Advertising Stamps.

A firm of great genius has offered the British Government an immensesum for the use of the national post-age-stamp for advertising purposes. The advertisement is to he printed on the hack of the stamp before the gum is put on, so that the purchaser of every stamp must see the announcement before he moistens the gum. This isan Australian idea.
