they contain spaces for every stamp

They contain spaces for every stamp
issued and a great deal of useful in
formation in addition. The area, loca-
tion and population of the countries
are given, besides a useful guide in
the way of denominations and colors
for mounting a collection. Blank leaves
are inserted for future issues OF most
countries.
1t is an advantage to have the issues
of all countries illustrated, as other
wise 1t is impossible to place some of
them. unless one happens to be fan,il-
lar with them. Few illustrations are
given of United States stamps, as the
law prohibits the printing of fac-simi-
les. Local stamps and the issues of the
Confederate States are permitted, but
none of the regular issues, revenues,
or department stamps.
Many collectors prefer. to confine
themselves to certain countries: For
instance, the United States and the
British colonies. or the countries of
the Western hemisphere. For the spe-
cialist the blank album with detacha-
BILE leaves serves the purpose better
than any other The issue can be ar
ranged in any order desired. High
priced stamps may be omitted whole
country can be removed and another
inserted or discarded, according to the
taste. Each issue can be grouped on
page and arranged consecutively, so
that no blank pages will intervene.
This, of course, makes a permanent
album, for additional pages can be in
serted wherever desired, and the col
lection need never be transferred. The
pages are ruled with a net work of
fine lines, which act as a guide in
mounting the stamps.
Since the number of stamps issued
has grown so large, many collectors,
having a limited time to devote to the
hobby, find 1t necessary to confine
themselves to the issues of the United
States and colonies. Albums are now
made to hold these exclusively They
contain spaces for the regular issues,
department stamps, periodicals, reve-
nues, due stamps, envelopes, locals,
carriers, match and medicine stamps,
the issues of the Confederate States,
and those of Cuba. Porto Rico, Hawaii
and the Philippines. These, with ex-
ira pages for future issues, make a
book almost as large as that designed
for the general collection.
The United States album is popular
with a large number of collectors, es-
pecially with those who have been in
terested in the hobby for a number of
years. 1t Is complete in every way Of
fering a convenient arrangement of all
issues, and gives collection tone and
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-10-05

specimens tastefully arranged make a
far better appearance than a large
number half torn and carelessly
mounted.
The printed album. selling as low as
twenty-five cents, is superior in many
ways to the blank book. The countries
are properly arranged, numerous illus
trations are given and the collection
is greatly improved in appearance. A
small piece of gummed paper. called a
hinge. is used 90 mount stamps In an
album. Hinges can be had for ten or
fifteen cents per thousand
1t is important to mount the issues
of a country in proper order. This Is
difficult If a blank book is used. The
printed album does away with many
little troubles. 1t gives many timely
points, and is obtainable at price
within reach of the youngest collector.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-10-05

1t is not advisable TO get too large a
book at first. for in mounting or re-
moving a specimen, the leaves may be
torn or soiled, and other little accidents
may happen, which should be confined
to the small album. If properly mount
ed, a collection can be transferred with
very little work; in fact, there is no
real work about it.
When a collection has outgrown the
small album, larger one becoming a
necessity. those selling at from 81 to
$3.50 are in order. These are large,
holding thousands of stamps, and are
in general use all over the country.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-10-05

For the beginner who wishes to be
economical an ordinary blank book
will answer. The pages should be rul-
ed off, with a margin at the top for
the name of the country. Reserve
about a dozen pages at the front for
the issues of the United States, and
two or three extra for those of Eng
land, France and Germany. Only the
pages to the right should be used An
alphabetical arrangements of the
countries Is a great advantage and
can be had by copying the names from
the price list of any stamp dealer.
Neatness SHOULD be cultivated. A few

When one decides to make collec-

WHAT AN ARTIFICIAL
MAN WOULD COST.

An English Army Surgeon Has CaI-
cuInted Tint $3.50 IL the sum Re-
CURED.
An English surgeon, who had to
mend from head to feet more than one
soldier mutilated in the late Boer war
has amused himself by calculating
what an entirely artificial man would
cost. Here is the result, which is real
ly interesting:
A pair of arms cost IS pounds sterl-
ing, or 800, and with artificial hands SO
pounds ($190). Articulated legs come
to $40 and a false metallic nose to
about 500. For $3.50 one can get two
ears with tympanums and drums. Al
windpipe with a palate in platinum
costs from $40 10 $50. and the eyes 500
Briefly. the expenses which would at
tend the restoration of a veteran, so
wounded everywhere that, theoretical
ly, he would still live. would amount
to 100 pounds sterling or about $3.50.
This is really very little, and IL Is seen
that things have greatly diminished
since the time of Capt. Castagnette OF
soldier went beyond the list of the Eng
lish doctor by having a whole face from
the silversmiths. 1t is well known
that one of the most celebrated French
generals has worn for many years an
abdomen of silver to replace the one
which an unfriendly bullet carried off,

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently young woman

waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists SO that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch. then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in damp cloth. to be
laid away two or three hours When
ironing have bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently SO to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front. sides and the
sleeves. followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. II there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with blunt
knife. and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed It should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
