ALTERING STAMPS.

No change or alteration Of any sort
should be made by collector in his
stamps 1t was a custom, some years
ago, among collectors to erase cancel
lation marks from their stamps in or
der 10 make their stamps better. The
effect OF the attempt was not all that
could be desired. The eraSures were
not perfect, ana the stamps in the
changed condition, being neither can
celcd nor unCanccled, were simply in
fcrior damaged specimens. one OF
the most common ways OF altering
stamps az the present time is to erase
the word specimen from a stamp
having this ovcrprint. 1t cannot bc
done so that IL will not be detected,
and the stamp in the altered condition
is worthless. while as a specimen it
had some value II has frequently
happened that stamps, valuable IN
their original condition, have been
made worthless 10y attempts TO in
crease their value by alterauon.-St
