"I want to exchange wild flowers and ferns," writes Daisy Damman, who
lives--where do you think?--in Hazel Park, Warburton, Victoria,
Australia. She is a Lady of the Order, and has a large collection of
Australian fauna. Ned and Neil MacNeale ask the name of a periodical
that treats of hunting and fishing. They might try _Forest and Stream_,
New York. Gerty Clare, 234 Garside Street, Newark, N. J., who does
fancy-work well, and has plenty of time for it, is willing to do some
for any Chapter fair, at least a part of the proceeds of which fair are
to go to the School Fund. She wants to be a corresponding member of some
literary Chapter. Will some one write her?
Harry Arthur Powell asks for information about our Order membership. The
rule is, 1. Once a member always a member. Those coming in under
eighteen are Knights and Ladies, those over eighteen, Patrons. Knights
and Ladies remain such without regard to age, and never become Patrons.
In a certain few cases, where it is unfair not to give young members a
chance, prize competitions are limited to those under eighteen. Where no
age is mentioned, competition is open to members of all ages. But our
prize offers, question privileges, the furnishing of morsels, etc., are
intended to be open to members only, not to the general public.
STAMPS.
This Department is conducted in the interest of stamp and coin
collectors, and the Editor will be pleased to answer any question
on these subjects so far as possible. Correspondents should address
Editor Stamp Department.
Attention is called to another threatened deluge of purely speculative
stamps. No philatelist should buy any of the following:
PERU.--_Pierola Issue._ 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 centavos, bearing date on
left side of the stamp "Setiembre 10 de 1895." These stamps were issued
and good for postage for ten days only (September 10 to 20, 1895).
GREECE.--_Olympian Games Issue._ No list of the different proposed
values has been issued, but probably there will be the same number of
denominations as the present series, viz., 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 70,
80, 90, 100, and 200 lepta.
NEW SOUTH WALES.--_O.S. Issues._ The present government has taken the
entire stock on hand of old issues, and surcharged them O.S., and,
furthermore, are supplying them with postal cancellation. These are
consequently counterfeits, and should be avoided. The N. S. W.
government has offered these stamps (36 adhesives, 11 envelopes) at $10
per set.
TRANSVAAL.--A commemorative 1-penny stamp, rose-color, oblong shape.
AMOY.--Another of the Chinese locals.
HUNGARY.--Millennium stamps. Complete details have not yet been received
concerning this proposed issue.
BELGIUM.--A new issue of Postage-due stamps appeared November 1st.
Values are to be 10, 20, 50 centimes, and 1 franc.
