FoiIinq a Speculative Philatelst.

In order to swell the Jamaica earth
quake fund in Barbados the governor
recently authorized the issue Of a spe-
cial I'd. stamp surcharged Kingston
Relief Fund. ID" with the idea that
the stamp should be used as an ordi-
nary penny stamp and that the fund
should benefit by the other penny. II
appears that inadvertently the inscrip-
ton on one sheet of these stamps was
printed upside down. A well known
philatelist Immediately bought up the
lot at the rate of As. each. The mo-
ment the governor heard Of it he or
dered that 5000 more should be struck
of. 1t is easy to imagine the chagrin
of the philatelist.-Reynolds Newspa'.

From overwork, I suffered several
years with malnutrition. palpitation

summer was led TO experiment per-
sonally with the new food, which
used in conjunction with good rich
cows milk. In a short time after
commenced its use. the disagreeable
symptoms disappeared. my hearts ac-

soundly and as we'll as In my youth.

Sleep and Old AGE

There is no question that the guam
tity of sleep required steadily dimin-
ishes from infancy to old age. This
is a rather interesting exception to
the general rule that, as in so many
matters, old age returns to the needs
of infancy. AS regards sleep, old age
is more remote in its needs from in
fancy than is any other period of life.
If elderly people obtain good sleep
during the first few hours, and if they
have not lost that delight in reading
which we all had in youth, but which
so many of us curiously lose, their
case is not to be grieved over. The
special value of the earliest hours OF
sleep, by the way, has been provided
by psychological experiment. The
popular phrase beauty sleep is well
warranted 1t is the early (the deep
est hours of sleep that make for
health and beauty.-Pall Mall Gaz.

either with or without lining, II be-
comes adapted to cotton and linen
fabrics quite as we'll as TO those Of
silk and wool. while again 1t suits
both the separate waist and the en-
tire frock, so that It's usefulness Is
exceptionally extensive. The trim
ming bands are distinctly novel and
chic, as we'll as becoming, to girlish
figures, and the little chemisette
gives that air OF daintiness and charm
that is always found In finish OF the
sort. IL made Of washable material
the bands could be OF any contrast
ing color or they can be made OF the
material itself finished with a little
soutache braid, while the chemisette
and the sleeve-bands can be either OF
embroidery or lace.
The waist Is made with fitted lin
ing and itself consists OF front and
backs. When lined the chemisette
is faced onto the foundation, but II
the lining Is omitted IL Is cut sep
arately and Joined to the waist. The
waist is tucked at its upper edge,
gathered at the waist line. and the
trimming is arranged over IL on indi-
Gated lines. The pretty sleeves are
OF moderate fulness and are finished
with becoming cuffs below. which are
straight bands.
The quantity OF material required
for the sixteen-year size is three
yards twenty-one, two and three
eighth yards twenty-seven or one and
three-fourth yards forty-four inches
wide, with one-half yard Of all-over
lace and three-fourth yard Of silk or
velvet for trimming.

Motor Boat on Pattern OF Snowshoe

A new form OF gliding boat has
been constructed In Paris by Leva'
vasseur. well-known motor manufac.
turer, and Lein. In It's main points
the new apparatus consists Of front
boat OF light and pointed construction
which contains the motor and It's ac'
cessories. Connected with the rear
OF the boat by a short, light wood
frame about two feet long is a large
fat construction in the form OF tail.
which extends for some thirty feet
back In the water.
The rear end OF the tail Is almost
submerged, while the front end, and
also the boat, appears TO float on the
surface and is almost lifted out OF
the water under the action OF the pro-
peller. The present system Is claimed
TO have the advantage OF a sliding
boat as well as those OF an ordinary
boat. that is, II Is able TO run In rough
water, at moderate speed. In calm
water II glldes very rapidly on thu

Old Prophecy in REGARD

By HENRI FREDERIC ANiIEL.
tEmiuent swiss Nriterl


The Americans are on the road tt
revolutionize these ideals by the in.
PRODUCTION OF the democratic princi.
pie OF the equality OF individuals in
general equality OF functions. In
this they are seeking To realize
higher social ideal. but the results
Will be disappointing ii not disas
trous, For when this principle o.
equality has been carried 10 its logi
cal conclusion. and there is nothins
left but a multitude of equal indi
viduals-neither young nor old.
neither men nor women, neither ben.
Gifted nor benefactors-a social diff
ference and distinction will turn up
on money. The whole hierarchy
will rest upon wealth: and as this
wealth must. through the operation
OF indiyidualism. necessarily be very
uneQually distributed. the inevitable
result of this passion for equality
will be. not what il. is seeking, but
the most hideous and most inhuman
OF inequalities. What a result. Plu.
tolatry-the worship OF wealth-the
madness of gold. To IL will then be
confided the task OF correcting false
principles and their followers. and
of shaping the destinies OF people.
But such a regime cannot be per-
manent. Since plutocracy always
rests upon inequality 1t is necessarily
at war with the principle OF equality
and one or the other must give way.
In this struggle IL is easy TO read the
fate OF plutocracy. The wealthy few
who constitute plutocracy can exist
only through the suffrance and sup
port OF the impecunious many, and
that support will be given only 50
long as it fails to comprehend its
burdens. When IL becomes fully
Cognizant Of the inequalities 10y
which il is burdened, it will with
draw and leave the principle oil
equality to again assert its sway by
tearing down and clearing away the
oppressive social fabric of Unequal
ity which has been erected by un'
bridled individualism while falsely
flying the flag of individual equality
The ideal equality will then be
sought in the opposite direction by
circumscribing the activities OF the
individual In an iron framework oi
