CANADA'S CHRISTMAS STAMP.
The Only Known Postal Memorial of
the December HoIidav

The Only Known Postal Memorial Of
the December Holiday.
Stamp collectors say that the great
est Christmas gift ever made was a
, postage stamp of the value of 2 cents.
On Christmas. 1898, Great Britain pre-
sented to all her thirty-seven colonies
Christmas gift in the form Of two
cent letter postage in place of the rate
Of 5 cents, which for decades had ex-
listed.
In honor of this event Canada placed
on sale on Christmas morning, 1898, q
Christmas postage stamp, the only
stamp Of the kind ever issued by any
country. In many respects it is unique
among oil postage stamps.
It was larger than our Columbian
stamps and showed a map Of the world
with the possessions Of the British en-
pire printed in bright scarlet The
oceans appeared in a blush green and
the frame of the design In black.
Across the top was the inscription
Canada Postage" with crown rest
ing ON laurel leaves tucked in between
the words. At the extreme lower part
OF the design is the declaration, I'VE
hold vaster empire than has been:"
above this. Xmas, $685." and figure
"2'' in each lower corner.
1t Is worthy of note that this Cana
dian stamp was printed by a bank
note company in the United States. 1t
marked a new epoch in stamp produc-
ton, having three colors. Bicolored
stamps are not uncommon, but up to
that time no country had ever attempt
ed three color stamp.
This Christmas stamp was probably
the most expensive ever issued, cost
ing the Canadian government four
times as much as the ordinary single
color stamp. Although issued on Christ
mas, 1893. the stamps availability for
postage uses is unlimited.-New York

and young friends to go to the valley,

4 Bunker nm Gun.


Alonzo Smith of Skowhegan has an
old gun which was used in the battle
of Bunker Hill, 131 years ago. Many
who fought on the American side on
that 18th day of June afterward came
to Maine to settle, among them Biley
Smith, private in the Second New
Hampshire regiment. Mr.. Smith, the
great grandfather Of Alonzo Smith of
Skowhegan settled In Cornville in 1870
and his grave is IN the orchard on a
farm near where his grandson, Clark
E. Smith, now lives. The musket
which Biley Smith carried at Bunker
Hill was among his effects brought
to Cornville, and on his death passed
into the hands Of his son, David. and
was by him bequeathed to his grand
son, Sylvester Smith. A few years
ago, when Sylvester left for the west,
he gave the famous old musket to
Alonzo Smith Of Skowhegan. who now
treasures 1t as a family heirloom. One
remark made by Biley Smith. In relat.
ing his experiences at Bunker Hill,
has been handed down to his descend.
ants to the effect that he felt some re.
pugnance ut first in shooting at the
redcoats as they came up the slope
but after the first few shots he could
as easily take aim at a British officer
as he could at partridge. The gun
itself is in working order barring the
loss OF the flint, and could be easily
reequipped for actual use.--KennebeG

Mental Medicine,

A somewhat eccentric physician who
recently died would order patients to
take walks, say, daily, on the left side
OF the street, returning by tho other
side; another he would order to arise
each morning at a certain hour and
eat cheese with ginger beer; another
to take supper precisely at midnight.
and eat only apples; or he would In.
struct the patient to put Just SO many
grains Of salt on the egg he was to eat
and part his hair In different way
each day. Ills object was to get the
mind OF the patient on something else
than symptoms, and this scheme
worked well in many cases. especially
when the patient was suffering from
melancholia. n
