BY A ROUNDABOUT ROUTE.
Course 01' a. Mlsslonary’s Letter from
' Pitcairn to Tahiti.
In the possession of one of the mis-
sionary party recently arrived from the
south seas on the Adventist vessel Pit-
cairn, is a. letter which has an inter-
esting and unique history. It traveled
about 25,000 miles, while the distance
between the mailing point and its desti-
nation is but 1,200 miles, and‘it went
the most direct route possible and did
not miscarry at any stage of its jour-
ney. The travels of the letter sent
from Pitcairn island to Tahiti show,
as nothing else can, the complete iso-
lation of the little Pacific paradise
founded by John Adams. Tahiti is only
about six days’ sail from Pit-cairn, and
is the source whence lovesick Pitcairn-
ers take their wives. But letter-writing,
although it forms an important part
of the courtship, is generally confined
to one letter, as when the answer is
received it is generally the arrival of
the bride. Except a small vessel or a
man-of—war consents to carry letters
between the two points, which oppor-
tunity rarely occurs, the only remain-
ing hope is from a passing ship, bound
from San Francisco or Portland to Eu-
rope. A gentleman now‘ residing in
Oakland was once deputed to carry the
Pit-cairn mail from Tahiti, and he told
the story of how it was done:
“We left San Francisco in the ship
City of Hankow, and were off Pitcairn
island on Christmas day. Only about
one ship makes the island, and as we
should lose no ground by waiting a.
few hours we hove to and signaled to
Adams point. Then the two boats
Queen Victoria and Admiral Drew came
oil‘ with two loads of vegetables. Gov.
McCoy also came off and asked us to
carry some letters to Tahiti. We rather
smiled at first, but when he produced
seven letters and told us that there
was no other way to send them we
consented, and after paying for our
fruit and vegetables we started on our
trip. Those letters were the cause of
a good deal of inconvenience. When
the captain landed at England he took
the letters ashore and went. to the post—
master. Then he was informed that he
must make an affidavit and must apply
to the postmaster-general for 1'4 cents,
the tariff for carrying letters from
countries not in the postal union.
Eventually the letters were landed in
the Falmouth post office, after we had
carried them about 13,000 miles. From
Falmouth they went Southampton, and
were sent in the usual course of events
to New York, another 3,000 miles. Then
they crossed to San Francisco and
were put on board one of the Aus’tralian
steamers oand put off at the nearest
pomt to Tahiti, their destination. The
remainder of the journey was covered

A Very Modern-Antique. I
All is not gold that glitters, and all
antiquities that come from Egypt are
not genuine. A lady who recently re-.
turned from that land qf mystery
brought with her a terra. cot-ta. figure
of a cat, which she saw with her own
eyes dug up out of the ruins of Kar-
nac. She paid a good price for it, and
was delighted with her purchase. Un-
fortunately, the other day it was
knocked down and smashed. Its head
was then found to be stuffed with old
numbers of the Birmingham Post, and
it bore other traces of being distinctly
of Brummagem origin—London Chron-

FAITHFUL BUT HEEPLEss.
Touching Tale of an Old Servant of Queen -
Victoria.
In the “Life of James Holmes” may be
found a pathetic story of a man named
Damer, the scion of aroyal house, who,
in the latter , part of the eighteenth
century, was one of the queen’s pages.
She grew to have a very warm regard
for him, but the time came when, on
account of increasing age and infirmity,
he was pensioned off, and some one else
was put in his place.
It- grieved him much to change his
habits, but he was in some degree con-
soled at being allowed to attend cer-
tain royal entertainments, and it was
at one of these that he distinguished
himself by a somewhat eccentric action
which greatly amused his former mis-
tress.
He was wandering forlornly about,
alone, when the queen, ever mindful of
her old and tried servants, hastened to-
ward him with extended hand and a.
word of kindly greeting.
He took the proffered hand and held
it for a moment, while he gazed with a
smiling though puzzled expression at
the queen. Then he said:
“I know that face! ' I know it as well
as I know any face, but—pardon me,
madam—I cannot for the life of me
recollect where I have seen it!”
“Poor Damer!” said the queen, with
a sorrowful smile, as she turned away.
“Poor Damerl” .
The old man looked after her for a
moment, and then asked a passing gar:
dener who the lady might be.
“Why, the queen.” . 5;
Damer laughed. " '
“I’m afraid,” said he, “her majesty
will think I have forgotten her!”
THE WEALTH OF NATIONS.
Our Country Has More Than a Quarter of
l: ~41 the World’s Riches.
' The wealth of the United States is
more than a fourth as great as that of
all of the rest of the world put to-
gether. So reports Prof. Francois, a
student of political economy, in a. re-
cent rumber of Monde Moderne, a
French publication.
He places the wealth of this country
at 313,000,000,000 francs—which‘ is
equivalent to about $62,600,000,000—and
that of the other eighteen countries,
covered 'by his statistics at 1,144,700,-
000,000 francs.-
According to this statistician the
value of all property owned in England,
including money in circulation, is 265,-
000,000,000 francs — 48,000,000.000 less
than this country’s wealth. Third place
is given to France with2‘35,000,000,000
and fourth to Germany with 161,000,-
000,000' francs. Then come Russia with
127,000,000,000, Austria-Hungary with
82,000,000,000, Spain With 62,000,000,000'
Italyiwith 54,000,000,000,or milliards and
—as the French say—-of francs.
These are the richest countries of the
world. There are four in the list—
Italy, Spain, Russia and Austria-Hun-
gary—whose combined wealth is only a
little larger than that of the United
States.
It is true that much of the wealth of
this country is in the hands of com-
paratively few people. Even if the
inequality were as bad as reported by
the worst of the discontents, the condi-
tion of the masses here would still be ‘
much better than it is in Europe.
IVealth is more concentrated even in
England than in the United States.
