GREAT BRITAIN'S GIFT.
Two-Cent International Postage Pre-
sented to Her Colonies.

One of the most remarkable Christmas
gifts ever presented was 2-cent interna-
tional postage. On Christmas day 1893,
Great Britain made a Christmas present
TO each of her thirty-seven colonies in the
form of 2-cent letter postage between the
colonies and the parent government. Be
fore that date the rate had been cents.
In honor of this important event Canada
placed on sale that day Christmas pos
tage stamp the only one of the kind that
has ever been issued by any country. In
many respects this stamp is unique 1t Is
larger than our Columbian stamps, and de-
picts a map OF the world with the pos
sessions of the British empire printed in
bright scarlet and the balance of the world
in white. The oceans appear in BLUSH
green, and the frame of the design are III
black. Across the top is the inscription,
Canada postage with a crown. resting
on laurel leaves, tucked in between the
two words. At the bottom of the design
is the boastful legend: I'VE hold a vaster
empire than has been" Philatellsts have
dubbed this the "has-been'' stamp. Above
this inscription are the words: Xmas
1885, and a figure ''2'' in each lower cor
ner 1t is worthy of note that this stamp
was printed in the United States L. marks
a new epoch in stamp production, having
three colors. Bi-colored stamps are not
uncommon, but UP to this time no country
had attempted TO issue a stamp in three
colors.
This Christmas stamp was probably the
most expensive ever issued, costing the
Canadian government four times as mucn
as the ordinary single-color stamp. AL
though issued on Christmas 1895 the
stamps availability for postage uses is un-
limited.
Philatelists always on the lookout for
errors and variations found the Christmas
stamp with three different shades of oceans,
blue-green, lavender and buish-lavender.
These differences in shade resulted in
largely Increased sale OF these stamps TO
collectors and netted the Canadian gov
ernment thousands of dollars; enough, un
doubtedly, To pay the excess of cost over
single-colored stamps or course every
collector wanted an unused specimen OF
each shade of ocean, and many thousands
of additional stamps were sold.
