POSTAGE STAMPS. A Few of the Most Famous Col lections in Existence. Enormous Prices Paid for the Rare Specimens. Six years ago a business man in this city, says the Philadelphia Neu>a, who liad plenty of rnoaoy, determined to collect a magnificent assortment of for eign postage stamps. For six years he has done littlo else than pursue this oc cupation. He beenmo connected with all tho leading dealers in tho world and left with them orders to secure raro va rieties at any prico. 110 has already ex panded $25,000, and has now a collcc. tion of about 14,003 stamp}. This may ipciudo all tho "adhesives," as there are but 8000 of them in existence. Oc casionally you rja 1, and so do I, of postage-stamp collections containing millions of d llerent stamps. Such things are myths, unless thoy consist of inmunerablo duplicates. Perhaps dealers and advanced collect ors consider the collection of 31. Fer rari, son of tho Duchess of Galatea, tho finest collection of poutago stamps in the world. It is said to outrank even the famous Rothschild collection. The Feirari collection is worth $250,000, and its happy owner employs a well educated secretary who does nothing whatever but attend to it. This secre tary classilio3 and pastes the stamps, and corresponds with all tho lea ling dealors of tho world, endeavoring to obtain what collectors call "unattaina bios." Tho stamp dealers frequently obtain specimens of rare stamp, in queer ways. Not long ago a bookkeeper employe I by a Philadelphia merchant entered tho firm of which Mr. llanos is a member, and throwing a stamp on the counter asked whether it was worth anything. This was ono of the first stamps issued by the city of Baltimore many years ago, and tho bookkeeper said he had found it ou a letter of an old corre spondent of tho firm for which he worked. Apparently the mm did not think the stamp would bring more than 50 cents or a dollar. You can judge of his nmazoment, therefor, when he was off.'red a sum very far beyond this, and which seemed to him fabulous, lie parted with tho stamp gladly, and hurried out of tho office as if he were afraid tho money would bo asked back. Several days later this stamp was sold jor S2OO. One of tho most famous collectors of tho world is Mr. Tapling, an Euglish member of Parliament. He lives at Dulwicli, not far from London. His collection, which is valued at S2OO, 000, is mounted on cardboard and includes a long list of what connoisseurs call tho "unattainablcs." Dozens and dozens of Mr. Tap'ing's stamps are worth from SIOO to $l5O apiece. Several weeks ago a very small boy who has been selling stamps at inter vals to a local dealer called upon him with a United States stamp—l think it was ono of tho old "eighty cents" and asked how much it was worth. This was a stamp which sells roadily for $lO. But tho lad had never re ceived more than five or six ccuts apiece for his stamps before, and the dealor was afraid of frightening him at first by mentioning a high value, so he told tho boy ,l it was a mighty good stamp." Then offering $5 for it, he asked the lad whether he would sjll it at that figure. Tho boy became scared, picked up the stamp, ran away and ha 3 never returned. Ho probably has an idea that it is worth a fabulous sum. Utilizing the Air. Tho atmosphere is employed to a considerable extent, but not to the o-nc millionth part that it should be. It is used for respiratory purposos, for the driving of sailing ships, for tho throw ing of dynamite projectiles in the Z ilm ski gun, for tho turning of some wind mills and a few other purposes, but with respect to its quantity, its strength, its pliability, its caso of har nessing and handling, it is doing abso lutely nothing. It is timo that something bo done with this pervading and potent energy. Until within a few years lightning, from the very creation, was permitted to roam in a savage state. It was a brutish creature, frightening human be ing i and rending rocks and forests from pure excess of vigor and lack of something usoful to do. Modern sci ence gave some attention to this cavort ing, brilliant, rending, roarinj, blind ing phenomenon, and speedily discov ered that it was no howling, angry demon, as was supposed by earlier ages, but an available, powerful energy which could bo haltered, broken to harness and made to work with the steadiness of a plough horse. For thousands of centuries ol ectricity was simply ft member of an untamed family of wild beasts; and much tha same is true of tho atmosphere. It hat been untamed, destructive. It has gamboled idly among tho flowers as a zephyr. It has scurried across the prairies and uplands as a breeze, scud ded over the waters as a gale, wrecked ships as a tempest, and corkscrewod over tho pi ains, uprooting forests and prostrating houses as a cyclone. Here are motors, powers, energies, forces, absolutely without limitation. Iu some cities in the old world a lim ited use is made of tho air. It carries parcels from point to point; it takes the letter dropped into the street postal box, and in a jiff/ delivers it to a cen tral station. But these are nothing. Why, are there not in Chicago scores of pneumatic dynamos from which is dis tributed condensed air for tho running of sewing machines, lathes and other machines now workod by hand and treadle? Why cannot detachable mag azines of condensed air bo provided by whose agency street cars can ba pro pelled, and a light, incombustible mo tor bo provided for bic/clos, road wagons and a thousand similar pur poses? A Nose Upside Down. The presence of mind shown by an Ohio physician saved a man a nose. That useful member was severed by a fall upon a sharp corner, and tho at tendant M. D., by promptly placing the sundered piece whero it belonged, so cured a healing "by first intention" and the subsequent restoration of the organ, plus an ugly scar. Less successful was the replacing of a no=e by a young mm of Pittsburg many years a 30. While engaged in playfully "fencing" with a companion a reckless pass cleanly cut off the young fellow's nose. Ho had not studied physiology for nolhiug and, acting upon this knowl edge, grabbed the severed organ and clapped it on the bleeding surface it had just quitted. Then his nose was bound firmly on and nature was left to take her course. She did this admirably. When the bandages were removed tho two part 3 wore found to be grown to gether beautifully. Nothing could bo nicer, except that the unfortunate young man had put his nose on upside down) The nostrils stood as opin to heaven ai the flues at the apex of chimney. The memories that como down through a vista of thirty years, siuce this sad affair took place, aro a tritle misty and unreliable us to tho subse quent career of the man with the in verted nose, lie is believed to bo dead. During his life, however, ho was known to declare that, for purposos of snufE talcing, he had tho very finest nose in tho world, but that to bo caught in a heavy shower, without an umbrella, was tantamount to drowning. Thoso that are suddenly deprived of a nose should be careful to repines it with the perfora tions down. Human lifo is made up of trifles, and some of these havo power to engender discomfort when it comes to an upside down nose.— Pittsburj Press. Wild Elephants nt Home. A correspondent on a tour through .India says: The mysterious sounds of night give placo to tho voices of the awakoning birds, the crow of tho jungle-cock, tho shrill screams of flocks of parrots flash ing like meteors thiough tho air, and the varied notes of many others hidden from our sight. As the sun rises tho full beauty of the forest becomes ro vealed. On every side aro huge trojs, some hung with festoons of thin, snake-like creepers; others destitute of leaves, but covered with beautiful tulip li'ce scarlet flowers; others, again, a blaze of crimson foliage. Wild pig, deer and peacock run across our path; and on the road in front I seo what is apparently the fa miliar barndoor cock scraping as vigor ously as if he were in the faimyard at home, although he is in his native wilds. The most startling spectacle is, liowcvor, when, after mi cli crashing of branches has been heard, a herd of a dozen wild elephants crosses tho pat h about fifty yards ahead, doigning to notice their captive brother only by a disdainful glauce and flourish of thoir trunks. A Motlicr-in-Law's Paradise. "Among the Piutes," says tho Vir ginia City Enterprise, ' 'it is always tho fathcr-in-law that makes tho trouble. Every married Piute is always gla' l of a visit from his mother-in-law. Ho wel. comes her with his broadest grin. Tho arrival of tho mother-in-law gives him a double team, whtre bofore ho had only one animal. He hails her appearance with delight and piling a jackass-load of wood upon her willing old back, sends her into town with his wifo (similarly packed) to peddlo out the fuel and bring back to him a supply of money for his favorite game of poker. Tho Piute father-in-law is of no use as a wood-packer, nor will ha gathw grass saads or piuanuta. FOB THE HOUSEWIFE. BAKED CAIIP'S HEART Is a very cheap and economical dish, and savors strongly of venison. Wash tho heart well in cold water, letting it stand half an hour in the second water. Removo tho tubes and fill tho spacei with a stuffing made of bread crumbs, meltod butter, salt and popper. Press this well down and skewer tho holes, or sew them together. Stand it point down in a saucepan of such a sizo that tho largest part of tho heart will fit in snugly and keep it from falling over. Cover two-thirds with water and sim mer so gently that tho water will not boil over tho top of tho heart, and thus soften tho stuffing. Cook for ono hour, then lay it in a baking pan and bako a nice brown, basting with butter. Mak9 a sauce by thickening tho gravy in tho pan, and somo of tho water in which it was boiled, with flour and seasoning to taste. Servo somo sour jelly with it. EXCELLENCE; OF SALT. If tho feot are tired or painful aftci long standing, great relief can bo had by bathing them in salt and water. A handful of salt to a gallon of water ii tho right proportion. Have tho water as hot as can bo comfortably borne. Iminerso tho feet and throw tho wate: over tho logs as far as tho knees with the hands. When the water bocomes too cool rub briskly with a fhsh toivl. This method, if used night and morn ing, will cure neuralgia of tho feet. Carpets may bo greatly brightened by first sweeping thoroughly and then go ing over them with a clean cloth and clean salt and water. Use a cupful of coarse salt to a largo basin of wator. Salt as a tooth powder is better thai) almo?t anything that can bo bought it keeps tho teeth brilliantly whito and the gums hard and rosy. If after having a tooth pulled ths mouth is filled with salt and water it will allay the danger of having a hem orriuage. To clean willow furniture uso salt and water. Apply it with a nail brush, scrub well and dry thoroughly. When broiling steak, throw a little salt on the coal, and the blazs from dripping fat will not annoy. Damp salt will remove tho iliicolora tion of cups and saucers caused by tea and circles? washing. Brags woj-k can be kept beautifnllj bright by occasionally rubbing with salt nnd vinegar. Wash the mica of tho stovo doors wilh salt and vinegar. Salt in whitewash will make it stick better. — Fmit Orotter. A Pigeon Decides a Law Case. A novel decision was rendered by Juitico Miller in a suit beforo him bo. tween John B. Kirby and John Sc It, each claiming tho ownership to a certain carrier pigeon, which was brought into court in charge of an officor. Justico Miller, in order to settle tho ownership beyond quostion, ordered the pigeon placed in the hands of two disinterested persons, who took it four miles south of the city and released it. Aftei it had started two chnscrs were sent up by Kirby, and Scott followed suit by re leasing another pigeon.

It drives away blotches and pimples, purifies the blood, tones up the system, and makes one feel brand-new. Why, it cured Cousin Ben, who had consumption, and was almost reduced to a skeleton. Before his wife began to use it, she was a pale, sickly thing, but look at her: she's rosy-cheeked and healthy, and weighs one hundred and sixty-five pounds. That, Cyrus, Is a discovery that's worth mentioning."
