KINGS DEATH MASK STAMP
Emblem Of Servian Monarch's Coro-
nation Bears Features Of Muir
dered Sovereign.

The story Of a postage stamp and the
revenge of fallen queen is the one top
ic of conversation throughout Servia,
Bulgaria and Roumania, says the Lon
don Mail.
To commemorate King Peters cor
onation the servian government decided
to issue a Series of specially designed
postage stamps of considerable artistic
value and of large size. When the rough
design of the stamps, which were to
bear side by side the profile of King
Peter and his ancestor Kara George, was
approved, the final drawing and engrav-
ing were intrusted to a French artist,
NJ. Mouchon.
The result was admired by all. But
before the stamps had been in circula-
ton many weeks the government sud
denly called in all that remained unsold.
and made desperate efforts to collect
even single specimens in the hands of
private individuals For when the
stamp was held UPSIDE down there ap-
peared clearly to everyone the death
mask of the murdered King Alexander
Obrenovitch. The CHASTITY face of the
dead sovereign was made to appear by
the engraver cleverly manipulating the
eyebrows, the eyes and nose of the two
Karageargevitch profles.
King AleXanders distorted and mutt
lated face is formed by a portion Of
King Peters head with that of his an
cestor Kara George. The nostrils of the
two heads together form the eyes, the
mustaches make the eyebrows, and ths
eyebrow and eye of Kara George form
King AleXander's nose and mouth.
1t is asserted that the engraver was
inspired by ex-Queen Nathalie to fake"
the design and introduce the features OF
her murdered son.
The "death-mask stamps" as they
arc now called, have undoubtedly made
profound impression in the Servian
army and among the uneducated classes.
The government attempt to recall all
the stamps proved fruitless, as thou
sands have been used on letters, and a
vast number are held by private indi-
vidvals in Servia. The government has,
however, instructed it's agents in Lon
don, Paris and Berlin to visit stamp
dealers and SPECTATORS Nnd buy up as
many of the ill-omened postage labels
as possible, regardless of cost.

The Enplish servant.

The English servant requires to be
studied. The worlds other servants
are mere amateurs, the English serv.
ant has a trade. AS an American I
proceeded to treat mine a PAmeri-
caine, and made my first blunder.
A sensible American is, if not friends
with her servants, at least friendly.
The English woman, If she be sensi-
BILE, presents to her servants a surface
of perfect indifference, and then she
has peace, .or the English de5pise a
considerate and kindly mistress as not
knowing her place. The most difficult
thing for a stranger to learn Is that
impalpable line between the different
servants duties. If one does not
enumeTate what one expects of then
when they are hired, afterward 1t is
too late They have. however, a rough
sense of honor and they generally do
what they agree to.-Harpers Bazaar.

CHAPTER XvI.-CoNT1NUED

CHAPTER XVI.-CoNTINUED
Why, that girl was meant for the
open air and the sunshine, to sing, to
hove, to be happy, he thought. It is
an incongruous hardship that a trag-
edy like this should come into her
life. She is as out of place as a gay
soubrette in the family of Lady Mac
beth!
But when she spoke, when, encour-
aged by the ready tact of 7omas, she
was led to take part in Ike pleasant
conversation that ensued- Thomas had
expressly stipulated that 20 reference
should be made to the tIagedy-why,
then John Lamm could not restrain
his honest admiration and his cordial
sympathy. A creature at once so
frank, so free, so shy and so bold, so
modest and so reckless, in a breath
was enough to disarm the most severe
of critics. And the detective pro-
nounced her the beau ideal of an inno-
cent, miscellaneous, light-hearted girl,
not too shallow to love, but altogether
Zoo sunny to hate.
But. more than all, he noted the
Aalf-abashed, half-reverential air with
wb.ch she regarded her guardian
Thomas; and the peculiar solicitous,
respectful and protecting manner
which he exhibited toward her.
well, WE'LL" sighed Lamm, as he
walked away, there is one outcome
TO the North case which I feel per-
fectly safe in predicting at the present
time. These two people ara in love-
A curious match! To think that
Thomas should meet his fate under
such circumstances! Well, well! I
wish I felt so sure Of the rest as do
of them!"
And John Lamm hasiened back to
resume the dropped thread of the case
which was intensifying in interest
with every hour of investigation.
IF am right, he muttered, "I
shall soon find that Richard Fetridge
and that curious woman were in that
house together"
He wenC direct to his inner Office
and sat down at his desk.

himself fully possessed of the unfor-

this man during that day. The discov-

written In red on the wall of North's

only misfortune. The extraordinary
conduct Of his wife was quite as Sc
Eious to stNckhouse, not impossibly
more 80 than this implied accusation.
To be sure, these two conspicuous facts
seemed to be- part and parcel Of one
larger fact, and perhaps appeared TO Mr.,
Staclhouse's mind as one thing; but
the detective was altogether too eau
tious not to have seen that the letter
might refer to either one Of these calami-
ties. The problem in John Lamm's
mind, therefore, stood In this wise:

ONCE i'm while we hear elderly
people speak of ''tlle good old times"
1t would be more in keeping with the
truth to refer to them as ''the bad
old times" Why, scientific medical
treatment is, every year, adding to the
length of human life, and one may
now have his tooth pulled or his leg
sawed off practically without physical
pain. Time was when the person
brought low with smallpox had the
law of averages against him in the
matter of life and death, and those
who survived were generally badly
pitted by the disease. But the vacci-
nation of several generations seems
to have practically refined the disease
out of existence. There have been
hundreds OF cases Of smallpox in this
state every winter for several years,
but seldom is there a death. Right
here Ina EmmoDs county there has
been number of cases this winter,
but the patients have not been as
sick as those who had la grippe. Here
i'm Linton at the present time there
are three cases of the disease, and,
while the patients have been isolated
by quarantine, not one of them is
sick enough to go to bed.' Small
pox, as dangerous disease, seems to
have run its race.
