POSTAL CARDS OF THE WORLD.
Over 5000 Varieties Issued Within
Twenty.lvs Years.

1t seems almost incredible that there

Postal cards have been in circulation
a little less than twcnty-four years. de-
clares the Collector. The idea origi-
mated with Dr. Emanuel Hermann,a pro-
fessor Of national economy at the I'M
perial Academy OF Wiener. In Neustadt,
Lower Austria.
His ideas. under the head Of New
were published and attracted the atten-
ton of the Government oficials. The III
rector-General of Posts. took up the Idea
and succeeded in having. an issue Of
postal cards put in circulation in 1863.
The original name given to them was
the correspondents karte." and this has
been retained ever since. This new move
on the part Of Austria quickly excited
other countries to adopt a similar
method Of correspondence. and before
the close Of 1870 nearly all the European
countries were using cards.
try to use them and a special series
was issued to the soldiers engaged In
the Franco-Ger1nan war. These were
called the feld-post correspondence
soldiers at the rate. OF about fire FOR q
cent. The soldiers had the privilege. Of
using them without paying postage. An
other series VAS issued for civilians:
These had a place left for a stamp, ana
the writer had to afix a German post
age stamp to the card before posting.
The field postcards are now rare, the
used ones being scarcer than the unused
ones.
Another card OF equal rarity. and also
n reminder of the same war. Is the bal
loon postal-card, issued by France dur
ing the siege OF Paris. The cards We're
sent up from Paris in balloons. n the
mail-bags were thrown off into the sur
rounding country. where there, was the
least possible opportunity or their cap
ture by the enemy. They were smaller
than the postal-card now In use, ana
were covered with warlike expressions.
az Paris dehes the enemy = Glory
and conquest signify crimes. defeat sig,
niies hate and a desire for vengeance.
"Only one war ~ just and right-that
for independence"
The United States was rather back
ward in adopting he postal-card sys-
tenn, and did not use them until 1873.
The rirst issue printed was of reddish
color. with the head of Liberty IN the
right-hand corner. AS n rule. Uncle
