oepté unhesitatingly the most irrational and
degrading of superstitions: and it is dim-
cult to say which is the mom pitiable, the
elavery in which this vicc holds its feeble
victims, or the grow superstitions which
:hey believe.
There. could be notl.. .3; more utterly im-
probable than that Cbinamen should long
for defaced postage stamps. Nevertheless.
nearly all stamp collectors firmly believe
that somewhere in the centre of China there
in a preposterous and wicked Chinaman who
has msolv ed to kill a small Chinese girl, but
who will consent to sell her for the price of
a million postage st uupq. There is also be-
Iicv ed to be a benmoleut laIly somewhere it.

who are concerned in the matter. The phil-
anthropic lady in collecting the one million
of stamps. and the noble iiiixsiouary is wait-
ing to receive them, and to save the small
Chinese. girl by buying her, and educating
her iLII a Christian and a Now-Englander.
Those who believe in this amazing tale
arc constantly beseeching their friends to
give them stamps which can be forwarded
to the benevolent lady. and by her‘ sent to
the noble There can be no
doubt as to the liniI-ny and sincerity of
these people. They are intent upon rescu-
ing the threatened (‘Ihia- so girl. and they
utterly refuse to liston to any one who .cx-
presses any doubts of the truth of the story.
If any one points out to them that, accord-
ing to the story. the wicked Chinaman has
been constantly on the point. of killing the
‘rl for at least fifteen I Insecutivo years,
and that he must be as patient and how! «I
as he is wicked. they willfiimply wonder
how any one can speak so heartlessly. and
will renew their application for stamps.
Thcro are probably from ten to fifteen thou
sand stamp collectors now in this country
who are a prey to this curious Chinese au-
perstition. and who are. not in the least dis-
couccrted by the fact that they do not know
the name or address of the benevolent lady,
and could not send stamps to her. no mat
ter how many they might collect.
Another superstition is that concerning
the alleged young lady to whom a rich but
godless man has in a rash moment promised
to give ten thousand dollars whenever sht
brings him a million pImtage stamps. The
young lady would scorn to accept the mom
by for herself. but if she receives it she in
lands to give the whole of it to St. Luke‘t
Hospital. The man who would refuse to ill
in such a noble enterprise by saving a {II
defaced stamps and giving them to n Yfiend
to forward to the young lady must be in-
deed hard-hearted. Moreover. in addition
to aiding a worthy charity, the contributor
of postage stamps has the opportunity to
dospoil the godless man of his goods and
compel him for once in his wicked and per-
‘aonaliy miixll‘y' 5.1.1...) " .Jgivo away a larggrm
of money.
This story is at least In old Is the story
of the Chinese small girl. For years due
generous young lady has been striving to
get together the one million stamps. and the
godlem capitalist has kept his rush 'ofl‘er
)pen. As in the case of the benevolent lady
interested in the rescue of Chinese girls. no
one knows the generous young lady‘s name
and addresa. Every stamp collector protu-
isI-s to send all stamps that may be given tc
him or her to the young lady. but the ini
possibility of fulfilling this
seems to occur to the unhappy victim whoa~
mind has been weakened by an unholy thirst
for puatage staiulm.
Tb"?x is yet another superstition even
more irrational than either of the preceding
ones. This relates to a small boy with II
sick mother. and an eccentric capitalist.
l‘he latter. who is much lea liberal that
the gtxlless man who has promised ten thou
sand dollars to a young lady. has told thc
small boy that be will give him three him-
Iii-ed dollars for a million stamps. With
this money the small boy expecta- to make
the declining years of bid sick mother peace-
ful and happy. basidus fitting himself fox
- college and paying OK a mortgage, on his
mother‘s houso. The mother has been sick
for at least twelve years. and during the
same length of time the small boy baa been
trying to earn his three hundred dollars.
and thus secure an education and [‘on 03
tho mortgage. The patience of the mother
the boy. and tho mortgagee is certainly
great—much greater than that of thII pm plI
who are teased for stamps by the believer}
in the impossible lI‘:' IIIIl.
Then ans those w II iIu Igiue that the vic~
thus of the postage stamp vice wilfully de~

Chinwve girls. benevolent young ladies. and
remarkable small boys. when they believe
in nothing of thocort, and thIIii- only desirI
