The Postage Stamp.


1t is curious that with all the searching
after issues that has been going on for
years in this country no party has taken
up the postage stamp. Who can say how
many millions of these are used every day?
Who for years back has used one without
condemning it? The postage stamp of mod
ern days is a nuisance instead of eonyen-
fence. 1t often lacks sticking power, but it
always refuses to tear along the line of
brittle that they break right in two One
half blows away in the draft, and the other
half is no good for carrying a letter. What
it is that has been cheapened is not explain
ed, but the fact is there as plain as a nose
on mans face that the stamp of today
breaks crosswise, and up and down, and any
old way except as it is punched, and that it
will stick to another stamp so that nothing
but destruction of both will separate them
while it refuses half the time to stick to
an envelope at ALL De gustibus non est
ETC., but for ourselves we admit that the
present style of adhesive qualification is not
very palatable.
The stamps of 1904 have no such taste as
the stamps that mother used to make" In
old times children begged the privilege of
putting the stamps on the envelopes. To-
day, when they are forced to such work.
they follow it up with washout of germi-
eide and set in to recover a cheerful express
sion. The promise to produce stamp that
will stay put, divide along the pin holes,
bend without breaking, and in other ways
fulfill some of the purposes of its creation,
will prove taking appeal: but it means
a mighty change from what we have had
to endure for twenty years.

On Tuesday evening, February %, the
Copley Society of Boston will open
memorial exhibition of works by the late
James Mcneil Whistler, which, it is be-
lieved, will prove an event of national i'm
portance. The executors of Mr.. Whistler's
estate have leant their cooperation, and
collectors on both sides of the Atlantic
have responded generously to the society's
appeal for loans. From London, Paris and
Montreal exhibits have been sent, and it is
probable that so comprehensive a. collec-
ton of the great artists work will never
be again got together. In Boston the Cop
ley Society has made elaborate prepara-
tons for it's institution. The walls of Cop
ley and Allston Halls, which are custom
arily green, have been covered with gray
grass cloth and finished at the top with
band of pink brocade. AS accents there
will be at intervals Japanese wood carv-
ings, gold lacquered; and, ON the floor, bay
trees will add to the scheme of decoration.
The Autographs are to be placed on a
background of yellow japanese fiber paper,
and the etchings, in accordance with Mr..
Whistler's known preference, will be
framed uniformly. In short, every effort
is being made to show the pictures under
the best and most sympathetic conditions,
and the result should be demonstration
of the value of environment as we'll as a
lesson to other exhibition committees.
