Education In RusRia.

A few figures, taken from official sources,
and referring to the first years Of the pres
ent decade, will throw considerable light
on the matter of popular education in Rus
STA. About 200, 900 recruits are yearly en-
listed in the army, and of these only about
80, 900 can read. Among the peasants
proper the percentage of illiterates rises to
80 per cent. In some parts there is only
one school to each 200 villages. If Russia
had the same proportion as her neighbor,
Sweden, for example she would have about
$50, 900 schools, while she actually has only
5000. Again, take Russia's enormous
budget of 1000, 600, 600 rubles. OF this
only 500, 900 Is devoted to popular educa =
tion-that is, one-eleventh part of what is
devoted to the maintenance of the imperial
court, one six-hundredth part of the cost
of the army, and one two-thousandth part
of the whole At about the same time
Great Britain was spending about 80, 600,
600 for elementary education, etc, with a
population little more than third of that
of Russia. Moreover, about two thirds Of
this paltry sum of 800, 900 rublcs goes in
salaries of inspectors. In the Land Of

LIFE IN JAPAN.

most interesting incidents of the entertain

actor that the OccidCnt knows yet very lit
tie about. The air is excessively simple
and must be sung in a low, slow way.
But every tone in it is "a tone of penCtrat-
ing irony, the tono of one expressing
amused contempt for an enemy, yet care
full not to seem boastful. Now it is just
this vocal irony which takes n japanese
audience by storm provoking wild shouts

occasion even before the girl had finished
the first four lines.

His First Recognition.

waiting in the anteroom for an audience
with the president he became communica

He told how well he had known all the

De Lome's Career.

Enrique Dupuy dc LONE is what may
be called a professional diplomatist. In
Europe they train men for this service,
while in this country we pick them up, as
a rule, at haphazard, through political con
siderations. The Spanish minister is As
years old. He was educated at the cele-
brated University of Barcelona. He studied
law and was admitted to practice, but
then entered upon diplomatic career.
After several years in the department OF
state at Madrid he became third secretary.
For two years he was in the Spanish lega-
ton in Japan. Then he was sent to Brus'
sells. In 1850 he was sent as first secretary
to Bnenos Ayres, and in 1882 he became
first secretary at Washington. He after
ward served at Berlin. In 1898 he was the
Spanish commissioner at the Worlds fair
i'm Chicago and was afterward appointed
minister to Washington by Canovas, the
present premier. 1t will thus be seen that
Mr. de LONE has had "a thorough training
and that he is cosmopolitan. He speaks
six or seven languages, and is "A man of
great shrewdness and ability. He is ap-
proachable and affable, but an intense
Spaniard and royalist. He has family

tween the two nations. J ne minister has
met all these things with the calmness and
dignity of trained diplomatist. He has
even succeeded In creating a small but &C
tive pro-Spanish party here. He did not
lack for a spokesman in the senate when
the resolution recognizing the belligerency
of Cuba was under consideration. Under
the former administration Mr. DE LONE
was more successful than he has been with
this one In President Cleveland and Secre-
tary Olney he found conservative spirit
which aided him greatly in preserving the
peaceful relations of the two countries.
A Hard Job.
AT times the spanish minister mas Deen
sadly perplexed by the difficulties of his
position. Now and then he has been i'll
as result of his work and worry. Be-
tween public opinion, the dreadful Ameri-
can newspapers, congress, the filibusters
and his own government at Madrid, which
was inclined to look for achievement of
the impossible, Mr.. De LONE has had
merry time of it. A year or two ago at
Madrid they had the idea that II there was
an outbreak of Cuban sympathy In this
country 1t must be through the negligence
Of their minister. All they knew was that
they had sent him here for the purpose of
keeping the Yankees in check that they
supplied him with ample funds, and they
naturally were inclined to hold him re-
sponsible for anything that might happen.
Sonora De LONE once said to one of her
social friends
"It Is all very well for your people to
talk about recognizing the belligerency or
the independence of Cuba. But what do
you suppose they would do with my poor
Enrique when they got him back in Spain?
They would hang him."
But matters are not as bad as that now.
The Spanish have finally learned that pub
lie opinion on this side the water is not to
be controlled by court or diplomacy. Min
lister de LONE has done the best he could
as well as any one could have done under
such discouraging circumstances. There
is great deal of admiration here for the

A WEAK OBJECTION.

Still another criticism has been leveled
against Mr.. Olncy's arbitration treaty, and
St Is possible that it may cut considerable
figure before the matter is finally adjust
od by the senate. 1t Is apprehended by the
critics that England may claim certain
rights in Nicaragua under the Clayton
Rulwcr treaty. and insist upon their arbi-
tration under article of the new treaty.
How England can set up any claims in
Nicaragua under the Clayton-Rulwer
agreement is difficult TO understand. At the
time it was made. in 1850, it gave satisfac-
tion neither to the English nor TO the
Americans. and neither has regarded it as
other than dead letter. So unsatisfactory
was it tina: in 1856 the DaIlas-CIarendon
treaty was prepared TO take its place. and
in lS51 the president recommended in his
message the abolition OF both.
II will bc remembered that the provisions
Of this treaty arranged for a sort of part
norship between the United States and
England in the construction Of ca
nal across Nicaragua, which was to be
controlled by both nations II was built
expressly upon concession from the Mic
aragua government to an American COM

Il provided that neither nation should as

THE WAY TO HELr THEM.

This is the time when the distress of
the needy is severest-midwinter. There
are in Kansas City to-day hundreds of poor
creatures-some CT them worthy and some
unworthy. but all human beings-who
would be in n starving condition within the
next twenty-four hours If they did not re-
ceive charitable help. 1t is necessary to
give this help, and it is given. And 1t would
be given still more freely If it were not
that citizens are afraid of being imposed
on-'worked' by professional deadbeats.
To save themselves from this imposition
they have adopted the plan of referring
applicants for a meals victuals or a nights
lodging to the Helping Hand.
And this is right and proper The Help
ing Hand is a worthy institution which
looks after just such cases. 1t performs
the same kind of service for transient and
emergency sufferers that the Provident
Association docs for resident families.
From one hundred TO four hundred home
less men. women and children are housed
every night at the quarters of this refuge.
But while sending to the Helping Hand
your charity cases. do not forget to send
also your contributions. The demands OIL
the society are large and 1t is struggling
hard to meet them. 1t is at present behind
in its funds and needs help badly.
