The schoolboy may get together a very respectable little collection by the judicious expenditure of small savings from his pocket money, and the millionaire will find ample scope for his surplus wealth in the fine range of varieties that gem the issues of many of the oldest stamp-issuing countries, and which only the fortunate few can hope to possess.
They discover the way out, only after having run their heads against all other possible issues. April 15, 1870. Crucifixion! That is the word we have to meditate to-day. Is it not Good Friday?
