The postal authorities of the Neither lands are inaugurating an innovation that 1t is not unlikely will be adopted by other countries in the postal union, to-wit: carrying a stock of the stamps of other countries of the value of cents, the de- nomination of the stamp required to frank letters from one country to another. There is great need of universal postage stamp of the value of 5 cents At present a citizen of the United States cannot write to a person in England and enclose reply postage because the cent United States stamp would not be available for postage In England. Thus far 1t has been impos- slble to arrange for this universal stamp because of the slight difference In mone- tary standards of the various countries. This may be worked out later but the Dutch government is going a long way toward solving the problem by carrying in stock the cent stamps of the United States, the 2h penny stamps of Great Britain, the 20 pfennig stamps of Ger many, the 25 centimes stamps of France. etc. Thus a person in Netherlands writing to a man In this country will be able to enclose cent stamp to frank the reply desired. Following this plan the United States would carry on sale at its lead ing offices the stamps of England, Ger many, France, Netherlands etc, of the value corresponding to our cent stamp. It is probable the matter will be brought to the attention of the United States pos tai authorities and a small appropriation may be set aside for the purchase of stamps for this purpose. Once made the appropriation would never have to be renewed as the revenue from the sale of these stamps would always buy additional supplies.

Love Letter Seven Centuries Old.

Paris Cable to London News.
 While carrying out some work of re- storation at the church of St. Peter Mont marte, M Saubageot, the diocesan archi- tect has discovered a love letter 700 years old. Along with 1t were withered branch of box-wood and piece of enamelled glass. When the difficult Gothic charac- ters were deciphered 1t was seen to be letter from one John Gisorn. protesting his love for Alice de Lis1e: but at the same time swearing he had received no proofs of love in return. The letter was probably written in the thirteenth century and will be deposited in the Paris museum.

Il be planned for.
 Obock is a French possession on the Red sea and 1t is reported that it's capital city is a village of huts. It is neverthe- less civilized enough to have postage stamps as witness eighty-two different varieties during the years 1892, 1893, 1894.
 The Earl of Crawford is adding to his laurels by calling at the islands of Tristan da Cunha in the capacity of mail carrier. One thousand miles west of Capt of Good Hope, isolated as they are, the barely one hundred inhabitants of this group of islands will appreciate the favor done them.
 It looks as if John P. Green, United States postage stamp agent will be minus job one of these days, the recent reor- ganzation of the postoffice department leaving nothing for him to do. When the next appropriation is made there will be no salary in it for stamp agent. That work in future will be under the stamp division.
 The public is warned against writing anything except the address the face of pictorial cards intended for parties in the Netherlands. The Dutch postal law provides that in case there Is writing on the face of the card the recipient Is fined in the sum of six cents, our money The card with writing on the face Is regarded as a letter underpaid and the rule of assessing double postage applies The same rule also applies If the words Post Card are not printed on the face.
 There appears to be considerable dis cussion over the question of change of color of the current 10 cent stamp. 1t having been contended on the one hand that a noticeable change has been made, and on the other hand that the change referred to applies to the cent stamp rather than the 10. Your correspondent has been shown this week copies of the 10 cent stamp received by dealer in one days mail in which two distinct shades are easily seen. Inquiry at the postoffce elicts the statement that the 10 cent stamps now being received are much lighter in color than those used up to within couple of months. It is stated that this change was made on the order
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-12-10

of the chief of the stamp division. It Is also stated that the brown of the cents was made slightly darker, although the difference does not appear to be so mark ed as in the case of the 10 cents.

one night waiting for a train in a
depot hotel in small Missouri town.
The landlady was the only woman
present.
The talk turning upon the alleged
inability Of women to see the point OF
a joke as readily as do the men, Mr.,
Bryan took the ground that IA sense OF
humor was rs much part of the fem

but that it merely lacked opportunity
for development.
"To illustrate, " said he, take the
story of party of eXcursionlsts in

the Grecian coast the party assembled
about the rails to enjoy the beautiful
scenery. One lady turned inquiringly

Cleveland On WOmcn's Votes.

Grover Cleveland in an article pub
lished in The Ladies' Home journal
entitled "Wuuld Woman Suffrage BE
Unwise?" gives reasons for believing
that politics is not for women.
"a few years ago, y he writes, 1.-THE
question of allowing municipal sull
rage in Massachusetts to women was
submitted to all the voters Of that
state who we're eligible to vote for
school committees. The number Of
women ut that time qualified to regis
ter and ballot on the question was
about j75, GOO. OF these, moro than
800. 600 declined to vote. There were
/ tuwns in which not one woman 5
ballot was cast in the affirmative.
81 think 20 states which refuse to
women all other suffrage privileges
permit them to vote for school officers,
| either without restriction or under
certain conditions. 1t Is alleged,
however, that the number who avail
themselves of this privilege is com
monty very small.
at is sometimes claimed that wo-
man suffrage would have the effect of
eleyating and roling politics. Moth
or its short trial in four states, con
tanning in the aggregate a population
very slightly in excess of One-third the
population of the City of Now York,
nor our political experience or obser.
vation supports this claim.
'lhe states in which full female
suffrage prevails are Colorado, Utah,
lGaho aud Wyoming. In the first two
of these states the proportion of female
voters il considerably greater than in
the others, and yet the voters of Utah
have lately elected through their Leg
| islature to the United States Senate a
man whose fitness is now the subject
Of pending Senatorial Investigation,
and not long ago they elected tC
Congress another man whom that
body rejected,
"Of the four states permitting full
woman suffrage Colorado should Ger.
tainly be regarded alTordimg the
best illustration of its results.
LESS than two years ago "A memheI
of the House of Representatives from
that state holding his place hy virtue
Of an apparent majority of the direct
votes of the men and women of his
district, resigned his seat for the roa
son, us he openly declared, that
fraudulent votes had been cast fol
him in the election, An investigation
of the case by IA Congressional com
mitto developed the fact that some ot
the most glaring frauds were commit
ted 10y women.
81 have som otimes wondered If the
roully good women who ARE inclined
to npproSe this doctrine of female
suffrage arc not deludinE themselves

subject.

VAN RUREN,s ANSWERS.

One day the merits of Van Buren were being discussed by party of politicians on a Hudson river steasn- boat. One of the part had been dwelg- ing on his nonconim:tta!ism and com plaining that a plain answer b a plain question was elicited from hirn.
 "Itli wager dinners for the conl- paEy," added he, that If one os l.s shall go down to the cabin and ask Van BIren tho simplest question that can be thought ct he will evadc a; Gis rect answer. Yes. and IT give you leave, too, to teii Van Buren why you ask the question, and that there is 3. bet depending on the reply"
 This seemed fair enough. One of the party was deputed to go down and try the experiment.,
 He found Van Buren, whom he knew well, in the saloon and said:
 MT. Van Buren, some gentlemen on the upper deck have been accusing you of noncommittalism and have just laid a wager that you would not give a plain answer to the simplest question, and they deputed me to test the fact. Now, sir, allow me to ask you, Where does the sun riser"
 MT. Van Buren's brow contracted; he hesitated a. moment, then said:
 "The terms east and west are con- wentional, but
 "ThatH do," interrupted the inter- rogator. "We have lost the bet!

Er.SON,S DESCENT.

Was Nelson of Scandinavian descent? There can be little doubt about it, for the three general reasons that the name is distinciviely Danish, that the popu- lation of East Anglia contains a large admixture of Scandinavian blood, and that if there. is any truth in heredity the blood of the Vikings seemed to have been transmitted to the veins of our greatest war sailor, Nelson's En- glish biographers do not lay stress on the fact, but the Danes consoled themselves for their naval defeat at Copenhagen with the reflection that

the circumstances of the mo- ment, that at once compelled attention and aroused no suspicious. When America, through the mouth of her President, declared that the sole basis of her proposals was the feeling that "the progress of the world is being set back by the war between these two great Nations" America was be- lieved. There was no disposition either in Tokio or St. Petersburg to
 regard her activity as a possible trap or as a screen for the furtherance of ends of her own. The Presidents di-

that international authority which MT. Roosevelt has won for himself. The response which his proposals met with from the belligerents themselves and from the whole world of onlookers gave the measure of Mr. Roosevelt's standing in the opinions of his con- temporaries.' It was in it's way tribute in the field of international politics to the virtue of character.
 But besides being this it was also 8 token of the confidence which is every where felt in the intentions and policy of the United States Her interven- tion was the only intervention, under

and spaciousness from the conviction
 that is was untainted by self seeking, and that its motive power was to be sought not in mere policy, not in d cold and exclusive study of purely
 National interests, but in broad and genuine humanitarian. For the
 prevalence of that conviction, which gave him precisely the assistance he needed, and gave it to him just when he most needed it, Mir. Roosevelt had to thank all American history. There
 was implied in his success an ac- acknowledgement of the moral position which America holds among the Ma |tions of the world Sidney Brooks in
