ners only, the fourpenny,
sixpenny, and one shilling had no letters. In 1865 all the stamps were
issued with letters in all four corners. The lower values were printed
in sheets of 240 stamps, the first stamp bearing the letters A B in the
upper corners, the next A C, the next A D, etc. In the lower corners the
letters were reversed; thus a stamp marked F D in the upper corners was
marked D F in the lower corners. In the rooms of the Philatelic Society,
New York, complete sheets of the one-penny English stamp are to be seen,
each plate made up of 240 separate stamps. The labor involved in making
up these sheets was enormous, necessitating the examination of many
thousands of stamps.

B. MAGELSEN.--I hope shortly to print an article on one of the
stamps of Great Britain, which will give a fair answer to your
questions.

[Illustration: Ivory Soap]

At all grocery stores east of the Rocky Mountains two sizes of Ivory
Soap are sold; one that costs five cents a cake, and a larger size. The
larger cake is the more convenient and economical for laundry and
general household use. If your Grocer is out of it, insist on his
getting it for you.
