Mistakes in Stamps.

BY a simple error in the printing OF a
set of stamps the value is enormously
increased to collectors. A short time
ago Dutch stamp was printed yellow
instead of blue. A week later these
stamps were sold at great premium.
A New Zealand stamp some years ago
was printed upside down, and It is now
worth a large sum. Among English
stamps the old red penny, with the plate
No. 255, is valued by collectors, and the
small pink halfpenny, with plate No. 9,
is not worth less than $50. It's said that
the plate of the latter was broken soon
after it came into use and vas never re-
placed, hence the value a the few
stamps printed from it. 1t is always
question with amateurs whether to buy
their stamps used or unused. But it is
safe on a great occasion, such as the
Jubilee or Exposition year, to buy them
with the postmark.

1t was rather an unusual proposition
the architects sought to solve. 1t re-
solved itself into a question of sky

contains two chapels, score OF Sunday

Broadway Tabernacle believes in being

Mr.. Jefferson calls it an assembly hall,

really is-a stage with foot-lights and
lights around the proscenium arch, stage
entrances, dressing rooms, an elevated
floor in the amphitheater which slopes
down to the orchestra pit in true stage
fashion, boxes either side the stage and
with a seating capacity of 600.
1t is bound to be popular, because it's
free. THAT is" Mr.. Jefferson inter-
poses, "for any good cause"
The pastor has long felt the necessity
for a place where new movements could
be started or old ones bolstered up, "al-
ways providing the object is good" he
reiterates.

accepted, and for year or two taught

An element of romance enters into
Prof. jerks life at Mt. Morris, for it
vas there that he met and married Miss

Prof. jerks is a hard worker. In
addition to his lectures and class room
work in connection with his professor
ship at Cornell. he has served with dis
tinction and ability as expert agent OF
the United States on the industrial COM
mission appointed to investigate trusts
and industrial combinations in the
United State, and Europe, and he has
been the consulting expert of the United

partment Of labor. In 1902 he was on
4 special commission appointed by the
war department to investigate the ques-
ton Of currency, labor. internal taxa
ton and police in the orient.
The prospective new head of North
western is also an author. His best
known book is The Trust Problem, -
issued in 1901 and revised in 1903. He
has compiled and edited various govern
ment works on economic and industrial
subjects, and is also frequent cortribu-
tor to periodical literature on economic
and political questions.
The nearly Is years which Prof.

which it will be hard for him to break,
if he should decide to accept the call OF
Northwestern university to become its
president.
