Quoted from Phoenecia to Crete.
The postage stamp of > drachmas
presents a view of the celebrated pal
ace of Minos at Cnossos, these ruins
having been discovered through the
excavations made by English archeol-
ogists. In the frame of this stamp IS
a creature having the body of a woman
and the head of an OK. This is genef-
ally regarded as a Minotaur, but incor-
rectly so, as unquestionably the o
ster is a female. Minotaur. on the 9th
or hand, was a man, the half-son OF
Minos. Another figure in the frame of
this stamp is an archer, copied from
a vase found in the palace of Cnossos,
and representing him in the act OF
bending his bow to let fly an arrow.
The stamp of 5 drachmas presents
another historical view, the subject
being the convent of Arcadion. which
has PLAYED such an important part IN
the history of Cretan instructions.
Nine hundred insurgent Greeks, with
their women and children, were
penned up in this convent in NoVem-
Der, 1866, by a besieging force of 81
600 Turkish and Egyptian soldiers.
The little band had made an heroic
defense, but there was no hope OF es-
cape from the host that surrounded
them. Rather than fall into the hands
of their enemies they finally blew up
the place with themselves.
The stamp shows behind he walls
of the old convent the eternal SHOWS

famous cave in whose side was born
the Idean Jupiter. On either sid OF
the picture stand figures representing
Greece and Crete, one Onerlng the

EXCLUSIVE CLUBS IN PARIS.
Matter of an Election Puts the Candi-
date to Much Trouble.

Election to the exclusive clubs in
Paris is a very serious business. The
and seconder must not only
know all about their candidates but be
able to bear witness to their antece-
dents and even to their forefathers.
They must write to all their friends
and ask them to support their candl-
dates. When the election takes place
they must not only be in the room but
approach each member individually as
he m up to the ballot box and ask
him for his support.
When the member has been elected
he arrives the first day as a kind OF
stranger and with his hat in hand. He
is then formally introduced by n OF
his proposers to each member sep
arately who happens to be in the room
at the time. On the second occasion
he has ceased to be a stranger and
NAV leave his hat in the hall, but he
is still expected to go around the room
with one of his proposers and De
formally introduced.
This lasts for a week, by which time
is assumed to know all his col
.eagues. though a foreigner who is eN-
trapunctillious and insists on being IN
duced to every member OF the clnD

The Land Made Famous by PhiIpotts'

Philpotts has made us familiar with
romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating
novels, THE River" Children of the
Mist" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford. North Devon, states:
For 80 years I drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some s years
ago l found that it was producing indi.
gestion and heartburn. and was max

toms were followed by brain tag and
