ARMY statistics in France and Ger
many bring out clearly the fact that
the latter country has better sys-
tenn Of elementary education than it's
rival. Out Of 253, III recruits incor-
porated in the Germany Army during
last year 6l7 only were unable to
read or write-that Is to say, "a per
10000. In France, on the other
hand, out OF 843, 651 who drew for
the CONSUMPTION no fewer than
22.096, or CAB per 10000, were SINH
larly illiterate.

ness to believe anything that prom

as the audacity of the INSCRIPTIONS
rascals by whom they are sometimes
heeced, tells the story OF al adven-
turer who persuaded number Of the
peasantry in some districts in Russia
to hand over to his keeping all their
worldly possessions with view Of
emigrating, under his guidance, to
the planet Jupiter, where they were
to find land in abundance, easy to
work and marvelously fertile.
CONCLUDING an editorial article in
advocacy OF good country roads the
New York Tribune says: In Massa-
chusetts there is q permanent High
way Commission, under whose au-
thority $500, QUO is being expended in
building State roads. This sum has
been divided among fourteen coun-
ties. The general plan is to build,
section by section, roads to connect
business centers, and join them with
through roads in other States.
Colonel Pope, who Is an enthusiast
on the subject OF good roads, is con-
WINGED that the Massachusetts, plan
is superior to that of any other
State. Certain it is that Massachu-
sets has taken hold OF the matter in
earnest and with intelligence.
DIR. HOWARD, of Baltimore. in an
address to the American Medical As
ISOLATION, has endeavored to give an
analytical account Of The mystery of
hypnotism. Every phenomenon of
this strange influence is referred by
him to ''suggestion"-this word be-
ing in this use technical term,
which means that one mind controls
another by irresistibly suggesting its
line of thought. Self is not an en-
tity independent of the organism"
The individual, the eye, the human
entity, is q product OF the bodily
structure. There is no soul which
has body for it's house. There is a
body which has soul or mind as an
attribute OF it's physical existence.
This soul or mind may vary as the
body does. Alter the relations of
the various structural elements of
the body and you alter the self"
Suggestion from superior mind as
Stimulates the other creature to itself;
and so controls its mental and physi-
cal operations. Under bad inhu-
ence anybody may be Mr.. Hyde;
under good one everybody is DIR.

A LITTLE over nine years ago Chi
cago's Haymarket tragedy occurred.
On the night of May 4, 1886, a bomb
was thrown into the ranks OF the
police, who had gone to dispense an
anarchist meeting. One policeman
was killed outright, six were NOR
tally wounded, and sixty more or
less injured. The number of the
crowd killed or hurt was never known.
Chicago never witnessed excitement
so intense, and she at once achieved
the reputation of being the center OF
anarchism for the whole world. No
one event ever brought labor troubles
and agitation to the notice OF so many
people, and probably no other infiu-
ence has done so much to cause q
widespread study Of social economy.
Four men were hanged for'the Hay
market crime, and one killed himself
in Jail by blowing his head to pieces

in his mouth. twas never discov-
cred who threw the bomb. When it
exploded it blew Chicago anarchy to
pieces and answered the directly OPP
