One of the questions asked us most frequently is, Which is the rarest of all the stamps? There are not a few 'elate - ants for this honor, all of which are ex- ceedingly rare, stamps of which but a single copy is known to exist. Indeed, there is evidence which leads us to be- lieve that some stamps were printed and used of which no copies at all are 'known to be in existence. Of those stamps of which only one rbopy is known, the firat 1s a post- master's provisional issued at Bos eawen, N. H. Another is a stamp from British Guiana. Only one copy of this is known and is in a celebrated collec- tion in Paris, probably the largest col- lection in the world. In 1893 the Niger Coast Protectorate Issued a series of surcharged stamps, all of which are scarce, and some of them are in the ranks of the wdrld's greatest .rarities. This refers especial- ly to the twenty shilling values. Of the 20 shillings, surcharged in violet, only five copies were ever printed; of the vermilion surcharge, only two copies, and of the black surcharge, only ,one copy. As there is and can be only one copy of this last stamp, it is justly entitled to be considered the rarest of all 'stamps. It probably would not sell so high as the better known and. more popular "postomee" stamps of Mau- ritius. Yet of these there are known 'fourteen copies of the penny and twelve of the twopenny.—St. Nicholas. 1110111 11 ItC: fl WIN free. ell'�r erg raie trete et elx ': elms .�g Bila i� e Bee? ufferick., Jaffern:s�� from toto tc) LEAVE TORONTO UNION STATION 10.45 P.

Albans's first London engagement is as follows: Colonel Mapleson heard of her singing at a theater at Malta, and, thinking that she would be successful, he made her an offer through an agent of a con- tract to sing in Her Majesty's theater. She agreed to it and went to London, but on arriving there sbe told the cab- man to drive her to the Italian opera house. He, instead of going to Her Majes- ty's, took her to Covent Garden, which was also devoted to Italian opera, She was shown up to the manager's office and stated that she had come to sign the contract which Mr. Mapleson bad offered her. Mr. Gye, thinking to play a joke on his rival, Mapleson, made out a con- tract, and Albani signed it. Mr. Gye then told her that he was not Colonel Mapleson, but that he could do much better by ber. He offered to tear up the contract if she liked, but told her that Nilsson was singing at Her Maj- e3ty's and would brook no rival. Albani decided to let the eontract stand and thus became one of the stars of Covent Garden, eventually marrying the son of Mr. Gye.—Westminster Ga. zette. Fanny Dickens. Fanny, the sister of Charles Dickens, was one of the first students entered at the old Royal Academy of Music when it opened its doors at Tenterden street in 1823, and at that time the students lived at the academy, only going home for the week end. "Every Sunday," Dickens told Forster, "I was at the academy at 9 o'clock in the morning to fetch her (Fanny), and we walked back • there together at night." And the Sun- day itself the two spent—in the Mar- shalsea prison, where their father and mother then resided,. owing 'to Mr. Dickens having "failed to propitiate his creditors." While her father was still in prison Fanny won a prize at the academy, and the future novelist, then engaged in pasting labels on .!lacking pots at 7 shillings a week, was present to see her receive it -- Westminster Gazette.
