900 paid reply cards and 400 inter

postal card is convenience we car
hardly imagine ourselves doing with
out. 1t is only twenty-siX years, on
October 1, since Austria issued the
worlds first postal card. In little
over a quarter of a century this inno-
walton has become practical necessity
to every civilized country. has supplied
collectors with another fad. and incl
dentally has recorded much, history
special ilnprints often being iSSffed to
celebrate some event of national i'm
pOrtance. Thus the CanadianggoSern-
ment has issued 100000 cards of a
new design to commemorate the
queens jubilee. In this case. where
tleissue is so numerous, the collectors
are, little interested. Several coun-
tries however, with one eye ON the
pockets, of the collectors. have at var
ious times put forth very limited spe-
cial issues. These being forced to a
Fictitious value very many times in ex-
cess of their stamped price, have gener.
ally proved profitable speculation to
the governments issuing them.-Illus-
