Interesting Postal Statistics

The Economist Frdncaise has made an
interesting compilation of postal statis-
tics, from which it appears that there
were handled in the post-offices of Europe
In 1875, 2, ,922, 600, ,000of letters and postal
cards, and l, ,446, 600, 900 of newspapers
and samples. In non European countries
the number of letters and postal cards
handled in the same year was $50, ,0OO. 600.
making a total of 5000, ,OOO, 600 letters
which the post offices in the world have
handled in a single year, equal to 10, 6O0,-
600 daily, or 442 900 hourly night and day.
Of the whole number OF letters, more
than three-fourths were handled in Great
Brltain and her Colonies, and the United
States, Germany, France and Austria.
There are three letters written, On an av-
erage, Tor every man, woman and child
III the world; but the general average is
materially reduced by the small number
of letters written in those countries which
are low In the scale of civilization.
Great Britain leads both in the number of
letters ana IN the number pro rata of the
population, the whole number handled
belng 100000, 900, or 80 for every inhab-
liant. The United States is second on the
list in number, with 705, ,OOO, 900 letters,
and third pro rata. In proportion to pop
ulation, the number handled in the
United States was only about half that of
England. This disparity is probably ac-
counted for by the greater density of pop
ulation in Great Britain, and the small
area, which make the mails more availa-
BILE for the speedy transmission of bust
ness communications (which constitute
the bulk of correspondence than they are
in the United States with its great ex-
panse OF territory, and by the fact that
Great Britain is the great manufacturing
country of the world. and is proud to ac-
cept the title, once sneeringly bestowed
upon her, of "a Nation of shopkeepers." ]"
Nextto Great Britain, the country with
he greatest pro rata is Switzerland, with
