Altering Stamps.

No change Or alteration Of any sort
should be made by a collector in his
stamps. 1t was Il custom some years
ago among collectors to erase cancella-
ton marks from their stamps in order
to make their stamps better. The eff
feet. of the attempt was not all that
could be desired. The ensures were
not perfect, and the stamps in the
changed condition. being neither can
ccled nor uncancelcd, were simply in
ferior damaged specimens. One of the
most common ways Of altering stamps
ut the present time Is to erase the word
specimen from a stamp having this
overprint. 1t cannot be done 80 that it
will not be detected, and the stamp In
the altered condition is worthless,
while ns a specimen" 1t had some
value. 1t has frequently happened that
stamps, valuable in their original con-
dition. have been made worthless by
attempts to increase their value by
alterati0n.-St. Nicholas.

THE SLY WEASEL.
How He Finally Trapped and Killed
q Monster Rat.

q Monster Rat.
A saWmill in an Iowa town was in
Tested with rats, which, being unmo-
Tested, became very numerous and bold
and played round the mill among the
men while they worked during the day.
But one day a weasel came upon the
scene and at once declared war on the
rats.
One by one the rats became victims
of the weaseI's superior strength until
OILY ono very large, strong fellow was
left of the ICE numerous colony. The
wca~el attacked the big rat several
times. but each time the rat proved
more than a match for his slender an
tagonist and chased the weasel to a
hiding place.
One day the weasel was seen bussly
digging under a lumber pile near the
mill. He was engaged for some time.
but la.cr appeared again in the mill,
seeking his old enemy. He soon found
him and at once renewed hostilities.
As usual, after a lively tussle, the rat
proved too much for him, and he ran,
pursued closely by the rat, straight to
the hole under the lumber pile.
He ran in, still followed by the rat,
almost Immediately reappeared round
the end Of the pile and again lodged
Into the hole behind the rat. Neither
was seen again for some time, but the
weasel finally reappeared, looking no
worse for the fight.
The curiosity Of the men in the mill
vas aroused, and they proceeded to In
Vestigate the hole under the lumber
pile. They found that the weasel had
dug the hole sufficiently large at the
tirst end to admit the rat, but had
gradually tapered it as he proceeded
until at the other end it barely allowed
his own slender body to pass.
When the rat chased him into the
large end of this underground funnel
he quickly slipped on through. and
while the rat was trying to squeeze his
large body into the smaller part Of the
hole the weasel lodged In behind him
and, catching him in the rear and in a
place where he could not turn round,
finished him Mt his leisure.

official news, are inclined to credit a
Hardin story published in Paris con-
Meeting the firing reported to have
been heard about seven miles south OF
Tie pass with General Rennenkampff's
division. The dispatch from Hardin
points out that the only explanation
of a cannonade in that locality is that
Rennenkampff has at length arrived
ut Tie pass, where the Russian armies
were ordered to rendezvous in case of
retreat, but only to find the place oc-
cupied Ivy the Japanese. Consequent
~ il is feared that Rennenkampf is
