New Stamps for Iceland.
A new issue of stamps has been

containing the value above, the name j
of the country at the left, the word j
"postage" at the right, and the inscrip- :
tion "Chr.IX.R.D." below. The work- j
manship is about the same as that i
of the preceding issues, but the more j
elaborate design requires better engraving
and printing in order not to
appear inferior. These stamps, both j
regular and official, strike one as in- j

the stamps are in two colors, and col- j
lectors expect to And them, sooner or j
later, with inverted centers. The top I

never anything else but thiuly clad,
even in the depth of winter, and carried
constantly?with a loud laugh and
painfully forced jollity that had won

hunted expression. Jacob Ilowells's

on the Street, was quite "off color,"
ami the color had worn off more and
more as years wont on.
lie and I never had any business
transactions for two reasons, both
valid?I had no spare cash to loan, and
when I borrowed?which was seldom?
it was not on collateral of the sort requiring
the big '"shave,*' out of which
this man and his kind made their
sparse and precarious profits. It
was growing dark on a raw day
last February that, crossing Nassau
street 011 my. way toward the elevated.
I saw Kowells in charge of an officer.
Having heard that ho had been con-1
cerned of late in several pieces of
"sharp practice," the fact that lie was
now in custody did not seem surprising.
I was going by with 110 more attention
than may he implied by a brief
thought of commiseration ("Poor chap,
I hope he'll pret out of the scrape"),
when I heard him say pleadingly:
"For God's sake, wait just five minutes
more."
His tone was so imploring, so pitiful,
and it seemed so sincere as to some
hope in a little delay, that I overcame
the dastardly cowardice of prudence,
turned right about, and went up to
him.
"is mere anyuung x cau uu iur ,\uu,
Mr. IIowells?" I asked, not, I fear, cordially,
but coldly, my manner instinctively
modulated as to imply that presumption
on his part would scarcely
be tolerated.
"Yes," he answered eagerly, "there
is, if you are willing to take a littlejust
a little?trouble. As you see, I
have got into a little scrape (he
laughed grimly), and I have sent a
boy for my lawyer. I'm afraid it's so
late he's gone home. Now, would you
mind going to my flat (he named the
street and number),, and tell my wife
that I have been called away suddenly,
but will be back to-morrow?and
(he-handed me a five-dollar bill) give
her that."
Of course I agreed to do what he
wished, though his flat was far over on
the upper east side, while my home
was on the west. Howells clutched
my hand hard, "Thank you; my God,
but I do thank you," and we parted.
I turned back down Wall Strcet, and
took the east side elevated at Hanover
Square. While I waited for the train
it began to snow, and by the time we
reached Fourteenth street a heavy
snowstorm had set in. At Fourteenth
* -x,.. 1 n +
street there "was a long siup, mm m
the end of perhaps fifteen minutes the
guard opened the door. "All out," he
shouted, "this ear goes no further!"
I soon discovered that there -was a
fire on the block above. The surface
line was blocked also, so I made my
way across to the Second Avenue line.
There were delays here also, so that
it was quite late before I reached the
street where Howells lived. In the
meantime the storm had gathered
strength; the wind blew fiercely, and
the mingled snow and sleet beat full
into my face as I made my way toward
the tall tenement to which I had
been directed. I found the number at
last; one of these immense, semi-genteel
apartment houses, a horror to look
upon, much more to be all one could
call "home." Pushing the button of
the very topmost flat, the door opened
instantljr, and, covered with snow, I
toiled up the stairs. On the upper
landing stood a woman, who exclaimed
before she recognized me:
"Oh,. Jake, dear Jake, I am so relieved
"
Suddenly she stopped, seeing a
stranger, and, clasping her hands, her
face, as I could see even in the obscurity,
turned ghastly white.
"Is this Mrs. Howells?" I asked.
"Yes," slie gasped, evidently over-1
come with apprehension, "yes; please'
tell me, have you word from my husband?
Has?has?anything happened
?"
As quickly as possible I relieved her
anxiety by delivering my message and
the bill. I would have gone then at
once; but Mrs. Howells urged me to
come in. "It was so kind of you to
come, and such a dreadful night. Mr.
Howells is not strong. Girls (she continued
joyously, your father is all
right; he was obliged to go out of
town."
I had not said this, but let it pass.
The little room w-as a charming picture
of modest refinement and homelikeness.
Two young women, who had
been sitting by a lamp, one engaged in
needlework, the other, having laid
down a book, rose and greeted me.
Ladies, all of them, that was evident,
as well a: was the de?p affection?almost
adoration?for the man whom,
till that hour, I had known as one who
could not have been classed as respectable,
much less as a gentleman. It
was now, however, quite apparent?
that desperate gap between the man
of the outside world and of the home,
and the hideous struggle he was eueraired
In with the wolf of poverty and
to keep the little family together.
The next day Ho wells eaine to my
| office. He looked even more disrepuj
table than ever after a night in jail,
t but his voice Trembled as he thanked
| me. Then his tone and manner
j changed.
"Well," said he, with a harsh, hol|
low laugh, "I got off this time; 'tten't
! the first, and 'twon't be the last. You
i know your Aesop?the pitcher that
goes often to the well is bound to get
broken some day."
After this I used to do a little more
than nod to Mr. Howells; in fact, sevj
oral times I even threw a little busi;
ncss in his way. Once he came to me
* on a matter where I was really of
' very considerable assistance. When it

consciously, '"I'll not take you to any

We lunched at a little place?not
"swell," but good in its way, and there
lie let out much of his heart to me.
It was pitiful to hear him toll of the
miserable shifts and devices by which
he gathered together the few dollars
needful?pitiful to me, knowing what
the man's home life was.,
"Do you think I don't know well

his hand impulsively upon my arm,
"I give you my word before my God

for some other man's rascality. 'Ilit
him; he's got on friends!' that's the
cry around Wall and Broad streets.

I can't try some other more decent

Now, this piece of business; liow much

"Two hundred," I suggested, knowing
what his commissions ought to
have been.
"Divide that by twenty," said IIowolls
coolly. "What! a jackal like me

I'm allowed for expense carfare, this
lunch and odds and ends; but before I
got the job I had to agree to take an
even ten. Oh! I'm not worrying; it's
the best day's work I've done in six
months."
From time to time during the following
summer I saw Howells. always in
haste, always anxious, hut his greeting
was always a genial smile and a
hearty "Good day."* He never presumed
upon my good offices. It was
lato one afternoon the following November
that a messenger brought me
a brief note from him. He was laid
up, he wrote, with a bad cold, and
there was a little matter of business
1,/% rroTitfifl lnnl-n/1 nffoi' Tho nflnprs

inclosed were all in good shape. It
was after business hours; but in his
calling they stay down town late.
I did what he asked willingly, collected
the amount, and sent it by the
messenger. A week passed, and the
same thing happened again. This time
he wrote at considerable length. Lie
was ^ery ill; too ill to be out such a
harsh day. He had no one he could
trust (the word "trust" underscored).
Would I mind obliging him just once
more? It was a beseeching?almost
cringing?letter. He might have known
me better. I did the errand, collected
$0, added $10, and inclosed a line saying
that I was glad to be of service,
.and that the ten was "at his entire
convenience." The next day a postal
"came, undated, and the handwriting
tremulous, hardly legible. It said
simply: "O. K. Many thanks. You'll
get it later."
About a week after that, while I
wrs sitting at my desk in the office,
the door opened hastily and Howells
sraggcrcd in. My first thought was
that he had been drinking, for his
manner was wild, his eyes sunken
anu uioousnor, ami jus usuai ij:iicjicu
and haggard expression intensified
tenfold.
"Excuse me for one moment, Mr.
," lie said, panting like a "winded
dog, "I'll get my breath shortly."
"When he had recovered himself he
began at once, talking very fast?there
was a policy on his life, taken out more
than ten years before. Originally for
five thousand, it would now be worth
to his heirs upward of nine thousand.
"The premium is due to-day; this is
the very last day or the policy will
lapse. It mustn't lapse; that's the long
and short of it. My family would get
over nine thousand if I should die tomorrow
if that premium is paid. If I
should die to-morrow," he repeated,
choking. "I've got fifteen of it. Can't
you help me out with the balance?
For God's sake try and help me
out?"
I did not keep him in doubt, but
opened my pocketbook and counted out
the twenty that he said was needed.
Howells eyed the money as a famished
man might food. As he clutched the
bills, the man's joy seemed quite unspeakable.
He did, however, manage
to stammer out in the intervals of a fit
of painful coughing what he called his
"deep gratitude."
"You'll get this back, good friend,"
he said huskily at the door. "Never
fear. If I pull through?all right; if
not?well," and he laughed hoarsely,
"all right, any way. The fact is, 1

worked and scrimped and gone without
to save that policy for Polly and
the girls, you'd say I was right?dead
right. They call me a hoary old reprobate,
but I say that was right?dead

About dawn the next morning Howells
died. The grief of the three
women who loved him was agonizing.
If he had been the c*si respectable
citizen it could hnrflVr been more
so. In due time the was paid.
Mrs. Howells soirt for me, and gave

"Mr. Howells told me to be sure

very grateful he was," she said between
her sobs.

HUPCLE JUMPING.
Kracnzlein Is tlio World's Iligli Tlurdla
Champion and Kroord-TIcldpr.
Formerly, in the days of Putter and
Stephen Chase, the hurdle race was
even a prettier event than it is to-day,
as they skimmed the hurdle, and though
they sailed over it very prettily, there
was a distinct glide through the air,
and the motion was stooped after each
hurdle. The ccioiie? or huraimg now
demands Hint Iho nth'ete get over the
hurdle with the greatest possible speed,
to Hip himself over without any glide
in the air. and to so throw the feet and
body that the very effort to clear the
hurdle hurls the ruuuer on to tlie next
hurdle. This style, while not so pretty,
is faster, and Krnenzleln.must be given
the credit for developing It to Its highest
form.
Kraeuzlein in topping the sticks
would use his hip as a swivel, and
throw tne first leg over the hurdle, not
trying to get distance on the farther
side 'f the hurdle. His idea was to get
that leg over as quickly as possible.
The other leg followed after, but it was
not dragged. It was brought up smartly,
so that when his first leg hit the
ground on the other side of the hurdle
his other leg was in the position iC
should he for the next stride. This is
the leg motion, but the young hurdler
will find that to get the above result
he must use his body as a lever and his
arms as a means of balancing and propulsion.
When throwing the first leg
over, the body Is doubled up like a jack
knife, as this not only helps to get the
leg over the hurdle, hut it aids 1h
speed with which the hurdler gets
over. The right arm is thrown forward
if the right leg is first over; the left
arin is then brought up with a rush
while the other leg is being swung
across the hurdle, so that when the athlete
hits the ground after clearing the
hurdle he is in the natural position for
running, and can put all his effort to
getting speed between the hurdles. The
athlete should remember when going
at the hurdle he should keep his cliesl
squarely facing it. The body is the
lever, and if it is not held straight
when going over the hurdle the athlete
will not alight squarely on his feet, and
he will lose form and speed between
the hurdles. In this event the runner
should plan to take but three strides
between hurdles.?From G. W. Orton's
"Training for Interscholastic Athletics''
in St. Nicholas.
Farthest South.
It appears that the point reached in
the antartic circle by Captain Scott, of
the exploring steamer Discovery, which
left England in 1901, was 2 degrees
farther south than was at first announced.
In his final sledge journey
he pushed forward to latitude 82 degrees
17 minutes, when he was about
4G0 .geographical miles from the South
Pole? It was well known that explorers*
have come considerably nearer
to the North Pole, less than 4 degrees,
or less than 240 geographical miles,
remaining to be crossed in the Arctic
circle. Captain Scott has unquestionably
shown that Victoria Land
stretches much farther south than had
hitherto been demonstrated, but it remains
uncertain whether the land extends
to the South Pole. It is said
that a rich collection of marine fauna,
including many new species, has been
made by the scientists attached to the
expedition, and we may take for granted
that due attention has been paid to
seismograpliic records, and to magnetic
and pendulum observations. As
the 'explorers were revictualled toward
the end of January by the relieving
steamer Morning, they will be enabled
to live with an approach to comfort
during the next six months, which
-are, of course, the winter months in
the southern hemisphere, after which
they can resume their southward journey,
and may possibly succeed in
reaching the Antartic Pole.?Harper's

that butler, maid and cook thoroughly
understand the situation. But, seriously,
trained servants are marvelous
critics. There is a family in our
swellest avenue who will admit that
they also are qualified teachers.
Good manners are acquired by children
in imitation of well-bred parents;
they are acquired by scrub adults
through social attrition. Mr. and Mrs.
P., who came here from the West three
years ago with barrels of mined money,
very wisely leaned upon their servants
for that education iJ good behavior
or etiquette which had been denied
them in the long period of their poverty.
The butler they engaged was
formerly in the home of an epicure of
great wealth. They paid him ?7000 a
year and a commission 011 the menu.
One maid was tempted from a leader
of the Four Hundred, another was imported
from Paris, where she had attended
the Countess Q. Fabulous wages
were paid. The footman came from a
fashionable club, receiving three times
his former wages. From these people
tbe Westerners learned "manners."
And they are to-day better behaved
than many animals in the social menagerie
who were born in the purple.Xew

Hysteria In Dogs.
Nerves are the disease of the present
day among human beings, but I did
not know till recently that hysteria is
also a malady of dogs. A friend of
mine owned a dog which suddenly one
day was seized with an'attack of
nerves. Since then it has been very
ill, wandering incessantly round and
round the room, refusing food, but still
recognizing its owner. Another little
dog suffered from hysteria in oonsoqaence
of fright from railway traveling
aSd Urfeally seems as though civilization,
fti rendering dogs more delicate
and more susceptible, had done them a
distinct physical injury. ? Londor

DOCTOR ENSOF
Endorses the Catarrl
A Congressm
Dr. J. F. Ensor, Postmaster of Columbia,
S. C., late Superintendent and Physician
in charge of State Insane Asylum at
Columbia, S. C., writes:
uAfter using your Peruna myself
; for a short period, and my family
' having used and are now using the
, sa me with good results, and upon the
inlormatlon of others who have be*-n
r benefited by it as a cure for ca'arrh
| and an invigorating tonic, 1 can
I chcer/ully recommend tt to all persons
requiring so effective a remedy."?Dr.
J. F. Ensor.
Hon. C. W. Butts, ex-member of Congress
from North Dakota, in a letter from
Washington, D. C., says:
"That Peruna is not only a vigorous, as
well as an effective tonic, but also a cure
of catarrh is beyond controversy. It is already
established by its use by the thousands
who have been benefited by it. I
cannot too highly express my appreciation
of its excellence.''?C. W. Butts.
Dr. It. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T., writes:
"Peruna is the best medicine I know of
for coughs and to strengthen a weak stomach
and to give appetite. Beside prescribing
it for catarrh I have ordered it for
weak and debilitated people, and have not j
| had a patient but said it helped him. It :
, is an excellent medicine and it fits so i
; many cases. j <
"I have a large practice, and have a

| you may live long to do good to the sick
j and suffering."
Only the weak need a tonic. People are
j never weak except from some good cause.
I One of the obscure causes of weakness and
! the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh.
Catarrh inflames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasma to escape
through the mucous membrane in the
form of mucus. This discbarge of mucus is
the same as the loss of blood. It produces
weakness.
The Migration of Birds.
The birds which travel by night Include
by far the greatest number of
migrants. Among them will be found
the thrushes, with the exception of tho
robin and the bluebird, which migrate
by day; the nuthatches and titmice,
creepers, thrashers and wrens,
warblers, tanagers, vlreos, most of the 1
sparrows and finches, orioles, meadow
larks, fly catchers, with the exception
of the king bird, the cuckoos and
the woodpeckers. You will observe
that most of these birds have neither
very strong nor very rapid flight, and
consequently require the shelter of
darkness to protect them from their
enemies. Moreover, most of them
take their food in small quantities,
and require some "time to make a full
meal. If they attempted to divide up
the day between eating and migrating
they would travel but slowly. So they
journey by night, and spend the day
in feeding and resting.
The day migrants, on the other
hand, are for the most part birds
strong enough to resist attack or
swift enough to avoid it. They include
the horned larks, tit-larks,
robins, bluebirds, cedarbirds, swallows,
crows, nighthawks and chimneyswifts,
humming birds, hawks and
doves. Some of these?the nighthawks
and chimney-swifts, for ex
ample?do not require to stop for food,
but feed on the wing as they travel;
the rest, although they may have to
stop for refreshments now and then,
are so swift of wing that they can
easily make up for lost time. Of
course, there are times when some of
these migrants are obliged to cross
considerable bodies of water, and in
such cases it sometimes happens that
they have to travel during a part or
the whole of a night.?Woman's Home

B. Pare, a prominent brick manufac- !

Kidney Pills were .first brought to my
attention I was suffering from a com- :

bad back which usually results from j
kidney complaints, I had a great deal
j of trouble with the secretions, which ;

j excessive and at other times scanty,
j The color was high, and passages were
; accompanied with a scalding sensation.
Doan's Kidney Pills soon regui

fial Tonic Pe-ru-na?
an's Letter.
Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents j
the discharge of mucus. This is why Pe- j
runa is called a tonic. Peruna does not J
give strength by stimulating the nervous !
system a little.
It cives strength bv Dresorvintt the mu* :
cous membranes against leakage.
It gives strength by converting the blood
fluids and nreventing their draining away
in mucous discharges.
Constant spitting and blowing the nose j
will finally produce extreme weakness
from the loss of mucus.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory
results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will be
pleased to give you his valuable advice

Deafness Cnnnot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only on 3
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
Inflamed condition of the mucous lining o.'
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it Is entirely closed
Dealness is the resnlt, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken ont and this tube kestored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten
ore caused by catarrh,which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous surface.
