one at the time of her coronation in 1887
and the other depicting her at the date
OF the jubilee, 1897.
Upon the death OF Victoria her face
was succeeded by that OF Edward On the
stamps OF Britain ard her colonies, Just
as Edwards Is now about TO be succeeded
by that OF King George.
II Is a very interesting fact that the
present King OF England is himself an ar,
dent student Of stamps and Of stamp COL
lecting. 20 some extent it was through
his influence that his royal father raised
the London phiiatelic society to a plane
with other SCIENTIFIC organizations of the
realm. changing its name from a more
commonplace one to the Royal PhiIatelic
Society.
King George has been the active presi-
dent OF this very notable organization,
and has always taken a deep interest in
its proceedings and welfare. He has at
tended It's meetings and its exhibitions.
and he has been an exhibitor at these
latter as we'll
His collection Of stamps is said 10
be worth e500000. He gathered Il with
great care ana gives It his personal at
tention. In evidence OF his intense in
terest in the science, 1t may be cited
that in 1904. he purchased at auction for
1890 a rare penny stamp Of MaEritius
The new King has frequently intrusted
his most precious specimens 10 private
and public exhibitions. He has con-
trfbuted, too. to stamp literature, giving
results OF personal research in the
philatelie field. One of his papers con-
cerned a rather intricate question that
had TO do with the manufacture OF the
paper on which the first stamp OF Dem
mark was printed.
At a meeting OF the Royal Philatelic
Society a short time ago, he read a
paper prepared after diligent study on
THE Postal Issues Of the United King
dom During the Present Reign"-a paper
that will always be an authority on a
most important phase OF modern philats-
~
And so IL seems 20 pass that philate-
lists the world over are deeply interested
in the new British sovereign not alone
for the reason that his portrait is to play
conspicuous part In stampdom, but
because King George himself is a zeal
Gus devotee Of their science. and they viii
feel more than ever that they have a
friend at court

has been favorite phase OF philately for
several years Il promises TO be stilI

present designs and a replacing Of them
with little mail carriers bearing the pic
ture Of King George.
I am told that the number Of varieties
OF stamps that VIII undergo a change is
not less than $40.
It is a coincidence that pictures OF
King George and his Queen have already
appeared on those colonies that are TO
be the first 70 picture him as King.
The half-cent tereentenary issue Of Que
bee in 1908 bore the portraits OF the then
Prince and Princess Of Wales. now King
and Queen Of England. The scent New
foundland. or 1883 showed the present
King, and the Accent stamp OF that land
in 1901 portrayed the then princess.
The present Prince OF Wales was por-
trayed on the half cent OF Newfoundland
in 1888 Stamps OF that same set bore
portraits OF the late Queen Victoria, King
Edward. and his widowed Queen
Victoria's picture appeared on innu-
merable stamps prior to her demise. and
various issues showed her at different
periods Of her reign from her coronation
20 the very year Of her death.

POINT OF VIEW,

It is difficult TO understand the curl

the keen interest in the affairs of others
which prompts women TO listen at key
holes and door cracks, to sit at windows
in darkened rooms or behind closed blinds
with peep-holes through which the 60
ings and comings of neighbors can be OBJ
served, out we know that they exist. We
know that mischief turks in every corner
by reason Of them.
There are two women living on a Sc
cluded street who just wait for night fall
and the enjoyment they ind in the clan
destine meetings of men and women who
have no right to be together. many Of

sons who are able to make things lively
for the culprits.
Offenders against laws Of any kind de-
serve punishment. but it might be al
lowed to travel through proper channels.
Curiosity Of q personal nature is not
wholesome. and it lie a pity that il should
be allowed to crowd out the many useful
and healthy things of life We never
have time enough TO enjoy nature 10 its
full, TO lend a helping hand 70 all who
need it, to read all that is worth reading
and see all that should be seen, and If
We squander our time upon such ignoble
pursuits as spying and gossiping we are
cheating ourselves shamefuliy.
The affairs of others should have no in
terest for us save in cases where they
touch our lives. If any woman has
better way of doing anything, it should
appeal to our interest. We should take
notice of illness in which we can lend
bit OF assistance or show some signs of
sympathy. We may not approve of much
we see. but that does not give US the
right to criticise or discuss 1t publicly.
The right Of living according to individ
ual taste is tacitly conceded, provided
the laws Of the land are satisfied.
It Is easy to cultivate the habit Of fault
finding: it is extremely difficult to train
ones self to the task Of picking out vir
tues and ignoring faults 1t is not easy
to forget things we see and hear. and the
tongue is an unruly member that oecu-
pies the position of the ungoverned chill
dren we see on every hand Women are
