Stamps Issued 1860 By -WINDSOR STAMP CLUB New Brunswick, one of the Maritime Provinces, was once part of Acadia, i.e., New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. In 1784 it was made a separate colony of Great Britain and in 1867 joined the Dominion of Canada. The change of currency from English sterling to decimal necessitated a change in the postal stair.ps, and on May 15, 1860, a new series of stamps was issued varying in value from one to 17 cent. The one-cent value features a locomotive of the 1850 s.

This stamp is listed in a variation of shades from brown-purple to dull claret. The first five-cent stamp shows a likeness of Charles Connell, then postmaster of New Brunswick. Disregarding tradition, this stamp, although printed, was never released, and all copies were supposed to have been destroyed.

"Having the children didn't give me much time for painting. I still did a little, but it wasn't until the classes started at Willistead about ten years ago that I did any appreciable amount again." Then came her husband's sudden interest. "It has done a lot for me," admits Mr. Fleming. "As a businessman (he owns It is probably stretching a point to sug- Niagara St.

The 1212ent indigo shows the paddle-steamer Washington, built in 1847 for the Ocean Steam Navigation Co. The stamp was used to prepay packet postage. In the 17-cent black value which features the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, doubt has been expressed as to the used condition of the stamp, as no ea'-ly dated cover has ever been recorded.

The coffee habit is still maintained, but a lot of the former Viennese coffee house-goers now patronize espresso bars to down cups quickly and dash off again. "The younger generation is incapable of savoring coffee," said an old waiter in a back-alley cafe. "Like the tourists, they just ask for a cup of coffee and are satisfied with whatever is served." It was from Vienna that the coffee-drinking habit was introcaeed to the Western world in 1683. Defeated Turkish invaders' had left behind a few bags of mysterious brown beans.
