An American collector living in England is said to have offered «wore than vhat sum for it as a mat- ter of speculation. But the firm that owns the stamp keeps {ts lucked in its safe. Only a limited number of persons are permitted to see it, The coveted stamp is what they calla “tupenny Mauritius,” and is one of the rarest in the world. Its value is due to an engraver’s blun- der. His wits went wool gathering while he was at work, and the stamp was imprinted with the word ‘‘post- office” instead of “post paid.” When the blunder was discovered the entire issue was hastily withdrawn, and all soli, that could ;be recovered, were destroyed.

Several days ago the pupils of the school over which Miss Sinclair pre sided demanded the customary treat andshe consented. They then de manded that she tell the nature o. the treat, but she refused. A renewal of thedemand was made yesterday and when Miss Sinclair again declined she was overpowered by the larger girls, taken to a pone, the ice broken and she was thrust “into the icy water which reached to her shoulders.
