How 1t Was Written.
From the Lcndon Mail.


Rudyard Kiplng has again been framed
by the wiles of the interviewer. this time
somewhere in mid-Atlantic. Kipling's fel-
low-voyager had heard of the last ATTEMPT
on the authors (private) life, when in reply
to an innocent question concerning his
poems the writer of "Barrack- room Bal
lads curtly remarked he thought Kipling
a much overrated man, and turned on his
heel and walked away.
So the wise interviewer couyersed with
kiplinS on every subject under the sun but
his own works, until in weak moment the
famous author began unconsciousy to talk
OF himself and his poems. The interviewer
then ventured cautious appreciation of
the Recessionaf'-and sends the result to
the Daily Mail.
"Ah,' said kipling, that poem gave me
more trouble than anything l ever wrote
l had promised the Times a poem on the
jubilee, and when it became due | had
written nothing that satisfied me- The
Times began to want that poem badly and
sent letter after letter asking for it,
Il made many more attempts but no
further progress. Finally, the Times began
sending kilograms. So l shut myself i'm nv
room, with a determination to stay there
until L had written a jubilee poem Sit
ting down with all my previous attempts
before me, searched through those dozens
of sketches, till at last | found lust one
line l liked. That was Lest we forget :,
Round these words the 'Recessionar was

Sir Rowland Hill, the great English pos
tai reformer. was at one time a schoolmas-
ter. After he had taught for a number of
years his health gave way, and finding a
change necessary he decided to travel.
While travelling in the north of England
in 1884 he stopped one morning at an inn
just as 4 postman came to deliver letter
The letter was for the iankeeper's young
daughter. She took it from the postman,
carefully examined it on both sides, ana
then asked the amount of postage due.
'One shilling, the poslman answered.
The girl at once handed him the unopened
letter and said:
Il am sorry l cannot receive the letter,
for it. is from my brother, but l have not
the money to pay so much postage"
Mr.. Hill overheard the conversation be-
tween the postman and the girl. and he
paid the postage. The girl blushed, and
seemed greatly confused when the letter
was again given to her; and as soon as the
postmsn had gone she told Mr.. Hill that
the letter was merely a trick between her
self and her brother. Certain marks on the
wrapper told her all she wished to know,

This incident gave Sir Rowland Hill
Something TO think about" and he kept
thinking until postal reform became the OBJ
ject of his life. He was thoroughly con-
WINGED that a postal system that caused
even the boys and girls of the land 20 re-
sort to trickery anG deception must indeed
be a very harmful one.
He entered the British civil service in
1885. and in 1897 brought forward In PAM
phlet form "a plan OF uniform penny post
GEe." His plan was much opl,,sed but he
lahored faithfully, untiringly. and at last
convinced the house of commons that the
penny postage system would enrich the
government and be a real blessing 10 all of
the queens subjects.
Accordingly, in 1910. 1t was decided that
letters weighing not more than half an
ounce should be sent for a penny: anl

age of eighty-three years, and is buried IN

WORLDS GOLD CROP
An Abundance of the Yellow Metal
in the United States.
HAS BECOME A DRUG IN THE TREASURY
Scarcity Of Paper Money Has Been
Seriously Felt
NEED OF SOME REMEDY

An increase of nearly 40 per cent in the
worlds stock of gold money during the last
seven years will be indicated in the forth
coming report of the director of the mint.
A table was prepared by Director Leech in
1893 showing the ascertained and estimated
stock of money in all the countries of the
world, This table has been rectified from
year to year by information obtained from
United States ministers and consuls and
from economic journals, until now it is be-
lieved to come near as possible to the
exact facts. Whatever errors may have
been made in the original calculations, there
is no doubt in the increase of the supply of
gold money within the five years, because
the figures are based chiefly upon the re-
corded production of gold and the coinage
of the mints.
The worlds production of gold since the
discovery of America has been about 80 600, :
00o,00O. Only about half of this is in use as
money in the form of gold coin or gold bars
The stock of gold money in the world at
the beginning of the year 1893 was comput-
ed by the mint bureau at So 419. 800, 900. The
production since that time has been about
81 ,400,00o,o00 This would have increased
the gold money at the close of the present
year to $4,SUU, ,ptpUoO if all the gold pro-
duced had been employed as money. There
is reason to believe, however, that the fig
ures OF the gold supply made by the mint
bureau in 1893 were below the mark More
complete returns were received from several
leading countries in the following years
and the estimate Of the gold money of the
world was advanced on january / 1Sq5 to
81, ,0S6, SOC. 600 The increase in four wears
since that time has been about $3.50 900 900
and will raise the gold money of the world
10 %,souooo,WD at the beginning of the new
year, upon the basis of the estimate of 1890
This result is obtained by allowing a con-
sumption of $G0. 900 900 each wear in the
arts from the new gold Of the year or from

An Example 10 England

From the London Daily Mail.
The figures for American exports in 1898
are so prodigious as to confound the free
trader An increase of f3600OOoO in one
year is simply phenomenal. But the time
has ccme for England to reconsider her
whole economic position. The state abroad
everywhere comes to the traders and to
the manufacturers aid, and secures for.
them the home market. in England the
state stands aloof, and bids the trader or
shipper fight his own battle. That il Is
often a losing battle is not ground for sur
prise
The imposition of tariff upon non-Amer-
ican imports into Cuba, Porto Rico and
Hawaii must be taken as a final proof that
American support for the "open-door'' pol-
icy in the far east cannot be counted upon
America can hardly stand by that policy
in one quarter of the globe while rejecting
it in her new conquests.

The Automobile Becoming Popular.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
NV Workers are ceasing to look upon the
automobile as 4 toy and beginning to
realize its practical value. During the sum-
ner of 1897, when Lieut.. Eames and
Dick Peters took some automobiles to
Newport, several cottasers bought expen-
sive ones for use as playthings, and for
time the costly fda took precedence over all
others. 1t was not until this fall, however,
that the owners of smart traps could be
persuaded to give up their horses in the
city and use a humming buzzing electric
cab one of the first persons to set a new
fashion in this regard is Mrs. John Jacob
Astor. Mrs. Astor seldom uses her horses
after dark. She has made special arrange
ments with an electric cab concern where
by handsome automobile and a reliable
driver are at her disposal every evening
Mrs. Schermerhorn has followed her eX-
ample. and in all probability many other
persons will do SO. Society has not yet
taken to riding in horseless carriages in
the daytime but the report that hundred
or more of these cabs are to be on the
streets presently shows that the matter is
growing beyond the proportions of a fad
