DEATH MASK STAMPS.
The seryfan Issue Which Is In De-
 mand Among Collectors.

According to a Belgrade correspond ent. the publication of the story of Queen Natalie's intrigue to revenge herself on Servia followed by the sud den withdrawal by the postal authori- ties of all the new coronation stamps, is the sole topic of conversation throughout the Balkan states.
 In order to celebrate King Peters coronation the Servfan government de cided to issue series of large postal labels bearing the new monarch's DOT trait beside that of his ancestor Kara george
 The engraving was unfortunately in trusted to a Frenchman named Mou- chon. person, 1t is alleged, very friendly toward queen Natalie, and he very skillfully introduced into the de sign for the new postage stamps the ghastly features of the queens murder ed son. King Alexander.
 4 vast number of the coronation stamps were issued to the public before il became known to the authorities that the new issue was regarded by many of King Peters superstitious subjects as heavenly sign" that the new monarchs reign was to be brief and bloody.
 If one of the new stamps be held up side down the unmistakable death mask of King Alexander may be seen, formed by portion of King Peters head with that of his ancestor, Kara george. The nostrils of the two heads together form the eyes of the murder. cd monarch. the mustaches make the eyebrows, and the eyebrow and eye of Karageorge form King Alexander's nose and mouth.
 The death mask stamps as the new issue has become known, have un- doubtedly made a great impression iD the army and among the uneducated classes
 .'I learn on the best authority" con clndes the correspondent, that the government is making desperate efforts to buy up as many of the dangerous labels as possible and is even sending agents abroad to France Germany and England to secure them at any cost from speculators and foreign stamp dea lers London News

The Earfh's Internal Heat.

Whether the internal heat of the earth was in the first place due to the presence of radio active matter or to other causes is a very debatable ques- tion. for the answer involves eonsidera tions Of the origin of the earth as q member of the solar system. Whatever view may be taken of this problem, there can he no doubt that the diseov- cry of the distribution of radio active matter ii the earth throws grave doubt on the validity of those calculations of the age of the earth which are based on the assumption that il is a simple cooling body and tends to show that the present internal heat will be main tained for much longer interval than was it first supposed.
 On this theory of the maintenance of the internal heat no definite limit can be set for the age of the earth, but some deductions can be made of the probable variation of the internal heat within time Professor Ernest Ruther ford in Harper's Magazine.

A FAMILY CREST.
Procure One at once if Ton Want 10
 Re In the Swim

Any man or woman who pretends to be anything in society now sports a family crest One may or may not have had forbears, but the crest is no lon ger an insignia of blue blood. It can be secured for q price. and as the American usually carries any fad to excess he now outcrests the titled families of the old world.
 He has 1t stamped on his cigarette paper as well as his stationery. His wife has it woven into her table linen. The head of his stable orders it in metal on the harness as well as in the lacquer on the carriage door It stares at the general public from his lap robe. His son has it stamped on his seal ring. and his daughter, if she takes up the craze for tattooing has it indelibly marked on her anatomy. But the erOwning inconsistency of the modern use of q crest Is the distribution of dinner favors bearing the crest not of tine recipient, but of the hostess.
 A man of millions who recently re furnished his library had the crest hammered into the brass frieze of the fireplace. and wholly improbable pair Of animals copied from this same crest furnished the supports for the and irons. Little Master Millions is sent forth for his daily walk with the fam fly crest embroidered on his sleeve. where the child of the common people has some small navy CT army design on his S4 9s reefer Crests on hand kerchiefs are by no means uncommon. and here the work is done in the most exquisite of convent embroidery My lady's writing desk is equipped with brass or copper furnishings hammered in the pattern of her crest.
 Entire sets of tableware, including gold and silver plate and the most beautiful of glazed china. are done to order that their owner may exploit the family crest Just at present there seems absolutely no limit to the meth ods for flashing ones crests on less for tunate fellow men.
 One well known bachelor who Is ex- tremely proud of his crest has novel pipe rack. The back Aground is whole calfskin. in the center of which is burned his crest, and this is surround ed by pipe racks holding smoking equipment from every corner of the globe.
 He who has not family crest or the price thereof may employ substitute If he happens to be fin college. Here an insignia of his chosen fraternity takes the place of his family crest, adorning the furnishings of his room, his sta f1onery and his cigarette paper, to say nothing of his jewelry.-Cor Washing fou Star

Led All the Guests.

In the days of King George III. of England the Persian ambassador to his court demanded. but was denied. prece dence over all other foreign representa- tives. He refused to go to court caus- ing il to be reported abroad that he was ill. He met the prince regent at the house of the Lady Salisbury of the time. T am very sorry to offend your royal highness by not going 10 court" he said. Now. sir, my sovereign, he tell me I go first; your people say l must go last Now, this very bad for me when l go back 10 Persia" So say ing, he made significant pass toward his head expressing decapitation. The prince tried to appease him. But, sir, you still angry with me You have not invited me 10 your party tomorrow night" The prince explained that it was only a children's party, but the ambassador might come if he chose He did choose for he went and, being the only ambassador there, led all the guests, thus scoring heavily for Persia. which made him comfortable about the neck again.

HIssinR In the Thenfer.

Formerly there was no hissing in the theater. The benevolent audience were content to yawn and fall asleep The invention of hissing is no older than 1880 and took place at the first repre- sentation of "Aspar," a tragedy of Fontenelle, so we are told by the poet Roi in his "Brevet de Ia Calotte" A farce was produced in Bannisters time under the title of Fire and Water" II predict its fate" said Bannister.
