for the standard colors-purple for
3-cent stamps; carmine for 2-cent.
Many of the stamps have defective
centering and the net result in the
circumstances probably will be that
the Maryland stamp will have a spe-
cial philatelic market value"
The philatelic agency is doing a
prodigious business these days Robert
E. Fellers, superintendent, division of
stamps, yesterday said that sales for
the first three months of 1884 had
reached ,l89-the best quarter
year record since the agency was es-
tablished.
Removal to the new Post Office
Department Building, Pennsylvania
avenue and Twelfth street, is expected
shortly, and the enlarged accommoda-
tions will contribute to the efficiency
of the agency's service.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Fellers says, i'm
provements in routine have been
effected. and mail orders are receiV-
ing more prompt attention.
William c. Stone. philatelic editor,
Springfield Evening Union, explains
that the reason why portraits Of
living persons do not appear on
stamps of the United States may be
traced back to the days of President
Grant. When it was proposed to
issue scrip bearing his portrait he OBJ
jected, and the reXt session Of Con-
gress passed an act prohibiting the
use of portraits of living persons on
Government securities. Then the
Treasury Department ruled that
stamps are Government obligations.

Mr.. Galvez writes: When the
Spanish republican government de-
cided to issue stamps with portraits
of republican celebrities the 2-cen-
timo value appeared with a repre-
sentation of Vincente Blasco Ibanez,
the famous novelist who died in exile
at Mention, France, in 1928. This
stamp was engraved by Camilo Del
hom and printed by recess method at
the Fabrica Nacional de la Moneda y
Timbre. But after few months it
was seen that it cost more to produce
the stamp than its face value. So it
was decided to print 2-centimo value
by lithography. much cheaper proc
ess. But Ibanez could not be elimi-
mated from the series of portraits, and
the 5-centimo value was chosen in
tribute to him. Thus the portrait of
Pi Margall appears only on the 20
centimo denomination of the revised
set"

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY LAW
N SCHOOL students now may
take courses in advanced po-
litical science as part of their regu-
lar law work under arrangements just
set up, it was announced at the uni
versity last night.
The political science work was made
available to law students in the con-
viction that an attorneys training
should rest on as broad an academic
base as possible. This has been the
policy at National for a number of
years and it was this principle, in
fact, which resulted in the founding
of the university's School Of Eco
nomics and Government some years
ago
Most Continental European univer-
sites now require completion of work
in political science by their law
students. AS yet at National, how
ever, the student has the choice CT
election of this study.
The 233 successful candidates in
