Those who find it a bore to answer half a dozen letters a week'should be Kings for. a month or so to know what hard work -in letter-writing really means. Our own King deals with 1000 letters and 30,000 newspapers daily; the German Emperor gets off with 600 to 700; the King of Italy receives about 500; the Queen of Holland has the somewhat moderate number of 100 to 150. The Pope heads the list, but then his dominions extend over several continents, nationalities and millions; and it is perhaps not surprising, therefore, that his daily receipt of letters and papers amounts from 22,000 to 23,000, and that he requires the services of 35 secretaries.
