The office department tins be- pun the collection of stamps of till the foreign countries of the world, as well as the United Slates. Capt. Brooks, superintendent of the foreign mail service, has two large stamp albums, containing places for every stamp Issued, and makes requests of the various nations for a set of their stamps or specimens. There are in all about Stamps issued, and up to date about have been secured. A great difficulty in securing a complete set arises from the fact that certain principalities of Europe, now in- in the domains of nations, continue the use of their individual stamps. For instance, Bays a Wash- correspondent of the Now York Times, linden, In Germany, use the stamps they did governed by their grand dukes. These pass only In the principalities named and are not good even over the rest of Ger- many. This fact causes much con- fusion, extra expense to tourists traveling on the continent.

President Hayes was always noted for his thrifty habits, but some- things which impressed the multi- as signs of meanness were real- nothing but ordinary prudence. Per example, everyone wondered why he would persist, while drawing a salary of fifty thousand dollars a year, In wearing a silver-plated Waterbury watch, worth possibly three dollars, observes Kate Field. He was aware that his practice was known, and any astonishment amused him instead of him angry. In answer to a look of surprise he would think that is a plain watch for a president of the United States to carry, but it is good American if as- that this fact would counter- act the effect of the the article. Tho truth was that almost weekly deputations of western Indians called upon him, always bringing presents of some kind to the great father. Of course, be was to give something in return, and the object was to find something cheap at the same lime acceptable. Watches were a novelty to the to present a chief with a watch which the great father him self hod been carrying always pressed him greatly. Having this, and not caring gold watches, or even sliver ones, Mr. Hayes hit upon the expedient of buying nickel watches thirty-six dollars a dozen, and always made it convenient to have one with him against any Post.

There was no other person on that side of the car, and only two old ladies and my- self on the other. He had just be- to ogle the girl by grinning and gazing at her, when she changed her place and turned her back on him. minutes he had taken the seat beyond and had begun his again. She stood it some time and changed her position again. He did the same, waiting quite a little while, so as not to attract too much attention. She changed again and he went to the smoker. Then I stepped over and asked her if she needed my services in stopping the annoyance. She thanked and said she would attend to it herself. Pretty soon be came back and sat down facing her again, with a smile as if he thought he was having a great joke. She changed again and so did be. This time I could see her cheeks redden and could almost hear her eyes snap as she reached over and opened a little handbag by her side. She took from it a revolver, and as she looked up again she nodded and smiled as if she wanted him to her. But she didn't, though it looked that way when she got up, and taking a few steps stood in front of him. Then she shoved the revolver close to his face. she said, loud enough for us all to hear, loaded, and if you look at me again I'll put a of its contents into your ugly trembled so as she spoke that the revolver shook in her hand, but she turned and, walking firmly back to her place, sat down again, and the remarkable part of it was she sat so if he raised his face he would look directly at her.

Two of Dr. native attendants ran away, but the doctor and the boy, went in search of the wounded lion. They espied the beast, crouching down fifteen yards away; fired at the lion's bead. At that instant the lion sprang upon the doctor with a roar, and a deadly struggle took place. Dr. lost hold of his rifle in endeavoring to keep the lion off his throat. The beast seized bis left arm in its jaws and clawed his right. The doctor kicked at the lion, which threw him down and be- to tear his flesh. He then called to my arm is broken; my leg is broken; bring the to it, and unable to hold it up, made sit down and, resting the rifle on his shoulder, shot the lion dead.

Sir John the proprietor of the was spend- a holiday in 1853 at the de a private hotel in Paris. Charles the well-known newspaper writer, was a visitor in the same hotel, and was invited to Sir John's private room to play a rubber. His partner was Lady a sharp, active old woman, over eighty years of age, but still preserving traces of her youthful beauty. She revoked and was accused of the crime, but met the accusation with, vehement denial; and when the proofs of the charge were produced treated her accuser with disdain and not very polite contra- diction Sir John lost his patience, and rising from his chair, rasped out with abrupt you are a Her eyes flashed fire; she rose from her chair and advanced toward the offender.

It may safely he assumed that the- of is the engine and then the express car, Why, then, not separate them as much as by putting the express car the last in the train Have alarm bells in each coach and sleeper, which can be rung by the express messenger when he is directed or requested, at this unusual time and place, to open the door of his car. In each coach and sleeper have, in a glass front case, similar to those now in use for the ax and saw, two repeating shot- guns, each magazine containing five buckshot cartridges, thus giving from six to twelve most effective weapons into the hands of the train crew and passengers. The alarm bells should be electric, though it is believed the ordinary cord bell could be made to serve the pose. When the messenger sounds his tocsin of war, there would soon be a sufficient force of brave men at the express car to give the robbers a warm welcome. For the latter to cover the engine cab and each door and side of each coach and sleeper, would require a force of men too great in numbers make profitable. Besides, the greater number of accomplices or principals, the greater the chances of capture and the possibilities of some one turning Under such an arrangement in the make-up of a train, should the rear or express car be the sole point of attack, then the first step would be to cut this car loose from the train, and then loot it. The automatic air brake would give the alarm to the engineer, and he, in turn, to the coaches; or, better still, the con- electric wire could be so ranged as to sound the alarm when the car parted from the train. Should the engine, as in the past, be the first point of attack, then the crew passengers have the advantage of being between the forces of robbers, and, with every probability, can throw the greater number in the fight, and, Napoleon- like, repulse or defeat in detail.

In 1885 the consumption of beer In England was gallons per head in Scotland, and in Ireland, the consumption of cider in Eng- land, 0.4, and none at all in the other two countries; the of spirits in England. 0.8; in Scotland, 1.9; in Ireland, the con- of in England, 0.5 in Scotland and 0.2 in Ireland. The English drinker's partiality for beer and the Scotch and the Irish drink- preference for spirits is clearly When these amounts are convert ed into their equivalents of alcohol, we see that Ireland consumes least 1.4 gallons per head, Scotland comes next with 1.6, and England heads the list with 2.13 gallons of alcohol for each man, woman and child of the population; this, by a curious and undesigned coincidence, is just under one ounce a day per head, the quantity which so many medical Authorities assume can be safely taken the physiological quantity which the country has heard so much of late years. Children seldom touch alcohol, most women take little, and many men do not take any at all; so that the habitual consumers of alcohol, whether they drink to excess or not, get through three or four times the amount which the leading medical authorities assert should not be ex- the Year Round. Paul Grove. A FOOT. Daniel W. Howland, of Boston, wrote a letter to the navy depart- asking information as to the whereabouts of the grave of John Paul Jones. Acting Secretary tells Mr. Howland that the famous sea fighter was probably buried in the Protestant graveyard of Paris, back of the Hotel that in 1851 the United States ship St Lawrence war ordered to South- to bring his to this country for Interment, and that it was then ascertained that the ancient graveyard had been sold and devoted to other uses. Whether the bones were dumped a pit or dis- posed of in the catacombs of Paris the navy does not know. Its Owner Also Possessed tho Only Other Like- It.

Dr. sent bis bill to father, and it was through that bill that the fact became known that Milton had the champion corn raiser. The bill was for two hundred and thirty-five corns and two dollars per corn, the bunions seeming to have been over- looked. When the leading citizen, father of the girl with the amazing feet, read the bill he said something like Jackson. Ann Why don't you go into the business for the market This is more than I got for the hull ding crop this farm last And he refused to pay the bill. Then Dr. sued him for tho amount and then the revelation was made that held the record on corns. The lawsuit was heard be- fore Justice the Peace There were no precedents to go by, as the market price of corns had never before been made a question of legal adjudication, but, having a few corns himself, and calculating what their absence would be worth to him, the justice assessed the value of the leading citizen's owing to the removal of her groups of corns and bunions accordingly, and gave Dr. judgment for twenty-four dollars and fifty cents, or just four shillings a corn and a bunion.
