POSTAGE srAMPs.-Few people, perhaps
realize of how recent origin is the postage
stamp. 1t was first issued by Great Britain
In 1910. Brazil was the first nation to fol-
low the example. which they did in lS43,
and in 1S47 the United States began the use
of postage stamps There are now I'll
STAN p-issping countries. 1t is estimated
now that every year some $50, 0OO, OOO, 900
letters are posted in the world. America
leads with about $500. 0O0, 900, and England
follows with 100000, 900. Japan now mails
annually 81, 1000, 900 letters, and the cancel
led stamps on these letters are worth an
average Of one cent each. Last year there
were $4,000 letters posted in England WIN
ont auy address on them. In 1,6OO OF these
gold coins and money were inclosed. Inc
cancelled postage stamps of many countries
are worth quite as much as unused speci-
mems. and many are issued solely Tor col
Iections, the revenue being an lmPortant
item. Monaco is the latest to issue stamps;
but Stellaland, with its fifty houses ana
three stores" is probably the most insgni-
cant, even more so than Heligoland or the
Virgin Islands. Bhopal has the Oldest stamp,
Nicaragua the finest, Siberia the largest,
Zealand the smallest, Guatemala the most
striking and Sarawak and Great Britain
divide the honor of having the cheapest and
meanest.- Brookviue (Pa.) Democrat.
