Vast Suma spent by STAMP Collectors,

Oue who is not 4 stamp dealer or
stamp collector has little idea OF the
enormous proportions to which phi
lateio has grown. An English paper
announces that postage stamp collec-
tors are delighted at the prospect OF
adding to their treasures by the new
french colonial stamps which will be
issued shortly. When any new stamp
comes out the regular stamp dealers
III England, Paris and New York alone
require at least 5000, 900 worth OF
specimens for their customers. For
example. Tunis issued fresh stamp
three years ago, ana the government
printed enough for Il years supply.
In month the whole quantity had
been Drought up, chiefly for collec-
tors. France will print separate
stamps for each Of her colonies in
order TO prevent people making a
profit out OF the exchange between the
colonies. AS before, the stamp will
represent Commerce and Navigation
standing upright in a boat, beneath
the inscription. ''Republioue Fran
calse-Colonies." but the name Of each
possession will be engraved at the
foot, so that the Madagascar stamp
cannot be used in Cochin China, and
50 on.
