THE LURE OF THE POSTAGE VISITORS AT HOTELS
STAMP.
ONE OF THE KING'S GREATEST
PLEASURES. A
AN OLD MAN'S HOBBY.
Each collector, once he has set foot in the world of stamps, will soon find the fields which appear, înost pleasant to him to pasture in and once found, the per- manence of his interest is assured. The hobby will be his for life, and at the close of a strenuous career the possession of an enthusiasm such na this will be of precious value. As Sir Lauder Brunton told a company of stamp-collectors not
ago:

When they retire from active work they die of sheet mani! Sometimes they come to me and complain of so many things, and say they have nothing to do. I tell them to collect stamps. It will add ten years to their life. The wise men do 10. The others do not.

This over-emphasis of the letter- writer and the advertiser is actually a confession of weakness. It may be noted also in the father of the family, who with his back to the are, declaims against the frivolities of his son; the teacher who, with crashing fist on the desk before him bawis out some anaemic platitude; the politician who, by mere force of sound," "communicates to his hear- érs his frenzy over some trival matter."

When stamp collecting Grst took root in the hearts of boys and nien (for the boy was doubtless father to the man, in the creation of the new pastime) there were comparatively few stamps to collect. Mount My old friemil, the late Mr. Brown, when he published his first catalogue of postage stamps in Alay, 1889. knew of but 1.200 varieties To-day there are about 40,000 standard varieties known, without counting minor differ- ences, and the scope they afford to col- lectors is broad enough to appeal to all their divers interests and tastes.
