For many years Err. Kink devoted
considerable time to the cultivation IF
orchards, having at che time over 15ai
Iare specimens. Then he turned his
attention to crossing of different spe-
cies of Gala lilies with wonderful
results.
1t is at his country home, MAR
peth" that his most unique conception
in the form of a room papered with
unused postage stamps. is to be
found. China covered with stamps
and rooms papered with unused stamps
are not unknown, although quite rare.
but Mr.. Kings library is the only
apartment on earth decorated with
stamps good for postage
The room is about Is feet square
and of usual height The stamps ex-
tend to the ceiling and form a Dor
der even. The work of transferring
the stamps to the walls occupied the

The stamps were not mere

to plans and designs worked out by
MIR. King were arranged with a view

Most beautiful and elaborate decigns

produced by the einplovment of stamps

nection with tie fineness of the de-
signs and the delicacy of the shadings
has produced a result that is exquiS-
tie beyond the power of words to port

Some idea of the beauty of a wall
wrought out of bright stamps, each

rraver, may be obtained by an in

brilliant cOloring, no less than 1880
copies are used.
The actual face value of the stamps,
$4,000, represents only a fraction of
the commercial value OF the stamps.
Many of them are worth ten times
their face value, having become rare
since they are pasted upon the walls

today.
Even IL MI Mig SHOULD weary OF
his costly decorated apartment and
desire to convert his costly wall paper
into cash. the stamps could readily be
soaked off, and although the loss of
the mucilage would seriously cut
down their commercial value, yet they
would readily sell for more than they
originally cost him. Thus is present.

beautifully decorated room in the

CONSUMpTION'S WARNING


The aid of scientific inventions is not
uee,.ed TO determine whether your lungs
are affected. The first symptoms can Be
readily noted by anyone of average in
teliigence.
There is no disease known that gives SC
many plain warnings of its approach as
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be SO quickly reached and checked,
if the medicine used is DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup. which is made to cure
consumption.
It IS i'll the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are Given in the cough that won't quit,
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, &C
Conpanied by frequent expectoration.
But no matter how deep-seated yom
cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect cure-as it has
