ENLISTMENTS

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1902. there were 124,542 applications for enlistment in the army. not including the hospital corps and Philippine scouts. Of these. 37. .461. or about 30 per cent, were accepted and S7.OS1, or about 70 per cent, were rejected. Of the num- Der accepted, g., ,249 were natives of the United States, 4,726 were of foreign birth, and 4S6 were born in Porto Rico: 34 ,677 were white, 2.2S4 colored. IA h. dians. and 4S6 Porto Ricans (color not specified). The re-enlistments num- bered 11,43 and the new enlistments 26,026. Excluding re-enlistments, the percentage of native born among the newly enlisted men was S9.5. Of the applicants rejected, 1922 were rejected as aliens and 3,82S as illiterates.
 MORTALITY AND HEALTH.
 The health Of the army has shown T continued improvement. The deaths from all causes during the calendar year 1901 amounted to 1894 per thou sand of mean strength as against 22. II per thousand of mean strength during the calendar year 1900. This large re- dUction of death rate was in a great
 
 the Philippines. where the rate was re- duced to 17.96 per thousand in the year 1901, as against 2942 per thousand in the year 1900. The death rate from all causes during the year 1901 in the United States was 6.90 per thousand; {; in Porto Rico, 7.S1: in Cuba, 529, and in the Pacific islands and China, 17.96. The rates of admission to sick report for disease and injury and the rate of discharge for disability during the cal endar year 1901 agree with the reduced mortality rate in being considerably less than the corresponding rates for the year 1900.
 further improvement of health in the Philippines may be anticipated from the cessa tion of guerilla warfare with the exposure incident to it. and from the concentration of the troops remaining in the islands in a smaller number of posts selected and con with special reference to sani- tary conditions. This work of con struction is being pressed forward as rapidly as possible with the appropria- tions made by congress at the last ses- sion.

and the only sign that the spot feels the

on Observation-Disclosures

Is Observation-Disclosures indicative OF men
tai failure? This question is suggested by
such facts the large number or unad-
dressed letters posted each year. An En-
glish contemporary cites in evidence the
official list of articles left in one year in
the London cabs and omnibuses. 1t in
cludes $50 canes 10 900 umbrellas, 261 rugs,
742 opera glasses, 926 articles of jewelry,
$50 watches, 3,2S9 purses. besides birds, dogs,
cats, etc.

dictment of the mental qualities Of the
modern city dweller, and il the hard
pressed newspaper reporter happens 10 see

degeneracy of the twentieth century man.
Even our medical contemporary suggests
the advisability Of those who ride in omni-
buses and who forget things OF consulting
a physician.
The more marvellous thing, however. is
that they do not forget far more often
than they do. Civilization has suddenly
increased a thousandfold the necessary
and Synchronous preoccupationS OF the
mind. Singleness of attention was the pre-
dominant characteristic of mental action
before our time OF bewildering interests
and duties. Not to have learned the trick
OF posing in the attention at one instant
such multitude OF objects is certainly not
demonstration OF mental failure, but
rather or nonacQuirement OF a difficult art.
But the more convincing proof of the ac-
tual trfviality Of the amount OF forgetfUl-
ness Is shown by the comparison of the
number of memory slips of the Londoner
with the number who ride in omnibuses

TURKISH BOOKSHOPS.
Inspection Indicates the Coming OF a
Revival i'm Literature.
DR.. Henry Otis Dwight. in the Forum.

Or. Henry Otis Dwight. in the Forum.
The ISOLATION of Turkey is not due to dis
lance from the centers of progress. Turks
appreciate values in things material. They
have accepted new ideas Ia irOnclads and
Mauser rifles, and they have some glimmer
of the superiority, from the point of view of
a transportation trust, of a locomotive over
a camel. Any new thing which, like a
photograph or mechanical skirt dancer
crafty idle fancy, or like an auto
mobile, can increase the luxury of a PAM
pered life, flies on wings from the Euro
pean inventor to the Turkish consumer.
The barrier which separates Turkey from
the western world is one Of ideas. The an
cient in thought is held TO have exhausted
wisdom. Whatever decision is ultimately
reached as to the glittering new things seen
in the material world, the thoughts of the
dead type of men are Incompatible, and
the aTistocracy Of wise men in Turkey
would have them control all succeeding
generations. The modern school OF writers
in Turkey represents a breaking through
the barriers of control founded solely on
age and isolation.
After looking through the literature in
these bookshops which is not written in a
genuine. living language, one does not fail
to believe that revival Of literature is GER
tainly impending in Turkey. Possibly even
bystanders may find means Of fostering its
development. Where. as IN that country,
writer's have not knowledge adequate to
their equipment and are still cropping for
subjects harmonizing with the needs Of the
