:. Philatelic News '. First Lists of Postage Postmasters Made Own Stamps Issued in 1860 Salaries Through Sales in 45

In the United States the first postage stamps were issued by individual p0stmasters at their own expense in 1S45. Postmas- ters at Alexandria, Virginia, Brattleboro, Vt, Lockport, N. Y., Millbury, Mass, Baltimore, Md, Boscawen, N. H., Provi- dence R. l., St. Louis, Mo-, New Haven, Conn.,, and New York, N. Y.. supplied their patrons with stamps were SUD- erseded by the first govern ment issue. July l, 1S47.
 This issue was in two de-. nominations: five cent red brown on bluish paper, with head of Benjamin Franklin. who was the first Postmaster General of the American Col. Onies, in 1753, and q ten cent black, on bluish paper, with head of George Washington.
 Scarcity. rather than age, is usually the determining factor in the value of a stamp. The earliest shape of the postage stamp is practically that which is in use today. The triangular diamond shaped, octagonal. round and square have been tried as experiments by diff terent countries, but in nearly all cases they have returned to the rectangular form, usually to about the same size as that of. the original issue in Great Britain.
 Many different kinds pap CT are used for stamps, which frequently has an important bearing on the value of a stamp. Paper is distinguished ms thick or thin, hard or soft, mad by its color, as bluish, yell Jewish, greenish, etc.
 Wove paper: uniform texture throughout, showing no light or dark figures when held against the light. If the paper shows little light dots or points, very close together. 1t is called wire wove," which is commonly used now and Is generally known as wove pap CT.
 Laid paper: shows alternate light and dark lines if held to the light. If there are only a few light lines at q consider able distance apart, like the ruling on writing paper, 1t IS called "bat0nne" which may be either wOve or laid. Other unanila and silk papers.

 Lieut. Detective William POl- lard a few days ago picked up three lads whom he believed responsible for a number of breaks into local schools. Sev- cral of the crimes were very similar in that doors had been very carefully removed from their hinges and taken down.
 Investigation by Lieut. Pol lard and Lieut. Matthew Balanda pointed to the three lads and they were arrested. They freely admitted the crimes.
 "But hOw." asked Lieut. Pol lard in puzzled fashion, "did you fellows know how to take hinge pins out and take doors from their hingcs?"
 "That was casy," said one of the trio, i've learn that in manual training class"

Some interesting information for nOvices in pfliiately Is con taincd in a pamphlet compiled by Ruth T. Robertson and dis tributed by the Washington Information urcau. The hobby of collecting stamps, acc cOrding to the booklet, began about 1850, and has spread until now there are millions of 2 collectors tn r o u g h o ut the world.
 The late Arthur Hind of Utica, New York, owned the most valuable collection of stamps of modern times, and their sale at auction in No vember, 1883, renewed popular interest in the hobby. Collec- tors from all over the world attended the sales. |.
 The first lists of postage stamps for the use of collectors were privately circulated In 1860 by Oscar Bcrger-Ley- rauIt. Alfred POtiQuet, of Paris, compiled the first stamp cataIOg In 1861 and the earl- lest English cataIOgs appeared In 1882. The first one in America, A. 0. Kline's stamp Collectors Manual" published In December, 1882, was taken from one of the English cata- logs. The first printed stamp albums were designed by Jus tin I.allicr of France and were published in England and France in 1862.
 Philateiy, the technical term for stamp collecting is deriv- ed from two Greek words, meaning Hove" and free of tax" the intention being to create a word meaning Hove of collecting stamps"
 The earliest form of post age stamps were employed in Paris in 1653 by the Petite Poste, established on royal au- thOrIty by the COnite de NO- gent and the Sieur dc Villa yer. It was q billet bearing distinctive device and intended to be wrapped around, or slipped inside the letter i'm such U manner that 1t might be easily removed. Postage stamps as we now know t In c m date hack to 184O, whne the first adhesive stamps were issued i'm Great Britain in connection with the postal reforms Of Sir Rowland HiII. Other nations quickly followed the British example, until the use Of post age stamps became universal.
