Mourning Stamps.

The post-office department is con-
stantly in receipt of requests for the
issue of a mourning stamp for use on
black edged stationery. Persons OF
taste assert that there is no harmony
or appropriateness in an envelope
with black edge and red stampin
the corner, and they beg the depart
ment to issue a black stamp. The
department has given much consid-
Grafton to the subject. The rules OF
the Universal Postal Union prescribe
that our lowest value stamp shall be
green; that the stamp used for do
nestle purposes shall be red, and the
stamp carrying foreign mail-6ve
cent-shall be blue. In view of these
restrictions, it has not appearedpos-
sible to meet the requirements for a
mourning stamp, as the department
does not deem it advisable to print a
stamp in black. In view of these ar
guments. the suggestion has been
made that the three-cent stamp, now
printed in purple, might be issued in
black, so that persons desiring to use
black stamp upon their mourning
envelope might do so by paying the
additional cent. Mourning station
cry is more expensive than other, and
those who can afford it can equally
afford to give one cent additional on
which they desire to display their
aesthetic tastes and appropriateness.
