the cote d'aZUre. The grand duke, with
Spencer Eddy of the American dipio-

thrown out in a muddled mass, and the
party scrambled on board; the grand
duke mounted the seat of honor beside
the grocer's boy, while Capt. Grevi'le
and Eddy took their places at the back,
their feet trailing ON the ground Over

of the pony, who, however, scornfully

Then there was a bump, the seat of
the cart snapped. and the grocer's boy
disappeared. The grand duke seized
the reins, and, standing up. urged the
pony to his utmost. The spirited little
beast responded nobly. 1t was a novel
sight for delighted onlokers as the
ducal party dashed madly up the Rue

in time to jump into the train for
Villefranche.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct 22-Ser-
ious labor troubles in the middle west
mining district were at an end today,
according to reports received today
by John p. White, president of the
United Mine Workers of America.
All of the 5000 striking miners in
Indiana returned to the mines today,
except in isolated cases. Mr.. White
was informed that most of the Him
ois miners were back at work and
the trouble in Birchold district in
Ohio was nipped in the bud.
The situation was so encouraging
today that Mr. White thought it would
not be necessary for him to go into
the affected districts, or to employ
drastic means.
An investigation of the Indiana
coal strike was ordered today by Uni
ted States District Attorney Ert Slack.
He asked for reports from the sher-
ifs of affected counties and declar-
ed he would put a stop to efforts OF
agitators to hinder the production OF
coal.

INcAsED POSTAGE STAMPS.
Once Used ~ Money, They Are Now
Rare and Valuable.


New York city was the birthplace OF
a peculiar sort Of Nancy, made by put
ting United States postage stamps in
fat circular brass cases, with the faces
protected by thin sheet Of mica. The
incased stamps consisted of these de-
nominations: 1, 8, 5, 10. -, "a, 30 and
90 cent, 1862, and this method Of pro-
tecting the stamps SO they could with
stand the wear of circulation was the
invention of John Gault, who was In
business at Park place, New York city.
Mr.. Gault manufactured many kinds
to be used by business firms in place
Of small change, as well as the mutt
lated and worn postage stamps used
for money at the beginning Of the war.
Mary of the incased stamps bore the
name of the firm on the reverse side,
SO that the currency served to adver-
tise the firm that issued it.
Occasionally q subscriber asks us in
regard to these stamps and their value.
Our reply always is that they are OF
considerable rarity and not infrequent-
ly they command a big premium. This
is particularly true Of the II, "a, 30
and 80 cent denominations. These
stamps are eagerly sought for by col
lectors of both stamps and coins, but
especially the former, and they fetch
good prices whenever offered at auc-
ton sales.-American Boy.

No more sinister locality could be

They are seventeen in number, varying

merous naked rocks. They are located
in latitude so, longitude z. about twen-
ty-five miles west by south from Lands
End, Cornwall, England. Those who
recall the scenic effects in 1.-THE Pirates
of Penzance'' retain some idea Of the
nature of the Scillonian panorama
wild and picturesque, sheer cliffs and
yawning caverns followed out by the
ceaseless action Of the ocean waves, a
perilous approach in stormy weather.
In earlier days the islands were in

As for the strategic Importance OF
Scilly. Borlase wrote over century
and half ago: I'm time Of war it is of
the utmost Importance to England to
have Sicily in its possession. If it were
in an enemy's hands the channel trade
from Ireland, Liverpool and Bristol to
London and the south Of England could

point of England, commands both chan

Battle of Dorking.

The battle Of Dorking was an imagi-
nary battle. In 1871, at the close of
the Franco-P russian war, Englishmen
were reminded by the quick work done
by Germany over France Of the possi-
bilities Of invasion, and Sir George Z.
Chesny wrote an interesting and in
structive narrative called 'The Battle
Of Dorking, or the "Reminiscences OF
Volunteer" in which he depicted the
imaginary scene Of great battle on
English soil, which was won by the
Germans. In short, the battle was the
product of military mans imagine
ton, but it was so well worked out
and so wildly described that as long
as the German armies were in France
the mention Of the battle of Dorking
was enough to make an Englishman
Shudder.
