PORTO REGAIN EDUCATION.
A Quarter of Adult Males Can Read and
 Write,

Major J. P. Sanger of the Inspector generals department, United States army has been making a census of Porto Rico, with the express object of finding what proportion of the male population of voting age know enough to entitle them to a voice in directing the affairs of the island. He finds that if there were enforced the simple edu- eational qualification of mere ability to read and write only 25 per cent of he native-born males of voting age and 24 per cent or all males of voting age would be entitled to vote. Few countries if any are as distinctively native in the nationality of their in- habitants as Porto Rico. Among the males of voting age only 3.s per cent are Nf foreign birth, and of these 2.S per cent are Spanish. Exceedingly few of the inhabitants who make up the 3.S per cent have forsaken their are POI ,071 males of voting age. 59 per cent of whom are whites born in Porto Rico, 36 per cent colored men and the remainder whites born in Spain or in other countries. Of the 120,295 whites of Porto Efcan birth 5,397 are literate, or 29 per cent of their class. and of the 73,010 colored 12 ,5e6 can read, or IT per cent. In the cities of San Juan and Ponce is concentrated a considerable part of the foreign population of the island. and Lere, if anywhere, will the restriction of the suffrage to iiterates give the foreign born an advantage In the city of San Juan the native whites and colored each outnumber the for
 eign element, while together they out number them nearly 2.5 to l. In Ponce this proportion is even greater, the native whites being more than three times as numerous as the foreign ele- ment, while the colored are double it's

press the World.
 The young Khelive of Egype, who recently visited Queen Victoria, charm ed every one who met him by his tact and courtesy says the Whitehall Re- view. His father, who also once visit d the court of St. James, was mark ed contrast to his son, being intention ally rude and brusque in order to as- sert his own importance He made it point to be late in coming to every en- tertainment given in his honor, and showed scant courtesy to hosts and guests on his arrival. He was bidden to state banquet at Windsor Castle, given by the queen ir his honor. The hour appointed was nine o'clock. as usual. The queen waited until the quarter past had struck, and then led the way to the dining room Present ly the khedive arrive and entered with an aggrieved and astonished fact The queen quietly motioned him to the vacant seat on her right, saying: "In England we never delay dinner for any one. Your highness was highly complimented when I kept my guests waiting fifteen minutes for you" Then turning to her guests she said: T have to apologize to you all for it." Tho khedive never forgot the lesson 1t is not only kings who make the mis- take of being rude in order to assert their importance; it is a frequent error among uneducated people. and among selfish people who are educated Tho ignorant dinner-guest arrives late and makes no apology. The self-important salesgirl is indifferent and sometimes insulting in her manner toward her customers The self-assertive con- ductor rudely shoves his passengers. There are men and women in every class who jostle each other and are curt and arrogant, although perhaps at heart they may be kindly disposed. They are making the mistake of the khedive. By the force of their rude ness they try to impress the world with sense of their power and au- thority. They forget, if they ever knew, that real power and real author ity do not need a label to distinguish them.-Yo,Itba a' Com n2:,ian
