Some Decirable Stamps. Nothing in a small way is mora suggestive of the change that has I taken place in the fortune of war, and in particular of the fortune of the Orange Free State, than the postage stamps borne by the latest mail-letters from Bloemfontein. These stamps will not improbably be much sought after by philatelists. Three varieties to hand are respectively of the values of "half-penny," "een-penny," "zes pence" (sixpence), and are colored light orange, heliotrope, and light blue. All alike bear the figure of a j tree, whose symbolic meaning is accentuated by the word "vrij" (freely) above it, being part of the legend "Orange Vrij Staat." All this is familiar enough. What, however, makes the little colored squares interesting is the evidence they bear of the British occupation. Immediately beneath the "vrij" of the Taal inRcrintion are stamped in black letters j I." And "V. R. I." just now to thie Free Stater means a verj dif1 f erect thing from "vrij."?London Dailjr :News. The Romance Spoiled. A story has been going the rounds that a secret chamber containing a skull and crumbling bones had been found in the historic old Virginia mansion known as Lower Brandon. The secret chamber was discovered indeed by Miss Gulie Harrison, daughter of the present mistress of Brandon; but, according to the young lady herself, as quoted by a Richmond correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, gruesome remains of poor humanity alleged to have be(:n found existed only in the vivid imagination of some romancer. The floor of the i secret closet was covered with the | dust of ages, but was empty of else. As to the use to which this mystebi scions room was put or its purpose none of those acquainted with its history know. It was j ->ssibly constructed for the unromantic but highly practi- i cable purpose of concealing the silverware and other valuables of the early owners of .Brandon. A Garden on Shipboard.' When Captain Taylor, of the American ship Kenilworth, arrived in Philadelphia from Leith, Scotland, on a recent trip and opened her hatches he was amazed to see what was appar- J ently a green and growing field of. ? grain, extending the entire length of < the vessel. Then he remembered that. the Kenilworth had carried from San Francisco to Leith a cargo of California barley. When she left Leith considerable ballast in the shape of loose earth was dumped into her hold to give her the necessary stiffening lor her transatlantic run. During the passage, which occupied over a month, the loose grain which clung to the ves^ sel's side dropped down into the earth and sprouted. The barley was several iuches high, and the hold inside as green as a park hillside.?Philadel phia Record. The Largest Fle*1i-E*ter Alive.

Having a friend at court enabled us to get an advance peep at the very first importation of wash tailor gowns, just received by one of our most exclusive shops. The only trouble was among so many beauties which to :hoose to show you, snys the Pliiladelnliia Iieeord. The two sketches here, however, embody several of the newest and most desirable of the features of these gowns for this season. The first is made of khaki, the smartest and most exclusive of cotton stuffs for this summer's tailor-maues. The round, dip front, Eton jacket, with very plain sleeve, is ;ne very properest spring jacket model. The revers are covered with an applique of heavy white embroidery, and a band to match heads the circular ruffle on the skirt. These circular ruffles are still la mode on tailor gowns of either wool or cotton, but only run across the sides and back, finishing at each side of the box plait. Then, too, they do not flare nearly so much as last season, being cut plainer, with a scarcely perceptible flare. The combination of the tannieh yellow of the khaki and the heavy white embroidery is stylish in the ex treme. A white pique, cut with one of the new kilted skirts, is shown in the second sketch, with heavy white insertion trimming the bodice. This is also a very smart sown, its trimmed and fitted bodice making it rather dressier than tlie other one, although their styles do not conflict with one another, as they are designed for different occasions. While the jacket suit may, j with perfect propriety, be worn for any occasion where a wash gown is permissible, yet, as has been said, the design of the other makes it more dressy and gives it rather less of general utility style than the jacket model. Elegant Petticoats. The woman who drives need not * "of^fASHlON. give lip her petticoats, and, let fasliioi tnke what whim she will, nothing ear rival the soft "frou frou" of a satii or silk uhderskirt, or the deliglitfu daintiness of white cambric and Va lenciennes. When we wear a petti coat now it is of the most elabornt< order, and here brocade is reallj requisite. The most fantastic olc Watteau brocades, and even satir grounds with floral designs outlined with panne, are utilized for the underskirt, with bright flounces trimmeo with beautiful lace, caught up with ribbons or held in place with dainty headings and gofiferings.

But when a sapphire Is mounted in gold dulled with a bluish tinge; or a ruby or amethyst, emerald, topaz, Bplnel or garnet is seen with its setting, flushed with the same tone of color, the effect is really, beatitlful. The gold will not rival the depth of color seen in the1 jewel or gem, tout the tone is present, the gold being surcharged with color in harmony with the precious stone. Lace pins, brooches, all sizes of buckles, necklaces and slides, particularly the latter can lie obtained abroad, and from Europe are brought over here in' tinted gold ornaments. - .. i* A'Norelry In 8nnahades. .

FOR JUNE 24. Jlevierr pf the Second Quarter?Matt. vll. 7-1S; xlti.. 24-30??olden Text: "riij Kingdom Come," Matt, rl., 10?Sam inary of Lessons. Introduction.?During the quarter wi | have studied the life of Chrl3t from the rniddleto the close of the second year oJ His DUblic ministry. The first year of Hif public work is called the year of obscurity, while the second year is the year of Hu greatest popularity. Christ taught with mthnrffv boldness, nower n.nd comDas. sion. He addressed men as men, not as members of any class, or as possessors of any peculiar culture. This Is why His word3 come with bucu peculiar frashuess. 1 In the first lesson we find th$ stundard of | true religion raised by ttie Master Himself. , Uuon a mountain with His disclpies as. hearers and the anxious multitude claim- 1 ing a share In the great course of instrue- 'i tlon,Jesus preached tbnt illustrious sermon ; called the "8ermon on the Mount." It would seem that enough truth were contained in. this one sermon to serve every need yet we 1 find that Christ continued speaking specif- 1 ically as occasion demanded. In lesson | two He touched upon the greatjbindrance to man's development informing Christian ' character. He shows the reason for so 5 much .harsh judgment. The heart of a i man filled with bitterness and faultfinding sees only crookedness in others. He is . blinded to his own sins and imagines his own state to be that of bis neighbor. Jesus candidly pointed out the way to .a better condition. ' Summary.?Lesson L Topic: "True re- ' ilgion. Place: Mount Hattin, near the 1 centre" of the west coast of the sea oi j Galilee, He taught the disciples and the multitudes. Who are blessed? The pooi 1q spirit; t"he;mqurners; the meek; the hun- 1 gry and thirsty; the merciful; the pure in < heart; the peacemakers; those persecuted < fpr righteousness' sake.

I write for a little information. I claim to be pretty*Well posted in regard to the waters of this State, but am frank to admit that I draw the line on snakes, and I therefore want the editor of your "snake colamn" to give me a little information. I have a large pond on a farm in my sharge, in which are a good many large - trout and, I am sorry to say, Bome snakes. A year ago last summer a person in the neighborhood noticed a Commotion in the water and stopped to see what caused it. Presently he saw that a large watersnake had captured a large trout, too large to take out of the water on the bank in the ordinary way, head first, and presently the snake backed out on the bank, tail first, dragging the trout ifter him in his mouth. This person killed the snake, which eras a very large one, took the trout 3ut of its mouth and brought it up to 3ur farmhouse, where it was weighed ind fnnnd to he la Bounds on weieht. ? ?4 Jr w I asked the farmer whether he ate ;he trout, and he said no; that he did not eat trout -when they had 'been :aught by a snake. \ I have not seen a statement to the ;ffect that snakes are in the habit of lacking out of the water in this way vhen they have seized a large fish, ir.d if this is something new then I vill authenticate this story more fully, is I do not wish to have any doubt aised as to my veracity in case I tell he story, although I know that it is mbstantially as I have told it.?Leter in Forest and Stream.
