Bad money and spurious banknotes are ns common as sparrows, but forg- ed postage stamps are seldom heard of. The most glaring case of stamp forgery in Gredt Britain occurred in 1872 and 1873, and its origin has never been discovered. In those days the minimum rate for telegraphic mes- sages was 1 shilling, and the stamps that were forged were all for such amount, each being passed through the Stock Exchange telegraphle 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 faked more with the object of trap- ping the collector than robbing the postal zuthorities.—London Standard Keep the Machine In Repair, Think for a moment. A man who would no more run his motorcar on deflated tires or with sand in the gear box than he would use sulphuric acid for motive power will keep going right on at his business when the tread of bis own physical mechanism is fatten. ing out and the gear box of his mind is filling with the wrong kind of grit. The impatient optimism that shakes off a vague oppression with the assur- ance “I'll be all right tomorrow” has had as much to do with lengthening out the list of bankrupts as any other one thing 1 could mention. You can't correct a bad condition by persisting in the things that cause it. You will only make it worse. You can easily enough, if you are obstinate enough, make it so much worse that it will “be the death of you," or, anyway, put you out of business.—Nationa! Food Magazine. Stone That Bends, “Firm as a rock,” ‘*tmbending as flint,” are phrases often used: but, as ft matter of fact, there is a sort of stone that is as flexible as wooden fiber. It is, of course, very rare, and the few specimens known are now in mu- seums. One of the finest is in the Hartley {institution in Southampton, England, having been found near Del hi, India. It is about an inch thick and two feet It is & particularly specimen and can with the hands be curved several inches from the horizontal: otherwise it 1s hard and mineral-like, having the grain of ordinary gray sandstone. lathlike in shape, long. flexible Hard on the Ladies, Very few remember the existence of a certain remarkable statute which was passed In the early days of George IIL, If Indeed they ever heard of it. It runs to the effect that If any woman “entices any of his majesty's male sub jects into marriage by the use of any powders or paints. or false hair or wool on the cheeks she shall be prosecuted for sorcery.” What a cause celebre it would be If any of his present maj esty’'s male subjects were to endeavor to put the law into action!
