HLi1ERATE iMMi0RANTS.

While the question Of applying an
educational test to all immigration Is
before Congress the following brief
table shows the necessity for adopting
some such measure Of self.prOtection
against that coming from Italy: Ital.
ian immigration to March 81, this
year, 13,046; illiterates In same. 1901 !;
per cent. Of illlteracy among Italians.
500. But worse exhibit than this
appears from the manifcsts OF 3,174
immigrants over IA years of age ar.
irving at the port Of New York during
April. 1906, on four steamers from
Genoa and Naples. The examina ton
and analysis yielded the following star.
Ting information: Total immigrants
examined, 3.17i; percentage Of males,
S0.?; percentage Of females, 1O.S; total
llliterates. 2,147; per cent. illiterate,
67.6; percentage male illiteracy, O8.5;
percentage female illiteracy, 75.7. OF
this mass Of undesirable immigrants
only 107, or o. per cent, were dc.
barred under existing immigration
laws. In the face Of such facts as
these will anyone say that we ought
not to apply an educational test to
all immigrants? The man who can.
not read and write the language OF
the country he leaves Is not fit for
citizenship In the country to which he
brings nothing but his ignorance and
misery.

THE LATE BARON HiRSCH.

Though Baron Maurice de Hirsch was
of distinguished ancestry and the In.
heritor Of great wealth. his memory
will be revered for what he was and
what he did. The world cannot but
admire the genius of a man who had
his phenomenal grasp of great affairs.
who could seize opportunities before
they were conceived by the ordinary
mind, and who could go unerringly
to the accomplishment of stupendous
undertakings In which millions were in
volved. But 1t was not this rare power
that insures the lasting fame of Baron
Hirsch. The true nobility of the man
appeared In his intense sympathy for
the poor, the unfortunate and the op.
pressed, which found eloquent expires.
sion In the gift of millions for their
relief. He was munificent giver,
but without ostentation and without
thought less worthy than that of anne.
liorating the condition of his afflicted
race. His philanthropy was on the
same magnificent scale rs his opera
tons In the business world and the
ability that guided the one was only
outshone by the unselfish charity that
prompted the other. The death of his
son may have been the Christening AZ.
Fiction that stirred the heart of the
father to deeds Of mercy and human
ity: but the man who could be so
moved possessed all the innate virtues
so admired In the career of the dead
baron. The man who would give forty
millions to one good cause and make
two continents the bcneficiaries of his
bounty. deserved all the prosperity
that came to him. and left a lesson
that the rich men of the world should
take to themselves. There could be
no greater worldly happiness than he
enjoyed In the consciousness of duty
done and the blessings his charity In.

CHANGES IN THE EGYPTIAN ARMY.

The movements In the Upper Nile
country show the changes that have
taken place In the Egyptian army. At
the time Gen. Hicks and his 10000
troops We're defeated his force consist
ed Of Egyptian fellahin, poorly discip.
lined and wanting In courage. Long
continued abuses had made 1t ineffec-
tive The brutality Of the native OFF,
GERS had made military service dread
ed, and the advance on the Soudan
was without heart. The officers Of the
old army We're selected on no fixed
principle, and there was no provision
for the comfort of the privates. Some
times they received the little pay prom.
ised them, bur more frequently the
officers confiscated tiff they happen
ed to be short OF funds, which was
usually the case. Such were the troops
yanqulshed by the Mahdi. The en-
gagement In Glnnls In 1855, where
Gen. Wolseley was In command, was
the first check 10 the Soudanese, flush
ed with the victory at KhartOum, and
II was largely due to the 'black"
troops from above Ehartoum, who, as
part Of the Egyptian forces, revenged
themselves on their old-time Oppres-
sors. These men now comprise large
part Of the Khedive's forces. Against
the old army We're opposed the legions
Of the Mahdi, Jealous In the belief their
leader was inspired, Of ferocious cour-
age. and Indifference to all danger.
Now the Egyptian army is thoroughly
trained. Many Of the officers are Eng
llsmmen, and 1t has proved It's efficacy
on many hard-fought field around
Wady Halfy. The new army Is the
creation mainly Of Sir Evelyn Wood,
and Its present condition Is due to the
English officers. In fact they have

far as 1t Is involved In the conduct OF
war. A large part Of the force Is now

A NAPOLEON OF FINANCE.

A young man who recently made an
assignment In Boston, owing $4,000
and without any visible assets, seems
to possess all the necessary qualifica-
tons for Napoleon of finance. He
induced the leading business houses
Of Boston to sell him large bills of
goods, and, after buying expensive
jewelry, hall clocks, cigars, carriages
and clothes and filling his house with
costly furniture, transferred all this
property to his wife, made an assign
ment ana assured his creditors that
he "wOuld try to settle with them on
a basis Of 10 cents on the dollar, II he
could get his wife to agree to It," Sew.
eral misguided gentlemen who have
got into trouble by holding up pedes-
trians and blowing open safes will see
from this Boston episode that they
have not yet learned the A B G of pro-
gressive, up-t0-date robbery.

NOTED EN0LiSHMAN DEAD

Thomas Hughes Is dead. No good
American should be Indifferent to the
fact, for America never had a better
friend than he. Throughout our civil
war he battled steadfastly against the
hostility to the Union cause. then so
strangely prevalent In English society.
Visiting this country at later date, he
entered into cordial relations with our
men Of letters, particularly Lowell.
Probably none Of his many benevolent
enterprises was closer to his heart than
the planting Of an English settlement
at Rugby, In Tennessee, In which his
was the moving spirit. In his own
country he was respected as a jurist,
rs q public man, as student Of social
questions and Of history. But his
strongest claim on all English.speak.
Ing people Is one which young readers
will doubtless be very ready to &C.
knowledge. He wrote "TOm Brown at
Rugby" and "TOm Brown at Oxford"
1t Is hardly too much to say that In the
first Of these books he set the pace for
all writer's Of stories for the young
who have followed him. Indeed, 1t
may be said that he opened up new
field Of healthy and helpful literature
for boys and girls. Who that has ever
read the bOok-and what man or boy
Of us all has not?-will ever forget
Tom, or Harry East, or Arthur; or the
football match, or the fight; or the
great DR.. Arnold, revered alike by the
hero and the author? How to preach
and yet not be prOsy, how to put real
livebOys into their books, and not mere
distractions Of youthful vice or virtue
this Is what Thomas Hughes taught
to writers for the young. For this he
should have the heartiest gratitude Of
boys of all ages who speak the English
tongue.
