of main building running northeast

south end by building of similar con-

Peru's Reckless Rubber-Hunters.

1t is said that the rubber forests
of trans-Andean Peru, on the upper
Amazon, are being gradually de-
stroyed by the wasteful practices of
the native gatherers of the milk"
as the sap is called. The method of
securing it for the better grades of
rubber is to tap the trees in fresh
spots every other day during the dry
season, from July to January. 1t is
usual, at the first of the month. to
start the series of wounds in the
bark at a point as high as the work.
man can conveniently reach, each
subsequent wound being made a little
below in the same vertical line. until
the ground is reached at the end of
the month. Trees tapped at a higher
point, in order to work harder. are
injured, if not killed, and the prac-
tice is forbidden in some districts.
In securing the cheapest grades of
rubber the tree is cut down, and vast
areas have thus been denuded of
rubber trees, except the young ones
which have sprung up. Owing to
this short-sighted policy, the number
of rubber-producing trees is steadily
deceasing, and systematic planting
and cultivation are advocated by ex-
perts.-Leslie's Weekly.

Mourning Stamps.

The Postmaster-Genera (Sydney
Buxton), in opening an exhibition of
postage stamps at Caxton Hall, I'M
der the auspices of the Junior Phila-
telic Society, said that objection had
been taken by some people to mourn
ing envelopes. 1t had been suggested
that he, sPostmaster-General should
produce a stamp with a black border.
He was rather inclined to make a
small issue of such a stamp, and he
hoped that philatelists would buy
them up at high prices.
The total value of the stamps on
show yesterday an expert put at $780,
600. 1.-The fascination of stamp col
lecting," he said, lilies in the rare
finds which are continually made
and the curious points which some
times make a stamp of the face value
of a few pence worth hundreds of
pounds. For instance, the twopenny
blue Mauritius stamp, which the
Prince of Wales bought at a public
auction recently for e1450, was
unique in n respect. The proper
wording on it, Post Paid Mauritius,
had, by a strange error, been altered
to 'Postoffice Nautilus London

Costumes Worth Fortunes.

Dresses may not cost anything
one likes to spend, but there are in
existence certain garments which are
easily the record" in point of price.
The Queen of Siam owns what is
perhaps the most costly dress in the
world. 1t is a silken robe of state,
the fabric being completely concealed
by an embroidery of diamonds, emer-
aids, rubies and sapphires. Its value
is estimated at $4,000 900.
Another valuable dress is the prop
erty of the Grand Duchess Kama, the
Cars sister. Her Highness owns a
Russian national costume, which,
from cap to slippers, is encrusted
with precious stones. The weight
of the complete outfit is so heavy
that it is almost ~unbearable.
Another Russian princess has a
wrap made of silver-fox fur. The
collar alone is worth thousands of
dollars; while the whole garments
worth must be estimated at it's own
weight in gold.-Answers.

Fresh Fish in Mid Ocean

Fresh fish, taken directly from the
fresh water an hour or so before
serving, on the big Atlantic liners, is
a new and welcome novelty made IS
sible by the installation of huge
fresh water tanks on the newest of
these great steamships. Every va
riety of fresh water fish that is served
in the most up-to-date hotel is kept
in these tanks. They are taken there
from just before the time for their
preparation, and when served on the
table have the firm and fresh D
ance of fish served in the hunters
camp. This is a most welcome and
needed innovation, for often the al
legged fresh" fish served on ship
board has been rendered repugnant
to the palate by long keeping. There
is no food more subject to decay than
fish, and when kept too long out of
water it may become not only dis
tasteful, but exceedingly dangerous.

Warming to America.

The figures recently given by the
Central News as to the number of
suicides in the United States form a
remarkable commentary upon the un-
natural "hustling" life which threat
ems to become characteristic of the
transatlantic people. During the
last twelve months 10,7S2 people
have taken their lives. 1t is an ap-
palling figure, exceeding that of the
number of convicted criminals over
the same area. No sermon could bet
ter point the moral that the trans
gression of the law of nervous life is
paid for by the heaviest penalty. On
this side of the water men and women
are suffering in an increasing degree
from nerves." and this is due large
ly to the growing pressure of life.
The melancholy figures quoted re-
garding America should serve as a
douche to fevered Englishmen whose
lives + one continued rush. The
preaching of the Simple life," which
was so fashionable a few years ago,
is now no longer heard. 1t needs re-
viving, and, above all, practicing.-
