$2,500 BED OF
POSTAGJ) STAMPS
Bureau Worth 91,000 and Little
Table $850, All Covered With
United States Stickers.
Philadelphia, Feb. 29. When Robert
Blanken retires, he goes to sleep in a
bed which, outside of the value of wood,
is worth $2,600. He keeps his collars,
shirts and other apparel, in a bureau
worth ' probably $1,000. The table by
which he sits as he reads or studies In
the eveninsr he values at something
like $875.
Mr. ' Blanken Is -not an unusually
wealthy man, but he has a fad. Every
inch of the three pieces of furniture,
Including the eastern nt thn henri sn.l
bureau. Is covered With a United States
postage stamp.
It has taken him eight years to c6m
plete the work. of covering his furni
ture During that time he has col
lected and used 75,500 of the little
pieces of paper which carrV letters
through Uncle Sam's malls. They rang

either side .are the dates 1776 and 1898,

Mr. Blanken probably has. one of the
most complete collections of Columbian
stamps in existence. Three thousand of

furniture. He also has 606 ikmn nt
the Buffalo exposition Issue, , On the
top of the table Is a circle of messenger
bots cut from special delivery stamps
All, these were obtained from an Arch
street coffin firm, and originally were
on letters with rush orderfor coffins.'

und whi' re .Intermediate . amides are
wanted, the foliage plants in thefr datt
cate colorings are to.he had. '
The cabbage rose nat is one of the
new models. The trimming "thht
hat consists of one linmenau rose -on
either side of. the hat, surrounded by
row after, row; -of silk ribbon cut in
the same 'shape- as the rose petal
so that It is impossible for the', casual
observer to tell Just where the rose
stops and the. ribbon begins. It is a
good style for the Kosa City ' dweller,
and makes a pleasing picture. This
model is brought still further up to
date by the ornamental pins stuck in
the front, which are representations cf
the dlabolo game, with the small double
cone set in rhlnestones suspended be
tween them.
The black tulle and leghorn hat with
the sweeping black ostrich plume Is
simple In construction . and yet of de
cided distinction as to style. The band
which , surrounds the crown Is of or
namental straw and cold embroidery
and is effective against the black tulle
of the shirred crown. It is correct
this season to have 'the plumes follow
One "another about the hat and vfall
With graceful sweep upon the hair.
Profusion of Colors.1
, Tho beautiful willow plume is the
distinctive feature of the square
crowned model which Is worn by the
young woman in the Illustration. The
material of which this light hat is
made is of two shades of tulle adroit
ly managed, the effect of the one over
the other producing a changeable tone
which is skilfully matched by the
mouse-coIorM plume. The two hat
pins used for ornament are set with
rhlnestones.
The flower -hat is one of the fav
orites this year. The idea 'is . used
for rnnny of the most effective tur
bans, and is also pleasing in the larger
styles here shown. The crown of this
hsrt- lit, of fm get-nienots So closely let
that no other trimming appears except
the green fruit with foliage which fur
nishes the side.
The aigrette effect is had with a
bunch of white field flowers of dainty
manufacture. The brim is composed
of tulle. The dainty and summery ef
fect is carried out, In many of the
new models in which tulle and point
d'esprit are largely used.
Indeed the lightness of the materials
and the perfection to which' flower
making has tn brought are the two
most striking features Of - the -spring
millinery. The hats here reproduced

or cleverly executed mosaic of pink
and green. Probably the handsomest de
sign Is that on the headboard of the
bed. It is an American shield, only
three lnche In height and one and a
quarter inches in width, but it contains
pieces of 250 stamps.
The .most valuable stamp of the lot
is u a reveuue Hutmp iHHuea during

Mr. Blanken. who is a draughtsman
for the J. G. Brill Car company, began

Little Howard Elliott Is "the Light

Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 29. Not many
a lad In the land could subsist on a
diet of "one egg a day," but it has
proved sufficient for Howard, the little
son of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Elliott, of
4443 North Uber street, who celebrated
his eighth birthday yesteMay.
Physicians have been puzzling their
brains about this strange case for many
months, for It has seemed gueer to them
that a boy could exist on so slim a
ration. But it is a necessity for How
ard Elliott, for his organs are so weak
that he cannot digest any heavier food.
So, he eats an egg every day.
The boy -lp a bit stronger than he
used to be, ,and he has a brain that
would well fit a lad of twice his years.
A diet of one egg dally seems to de
velop the gray matter, for Howard
makes all the Other boys in his depart
ment at school hustle sdme if thev are

Fftysically he Is deficient, for his

New York, Feb. 29. New York Is to
have the largest concrete bfTdge Span
in the world, when the proposed Henry
Hudson memorial bridge overt Spuyten
Duyvil creek is.rfiompleted. The central
span of that structure Is to be 703 feet
In the clear. In steel there exists a
longer arch, that of the upper Niagara
span, which measures $40. feet. The
nearest approach In a concrete bridge
to the Henry Hudson span is the Grun
wald structure at Munich, with a span
of 230 feet. This new bridge is also

One reason advanced for this is the
greater convenience of the cigarette. It
has been noticed aJso. that at a number
of fashionable "StsV- dinners this win
ter the cigarettes TvaVe been very popu
lar. A few years ago.it was customary
at these dinners to give out a lew
cigars and lay a, cigarette at each plate.
But It is now the practice to give an
entire box of cigarettes to eacn person,
the entire contents of which are smoked
between the different oourses.
The thousands of men and women
who fight for places in the subway
trains every night, during the rush
hours, have realized tbut the struggle
resembled a fierce football game, but
It remained for Dr. Welzmiller, physical
director of the West Side Y. M. C. A.,
to tell them tjjat hanging onto a strap,
with only space enough to stand on
one foot, was next to taking a regular
exercise In a gymnasium. Dr. Welz
mlller explained carefully that It all
depended on tne point or view mai one
tok of the matter. In short, if one
Is to get real gymnastic -exercise for
half an kour he must be an optimist.
He must forget that he is In the sub
way, must forget that someone is con
stantly stepping on his toes or Jabbing
him In the ribs, and hang onto the
strap first with the right hand and
then the left. In this way men and
women, according to the doctor, will
find the ride pleasant, and get suffi
cient exercise, not only to keep them
In condition, but make them enjoy their
dinner when they get home. f
Close upon the heels of Dr. Welsmil
ler's subway-gymnasium srtieme. has
come the report from London that it is
proposed there to run separate cars f&r
women only, during the rush hours, so
that they rosy hdt have to fight for
places with men and boys. The same
scheme has been proposed in New York,
but it is probable that. the result of the
experiment in London will be watched,
and if it works satisfactorily, it may
be tried on Manhattanitea.
New York went the extremes In fires
last week, when a small blaze occurred
on the fortieth floor of the new Singer
building, and at the same time a car In
the subway caught fire. The fire in
the Singer building was not serious, but
it established the record for the highest
fire Gotham ever had. It was a sight
to see while it lasted, and had it been
more serious, it would have been a
splendid test for New York's fire de
partment in dealing with the lofty sky-
scraners. The subway fire was not
serious either, and no one was hurt,
but the car was run while it was ablaze
from Worth street to the city hall,
where the flames were extinguished.
An Irishman frem County Clare, who
had been in this country- but a- week,
was arrested a few days ago In New
York because he tried to mall some let
ters in a fire alarm box. He was still
trying to mail them, in spite of the
bussing of the clockwork inside when
the hook and ladder -arrived. The man
from County Clare was discharged in
court the following morning, when the
magistrate, with a twinkle In his eye,
said, "Was that box green?"
"No. but it oughter been," said the
man from County Clare. '

goers. The play had not been produced
since 1881. and afforded an excellent
basis of comparison Vetween the humor
of that period and the present. The

theatregoers who witnessed the elder
Bothern In this play, and the majority
of them seemed to get as much Amuse

The honk of the automobile is the lat

the pawnbroker's heart Not long ago
a big pawnshop was moved to open an
automobile department, and hired a spe

known Interest rate the housechargea
garage fees of $12 to $16 a month for

Residents of the Bronx were given
as much excitement a few days ago as
was ever afforded a crowd of people
at a country fair, where the chief at
traction Is a greased pig. One hundred
pigs, however, instead of one, made a
dash from their pen, when it caught
fire; and started off at a mad pace
through the streets. Those in the
neighborhood took up the chase, and
soon helpers began to pour in from all
sides, for the combined squealing of
100 porkers attracted more attention
than a general fire alarm.'
