What la believed to b tha most unique
and etriklng postage lUmp ever designed
a commonly known among collectors aa
tha Canadian Chriatmaa atamp. It Is
sued lor uaa Chrtatnuia day, 1MH, by Can
ada, tha da. that Great Britain made
Canada, aa wall aa all Ita colonics, a
Chrtatmaa present In tha shape of t-cent
latter postage. Almost avary conceivable
thins on earth baa been depleted time and
again upon poatara stamps by many na

animals, fowla, flshea of every description,
landscape, buildings, machinery, ships,
railroad trains, cities, mythology, goda,
battlea on land and sea, rellgioue aymbola
and characters and numeroua other eub-
Jeota, but Canada la the first and only na
tion to recogniaa Chriatmaa upon a poetage
tain p.
Thla Chriatmaa atamp waa of tha de
nomination of 1 oenta and although it waa
Issued December tt, U98, Ita availability
for poatal uaea la limited. Canadian poatal
official aaaert that occaatoually on la
now aaen upon a letter Indicating that
some parson who laid away a number of

to uaa a Chriatmaa atamp in the abaence
of one of tha current laau.
Prtatei im Tares Calora.
Tot famous atamp la dlatlngulahed In
many way. It t the only postage atamp
ever printed In three color and coat mora
than three time aa much aa the ordinary
single colored atamp for the printing. It
la about twice the laa of a common United
Btatea t-cent stamp and portrays the map
of the world In which It appeara that
Canada is tha hub of the universe and that
i.t.sh poaaeaaion are pretty nearly
i i .. ..ule thing. Thla 1 emphasised and
rubbed In by printing the British

i. the balance of tha earth to

i .np Is In black. At the bottom of the
. .Ign appears this boastful Inscription
. . o hold a venter empire than has been
i.. .ecllng stamp colleotor in the United
. ates have dubbed It the "has been'

.(era are .the worda "Xmaa, UM." It la
.urthy of not that these stamp were
. rinted by a bank note oonoern In the
. nlted Bute.
jr course each sheet of stamps had to
. through the press three times. At one
i .lie, when a large requisition was being
li in tod and tha "form" which gave the
ocm their coloring was on the press, the
pressman, either by design or through In
advertence, got too much red In tha Ink,
giving trie color a decided lavender, Instead
of blue-green hue. This error resulted in
an Immense Increase In the demand of
these stamps. Al It oould be had, unused
for I cents, of course, every one of the
-Yulf million oollectors In the United States
and a couple of million In Europe, had to
have both color of oceans, and the revenue
from this source alone paid the entire cost
of the Issue to the Canadian government

It I regarded by collectors a singular,:
that, notwithstanding tha United . State
..exemplifies the highest type of -Chrlatlarr
nation, and has produoed probably 2U0 dif
ferent design for adhesive postage stamps.
Including four commemorative series, no
religious symbol, emblem or character ha
ever appeared on one of our postage
stamps. In contrast, bundreda of stamps
of Europe, Aula and Africa are religious
In character, or embody religious features,
such as the cross. A series of stamps of
Portugal represents St. Anthony preaching
to the flahes; hi vision of the child Jasus;
What Sulphur Does
For tha Human Body la Health aad
Dlaaaaa.
COSTS SrOTXXJTCr TO TBT.
Tha mention of aulphur will recall to
many of ua tha early daya when our
mothers and grandmothers gave u our
dally dose of aulphur and molasses every
spring and fall.
It was the universal aprlng and fall
"blood purifier," tonlo and cure all, and,
mind you, thla old-fashioned remedy wa
not without merit.
Tha Idea waa good, but the remedy waa
crude and unpalatable, and a large quan
tlty had to be taken to get any effect.
Nowadaya w get all tha beneficial ef
fects of sulphur In a palatable, conoen
trated form, so that a single grain Is far
mora effective than a tablespoonful of the
crude aulphur.
In recent yeara research and experiment
have proven that tha beat aulphur for
medicinal uaa la that obtained from Cal
cium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold In drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium
Wafers. They are (mail chocolate ooated
pellet and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur In a highly concen
trated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value of
this form .of sulphur In restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health; sul
phur acts directly on the liver and axere
tory organs and purifies and anrtchea the
blood by the prompt elimination of waste
'material.
Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall, but the crudity and Im
purity of ordinary flowers of sulphur
were often worse than the disease, and
cunnot compare with tha modern concen
trated preparations of sulphur, of which
Stuart's Calcium Wafers Is undoubtedly
the beat and most widely used.
They are the natural antldota for liver
and kidney troublea and cure constipation
nd purify the blood in a way that often
aurprlsea patient and physician alike.
Dr. R. M. Wllklns while experimenting
with aulphur remedlee, soon found that
the sulphur from Calcium wa superior to
any other form. He eaya: "For liver,
kidney and blood troublea, especially when
resulting from constipation or malaria, I
have been surprised at the results ob
tained from Stuart' Calcium Wafers. In
istlents suffering from bolls and pimples
and even deep-aeated carbuncles, I have
repeatedly aeen them dry up and disap
pear In four or five days, leaving the skin
clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Cal
cium Wafer is a proprietary article and
sold by drugglrts and for that reason ta
boied by many physicians, yet I know of
nothing ao safe and reliable for constipa
tion, liver and kidney troublea and espe
cially In all forma of akin diseases as this
remedy.
At any rata people who ars tired of
pills, cathartic and ao-called blood "puri
fiers" will find In 8tuarfs Calcium Wafer
a far safer, more palatable and effective
preparation.

The 1IM iBsue of stamim of Crete are de
voted to depleting mythological and
legendary events. Including the. various
gods. One of these stamps portrays the
egend of Romulus suckled by a wolf.
Chinese stamps are very largely religious
In design, wild-eyed dragons forming the
central feature with pagodas, sacred birds
and elephant a close second. Oreat Rrltaln,
which for sixty years used the portrait of
Queen Victoria as the central figure on lis
stamps, broke away from tradition In 198
and Issued for Its colony of Barbados a
rle of stamps In which fabled Neptune
driving his sea-horses, occupied the entire
stamp.
Christ an a Stamp.
It Is on a stamp of Portugal that the
picture of the youthful Christ Is presented,
and this forms on of a most beautiful
and elaborate set issued by the government
n 1886 In commemoration of the 700th birth
day anniversary of St. Anthony of Padua.
The Christ stamp I of the lowest denom
ination of the set. It value being !Vs rets,
or a little more than one-fourth of an
American cent. The renting la in black
on white paper and the Illustration repre
sent St. Anthony kneeling, with arm
outstretched to the heavens, where Jesus
a a child, appear In a cloud. The picture
ta regarded as a masterpiece and the stamp
Is highly treasured, though It la not rare
nor expensive. A characteristic of this
tamp and the other of tha set that is not
possessed by any other postal products is
that there Is printed on the back of each
In Latin a prayer of thanksgiving to Ood
for HI manifold blessings.
The other designs In the St. Anthony
series of atamp continue the Christian Idea
and are equally well executed from an ar
tistic standpoint. One tells In picture the
Interesting story of the sermon preached
to the creatures that live In the deep. In
tha course of his wide missions ry work
St. Anthony la said to have come to the
town of Artmlnl, where his diligent labors
to turn the many heretics from the error
of their ways were met with rebuff after
rebuff, the unbelievers even refusing to
hear his gospel. In sheer despair the saint
repaired him to the shore of the sea and
called upon the flahes to bear him. It Is
narrated that at once all the inhabitants
of the deep appeared upon the surface of
the water and there remained, the large
and the small alike, until the preacher had
finished his eloquent discourse. The story
goes that when this new reached Artmlnl
the heart of the people were changed and
they sought out St. Anthony, who ex
pounded to them and finally converted
them.
Another stamp of this series shows the
saint ascending to heaven attended by two
angel, while the fourth and last is a
portrait of St. Anthony taken from a rare
painting in a French salon.
Apostle Paul's Kiperlencea.
Malta the Melita of the early Christian
era, upon whose shores Paul suffered ship
wreckIssued a stamp In 1S9 depicting the
experiences of that apostle aa they are nar
rated In the closing verses of the twenty-
seventh and opening verses of the twenty
eighth chapter of the Book of Acta Paul
stands on the shore, while In the distance
Is the wrecked ship from which he and Z.S
other souls had escaped. The asp which the
apostle shook from his arm to the surprise
of the barbarians Is rising from the ground
at the side of Paul.
Other symbols of Christian conquest are
not lacking on stamp. St. George' battle
with the dragon Is shown on an Iraue of
Crete, while St. Michael, the patron saint of
Belgium, 1 represented slaying a dragon on
a stamp of 1897 issued In commemoration of
the great exposition at Brussels.
The picture of -the Mother of the Babe
born In a manger at Bethlehem 1,900 year
ago adorn many of the stamp of the
Virgin Islands In the West Indie. The
Island of Grenada was discovered by Colum
bus on the feast day of the Assumption of
the Virgin Mary In 1488 and wa named La
Concepclon for that reason. A commemora
tive stamp waa Issued eight years ago bear
ing two Greek crosses. The central figure
on this stamp Is the craft of Columbus
n earing the new land.
All of tpese stamps through their seml-
rellgtou nature carry a suggestion of
Christmas, as do the great number of
cross stamps."
Cross on Stamps.
The cross, the symbol of Christ and
Christianity, haa a special appropriateness
for Christmas, or Christ day. and there Is
a wonderful variety of these displayed on
stamps that must be Interesting at this
season. Some of these cross stamps were
designed by missionaries. Those of the
Tongan stamps bearing the Greek cross
were designed by Rev. 8. W. Baker. An
other missionary designed the Samoan
stamp, that la a reproduction of the flag
of the Island, which flag he also modeled
as a member of the provisional govern
ment. The atamp and flag are quartered
by a cross. 4
Stamps of British Africa have a cross
emblasofied on a black shield and be
neath the inscription 'TAght In Darkness."
Crosses of the maltese type appear on
some of the stamps of the island of Malta.
The Latin cross, In whloh form the cross
piece. Is near the top. Is portrayed on
various stamps. The British West Indian
Island colony Montserrat Issued a stamp
In 19U6, showing a female figure clinging
to a Latin cross. A stamp of Venezuela
shows the discoverers of the mainland of
South America gathered about a Latin
cross which they have planted upon the
shore. There Is also a Latin cross on
the stamp of the Dominican republic, be
ing a part of the coat of arm.
Brasll has a stamp commemorating Its
discovery, above tne scene on which Is a
cross, or crosspatte, which Is a cross with
the ends of the amis spread. The same
cross I shown on the sail of ship pictured
on tha Vasco da Gama Issue of stamps of
Portugal. In U92, Portugal issued a dis
tinctive stamp for tha Red Cross society,
carrying mail for that organisation free of
charge. The frame of this cross Is black
with a red cross ahown on a white shield.
There are frequent other Instances of the
recognition of rellgloua principles In the
design of postage stamps. The United
Btatea the laud of all lands of religious
liberty has no example of thla, the nearest
approach being on a stamp of the Trans
miaalsslppl Iwue of lUe. showing Father
Marquette teaching the Indians.
Turkish stamps bear the star and crescent
which are symbolical of religious Idea to
tba Turk. Among the curious looking
stamps of Afghanistan arc some showing
tha door of a mosque, below which are
crossed cannon. Mythological gods and
goddesses are largely In evidence on
Grecian s Vamps, and appear occasionally
on those of other lands, but are generally
employed for their artistic value, or, as
In the case of Mercury, for the association
with the postal service of the Ideaa they
symbolise,
Brasll has a stamp showing a portion of
the heavens. In which appears the beautt.
ful constellstlon known as "tha southern
cross "
The group of stamps illustrating rellgloua
Ideb. taken with the crosa stamps to which
they are ao closely akin, make a most Inter
esting study, and some philatelists embody
these in a separata collection. There are
few classes of stamps that are really worth
while gathering that ran be gotten to
gether in such number, as readily and as
cheaply aa these, for which very good
reason this interesting collection Is as
popular with the economical amateur as It
Is absorbing to tbs veteran philatelist.

NEW YORK. Dec. 21 -One factor in
the present stringency of the money
market which seems to have been
overlooked by the wise one who don't
know how It happened, is the Christmas
flow of good American cash to Europe.
This year Its volume Is greater than ever
before, and the clerks In the money order
department of the poetofflce have been
working overtime for a month to keep up
with the rush. So far more than I2.CM3.0.0
ha been added to the Christmas fund
of the old countries by relatives and friends
here. The Celtic, which soiled on December
12, carried the largest mall ever sent
from New York. It consisted of 4,0SJ
sacks, containing 80,594 registered articles
and 4,187 articles In the parcels post. It
Included money orders which reached a
total of $9i.04S.8 In 6S.863 orders, an aver
age of IL6.60 each. The largest amount,
$378,638, went to Great Britain; Luxemburg
got $136, the smallest sum, while other
small amount wsnt to Egypt and Portu
gal. To Italy went the second largest
sum, 1143,973. Sweden came third with
$S8,000; Austria got $2.000; Hungary. JNO.00O;
Germany, $86,000; Norway, W.00O; Den
mark. $18,000; Swltxerland, $10,000; France,
$8,000; Belgium, $5,000, while the thrifty
Dutchmen sent back to the land of dykes
only $1000.
The local custom house and appraiser's
stores have never had a busier year than
that Just closing, and the officials predict
that the government's revenues for this
year will be higher than ever before. I.st
year th commerce of the city reached
the enormou total of $1.420,S23.9i. Includ
ing the exports and Import of both mer
chandise and bullion. For the first eleven
months of the present year the transac
tions aggregate $1.271.407.1135, and It I ex
pected that the trade movement of the
month of December will Increase the total
to $1,501,846,957, or $81,03,871 more than lust
year. At the custom house It Ib estimated
that on December 81 the duties collected
during the year will amount to at leant
$200,000,000. Last year the revenue from
this source was $183,752,315, against $170,
270,77$ In 1904. Those fig-urea show to what
an extent New Y'ork serves as the clearing
houne of the foreign trade of the country.
In the first eleven months of 1896 the total
exports and Imports through this port had
a value of only $731. 3-9,861, against more
than a billion and a quarter so far this
year, in a total of a little more than $3,000,
000,000 for the entire country.
Among other things for the amusement
of out-of-town visitors, the entertainment
menu this year Includes two grand operas
In which the rivalries of the stars are not
always confined to the stage. Slgnors
Caruso and Bond have Just concluded a
merry war in which they recklessly hurled
at each other figures representing their re
spective salaries. Considering the number
and size of the figures, It Is remarkable
that no more harm was done. Just now
the group which Is occasioning the moat
comment from habitues of Broadway
Is a galaxy of some eight or ten operatic
stars, representing at least five different
nationalities, who are all stopping at tha
Hotel Astor on Longacre square. Included
In the number are, Pol Plancon. Ales
sandro Bonct, Mde. Emma Eames, Miss
Bessie Abbot, Mde. da Clsneros, Renaud,
the new baritone; Morltx Rosenthal and
Yvette Gullbert. So far, no blood has been
shed, In fact. In seeming defiance of all
traditions to the contrary, these celebrities
are dwelling together In the utmost peace
and harmony under the same roof, while,
as If to fling the gauntlet In the very face
of fate, Oscar Hummersteln and Herr
Helnrlch Conreid, rival managers of this
musical constellation, may frequently be
seen lunching or dining In the same room.
"enifil to her desirable, r-prriiilly If I f
could be nhtalmd at the expend- nf New
York; but the latest demand from the
City by the Lake has been something of a
facer for all that. It l nothing lew that,
the claim of one Mr. Laura K. Skeels t
the Manhattan waterfront of the Harlem
river, which, through a reputable firm of J
all street attorneys, she asserts IS nerp
by virtue of a royal grant made to certain
of her ancestors In li'ffl. At that time the
chief products of the region were scalps,
war whoops and wildcats; now they are
high rents. The property Included In the
claim, which extends clear across Manhat
tan Island at Us widest part, has become
enormoualy valuable within comparatively
recent years, for the Harlem river is now
a very Important link In the city's system
of waterways, and Is lined on either side
with valuable dock and manufacturing
altea. If Mrs. Skeel succeeds In proving
her claim, and It Is now receiving the
serious consideration of the corporation
counsel, she will become the wealthiest
landholder In the country, which has long
been a position enjoyed by the Astor
eetate.
The four-master schooner. William Not
tingham, out of Port Townsend, Wash., on
June 24, with the biggest cargo of lumber
that ever came around the Horn, put Into
New York harbor one day last week with
a chapter of accidents to Its credit that
would be a genuine Inspiration to W. Clark
RiiRsell or any other chronicler of the sea.
While -the vessel was loading st Port
Townsend one of the crew stabbed the cap
tain four times In the back. But the "old
man" Is only 29 years old and speedily re
covered. After 700 big sticks of Oregon
pine, some of them more than 100 feet long
and three feet In diameter, had been loaded,
the vessel put to sea, and sixty days after
ward sprung a leak off the coast of South
America. For a time the donkey engine
served to keep It free of water, but on
September 24 It ran Into an Iceberg ten
miles long, lost Its foreyard In the col
lision and was nearly submerged by the
weight of Ice that came aboard. After
that It leaked worse than ever, and It re
quired the best efforts of Its crew of six
men at the hand pumps to keep afloat.
For three daya the vessel tacked about the
Falkland Islands, playing tag with the Ice
bergs, and then made Its way slowly up
the Atlantic coast, leaking more and more
every gale It encountered. At this port It
gave up the fight with the wind and waves
and consented to be towed to Its destina
tion by an unromantlo steam tug. After
discharging Its cargo In Boston, It Will re
turn to New York and load with oil for
Sydney. Its first mate thinks he will make
that voyage, but says that the next time
he learns that It Is to go around the Horn
with a cargo of lumber he intends to look
for another berth. ,

A nsw problem Is interesting the statis
ticians, who take pleasure In figuring on
the growth of New York In population.
That la, the question of how the city will
be affected by the transportation and
terminal movements resulting, from the
expenditure of hundreds of millions of dol
lars now being made by the railroads en
tering the city. While this will develop
the metropolitan area as a whole so that
the statisticians predict that New York
will pass London as the World's metropo
lis by 1PJ0, the fact that the greatest oi
these Improvements will facilitate transit
to New Jersey, Is likely to deprive the city
proper of tens of thousands of its Inhab
itants, who will be lost to it so far as the
census returns will Indicate. The com
pletion of four great tunnels under tha
North river, with the possible addition of
the world's greatest bridge spanning It,
will result In drawing a tremendous num
ber of New Yorkers to the hills and shores
of New Jersey, which will thus be brought
Into close and direct touch with the me
tropolis. A writer In the New York Sun
predicts that this exodus to the Oaiden
State will be the greatest movement erf Its
kind that has ever occurred. Of course
New York's loss will be New Jersey's gain.
and the distribution of population br Its
numeroua trolley lines will convert the
whole northern end of the state into a
practically continuous suburban city.
REFILLING THESALTON SEA
Vast Interest Imperilled br the
Second Break In Colorado
River.
After having spent over $1,000,000 and
year and a half of work, the Colorado river
haa against burst Its original bbunds and Is
flowing Into the Salton sea, rendering use
less the effort of Southern Pacific engineers
to stop the break. The work will have to
be done over In a new spot and at a much
greater outlay of time and means. To
the new task the engineers are now bending
their energies. According to conservative
estimates, not less than 1:5,000,000 In present
values are at stake on the success of the
second effort. Settlers In the Imperial
valley have given up practically all hope
of saving their rich farm lands from In
undation. As most of these farms lie from
seventy to 200 feet below sea level, there Is
little prospect of the waters being drained
off unless government engineers evolve
plan to turn the river back Into Its chan
nel.
Where today are rich towns and prosper
ous farms, the future seems to portend only
a huge salt inland sea, hemmed In by
mountains. The city of Imperial will be
from fifty to seventy feet under water
should the water not be dammed shortly
The transcontinental line of the Southern
Pacific Is 'doomed already. Orders were
Issued today to rush 2,000,000 ties and rails
to Mecca to build a new line beyond the
mountain ranges for a distance of forty
miles. Gangs of men have been ordered
to begin operations immediately upon re
ceiving Instructions from General Manager
Calvin.
Southern faclflc off.clals are of the opinion
that the railroad will give up the struggle
with the waters, ss It Is estimated that
(2,000,000 more would be required In a second
attempt to turn the river back Into Its old
channel. Even then there Is no assurance
of the permanency of the work. Should th
Southern Pacific abandon the fight the en
tire region Is doomed unless the govern
ment will take Immediate steps.
To add to the gravity of the situation.
the river may scour Its way back through
Deep canyon and carry away the $3,000,000
government dam at Laguna, ten mile
above Yuma.
Should this dam go out no human agency
can raise water from the liver to irrigate
the surrounding lands again, for It will
speedily cut a channel from eighty to 100
feet deep through the yielding silt, leaving
the farm and fruit orchard high above
water.

vocate of temperance. At Fort Mcintosh,
In a talk with some privates, he said re
cently: "Of course. If men want to drink, they
can always find some excuse for drinking.
"I once knew a New York man who
drank entirely too much. His doctor, in
order to moderate his tippling, ordered him
to take more light beer and less strong
wine to every quart of beer not more than
a pint of wine at the outside.
"The patient said to me one evening a
week afterward, aa he rang fur a bottle
of champagne:
" "What a bore! I've drunk eight glasses
of beer today, and now I've got to get
away with four glasses of wine. Doctor's

First Symptoms of Men's Diseases
If we could aee and treat all men when the first symptom
show themselves there would sl.ii be little need of so-called spe
cialists In chronic dlsesses, and there would be few men seeking
a rejuvenation of their physical and mental powers, and there
would also be few sufferers from Nervous Debility, Blood Tolson,
Rectal, Kidney aud Bladder Diseases and their complications. But
aa long as men continue to disregard the golden adage, "A stitch
In time saves nine," and continue to neglect themselves, or exer
cise Indifference or poor Judgment in securing the right treat
ment at the outset, Just so long will there be multitudes of
chronic sufferers
You should carefully avoid all uncertain, experimental, dan
gerous or half-way treatment, fur upon the success of the first
treatment depends whether you will be promptly restored ta
health again, with all taint of the poisonous disease removed
from your system, pr whether It will be allowed to become
chronic and subject you to future recurrence of the disease, wlta.
