FACTS ABOUT STAMPS.

"A specialist who collected tho
stamps of France and her colonies re.
Gently sold his collection for $11, 900.
1t takes a stamp collector to tell
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 1897, and in
accordance with legislative enact
ment Of December 81, 1889, they were
issued for public use in England May

OF any chain is In the strength OF Its
links. Every one of you has read with
delight Kiplins's wonderful Jungle
Books. Do you; not remember the
Law Of the Jungle?'
Perhaps you will look it up, not
that am comparing you for minute
to the wolves and bears and wild
creatures of the jungle. But there are
few days in my life when I do not see
in home life, in town life, and wher-
ever else people live in communities,
that Kipling put great truth into
the stanza am about to quote: <"'~,
Nov this is the law of the jungle
as old and as true as the sky;
And the wolf that shall keep it may
prosper, but the wolf that shall
break it must die.
AS the creeper that girdles the tree
trunk the law runneth forward
and back
For the strength of the pack is the
wolf, and the strength of the
wolf is the pack
I think / will make a parody of this
for you, with apologies to Mr.. Kip
ling:
Now this is the law of the school,
room-as old and as true as the
sun;
And the students who keep it sha-
prosper, for the tasks of their
days will be done.
The law runneth onward forever, as
swiftly the happy years pass,
The strength If the class is the girl,
and the strength of the girl is
the class.
Schools set their stamp on their pu-
pills so that one may almost tell at a
glance by certain slight characteristics
or certain more definite ones, from
which school girl has been gradual

land puts it's own hallmark on its
graduates, the preparatory school
stamps it's pupils for all time
Girls in the formative period of their
lives come beneath the moulding hand
and the vitalizing influence of a teach
er's personality. Insensibly, they take
on something they would never have
had but for her. Years ago, in New
York city, there was principal who
presided over what was known as the
Twelfth street grammar school. To
this day Miss Wadleigh's pupils bear
something of her strong and beautiful
character in their faces and lives.
Mount Holyoke college will carry for
all time the impression made by its
great founder, Mary Lyon. In a
southern city there is a famous school
where young women have for years
been trained to great usefulness. Mary
Baldwin is no longer on earth, but the
Mary Baldwin school will be hers for
generations.
These are the thoughts that come to
me as look on class photograph.

Ice water should be taken as seldom

WOOL INDUSTRY.

The production and imports Of
wool duIing recent years IS
shown by our sheep census, and
the various prices of wool. will
show more clearly than any ex-
planation can convey, the bene-
fits OF protection.
Free wool has been made the
special issue by free traders for
many years. After various at
tempts were made we were given
a tariff in 1894 that carried ia its
schedules free wool to our man
ufacturers. The result was that
the sheep were killed, farmers
could not get profitable prices
for their wool; and during the
operation of that tariff we i'm
ported from abroad over 500, =
900, 600 pounds of wool. dispiac-
ing, to that extent the American
production.
Our manufacturers had free
material, and yet many of these
mills were closed or running on
half time, thei: hands were idle
and dividends were not declared.
We are now recovering from the
disastrous effect which followed
to both manufacturer and sheep
raiser by the free tariff on wool
which was in operation from
1894 to 1897. l..

FACTS WORTH CONSIDERING

Since the effect of a protective
tariff has again become thor
oughly distributed, production
has been uuequalled; its value
has reached the highest figure
yet attained; the value of the
Farmers National surplus still
maintains the magnitude that has
built I'D the balance of trade by
successive additions for many
years to change the nation from
a borrower into a lender.
The unprecedented savings
have embarrassed farmers and
Others to find investments until
the savings banks of the East
have become over supplied with
Increased holdings of the peoples
savings. The farms of the
country have increased in value
to a fabulous extent. Farm crops
have never before been harvested
at such high general production
and value. The partial failure
OF two or three second class crops
makes no apparent impression
upon the great aggregate of all
crops. The increased surplus
which has steadily been accumu-
lating for the last several years
and the investment of the same
is primarily the reason for the in
creased improvement and devel-
opment of the country every
where.
A change in the existing
policy Ct the Government to
law providing "tariff for rev.
euue," Hfree wool" aud other
changes along these lines would
transform as it by magic the ex-
listing development and prosper
ity to 'soup houses" closed fac

tious Of this country as iustauccd
