How She Learned EngIlsh.

Modjeska's account of how she learned
English is a lesson to those who would
triumph in their undertakings. Located
in San Francisco, with her husband and
boy lying sick in the mountains Of south
California, the plucky Polish woman
started in with vim to conquer our lam
guage, so that she might speak it upon
the stage. Her first teacher was Ger
man, and several weeks were wasted in
learning English which was favored
with such strong German accent that
it all had to be unlearned. The next
teacher was young Polish woman who
spoke excellent English, and who taught
Nine. Modjeska each day from in the
morning until 8 o'clock at night. Her
first appearance was such decided sue
cess that Modjeska telegraphed just one
word to her husband, and that word was,
victory" In Modjeska's own words,
"a new career in new country was open
TO me, and the waves Of the Bay Of San
Francisco no more called me to their cold
embrace.

A Fatal Mistake,

Physicians make no more fatal mis-
take than when they inform patients that
nervous heart troubles come from the

The Welsh Tin Plate Workers Looking
Westward,

LONDON, June sO.-The stoppage of
the Welsh tin-plate works has made
the operatives angry. They contend
that a cessation of one week per month
would answer the same purpose and
evert distress. 1t has been decided by
the workers to send sixty of their num-
Der to America to ascertain the pros
poets for profitable employment there.
American agents are here buying the
latest improved machinery and are Of
fering over double the wages paid on
this side of the ocean,
The Times says: Should the sixty
delegates report favorably upon the
prospects for tin-plate workers in the
United States, it is not unlikely that
there will be so large an exodus to
America as to lead to a great part of
the trade hitherto monopolized by
Wales being transferred to America
Hitherto the idea has been that it was
impossible to manufacture tin plates in
America, owing to atmospheric condi-
tions, but tin-plate makers who accom-
panied the iron and steel institute dele
gates to America reported that there
was nothing except the want of skilled
labor to prevent the successful manu-
facture of tin plates in America"

DisorganIzation of Labor Affecting the
Returns of the brazilian Coffee Crop
Progress of the Argentine Republic i'm
Population, Material Wealth and Debt
Accumulation.
WASHINGTON. June 26.-The bureau
of American republics reports that esti-
mates of the Brazilian coffee crop of
1S9O-91 now coming into market con-
tinuc to diminish. The first estimate
was 5,000,000 bags: the next $500, 600,
and now it is believed that the crop will
not exceed 100000 bags. Notwith-
standing the incentive of higher prices
than have ever been paid before. the
daily receipts do not average over 5000
bags. Disorganization of labor is the
chief difficulty, and should it continue
it is believed that the coffee crop of
1912 now placed at s,OOO,00O or 9,0O0,-
600 bags, will not yield more than
6.OOh. 900 or 1903 oJo bags.
A statistical summary of the growth
of the Argentine Republic since 1861
shows that in thirty years the popula-
tion has increased from l,350 900 to -
900, 900: and the number of acres in cul-
tivation from $4,000 to 1000. GOO. In
1861 the only railroad in existence was
from Buenos Ayres to Merlo, distance
IF Is miles Now there are over 5000
miles of railroad open to traffic and
1000 more in course of construction.
Commerce and the national wealth
have multiplied five times over within
the same period. but the public debt
has increased in much greater proper
ton. 1t was S17, 900. 900 in 1861, in 1890
it was S4Ol, ,OOO. 900, exclusive of cedulas
and the paper currency. which would
raise it to S613. 900, 900.
The bureau of American republics is
in receipt of information that ques-
tions of boundary, which have been
pending for many years as to the linn
itations of possession of France and
Holland in Guiana. are now on the
point of final adjustment, greatly to the
advantage of Holland.
