United States Stamps. The government of the United States has decided to give up printing its postage stamps. The Bureau of Engraving ‘and Printing in Washing ton has done the work since 1894 at a loss which has amounted to consid- erable each ycar and has-been made up by deficiency appropriations by Congress. The American Bank Note Co. has now secured the contract, and its work will be done in the same manner as that which this company turned out before 1894. The main feature of the new printing will be the engraving upon the stamps them: selves of the names of 26 postofiices in the United States which do largest business. = There are smaller offices, and the stamps of these will have the names printed up on them. This is done in order to prevent postoflice robberies, as it will be impossible to dispose of any large number of stamps with the name of the office printed upon them after a robbery has been committed. An interesting field for coliection is opened by this action on the part of our government: The © attempt to gather a collection, of stamps issued from every different postoffice in 2 state or in the United States may be made, and in many cases will - un- doubtedly be successfully accomp- lished. This form of stamp collect- ing will naturally take the place of postmark collecting, and in many ways is likely to be more interesting and instructive, as it will be the stepping _ stone to the general collection of the ~ stamps of the world.—St. Nicholas. G,0060 WHITE BREAD Makes Trouble For People With Weal Intestinal Digestion. A lady in a Wis. town employed a physician, eat white bread for two vears. She tells the details of her sickness, and she certainly was a sick woman.- “In the year 1887 I gave out from over work, and until 1901 I remained an invalid in bed a great part of the time. Had different doctors, but nothing seemed to help. I suffered from cerebro-spinal -congestion, fe- male trouble and serious stomach and bowel trouble. My husband called a new doctor, and after having gone without any food for 10. days the doctor ordered Grape-Nuts for me. I could eat the new food from the very first mouthful. The doctor kept me on Grape-Nuts, and the only medicine was ¢ little glycerine to heal the alimentary canal. “When I was up again doctor told me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and no white bread for two years. I got well in good time, and have gained in strength so I can do my own work again. “My brain has been helped so much, and" I krow that the Grape- Nuts food did this, too. I found I had been meade ill because I was not fed right, that is, I éid not properly digest white bread and some other foed I tried to live on. “I have never been without Grape- Nuts food since and eat it every day.

Truly Rural. The seventeen-year-old daughter of a certain Wall Street man recently visited for the first time the fine farm in Duchess County for the past year owned by her father. The little girl immediately became greatly interested in the prize cattle that are the special pride of her parent and .asked many questions relative to their breeding, etc. > One evening just at dusk as the girl was standing on the veranda of the farmhouse talking to the manager, there came the low, mournful note ot a cow. “Just listen to that poor cow,” the little girl to the manager, ‘“mew- ing for her colt.”—Harper’s Weekly. The Granary of South America. The Argentine Republic is best of ‘all the South American countries because it produces cereals and beef, mutton, wecol and hides in competition with the United States, Canada, and European countries; yet-it is difficult to keep pace with the enormous growth of Argentine agriculture dur- ing the last few years, just as very many persons are still unable to grasp the fact that instead of being a little country somewhere down in South America, it is twenty-eight time the size of Ohio, and that while in the Northern regions it produces sugar and other tropical products, yet as a whole it is to be viewed as another Mississippi Valley. The Argentine Minister of Agriculture estimates the wheat crop for the current year at 3,882,000 tons, the area under cultiva- tion being 14,028,000 acres. The foreign commerce in 1906 exceeded $550,000,000.—America n Cultivator. said A Solar Incubator. if the poultry-raisers can- not afford the double-acting, steam- heated chicken-hatchers they may make use of anything which is handy in place of the crdinary setting hen. In Ohio -¥t has remained for Henry Decker, a old farmer living near Rome, in the Buckeye State, to use Dbee-hives for this purpose, says The Technical World. Mr. Decker happened to have two or three empty hives, and, as his hens ‘“‘went on strike” and refused to sit on their mests, he decided to raise his chickens without their help. So he took a piece of cotton cloth, laid the eggs in it; then covered them over with a thick chair cushion, placed the eggs in the hive and awaited results. In a short time 18 out of the 20 eggs were turned into chirping chicks. Since then Mr. Decker swears by the bee-hive, and all he asks of the hens is to do the laying and he will do the rest. ‘Sad Result.

Popularity doesn’t seem to follow any rule, says the New York Times. It is like a freak of nature. A book may be popular for many different reasons.
