This swindle originated in the fertile
brain of n postage stamp collector at
Slsttin, Germany. He deaired to get vast
collections to sort out and sell again, and
hit upon a plan to ast the whole civilised
world to go to foshior him free of chaise-
He preyed upon the sympathise of the
people by announcing that an orphan
would hs esadd ty In the “Syrian Orphan
Boom” for every 1,000,000 of stampe sent
to him. This worked well, and the next
dodge was tbs starting of a mythical
mission in Chins, the Holy Sister of
which Sg(ee4. for every ,1.000.000 stampe

crocodiles of the Yellow riverftt least on
Chinese and then educate and ;
christianise iu The stampe are to be
sent, not to Jeranlam or China, but to ,
Munich or Stettin.
The last claim on the sympathy of the
world that has been mads by this Ger
man is that for 1,000,000 stampa a good |
home for an old lady or an old gentleman
will be provided in one of the three homes '
—out in London, another in New York
awl tbs third in Cincinnati. For 800,-
000 stampa abed will be endowed in a 1
hospital, and for 100,000.a borne wUI be '
found for an orphan for one year. There
art agencies in various cities to forward \
stamps to Stettin. It is estimated that
this swindler has collected over 100,000,-
000 stamps in the United States alone, 1
and that these were worth from $500,000 '
to three times that amount.

the mouth and tongue does not approve
of. Now, take a cup of ditch water con
taining several typhoid germs, more or
less animacule and a few wiggle-tails and
see if the mouth objects. Not at all. If
dark you will not know but what it is

that frightens so many people and see if
it burns the mouth or tastes bitter, or
sour, or strong, or in any way destroys

they are frightened at a piece of grass or
s wiggler that baa no power to harm an
1 infant. Boiling water or filtering it to
get rid of imaginary imparities is another
imposition palmed off on an unsuspecting
public, that needs ventilating. If it is
because it contains alkali, know, oh, de
fied -mortal, that alkali is not removed
by boUlfrg; also know that only a trace
at alkali is fouml in our water and that
tfrfr* human system contains alkali. So
do not be frightened. If yon boil to kill
some animal life that the wise man told
yon was sorely there, remember that soon
after boiled water cools it resumes its ,
former conditions. In filtering water,

other ssbstaaces used Rs s filter and
some passes through. That which ia ]

which peases through are exactly alike.
The time and Anxiety that has been
spent and endured over thee* imaginary
demons is almost, beyond belief. Once
the doctors would not. Ist their patients
drink water. Now they don’t want well
people to. But once upon a time a sick
mao who had been prohibited frdm
drinking it daring a fever became deliri
ous and got oat oC bed and drank a pail
foil and got well in spite of the doctor
and bis drags. So then the doctor said,
“in fever water ia very good." So after
the people—just common, plain looking
people without diplomas or any frills or
extra good look*—all tell the doctor* and
fellows with the microscope and the
stethoscope « |W * thermometer ■««> things,
that It is not patching; that a disinfectant
is a fraud; that ditch water is harm less;
that wel) wafer is good and healthy, they,
the doctor*, wUI then declare they knew
it all the time.
Now that man has usurped the land
and staked it off 1 into lots, the only things
that we might enjoy without money is
air and water and one we shut out with
doors; the other we refuse to drink be
cause of ignorance. If some one would
farm an air and wafer trust and charge
SI.OO per square yard for air and $l4O
per gallon for water some people would
use enough to keep healthy.
