CANCELLED POSTAGE STAMPS.
Many Are Sent to Germany and Are Usec
in Deccoratson and in Papering Rooms.

This country contributes some thous.
and dollars worth Of material yearly to
the promotion of tad long prevailing
in Germany. The rage for collecting
postage stamps, common enough here, Is
much more widespread, in Germany, and
for some time past collectors have been
using cancelled stamps, for decorative
purposes. Millions upon millions OF
stamps are used annually in Germany to
paper walls. A room Of moderate size
day be pap cred completely with 100000
stamps OF the ordinary size. Persons who
indulge in this fancy exercise great ingen-
u1ty in the arrangement Of the stamps,
and remarkable color effects may be pro-
duced by tasteful combinations. When
the stamps have been affixed to the walls
Of room, a tedious piece Of work, the
whole is vanished, in order to protect the
papering from damage.
Stamps and parts Of stamps are used
in decorating tables and cabinets. Those
who do this sort of decoration laboriously
cut out the head of Washington from the
current two cent stamp and paste the little
vignettes by the hundred upon the table
or cabinet to be decorated. Then thous-
ands of the tiny figure ''2" are cut from
the lower corner of the stamp and dis
posed so as to form q border about the
repeated liead of Washington. Scores OF
other designs are treated in like fashion,
and stamps of various colors are arranged
IN accordance with the taste Of the deco-
rator.
One man himself in New York, not q
professional dealer In stamps, sends nearly
25,000, 900 stamps per year to dealer IN
Germany. The same dealer has an agent
in Baltimore who sends him vastly larger
quantities.
They are sent to the agents from all parts
Of the East. Children in search OF
pocket money, women in need of pin
money, Sunday schools and charities Of
one sort or another collect and send these
stamps TO the agents in patches Of 10000,
10000, $4,000, or 100000. The usual
price is 10 cents per thousand, but the
red 2-cent stamps fetch less because they
are easily obtainable, and also because
their dye is not well fixed. The Colum-
bian stamps of small denominations fetch
30 cents per thousand. Rare stamps
fetch more of course, but the German
dealer makes no special effort to obtain
such stamps here. Many other dealers in
in Germany have been buying large duan-
titles of stamps in the United States, but
as some failed to pay for their purchases
it is now difficult to obtain large guam
titles save through resident agents. The
erase for stamp decorations has as yet
made small Roadway in this country,
though at least one collector in New York
is making ready to paper his room with
stamps.
