THE STAMP COLLECTOR.

The clerk in Washington who amused
his leisure hours by selling thousands
OF dollars worth of postage due" and
periodical stamps seems to have
slipped through the mcshes of the law
in some mysterious way.
Another real-cstato stamp deal
has been consumlnated, this time in
Philadelphia. One man had a lot Of
ground, valued nj $1,000, and the other
man had n lot of stamps, valued at the
same figure. 1t was an even exchange.
and. each man appears to be satisfied
with his end of II. So
During the first SIS years since the in
PRODUCTION of postage stamps In 1910,
Gfcat Britain has issued for the use of
the United Kingdom but l04 different
stamps, while not less than eco ynrietics
were issued for the postal requirements
OF six almost entirely uncivilizcd ter
ritories Of inner Africa within the last
IL y~cars-thnt is, since 1881.
One of the New York stamp firms has
on exhibition the figure of Il man whose
costume, from head to foot, is complete
ly covered with postage stamps. The
coat is composed of the onc-cent blue
OF tile present issue: the trowscrs of
the tHo'ccnt rcd, and his nccktic OF the
two-ccnt Columbians, while the other
articles of apparel have been adorned
with various colored stamps OF foreign
countries.
High values of stamps are used
chiefly on large packages OF books,
stamps. coins, etc, consigned to points
abroad, or going long Journeys in this
country. In such cases the mil even
at letter rates is cheaper than other
methods of transportation. Stamps OF
one dollar and over nrc used almost
every day by our publishers in sending
out albums or mounted collections.
