The fund of 82,500,000, which Mr. Pcabody, the American philanthropist, left for the poorof London, now nuounts to over $5,000,000. Some ono who wished to tiy experi ments with the I'nited States mail ser vice recently succeeded in sending a note through the mails on the back of a two tent stamp. This encouraged others to try the same experiment, and two-ceut stamps, with a short note on the back of each, were receutly taken out of the basket at the Hartfor 1 (Conn.) l'ostoliice. Postmaster Kinney thought it a good time to see whether this little fun could be legitimately encouraged, and wrote to the Washington authorities. The reply was that stamps treated in this fashion were not mailable matter. The Govern ment evidently did not intend them to usurp the place of the postal cards. In one respect, asserts the Chicago JlenU'l, Ireland receives her brightest recognition in Chili. The newest iron clad is the Captain Prat, another beiug the O'Higgius and anr.ther the Atniranto Lynch. The O'Higgins is named after Bernardo O'lliggins, whose father, born in a laborer's cottage in the County "VVestmeath, emigrated to South America in the early part of the last century and ro;;c to distinction in different parts of that continent. The father, Amoroso, was one of the last Spanish viceroys of Peru, and the son, Licrnardo, was the first director of the Republic cf Chili. Bernardo O'lliggins is the Washington of his country, lie it was who was mainly instrumental in winning the inde pendence of Chili at the beginning of this century, and the grateful country has given his name to a province and a war-ship and has erected a statue in his honor in its capital. In a recent issue of Fran i Leslie Ntwspaper reference was made to the fact that forged pictures, purporting to be works of the greatest artists, were not uncommonly offered for sale. A singular proof of this statement was tecently called to the attention of that publica tion. An amateur collector, who has a number of fine pictures which he has bought both in this country and abroad, recently received a letter from an art dealer in Brussels, offering to sell him, at a very low figure, several works painted by a pupil of a celebrated artist, and said to be exact imitations of tho master's ttyle. The dealer said that it only re mained to place the name of the master upon the pictures in order to have them pass as genuine and expensive paintings. To facilitate this suggested fraud, the Brussels dealer offered to forward an ex act autograph of the master, and added that the signature could be easily copied Jjfon the pictures. Of course the offer was spurned by the gentlemen to whom it was addressed. But how many times las it been accepted, and how many forged, paintings have been palmed off upon the public in this wayf There are a large number of words which, until recently, have escaped the attention of lexicographers. In the text of the Encyclopaedia Britannica there are 10,000 words which vhavo never been formerly entered and dcSned in any dic tionary. In the Century Dictionary there are 70,000 words found in no other. This fact shows the unrealized wealth of the English language. It takes a child several vears to acquire 1000 words. The average illiterate person never uses more than from 1000 to 2000 words. Intelligent persons, even those engaged in the learned professions, do not make use of more than from 6000 to '8000 words all told, although there are properly belonging to the English lan guage over 225,000. The Shakespearean standard was less than 2500 words, not -; counting those that are compounded and bvDbtnated. However, the famous ' writer or authority of to-day, whether he - t S iuei words to express nice shades of meaning op as technical tools of thought f,tyi J hi own department, must have at his command a vocabulary of from 30,000 to 40,000 words, the latter being the maxi- ; mum acquired by an; man now living. .

(ionuinc amber is by no means 60 plentiful as it w;is some years ago, and umber cigar holders and pipo stems will probably rise in price. The genu ine amber is a fossil gum, which was produced in large quantities by trees having a resinous sap, which flowed down the trunks and collected in masses at tho root. It is found in the ground of marshes and other places where forests flourished in formor times, and is also obtained by dredg ing. The German Ocean, Baltic and Black Sas formerly produced it in great quantities, but tiio supply is con stantly decreasing, and, unless other tields are discovered, real ainbor will soon be scarce and costly. There is soino satisfaction in knowing that the imitation is just as good in every way, so that even if the real nmbergives out Here need be no diminution in tho i u iibL-r of holders for cigars or mouth pieces for pipes. In this country com paratively little is used save for this purpose, but in India and China large lumps are in great demand, for, from 8 ine cause, an ainbor idol is far more , , , , . highly esteemed than a go.dcn image, mid so the best amber all goes to the East to be made into gods for the pagans.

Od6 may sometimes be made to see the nselesaness of a foolish habit by be ing made the victim of similar behavior on the part of another. Here is an ex ample uf beiDg paid "in one's own coin:" A landlord in a country village was busily employed at his desk, when a farmer came to the door, and asked to see him. The man was asked his errand, but he persisted that he must see the hotel keoner aloDe. The latter stepped out side, when the farmer motioned him to follow, and walked around to the rear of the hotel. When they were well around the w ner, the farmer stated that he wished to buy a cow, and had heard that the landlord had one to sell. "Come on," said the other, and lea the way through a garden, 2 patch of potatoes, and after climbing a fence, through a muddy barn-yard and into the hotel barn. When they were inside, the landlord put his mouth near the other's ear aud whispered: "Say, neighbor, I've sold my cow!" Mo Lymph. Mrs. Blinkers 1 hear Dr. Curem has got back from Berlin.
