HONESTY IN ICELAND.
Crime Is Almost Unknown There and
All Glasses of Society Are

To the average reader Iceland is a.
little known as the interior Of Africa
Yet Iceland is a famous country. "a
nous for the achievements OF its
heroes, for the poetry and prose It has
given 10 the world, and above all. for
the education that pervades all classes.
The love Of learning Is almost a
mania in Iceland and II is the rarest
thing in the world to meet a native
who cannot read and write.
Another admirable trait Is the re-
markable honesty which prevails ia
Iceland. Crime is almost unknown;
the people never lock their doors. and
but two cases Of thieving are known
TO have taken place within many
years.
One was an Icelander who had

the winter were suffering for food

OF the territory through which the

nave been secured by any other expend-
iture.
The Spaniards did not seem 10 regard
a road as necessary or even desirable
unless IT would serve a military Dur
pose. The railway from Manila TO Dag-
upan gave them ample means Of trans
porting troops, ammunition and stores
between those places, and beyond Dag
upan they built fine, broad macadam-
lied boulevard as far as Nigan. There
is a similar highway across the island
near its southern extremity. General
ly speaking, however, Luzon has no
roads, except these two, that can be
Travelled by a vehicle in the rainy sea-
son, and few Of them are navigable on
horseback. Naturally the Filipinos do
