UNIVERSAL POSTAGE STAMP
One Of Five-Cent Denomination q
Necessity in Many
Countries.

The postal authorities of the Neither.
lands are inaugurating an innovation
that is not unlikely will be adopted
BY other countries in the postal union,
to-wit: carrying stock of the stamps
Of other countries Of the value of five
cents, the denomination of the stamp
required to frank letters from one
country to another. There is great
need of universal postage stamp of
the value Of five cents. At present a
citizen Of the United States cannot
write to a person in England and en-.
close reply postage because the five
cent United States stamp would not
be available for postage in England.
Thus far it has been impossible to ar.
range for this universal stamp be.
cause of the slight difference in none
tary standards of the various coun-
tries. This may be worked out later
but the Dutch government is going
long way toward solving the problem
by carrying in stock the five-cent
stamps Of the United States. the 21s
penny stamps of Great Britain, the 20
pfennig stamps of Germany, the % Gen.
times stamps of France, etc. Thus
person in Netherlands writing to a
man in this country will be able to en-
close a five-cent stamp to frank the re-
ply desired. Following this plan. the
United States would carry on sale at
Its leading Offices the stamps of Enc-
land, Germany, France, Netherlani,
etc, of the value corresponding to our
Ave-cent stamp. 1t is probable the mat
ter will be brought to the attention of
the United States postal authorities
and a small appropriation may be set
aside for the purchase of stamps for
this purpose. Once made the appropri-
alton would never have to be renewed
- the revenue from the sale of these
stamps would always buy additional
supplies.

RACE SUICIDE, IN ENGLAND.
There Is Imminent Danger to the
Empire from Decreased
Birth Rate.

Ensland's. birth rate is declining. 1t
toucaed its highest point, since regis
tration began in 1888, in 1876. To-day
1t is at its lowest. The children OF the
most prolific mothers those Of 1876
are the most unproductive mothers.
The reason assigned for the frightful
decline is the decay Of the maternal
instinct" Only IS per cent. as many
little ones see the light, now, or remain
in it, as saw It 30 years ago. No one
factor, however, can account for the
entire falling on.
The fact is there are many causes
Notably among the most prominent liz
the advanced age at which persons
marry and the fact that great many
never marry. Previous to 1876 the mari
riage rate was 16 to 1711s per 1000. To
day il is 151k. The claim made forf
years by leading economists that popu-I
lation was supposed to vary with thei
food supply is being doubted. It fails,
to mold good in England, for at no
time In the past was food SO cheap or
80 abundant as it is to-day.
