Gondolas on the Thames

GonGolas on the Thames are some
times referred to as novelties; but they
were already there in the reign OF
Charles ii. Upon the Thames" says
Pepys, in 1861, Il saw the Kings new
pleasure boat, and also two gandaloes
that are lately bought. which are very
rich and fine" This is how gondolas We're
then written; and another testimony TO
their presence may be found in Dave
nant's expression: step into one Of
your peascod boats whose tits are not
so sumptuous as the roofs of the gun
daloes." The latest importer of q gon-
dola to the Thames has imported with
it from Venice a gondolier, who-as is
convenient in climate that does not
allow river work for great part of
the year--is something of Il cook. Five
years ago there was only one gondola
ON the Thames. but now the number is
increased.-LOndon Chronicle.

FACTS FROM LAST CENSUS.
Steady Decline in IIIiteracy During
the Iasf necnde

Steady Decline in 1Iliteracy During
the Last Decade.
The changes that have occurred dur.
Ing the last two decades in the Hitter.
acy Of the inhabitants of this country
are Of an interesting character as de
tailed in the last report on popula-
tiOn of the twelfth census. In 1880
OF the aggregate population of ten
years of age or over II per cent were
classed as illiterate; in the census of
1880 the percentage of illiterates was
13.3 per cent. which, in the census OF
1900. had sunk to 10.7 per cent. This
indicates steady decline in that class
Of our people who are entirely without
education. This decline Is most marked
in the colored race. Thus. In 1850 there
were 4,6O1 ,201 colored persons, male
and female. living in the United States
Of 10 years and over, and of this num-
ber 3,22O.S7S could neither read nor
write, thus giving a proportion of IL
literates of 80 per cent. But in 1890
the illiterates of negro descent had
fallen to 81 per cent, and by the CEN
sus of 1900 il was shown that a still
further decline had taken place ana
that only 44.5 per cent can now be thus
classified. The number of foreign IL
literates among our foreign white pop
ulatiOn appears to remain about con-
slant In those of this class over 10
years of age there We're - per cent of
illiterates in 1880. 13.1 per cent in in
1890 and 12.9 per cent in 1900. On the
other hand, among the native whites
this limitation upon intelligence seems
TO be slowly passing away. OF the
native white population of over 10
years Of age it was found in 1880 that
81 per cent were illiterate. This num-
Der was reduced in 1890 to g. per
cent, and still further reduced in 1900
to 4.6 per cent. The greatest gain in
this last respect seems to have been
made In the Southern States. Thus,
for example, in George in 1880 23.2
per cent of the native white population
nor write. but in 1900 this proportion
had been reduced to 11.9 per cent, and
the reduction holds true in nearly all
of the Gulf States. In Georgia in 1880
only 1874 per cent of the colored pop
ulation above 10 years of age could
read or write, but now this proportion
has increased to Az per cent. We
have given this simply as an illustra-
ton -th0-way in which a gradual
and highly satisfactory change is tax
ing place among our people. Eduea-
ton is not everything; in fact. a thor
oughly educated man may be an en-
tirely disreputable character, but in a
free country, where the government
depends on the will of the majority.
1t is essential that intelligence rather
than ignorance should control public
policy, and unless citizens can read and
write it is hardly possible to have this
necessary result secured.

Train Bows to Re ORDERLY.

1T Is a curious fact" commented a
man recently, that almost no mother
realizes the Importance Of bringing her
son up to orderly habits. She i'm
presses upon her daughters from the
time they are old enough to recognize
any responsibility the necessity to keep
their rooms tidy, put away articles aft
er use, and care for their belongings
at all times. The boy, however. is ex-
empt from any similar requirement,
not only in his own room, but through
out the house. He reads newspapers
and throws them on the floor, gets up
from a divan leaving the cushions
packed and shapeless, without the
slightest reproof, the only notice taken
of the occurrence, indeed. being to ask a
sister, if he has one, TO pick up the one
and straighten the other The women of
the family follow in his footsteps all
day long, removing whatever disorder
he creates Yet there is no business
occupation upon which that boy will
presently enter in which order is not
a fundamental necessity. Girls. on the
other hand, do not, as rule suffer so
seriously from n lack of order, or at
least consequences are not so continu-
ally disagreeable and costly as is the
case with boys"

Bright Boy.

A small boy cyciist was riding early
in the evening without light and was
stopped by a policeman, who asked
him in gruff tones where his light was.
why, it's herew exclaimed the rider
in surprise.
Yes. but it's out" solemnly assert
ed the patrolman.
We'll. it was lighted at the last
turn
Why, its cold: couldn't have been
lighted this evening" triumphantly an
nounced the officer.
Huh! That thin metal cools in a
minute. I'll light that lamp and wait
until it gets red-hot. put it out. then
ride to the next corner and back, and
when / return it'll be cOld''
"All right; try it." assented the acute
policeman.
The. boy lighted the lantern, waited
until if grew red-hot, turned it out and
started, and he is going yet.

Lockport, n. Y, Oct. 9th. Mr.

they had helped him.

THE day WAS when men of promi-
nence hesitated TO give their testi-
monials "a proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains true to-day
Of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna has become so justly famous. its
merits are known TO so many people of
high and low stations. that no one hes
itates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta

A dignified representative of the Pres

publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.

Electrical Treatment.

Even the birds are coming In for
share of the benefits of modern science.
An ostrich in the Cincinnati ZooloSi-
cal gardens was last summer a victim
of paralysis. The bird, which is a re-
markably fine one, had both legs az
fected. 1t occurred to the superin-
tendent TO try the effect of electricity.
4 special tackle was arranged, the os-
trich was placed in it, and the appli-
cation began
At first the bird showed no sign of
feeling the current, but after a time
the good effects became apparent. The
ostrich was able to swing first one leg
and then another. and in less than two
weeks was ON the road TO complete re-
coyery.

Her Brother.

A pathetic incident recently occurred
in connection with biograph scene iii
one Of our Western cities, says Popular
Science. The instrument was one of the
large ones used to throw a moving pic
ture on screen for public entertain,
ment
Some of the views showed incidents
of the occupation Of Pekin by the for
eign troops. One represented a detach-
ment of the Fourteenth United States
Infantry entering the gates. As the last
file Of soldiers seemed to be literally
stepping from the frame to the stage.
there came scream from 4 woman sit
ting in one Of the front rows
MY brother! my brother.." she cried.
There is my dead brother Allen.
marching with the soldiers.'
She had recognized the figure as that
Of man who had mysteriously disap-
peared several years before. and had
been regarded as dead, no word having
been received from him.
The woman wrote at once to the War
Department, and In time learned that
the man who had been so strangely dis
covered to her was indeed her brother.
In Chaucer's time woman's gown was
called her cote.
