;
But | must bear my mothers youngest son
Created for the bane of hapless girl,
And see my pleasures dying-one by one.

The Crown Princess of SaxOny has
published written statement in Switzer-
land in which she declares she is very
happy, and cannot live without her
French lover, NJ. Giron. She says her
marriage was one of convenience merely.
and that there was no affection on either
side. She would like to marry Giron, but
she cannot as her husband is a very de
vout Catholic" while, she says, she is a
broad-minded Catholic. In her statement
she makes no reflection upon her hus-
bands character and conduct. They
simply did not and could not love each
other; therefore when she met Giron she
saw her fate and her better half She
intimates that her husband is so devout a
Catholic that he will never consent to the
dissolution of the marriage tie. 1t is pos
sible that the Crown Princess may drift
to the United States, and if she becomes
an actress she will draw a greater crowd
even than Mrs. Langtry.

the extraordinary prices charged for
coal are beginning to affect some of the
mills in the East. 1t is said that the adj
vance in price amounts to as much as
an increase of 10 per cent. in wages in
adding 10 the cost Of production. Btu
mjnous coal is selling at IS per ton whole
sale f. 0. b. at New Jersey tidewater
points. The cost of the best grades of
bituminous in the East is now $3.50 to
50 per ton above the quotations current
on the LIST of April last. That is seri-
Gus thing 10 manufacturers who have not
contracted ahead, but purchase their fuel
in the market as they need it. The pres
ent state of things can not go on long
without affecting the prices of manufac-
tured goods. Then what? 1t is to be
hoped that the shadow of the coal strike
of 1902 will not be blackly projected into
1908.

While we are shivering under the
sharp blasts of an arctic winter through
out the Northwest, it may be pertinent 10
add that ConstantinOple, which has been
distinguished for the mildness of its win
ter climate, is shivering under blizzard
of snow so extraordinary that it has in
terrupted travel by land and by sea. We
have been in the habit of reading current
events, and we have no previous recollec-
ton of such a snow storm at CONSTANT
nople. The severity of the atmosphere
is more keenly felt, because very few
people at Constantinople are provided
with fuel more than sufficient to prepare
their food. SO while we are anathema-
thizing our climate let it not be forgot
ten that the residents of Eastern Europe
near the renowned Bosphorus and Darda-
nelles are suffering even more sharply.
So let us remember our blessings and for
get our misforunes.

A Costly Experiment.

Our navy department is often charged
with being too conservative. The wis
dom of its course is sometimes demon
strated by the mistakes of others, like
the recent one. for example, of the
French marine department. Some bril-
liant mind suggested the experiment Of
aunching the Kleber fully equipped with
her military masts, guns engines and
boilers. The result has been, according
to the French service papers, that the
strand and the whole construction much
weakened.
