POSTAGE STAMPS IN BOOKS.
Convenient Scheme Devised by Posto1

Convenient Scheme Devised by Postof-
 flee Department
 Postmaster Howarth has received notice from MT. Madden. the third as- sistant postmaster general, that an in- novation has been introduced in his department, in the shape of the issu- ance of stamps in book form. The books will be sold to the public at a slight increase in cost and 1t is believ- cd that users will greatly appreciate the new Idea. It will surely >prove a great convenience and buyers will un- douhtedly be willing to pay the slight advance in cost. The idea was orig mated by MT. Madden and the other department officials of the postofffce are greatly pleased with it.
 The third assistant postmaster gen. eral has charge of the postage stamps and MT. Madden has been at work for al long time trying to devise some scheme to prevent stamps from stick ing together He hit on the scheme of a book with alternating leaves of stamps and parraffine paper, and 8 cover of thick paper and developed 1t to perfection. The book has been issued and on the cover is printed a succinct statement of the postal rates in the United States and foreign coun- tries.
 The book is small and can be carried in the pocket conveniently. They will be made up to contain stamps to the amount of 24 cents, AS cents and 96 cents. For this convenience the gen. eral public will have to pay only one cent. The books will be ready In two or three months and will be on sale at the postofffce and the suh-stations in this city.

column of cavalry and artillery de-
touring to Mafeking while command
