It Ih u source of prldo, a well M
pleasure, to our people that there ar*
o many public exhibits anil museums
in tho national eapltal for tho enter-
tainment uml Instruction of vlsiturs.
The massive Hmltlisonlun institution
ranks us one of the llnest museums in
tho world, oovcrlnff every branch of
art nn<l science. In the navy yard there
la a building eoutulnliiff u collection of
Mies identlflod with tho army and

partments possess interesting exhibits
of their own which reveal to the in-
quiring public the nature and condition
of tho business with which they are in-
dividually connected. Tho patent office
possesses a large and valnablo museum
consisting of models of Inventions, tho
fruits of tho labor and ingenuity of
mankindi the treasury department lias
A rogue's gallery containing pictures
of professional counterfeiters who liavo
been apprehended and brought to jus-
tice, and an exhibit of tiro latest im-
provements in life-saving apparatus;
the navy department has its exhibition
of models of vessels of our navy, unsur-
passed for magniiiccncc and attractive-
ness; while In the war department ejtn
bo seen an exhibit of the latest invent-
lvo development in rifles and carbines
Used by tho infantry of the army, and
also manikins of infantry and cavalry
men dressed in tho official uniforms
worn at various periods of our national
existence.
Tho post office department has re-
cently established a museum which
ranks among the iifaest in the city.
Postmaster Oeneral Wanainaker, under
the Harrison administration, ilrst con-
ceived the Idea of providing a perma-
nent exhibit for the post office depart-
ment. Nothing elaborate, however,
was done towards establishing the inn-
•cum until after an exhibit had been
Kent to tho world's fair at Chicngo.
Postmaster General ltissdl, as noon as
he bccamo the head of the department,
took an actlvo Interest in bringing
about a consummation of tho plans laid
down by Ills predecessor. Tho work of
arranging tho exhibition was placed in
tho hands of two experienced employes
of the department, and was completed
about the middle of October, 1804, when
the museum was opened to the public.
The museum occupies a large room on
tho around floor of tho post oliico de-
partment building; a room which was
for many years used by our city post
office.
Of course, this museum is interesting
to tho general public; but the visitors
who seem to predominate nro the stamp
collectors, to whom the museum ap-
pears to bo a veritable Mecca. Inter-
ested parties may hero find specimens
of every kind of stamp used by the na-
tions of the world. None of tho stamps
ere In books, but are arranged in beau-
tiful glass eases. Tho most conspicu-
ous of all Is the collection of United
States stamps showing tho Issue from
1847 to 1803. They are placed ill pan-
els, each panel containing ono series,
and all of them arvanged in an immense
gilt frame fastened to tho wall. A
beautiful effect la produced by the
artistic manner in which thoy are dis-
played.
A full Bet of tho Columbian stamps
issued in 1803 form a part of this col-
lection, anil ou cither side, Inclosed by
the blending colors of tho different is-
sues of stamps, are pictures of Post-
masters General Watmmakor and llis-
sell, while at tho lower edgo of the
frame is a portrait of ex-Third Assistant
Postmaster General Ilazcn, who was
for twenty yeara in charge of the issu-
ance of postage stamps for tlie depart-
ment. A flue display Is also mado of
Itumpod envelopes Issued from 1853 to
1803, and there Is a frame full of offi-
cial envelopes of all Issues during that
period. Very many of these official
envelopes aro now usod instead of the
old department stamps.
Perhaps tho finest collection of for-
eign stamps in tho world is tho one
displayed in tills musoum. In eases on
tho cast and west walls, classified as to
tho different countries and many of
them grouped la artistic designs. It is
% noticeable fact that tho majority of
them nro on thinner and better paper
than ours, and few of them are larger
than our Columbian stamp. With tho
exception of tho Great Britain exhibit,
•11 tlio foreign stamps were contributed
uncanceled so that tho Individual fea-
tures are plainly visible, which makes
them all tho more valuable as a collec-
tion. Ik-sides tho contributions of
•tamps many of the foreign nations
have contributed .large exhibits which
•how la detail tho workings of their
am 11 systems, and thcio form an Im-
portant part of the museum.
Jest In front of the door leading lata
tho innseuin room is n life-stzo rcpro.
leutatlon of the almost obaelvte pony
express. The rider is seated on a life-
tlio horse; he wears a large sombrer«
lint and is dressed in clothes typical ot
the western frontier districts where
this style of postal delivery was so long
in vogue. The postman carries large
revolvers in hLi licit. At the rear of
tho saddle, and tightly fastened to It,
Is the mall bag. This ilguro of •
mounted postman represent* the man-
ner of mall carrying which prevailed
when Buffalo Hill was a boy, aud be-
fore the Pacific railroads spanned tho
continent.
Probably the most beautiful object In
the whole collection Is the model of tho
great ocean greyhound, City of Paris,
built at a cost of 97,000 und donated to
tho government for use in this exhibit.
It is pluccd In the museum with a model
of the old Southerner, which was tho
first steamship to carry United State*
mail across tho Atlantic. A striking
contrast Is formed by tho exhibition of
these models of the first and last of tho
ocean mall Btcamcrs. There aro several
other models of mall ships, and among
them is a One specimen of tho flat-bot-
tom steamer* which aro used in the
thallow waters of Florida.
Whilo a pleasing picture is formed by
tlio exhibition of the models of tho
City of Paris and tho Southerner, it
might be said that another contrast U
effected In the exhibition of a rough
toboggan sled and a miniature railway
car, representing probably tho slowest
and fastest method of carrying our
mall to-day. These toboggans are used
In Michigan and other northern state*
to carry mail over tho country when
the land is covered with snow. The
model is realistic in shape. The dogs,
threo in number, aro stuffed speci-
mens, and saw actual service In Michi-
gan, having been killed to be exhibited
with the toboggan at tho world's fair.
They are attended by an Indian wear-
ing snowshocs and dressed In clothes
of multifarious colors. Tho miniature
railway postal car is ono of the hand-
somest models in tlio exhibition. It la
complete in every detail and was built
by tho government at a cost of (3,000.
It Is one-fifth of tho slie of tho regula-
tion postal car. The top of tho modi.4
Is removablo to reveal tho insldo work-
ings of this swift-moving post office.
One portion is fitted up with cots nnd
reserved aa a sleeping apartment for
tho clerks, while the remainder is filled
with desks, tables, shelves and pouches
to receivo tho mall as it is distributed.
Miniature elcctric light lamps aro also
shown In the model.
To see the exhibit of locks which have
lieen invented to protect mnll pouches
one would think it impossible for rob-
bers to procure any booty from a railway
mall car even after the train has been
held up and an entrance effectod. This

To makeeven this pittance they have
to start at aeven or eight in the morn-

There Is a general belief that Japan
Is a poor country; that a long wai
would exhaust her more than many
other countries—China, for example.
Probably the Idea originated In the
extreme lowness of prices in Japan,
but that is no criterion. Living it
cheaper in London than in Ilong
Kong, but nobody calla London ■
poorer place on that account As a
matter of fact, Japan is now rapidly
becoming self-supplying, and, there-
fore, need have little fear of exhaus-
tion. She lias money enough for all
requirements; her taxation is very
light, yet her revenue leaves a surplui
over expenditures every year; her im-
ports about balnnce her exports, and
both are increasing yearly, and are
not suffering In the least from the
war. When the accumulated surplus
(about forty million yen) had ail been
voted away In war expenses a war
loan of thirty million yen, and now an-
other one of one hundred and fifty
million, have been readily raised with-
out causiug any appreciable disloca-
tion. Government bonds were about
six per cent, premium In the begin-
ning of the year, when there was a dis-
tinct boom in the market; now, when
the war has gone on three months, the
surplus been spent and the loans been
raised, they are still at a three per
cent premium, with an upwurd ten-
dency. The country is not poor in
any sense of the word. The land,
though of hardly larger extent than
England, nnd in some parts too
mountainous for cultivation, supports
a population of forty million, and pro-
duces a rice crop which is usually
larger than the whole grain crop of
Russia.—N. Y. Ledger.
A Clever Fox.
Some yenrs ago while hunting in
nortliurn Michigan I tried, with the aid
of a professional trapper, to entrap a
fox who made nightly visits to a spot
where the entrails of a deer had been
thrown. Although we tried every ex-
pedient that suggested itself to us we
were unsuccessful, and, what seemed
very singular, we always found the
trap sprung. My companion insisted
that the animal dug beneath It, and,
putting his paw beneath the jaw, would
push down the pan with safety to him-
self, but, though the appearance
seemed to confirm it, I could hardly
credit his explanation. Another year,
in another locality of the same region,
an old and experienced trapper as-
aured me of its correctness, and said in
confirmation that he had several times
caught them, after they had made two
or three successful attempts to spring
the trap, by the simple expedient of
setting It upside down, when, of
course, the act of undermining and
touching the pan would bring the paw
within the grasp of the jaws.—Mr.
Crehorc, of Boston, In Mature.

CRITICAL STAGE REACHED.

WAfMlNciToa, April 2a — Officials and
diplomats regard the answer of Lord
Kiinberly to Nicaragua as bringing
tho llritlsh- Xicuraguan question to ■
critical stage. The ultimatum ex
pircd two days ago. Under theso
circumstances it is considered
tied that Great llritain will now
proceed to collect the debt, ai
it is viewed from the Ilritish stand-
point The fact that Great llritain's
cxcrcise of force will not be exerted so
as to affect the United States' inter-
ests Is indicated by the fact that neither
the state department nor Sir Julian
Pauncefote has been notified of Lord
Kimberly's response. It is said such
notification would be given if United
States' interests were to be even re-
motely imperiled.

SENATOR ALLISON'S VIEWS.
Tba Iowa Senator Favors lllnietalllam by
International Agreement.
Mailsiiai.i.towx, Ia., April 20.—The
banquet by the traveling men last
night was a great success. Covers
were laid for 150 guests, and they rep-
resented not only traveling men, but
the local workers in the republican
club. Senator Allison talked vigor-
ously and was greeted with hearty
cheers.
Senator Allison believes in bimetal-
lism by international agreement. The
demonetization of silver in 1873, he
said, was not to make money scarce, as
gold was more plentiful from the In-
crease in California, and it was then
considered that it wonld continue, as
silver was swept away largely into all-
ver countries.
