Eorued POSTAGE Stamps.

Bad money and spurious banknotes
are as common as sparrows, but forg-
ed postage stamps are seldom heard
of. The most glaring case of stamp
forgery In Great Britain occurred in
1872 and 1873. and it's origin has never
been discovered. In those days the
minimum rate for Geographic mes
sages was / shilling. and the stamps
that were forged were all for such
amount, each being passed through
the Stock Exchange Geographic office.
One of the principal reasons against
postage stamp forgery is the keenness
of philatelists. The vigilance of the
collector would speedily bring to light
the existence Of any faulty stamps.
OF the many thousands OF varieties Of
stamps issued. only about 100 are
known to have been forged. and these
specimens have usually been skillfully
faxed more with the object of trap
ping thn collector than robbing the
postal authorities Standard.

Beavers Work,

The beavers not only cut down trees
for the purpose Of making dams, but
also use the smaller 1pper branches as
storage supply of food for winter use
These branches. from two to four inch
es in diameter. are cut into lengths of
two or three feet and then by wonder
full engineering ability are carried be-
meath the water and into the beavers
houses, or the burrows. with which the
bank Of every beavers dam is honey
combed. Here they are carefully stor-
ed. The green bark is the staple arti-
Gle of food throughout the winter.
The dams are of varying height and
length, according to the particular To-
cation. found dam in Mesa county.
Colo. which was just six feet from
bottom to top and impounded a body
of water six feet or more in depth and
covering an area Of several acres. This
dam was perfect in construction. 1t

cinity.-Our Dumb Animals.

Tho First Japanese In Amer,ea.

The first Japanese who ever came to
America as far as is known was Man
jiro Nakahama, fourteen-year-old
lad. who was picked up by the captain
Of an American fishing vessel in 1871,
twelve years before the coming of
Commodore Perry to Japan. Naka-
hama, with four companions. had sail
ed out into the ocean on a fishing ex-
petition, theN boat had been wrecked
by a storm. and they were finally
washed ashore on desert island in the
northern Pacific. Three months of dire
privation were passed on the island
before the little party was rescued by
the American vessel. His companions
were left in Hawaii. but Nakahama.
who became a great favorite of the
captain. was BROUGHT to the United
States and sent to a New England
school. And when Commodore Perry
came to Japan, Nakahama was able to
act as interpreter in the negotiations
carried on between the American en-
voys and the Japanese feudal govern
ment authorities. DIR. Jokichi Taxa
