A CCL-.z -TTo1I OF STAMPS.

The stamps Of Brazil are now making
al colors, aa1 there is NJ doubt but
what the change makes some of them
much more attractive.
The Canadian government has under
consideration the question Of postage
on newspapers. and it is understood
that it Will be reduced from one-half
cent per pound to one-quarter cent.
British post Office savings banks now
pay 2h per cent. On deposits, and in the
past have paid three per cent. but after
1908. as Sir Michael LicksBeach, the
chancellor Of the e&ehequer, announced
lately, the rate OF interest will vary
from year to year. according to the
earning power Of money. This is done
to prevent the government being called
upon to make up deficiencies.
A copy of the 30-eent. 1863, imperfor-
ated, with wide margins, is curiosity
that is going the rounds CT the stamp
stores looking for purchaser. The
stamp appears TO be printed on the reg
uiar paper Of that series. and il on.y

ta2hed to it. AS il is. however, dealers
are 10th 10 believe that it is q genuine
iIEperforate specimen of that issue.
and they have never heard o. a proof
of it being printed on that kind Of pa
per, consequently the eurio goes on its
rounds.
Many new issues are shown up Of late.
and the counters of dealers are bright
with them. Among them are the new
