Statistics of Education.

In education the three Slav coun-
tries-Roumania, Servia and Russia
are the least civilized. In these coun-
tries the number of those who cannot
read or write is in the percentage of
so for every 100 of population. Among
the Latin races Spain has the least
enviable record, namely, IS for every
100; next comes Italy. with 4S to 100
and France and Belgium, with IA to
100. In Hungary the proportion is 43
to 100, in Austria 80, in Ireland 81, in
Holland 10 and in England s. The
white population of the United States
counts to 100, and Scotland Z. The
countries purely German show a re-
markable reduction in the number of
the illiterate, the German empire hav-
ing but one illiterate to every 100 of
the population. In Bavaria, and, above
all, in Baden and Wurtemberg, there
are scarcely any. In Scandinavia
homo ignorans is species which has
entirely disappeared. - Educational

It's own Reward.

bedroom door. I'm awfully tired of
hearing them creak.''
Laura" replied Mr.. Ferguson, 81
would do almost anything to oblige
you, but I'll be everlastingly rib

trouble to oil any door hinges at

Mark now the result of his pro-
crastination.
In the dead of night-that same
night-a burglar, who had gained en-
trance to the house through a base
ment window, crept softly up the
stairway, approached that bedroom
door and pushed it open.
1t gave loud creak like the wall
ing of a lost soul.
The historian hopes that it is not
really necessary to add that the
burglar went down that stairway
in two jumps, was out of the house
before George Ferguson had sue
ceeded in finding his revolver, and
that the hinges of that bedroom
door are still unoiled.-Chicago Tri-

Hair Changed Color.

It is said that young girl has just
died in the asylum at Hamburg who
possessed the peculiar gift of changing
the color of her hair according to the
state of her mind. In periods Of
sedateness" the hair was its natural
color; when excited it became reddish,
and her anger was indicated by blond
color. Three days were generally re-
quired for the change to be &C apleted,
and her complexion also varied in the
same periods and in the same direction.

Odd Bird Surgery.

Some interesting observations con-
corning the surgical treatment of
wounds by birds were recently made
by a Swiss naturalist. The most in
teresting example was that of snipe,
both of whose legs he had unfortun-
ately broken by misdirected shot.
He recovered it the following day,
when he found that the poor bird had
contrived to apply dressings of down
from other parts of it's body, fastened
by CONCEALED blood and sort of splint
of interviewer feathers to both limbs.

M'KINLEY MEMORIAL
BEAUTIFUL SITE SELECTED FOR THE
NATIONAL MONUMENT.

OverIooks the Former Home of the
work to BE supplemented - The
Temporary Tomb.
Mckinley mound, as the site chosen
by the trustees of the Mckinley Ma
tional Memorial association for the
monument TO be erected to the, mar
tyred president has come to be known,
is beautifully situated for its intended
purpose.
1t is choice bit of natures hands
work, but when the landscape artist
has finished His work it will be one OF
the most charming spots in the land.
The tract selected for the monument
contains little more than eleven
acres. 1t is in Westlawn cemetery,
Canton, O.,/and overlooks the dead
statesman's former home.
Though owned by the cemetery as
sociation. it has never been used for
burial purposes. and it is the plan OF
the Mckinley National Memorial assoc
citation to utilize the entire tract for the
Mckinley memorial and for grounds
surrounding and approaches to it.
The mound is the highest within
radius of Il mile. On all sides of it are
valleys. To the north the ground slopes
into woodland and cultivated farm
land. TO the east there is an abrupt
decline. bounded by Il small stream and
Il valley half mile wide. To the south
its immediate boundary is a narrow ra-
vine in which flows Il small stream of
clear water. Across the ravine is West
lawn cemetery. TO the west the bound
airy is formed by Il ravine and in part
by stream of water.
Save for clumps of trees here and
there over the tract the site in general
has the appearance of well kept pas
ture land were it not for the drive
ways laid out through il. Besides its
natural beauty one of the reasons that
led TO its selection is that it is an emf
nence which commands view for
many niles.
Looking to the east. the top of the
Mckinley home can he seen two or
three miles distant The view to the
southwest Ks cut off by the wooded
cemetery. spot sacred to the McIIin-
leys. In this cemetery are the graves
of the two daughters guarded by the

This is the month when Uncle Sans

evils of the sailor, ever menace. but
particularly so from November to

The life of the lightkeeper is at best
lonely one, but when the beacon is

During the late fall and winter the
gales become almost incessant. and fire.
quently there may be month or more
when the sea is SO rough that supply
ships dare not approach the wave bat
tered rocks on which many of the
lighthouses perch. Then the keepers
are as besicSed men. They must save
every drop of oil that their lights may
be kept burning even should new
supply fail to arrive when due. They
must watch their machinery every
minute, for no help could reach them
to repair it should it break down.
The famous Minots Ledge light, off

eiGhty-five feet high from the level of
the sea. The reef on which it is set is
far below the surface in any except

When the ocean rOars around it in Il
winter storm. the mariner. looking at
il from the sea, often can discern only
its lantern above the spray. The en-
trance to this lighthouse is half way
up the tower. and an iron ladder reach

there are days after days and some
times weeks when no man could ven

rock or shoal, they are battered and
tossed by furious storms.
While every year secs more or less
damage to lighthouses and beacons.
there is only one spot along the coast
that has defied the lighthouse builders
successfully, and that is Diamond

dangerous place i'll the service.
Several attempts have been made to
build lighthouse on the shoals. but so
far unsuccessfully. So this year. as in
previous years, Il lightShip will mark
this danger spot, dreaded by every
mariner who sails the southern coast.
AS showing the dangers of this sta

this year are conclusive: Light vessels
No. II and Twill be used on this station
alternately" Each of these ships is
fitted so that she can move under her
own steam so she will not be an abso-
lutely helpless hulk when she breaks
away from her mooring in q bowling
gale, as she will more than once in this
coming winter.
Lightship No co also built to so .un-
der her own steam, was driven from
her anchorage six times in four
months, but managed to steam back to
her position each time. The seventh
time she failed She fought against the
hurricane for three days and then went
up OH the North Carolina beach near
the Creeds Hill life station. The life
savers got her crew off.
The value of the Diamond Shoals
lightships is shown by the fact that
during this vessels last year on her
station 1910 steam vessels and 2,oIG
sailing vessels passed her.
The United States lightship that has
had what is probably the most extraor-

Such are the perils which the guard

they keep their lights burning except
when overwhelmed by disaster. With
out them navigation of Uncle Sans
coasts would be well nigh impossible.
