DEATH MASK STAMPS.
The Servian Issue Which Is in Demand
Among Collectors.


Among Collectors.
According to Belgrade correspond
ent, the publication of the story of
Queen Nathalies 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, says the
London Daily News.
In order to celebrate King Peters
coronation, the Servlan Government
decided to issue a series of large pos
tai labels bearing the new monarch's
portrait, beside that Of his ancestor,
Karageorge
The engraving was unfortunately
intrusted to Frenchman named Mou-
chon, a person, it is alleged, very
friendly toward Queen Nathalie, and
he very skillfully introduced into the
design for the new postage stamps the
CHASTITY features of the Queens muir
dered son, King Alexander
A vast number Of the coronation
stamps were issued to the public be-
fore 1t became known to the authorl-
ties that the new issue was regarded
by many Of King Peters superstitious
subjects as heavenly sign" that the
new monarch's reign was to be "brief
and bloody"
If one Of the new stamps be held
upside 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 mur-
dered monarch, the mustaches mako
the eyebrows and the eyebrow and
eye of Karageorge form King Alex.

The boy was 16 years old when the
police arrested him for some misde-
meanOr. He was sentenced to the
wOrkhOuse ON Blackwell's Island for
six months. His history, says the New
York Tribune, is typical of that OF
many youths who make the streets Of
New York their playground, and, if
left alone, would soon be too much
hardened ever to be redeemed.
Follow the progress Of this youth
sentenced to Blackwell's Island. On
his arrival he observed that he was
not ordered to don the suit Of bed
ticking" which the older men wore.
He was taken into a room resembling
a soldiers barrack room. Neat iron
beds lined the walls, and in the center
Of the room We're a number of tables
with books and papers.
When he went to his first meal in
this place he found that the tables
were set with better tableware than he
remembered to have eaten from before
There was a certain amount of Ell
Quette observed in eating the meal
That afternoon he learned that he WAS
to attend school. Whatever he had
picked up In the way Of learning had
been buried beneath the kind Of
knowledge that Is distributed in the
streets.
The schoOlWOm was cheerful
place, like Il classroom in the city, ex-
cept that it was SUMMER. There We're
about thirty young fellows in tho
room. Some of them were foreigners,
and unable to speak English. Among
those Of American parentage he found
that, like himself, there were few who
knew much beyond what they had
picked up In the streets.
A months time revealed to him
that he was among friends, and that
an effort was being made to give him
something Of value. Somehow be was
inspired to do better. Nearly every
member of his class displayed interest
III the work. One Or two, he heard,
when they went away, received a new
suit Of clothes, and were assisted in sc.

best. When his six months were fin
ished he also received a new suit Of
clothes, work was found for him, and
he has accomplished enough to en-
courage him to do better and to earn
the confidence OF those who employ
him.
Notwithstanding the compulsory ma
ture of the eschool, the authorities in
charge attribute the excellent results
to the friendly interest of the teachers
In the boys. to the custom of placing
them ION their honor" and to their
Interest in the work and in the library,
from which the boys can draw books
when they please. 1t Is seldom that
boy comes back to BlackwelPs a Sec

The only way to redeem college ath-
let1cs from the evils which now beset
them is to abolish the professionalism
associated with them and throw open
the grounds free to the public in all
exhibition games between the students
OF State institutions or those deriving
special privileges from the State when
the games are played on their respect
I've grounds. Whenever that is done
college athletics will be placed on ra-
donal grounds and emancipated from
all those Objectionable features which
now degrade them.

CAUGHT a SCHOOL OF FISH.
Entire Village Turned Out and Made
$4,000 in One Catch,

Entire Village Turned Out and Made
$4,000 in One Catch.
One day in November several years
ago the good people living on the Mas
sachusetts Bay shore at the end of
Cape Cod were wrought to the high
est pitch of excitement by the arrival
of an immense school of blacktish
which were on the fats chasing bait,
as the small fish they feed on are
called, and gradually working inshore.
The news spread like wildfire; village
stores We're hastily closed, schoolboys
deserted schoolrooms. and even women
fiocked to the shore. The flats along
the coast make out from half to a
mile and a half practically level and
almost dry at low tide. where at high
tide Is four to eight feet Of water.
No school of blackfish so large as this
had ever been heard of. And by good
luck the tide was ebbing.
Hastily the boats were launched,
each taking half dozen mon and
boys, those not rowing being armed
with stick and pieces of board. In a
quarter Of an hour they were in posi-
ton, in half circle and to leeward Of
the fish.
"Close in now" came from the com
modore," land make all the noise YOU
can!' And they did, fairly churning
the water with boards and sticks. The
thousands Of squid and herring on
which the blackfish were feeding as
sisted in this movement by getting
into shoal water as far as possible so
that the blackflsh could not follow
them. The result was inevitable, the
fast ebbing tide soon began to leave
the big fish in such shoal water that
1t was difficult for the larger ones to
swim. Gradually the circle of boats
drew nearer and nearer, and In two
hours 80 per cent of the entire school
were stranded on the fats. For weeks
after the villages were engaged In emf
ting up and trying out the oil. The
total catch netted some 5000, manv
of the fish weighing two tons apiece,

Few realize the enormous extent n
which the country depends for its nec-
essaries and luxuries upon tropical and
subtropical lands. The fact will be
brought home with force by the sta TO-
ment-based on the official import sra
tistics--that in the calendar year 1904
tropical products formed 43 per cent of
the total importations of the United
States. This includes products from
Hawaii and Porto Rico, but the ap.
gregate of $465, 600, 900 out of the total
imports Of $1,072, 100000 takes no &C
count of the subtropical products of
the South, and cotton, sugar, tobacco,
etc. Hence the import figures give only
a partial view OF the Importance of
these things in the daily life of the
people. Sugar and molasses form the
largest single group in the long list.
followed close by coffee, silk, fbers of
various sorts, rubber, fruits and nuts,
tobacco, tea, vegetable oils and gums,
cocoa and spices and the like.

Manuel Garcia, one Of the most re-
markable men in the world to-day, has
recently sat for his portrait to John
8. Sargent. Garcia is a Spanish singer
who visited the United States In 1898
with an opera company, and sang in
various parts of the country. The ia
NOUS singer, Madame Malibran. was
his sister. He returned to Europe and
taught Jenny Lind in Paris, and for
the past fifty years or Whereabouts has
been q music teacher in London. He
Is hundred years old, and Is still
teaching. He was professor of music
In the British Royal Academy of Music
until he was 80, when he retired to re-
ceive pupils privately. 1t Is believed
that the portrait which Sargent has
painted is the only one of a centena-
rlan In existence, and Garcia himself
Is probably the only person who ever
taught singing in his hundredth year

made by leading shoe manufacturer
that the women of the next generation
would have larger feet than the wom-
en- of this generation. He said there
was growing tendency among women
to buy shoes plenty large for their feet.
And that women are also asking for
thicker soles and lower and broader
heels. The casual observer must have
noted this tendency. Here and there
women cling to tight shoes, wafer soles
and perch themselves upon the silt Of
high and narrow heel. They do so
because some one sets the style. And
style, while it is the end of all con-
the canons of good sense and comfort.
The short-skirted street gown and the
natural waist are evidences. Men long
ago rebelled against skin-tight foot
wear. They no longer squeeze all the
blood out of their feet. Some of us
will remember time when mems fash
ions decreed the high-heeled, tight-fit-
ting boot that could only be removed
by an instrument known as the boot
jack" This antique taste still survives
with the western cowboy. The causes
for the new tendency in women's foot
wear are to be found in girls gymna-
Sums and in the modern physical
training of women. The girl of to-day
who takes long tramps to fill her lungs
and color her cheeks. or does her exer-
cises for physical development, does
not want her feet pinched and does
not care for the dignity of high heels.
She wants something substantial and
comfortable.

one wakes from a restless night more tired
than the night before; when one is forced to
drag through the round of daily duties with

good effects are felt after the first few doses.
