Back in 1851 there were two types of
the one-cent stamp printed in the United
States. Both were from the same plates,
but the difference was shown in the
printing. In one type there were little
scrolls showing plainly at the bottom of
the design, but careless printing on the
later stamps failed to bring this part

good figure.

Military Organization To Police
And Protect Jamestown
Exposition.

As the jamestown Exposition period
draws near preparations are being made
for every line of work and duty. In the
military and police work will be the Po-
cahontas Guards, an organization similar
to the Columbia Guards at the Chicago
Exposition, whose duty it will be to police
and protect Exposition properly and to
guard and direct Exposition visitors.
Captain Henry w. Carpenter, of the
United States Marine Corps, who will
command the Pocahontas Guards, has
established headquarters at the Jamestown
Exposition headquarters. in the Atlantic
building. He will soon begin the organ
ization of the Pocahontas Guards, to serve
until after the close of the Exposition.
Captain Carpenter will select his guards
from among young men of Virginia and
states nearby, who have had military
training in college or active service.
Strict military discipline will be enforced,
as in the regular service. The Guards
will perform the duties of soldiers and
police. They will be handsomely uni
formed and will be organized into COM
panies. They will be quartered in bar
racks on the Exposition grounds and will
be on duty at the different buildings and
social functions and wherever their ser.
vices may be needed.
Young men of the proper qualifications
may apply to Capt. Henry w. Carpenter,
Commandaut of the Pocahontas Guards,
jamestown Exposition, Norfolk. Va.
Their application will be filed and con-
sidered as soon as work of organization
of the Pocahontas Guards is determined
upon.

VANISHED TREASURES.
Masterpieces of Art That Are Lost
to the World.

Masterpieces of Art That Are Lost
to the World.
The Venus de Milo" which has been
in the Louvre for many years Is, as all
the world knows, an imperfect piece OF
sculpture, though it is the greatest
treasure of Its kind the world has ever
seen. A great reward would be given
the man who could find the missing
parts. About 1878 the most important
of them-the right arm-came to light
In London and was proved by experts
TO- be genuine. The owner, however,
refused to part with it and concealed
it for fear it would be stolen. Unfor-
tunately he died without revealing Its
hiding place, so it is as much lost as
ever.
A bronze drinking cup which was
stolen from an Egyptian temple in
1879 and brought to Europe has mirac-
ulously disappeared. On it is engraved
the whole history Of the PhAraohs, and
it could easily be sold for 100000. In
fact, the French government offered a
reward of $4,000 for its discovery, but
the famous cup has vanished, probably
forever.
Another treasure which has vanished
in as strange way Is the Marcella
vase of the Dresden collection. This
is the only piece missing from the ia
nous Dresden Marcella collection, the
value of which is said to be $4,000.
1t bears the cross arrows and the lions
head. Not long ago the vase was said
to be In England, but, be that as 1t
may, the person who rediscovers this
treasure may command any price in
reason for it.
How it is possible that treasure SO
large as painting could be lost sight
of entirely is not easily explained, but
this has often happened. One Of Reyn-
olds' paintings, Countess Of Derby"
which is considered his best portrait,
has disappeared. Not long after 1t
was painted it disappeared from the
collection of the Earl Of Derby and
has never been heard Of since, though
it would bring $15O,O0O to the finder
There are also two Vandykes and a
Rembrandt missing, for which collect
ors are willing to pay 100000. The
Earl of Crewe would give large sum
for the return Of Cupid which some
vandal cut from the portrait of the for
mer Countess of Crewe and her son,
who was painted as the sprite. = st.

THE STAGE KISS.
1t Tests the Genius OF the Actor and
the Actress.

1t Tests the Genius OF the Actor and
the Actress.
The stage kiss is important. There
is nothing which so tests the genius of
an actor and an actress as the ability
under just such circumstances to pro-
duce the illusion of love. On the stage
it is necessary for them to forget their
own personalities, to smother their
own feelings, one for the other, and in
the place of the warped though genu-
inc kiss we see at the railroad station
and the steamship wharf present to
our eyes by the magic Of their acting a
highly artificial product.
And this highly artificial product, be-
cause it is art and because it Is pro-
duced by art, impresses us as real and
genuine where the actually real and
genuine would have filed us only with
derision and contempt, just as real
tears on the stage would fall to move
us. Indeed, the best stage kisses; the
kisses that are most convincing In the
way of realism, are usually given and
received by actors and actresses whose
feeling for each other In private life Is,
to say the least, Indifferent. Frequent
ly, if audiences only knew, they watch
lovemaking ON the stage between men
and women who are literally at dag
gers points with each other.
would not go SO far as to say that
such state of feeling always contrib
utes to good stage lovemaking and to
realistic stage kissing, but do know
that it is an automatic truth, recog-
nized by theatrical managers every
where, not to engage playfolk lovers
to enact similar roles in drama If it
is at all possible to get any one else
