The Boom IN Postal Cards.

From the American Illustrated Magazine.
To the boom in picture post cards
the postmaster general OF Great Brit
ain ascribes a decrease OF IN per cent.
in the number OF letters delivered last
year in London. There were delivered
In the United Kingdom 734,500,00 pos
tals-an increase Of nearly 20 per cent.
and of these so per ent were pri-
vately printed. The per capita allow
ance of postal cards in the Kingdom
would be seventeen to each person. In
many localities in the United States
the postofflce facilities have been
swamped by the excess Of souvenir pos
tails, while on the boardwalk at Atlantic
City riots have been narrowly ayerted
because the authorities had neglected
to supply enough 1-cent stamps to meet
the demand OF the victims OF carditis
