FACTS ABOUT STAMPS.

In 1869 there was a 15-cent stamp
issued which bore a picture OF the
landing Of Columbus.
A specialist who collected the
stamps Of France and her colonies re-
gently sold his collectlon for s11, 1000.

where are Ancash. Antofagasta, Apuri-
mac, Chiapa. Diego Suarez. Bamra,
Yea, Wadwhan. Goliad. Jhino. Ujong.
Faridkot, Nabba and Obock.
1t requires more than 40 large al
buns to house the collection Of United
States stamps owned by the earl OF
Crawford. This collection Of United
States stamps is thought to be the
most complete In existence.
The credit Of originating adhesive
stamps is generally given to James
Chalmers, OF Dundee. Scotland. He
first advocated them in 1887. and In
accordance with legislative enact
ment Of December 21, 1889, they we're
issued fer public use In England May

Ladies seldom rise in Spain to re-
ceive male visitor, and they rarely
accompany him to the door. For a
Spaniard to give lady-even his wife
his arm when out walking, is re-
garded as decided violation of pro-

Conspicuous among the adornments
of the bridal feast in Brittany is an
artistic and elaborate butter structure,
as fanciful and elegant as the most
beautiful bridal cake, and into this
structure the guests stick split sticks
bearing coins Of gold or silver.
A curious custom is observed in GER
tain districts of Spain in regard to be-
trothals. A young man who desires to
win the hand OF any girl calls on her
parents for three successive days at
the same hour of the day. On the last
occasion he leaves his walking stick,
and if he is looked on with favor by |
the maiden and her family the cane is
handed to him when he calls again.

ABOUT ANIMALS.

A coarse, rough-haired animal is
generally coarse-grained, sluggish and
inactive and many times is also slug
