The heads of the government work
hard for the improvement Of their
country and thoroughly realize that
education is the primary cause Of ele-
waiting a nation. Each state strives
for the betterment of its people and
there Is no reason except that of indo-
lence for ignorance among the grow

ernor of the state Of Mexico. AS the
result of his arduous labors Toluca.
capital of his state, boasts Of the fin-
est colleges in the republic outside
Of Mexico City. At the Normal School
for Girls, which has an attendance Of
600, girls learn all modes of gaining
living. Everything is taught them
law. music, art, photography, stem
ography, languages. sciences, book
broidery and making flowers, nearly
all the best teachers in Mexico being
educated here. Those among the girls
who have money pay for their school,
ing and those who have not are sup
ported by the state. Most Of the lat
ter are Indians.
The boys have a similar college.
An institute is being built which when
completed will accommodate 1000
students in all studies, law and medi-
cine being the most important. Gov
ernor Villada takes a keen interest in
the schools of his state and they are
under his personal supervision. He
has travelled extensively and gathered
material for his public libraries and
museums, which are portion of his
educational method.
Way down in Chiapos, the most
southern state in the republic, where
there are no railroads, Governor Ra-
fael Pimental has just completed the
erection of a Normal school. Teach
ers will be sent out from this college
to enlighten the children of the sur
rounding country. These schools are
non-sectarian and are all under the
general head of the government. The
average Mexican is good student,
painstaking and anxious to learn.
They are very fond of English, and al
though it is very difficult for them to
pronounce it, they speak 1t well. In
many of the mountain districts it is
difficult to place schools on account

The peon does not learn to advance
rapidly, but it is the fault Of his de-
sire rather than his intellect. A
kindly gentleman once tried to ex-
plain to a Seon porter in hotel that
it would be better for him to expand
his brain with learning than crush 1t
with the heavy loads he carried on his
head. He thought for a while and
then answered that trunk was heavy
enough for his to carry without the
additional weight of knowledge.

NEW FISH IN SUPERIOR.
Successful Planting of steelhead Salmon
by the Government.

Successful fl8ntln8 OF oteeihoau Soimoh
by the Government.
An interesting experiment has been
under way for the past four years by
the United States fish commission at
the station at Duluth, MINI. 1t has
now resulted in the successful plant
ing and acclimation in Lake Superior
Of a new food fish. This is the famous
steelhead salmon of the Pacific, a salt
water fish exclusively heretofore. 1t
was believed that this fish would thrive
in the cold, fresh water Of Lake SUI
perior, where so many other salmoni-
dae grow. Four years ago, therefore,
the commission sent here several thou
sand fry and planted them on the
north shore Of the lake, near Port Ar
thur and at Silver Islet, both points on
the Canadian side. The following year
a larger number was planted off Isle
Royale, and since then the planting
has been kept up. Now from time to
time the catch of an occasional steel
head is reported, and from the size of
those found 1t Is estimated they are
growing about a pound a year in these
fresh waters. 1t is also evident from
certain notifications Of some Of those
specimens caught, that they have been
propagating and increasing naturally.
Fish of this kind five pounds in weight
have been caught the past few days.
These salmon are now spawning, and
notices are being sent out, asking all
fishermen who find them in their nets
to throw them back in the water, in
order that the work of the government
may be aided as fast as possible. The
saltwater steelhead salmon as modi-
fed by existence in Lake Superior is
said to have most delicate flavor, to
be well shaped and nrm, and to have

Portable Churches.

There are portable churches, as we'll

church in Pennsylvania is thinking Sc

lions not yet financially able to erect
permanent buildings. These movable
churches are made of corrugated gal

framework, which framework il COW

Hotel Guests,

LAKEWOOD, N. J.. March p, 1901.
While Lakewood is at all times during its
season a typical winter resort owing to
the mild and invigorating climatic condi-
lions prevalent, the return OF warm wealth
er is sure to remove the scruples Of the
most fastidious and for full ten days now
the crowded resort hotels have refused
many applications for room accommoda-
ton. Outdoor sports now demand the bulk
Of attention from hotel guests, and the
golf links at both clubs are daily covered
with those in practice for the spring tour
naments. The polo grounds at Georgian
Court are being put in the best of condi-
ton and team practice there is a diversion
for large crowds of onlookers of an after
noon. The April tournament is dated as
from April 20 to May IL, and Mr.. Could
has this year invited the crack polo team
of the Berlingame Country Club at San
Francisco to participate, as well as eastern
teams. Dates for drag hunts, for some
years popular among Lakewood guests, are
also being arranged.
The resort has this year been utilized
more than ever by owners of speedy horses
for winter quarters, and there are strings
of horses now being sent out for spring
races which leave here in the pink of con-
ditfon. MIR. p S. p. Randolph has recently
sent ten for the races beginning in Wash
