ROYAL PHILATELIST.
Many of the Royal families in Europe have a member who collects postage stamps. Queen Wilhelmina of Holland and tho King of Servia have for years been placing stamps in beautiful albums, but of late, it is said, that their interest in the work has somewhat waned. On the other hand, the Prince of Wales is an ardent philatelist, and it is impossible for anyone to deceive him as to the market value of a stamp. Pope Leo XIII. has a collection of exceptionally rare stamps, and frequently spends his leisure moments in examining them.
