of the hits was an unmistakable two

There have been more or less rumov5

OF all the fads that have absorbed the
popular mind from time to time. no
other has been so universal or so con-
slant as the craze for philately. or stamp
collection. Men, women and children

thori,y, and the pOst-oi1iee officials. both

the government pays for to examination
Of requests for stamps or information
concerning them from all sorts Of peO-
pie. While the government officials and
their clerks are forbidden 10 deal with
stamp collectors in any other way than
their sworn duty defines, they are pretty
good judges of the feeling in the trade,
and they now report that within the past
year or two there has been a big slump
in the business.
The greatest drop has been noted in
the case of Columbian stamps. which
were the inevitable credentials Of CORES
pOndents three years ago. On account
of the limited number Of some denomi-
nations there was large demand for
them, even before they had been eX-
hausted from the postofTlces. A New
York dealer recently gave an order to
the Adams Express Company to gather
uD all the one-dOllar Columbians thas
had passed unnoticed by 1he collectors.
and il was not long before the price went
up from s. to SIS. and a large San Fran
cisco bank bought $4,000 worth of them
as an investment. Two Philadelphia
; men invested between $4,000 and $25.-
600 in two-dollar Columbians, and ran
them up a hundred per cent, but now
they can be bought at their face value.
