the most valuable of these local stamps
are those of Millbury, Mass, now worth
fifteen hundred dollars. of which only
six examples are known to exist, and of
Brattleboro, Vt, now valued at six
hundred dollars.
In 1917 the adhesive stamp appeared
in this country, following close on its
adoption in England, and in 1856 a law
was passed making the prepayment Of
postage compulsory. This measure put
an end TO the old paid marks. The
first adhesives were of five and ten cent
denominations. In 1868 the familiar
two-cent stamp. containing the head of
Andrew jackson, was sent out From
that time to 1851 the uniform style
adopted contained the proiiles of presi-
dents of the United States. II is
worthy of note that previous to the
present issue Of 81, -, -. and IS Co
lumbar stamps the United States gov
eminent Ind not issued any stamps for
general use Of higher denomination
than ninety cents.-John Thompson. in

THE POSTAGE STAMP.

Some Facts of Interest to the Curious
Among Our Young People.
Has it ever occurred TO You that post
age stamps, the new Columbian stamps
for instance, are really miniature steel
engravings? The average person who
sticks one of these works of art on the
corner of an envelope does not think of
this; but if you will look closely at the
two-cent stamp you win see that it has
all the delicacy and detail of steel
portrait. If you prefer the blue variety
you can purchase a genuine steel en-
craving without framel for a cent.
And If You chance to have money in
your purse you can secure the entire
historical series at a moderate cost.
The Colum bian stamps, as stamps.
are a great improvement over their
predecessors. They are gems of art
and the fact that they are TO be issued
only during 1898 win make them valu-
able as curiosities. Historically the
kind critic will overlook such lutte i'm
accuracies as the representation of Co
lumbus as a beardless youth when
sighting land and as wearing
full beard when landing the next
day. Evidently the skill of the en-
graver did not extend TO the tonsorial
art; or else boards grew fast i'm those
days. But, fortunately, trifes like this
will not prevent the government from
making profit of a quarter of a million
dollars or more from stamp collectors
The centennial of 1876 also was COM
memorated by the post office depart
ment, but in different manner A
souvenir envelope was issued. with a
shield-shaped stamp in the corner. IL
represented mail-carrier of the olden
time, riding on horseback at full speed.
Below was a modern railway train.
The stamp was of the denomination of
three cents. At the top We're the fig
ures ''1776," and at the bottom '1S76. IS
As a work of art it was inferior to the
new Columbian issue. 1t was the only
special issue of United States stamps
up to that time. except fifteen-cent /
stamp representing the landing Of Co 4
lumbus which was issued in 1869.
Do not suppose that stamp making is /
an easy nor even a rapid process. Every 1
part of the work is performed by hand. /
The designs are first engraved on steel 1
and two hundred stamps are engraved !
on a single plate. The work of mixing J
these plates is done by two men, and !
they then go to man and girl who
