In Mexico nearly every one is a
smoker. The school children who have
done well in their studies are reward
ed by being allowed to smoke cigar
as they stand or sit at their lessons.
The schoOlmaster is seldom without a
cigar in his mouth. In the law courts
all persons commonly enjoy their to-
bacco freely, and even the accused in
a criminal trial is not denied this in
diligence, but is allowed, if his cigar
cite goes out in the heat of the argu-
ment, to light it again by borrowing
that of the officer who stands at his
side to guard him.

The death rate of the principal pen.

notable feature in the semi-annual re-

different institutions being almost in

Sing Sing, the yearly deaths from
1000 inmates number trihe less than

over 90 The lowest rate named is 3,

Mississippi. The practice of letting
convicts for work on mines and rail
roads is declared to cause fearful death
rates in several southern states, and,
on the other hand, the New Hamp-

Vermont %, and in Connecticut Is.

The National railroad company of
Japan, incorporated with capital of
S20,OO0,O0O, under the auspices of the
Japanese government, two years ago,
has adopted the American system of
building railroads and is now con-
structing the main line which extends
from Toxic to Anderson, the northern
seaport of Japan, distance of $50
miles. A part of the main line, about
fifty miles in length, has already been
finished and will be open to the public
this month or next. The terminus of
the line is the commercial center of a
province where silk culture is the
principal occupation of the people.
The silk raised in this province is
highly esteemed in foreign markets
and is exported to America as well as
to Europe in large quantities every
year. 1t is expected that the whole
line will be finished within three
years.

Leonard Case Of Cleveland, a bache-
lOr millionaire and the munifcent
founder of the Case School of Applied
Science, was man of amiable charac-
ter, of fine culture and of remarkable
abilities, but his life was so clouded by
constant i'll health and by singular
constitutional shyness that his talents
were unknown even to his own towns
people, and hardly appreciated by his
few intimate friends. He wrote
poems, sketches and tales for his own
amusement,rarely publishing anything
but an occasional mathematical paper
in the transactions of the Smithsonian
Institution. The manuscript of a
complete novel, said to he excellent,
was found after his death in mass of
documents and is running now in the

In the trial and acquittal OF the Star
Route thieves there il but a useful les.
SON to be learned. The people must
learn in this practical way that the only
mode Of protecting the National Treasury
is to put capable and honest mon in the
executive departments. There is nc ade-
quate protection in the laws; it is not in
the ingenuity Of Congresses or Legisla-
lures to make an honest public service by
the imposition Of penalties to be enforced
by the courts. Unless the Executive
Department. the men who make con.
tracts and dispense the revenues, are
themselves honest and capable. resolutely
determined to reject shams and conduct
the public business with the vigilance
and attention to details which are used in
private Affairs, there will be constant
repetitions Of the Star Route frauds and
other similar raids upon and robberies of
she public treasury. 1t is utterly futile
to look to the courts. The experienced
psculator and the trained professional
