Progress in Mexico.

Mexico has population of 49,
57o,545 but only I,782,82a of this
number know how to read and
write. The standing army of the
republic consists of 10000 men.
Since President Diaz came to the
front and holds firm hand on the
country the epidemic of revolutions
by which the country had been
cursed has entirely ceased. The
ability of President Diaz had much
to do with keeping the dissatisfied
elements quiet but the railroad, per-
meating the country, was great
aid to this end. Fifteen or twenty
years ago President Diaz invited
Americans from the United States to
bring capital into Mexico and de-
velop the country, exploit its re-
sources and make money for them
selves and the Mexicans. Since
then Americans have carried $780,
100000 to Mexico and by its use
advanced the people from the Gus
toms and conditions of feudal times
to the civilization of the 10th GEN.
fury. There are $4,000 miles of
railway in the country and the tele-
graph system runs to every impor-
tant town. The mines of Mexico
are the most important source of
wealth but al kinds of cereal and
vegetable crops are raised in this
country of varied climatic condi-
tons. While 1000 families own
nearly all the land these land barons
are dividing up their holdings and
selling to those who wish to make
homes and crop the land.

The Freaks of DeIirium.

A person in delirium generally
revels in tumble of broken imagin-
ings. There is little continuity or
consistency in the thoughts express
ed. Frequently their Eighty raw
ings are of the fantastic, the unreal
and impossible but here is an in
stance as strange as it is consistent
and as real as the precisely histori-
cal. A woman, seventy years old,
suffering from broncho-pneumonia,
was found to be in delirium and
talking in language unknown to
the attendants. 1t was found that
she was speaking in Hindustani.
She spoke this language for two
days. Then as the delirium wore
off her language was mixture of
English and Hindustani and then
later only in English. When this
woman was in her right mind she
knew no Hindustani but she was
born in India and lived there until
she was three years old. After
coming to England she never heard
Hindustani spoken. In her delirium
she seemed to remember the lam
guage she heard when under the
age of three and even repeated a
long Hindustani poem that she had
never learned but had probably
heard repeated to her in her infancy.
She has not the slightest recollec-
ton of ever having been able to
speak a word of Hindustani. Can

Hydrophobia.

Rabies, the most awful of diseases
in intensity of suffering. is prevalent
in the eastern part of the state. This
disease seems to be increasing in the
United States while the number of
cases in European countries de-
creases. The reason for this is the
unwillingness of the owners of dogs
to keep them muzzled. In 1900
there were 23o deaths from rabies
i'll "a cities of this country. In
Sweden rabies was at one time a
common disease but since muzzling
the dogs was enforced no death from
hydrophobia has occurred. In Baden
from 1871 to 1875 there were l85
death from rabies. Then in 1876
muzzling was enforced and in 1877
there were 8 cases of the disease; in
1873, &; in the next four years, 2
each; and since 1885 there has been
but one case. In England in 1896,
672 rabid dogs were reported. In

Pensions were disbursed to IT,
sos soldiers, widows and orphans in
Wisconsin the year just past. The
amount paid them was 81 ,085 900.
On June 80, 1902, there were 1,00l,-
494 pensioners on the rolls of the
United States. June 80, this year,
the number was reduced to 996, 545.
Over 10000 names have been can
celled from the rolls the past year
by reason of death. Ohio has the
largest number of pensioners-102,-
318, drawing more than SIS, 000,00O
Some are predicting a decline in
prosperity and a financial crisis. A
sure way TO produce such a result
is to believe it will come. In this
way we produce disaster. If men
want a continuance of prosperity
they must believe in it, have faith,
confidence. When business men
begin to lose confidence in the flu
ture they cease to act, wait for
something TO turn up. Then bust
ness is at a standstill. Whereas if
they shall go ahead, reach out, de-
velop, exert themselves, they make
business and prosperity succeeds.

Control of Consumption,

Statistics show that consumption,
if not being stamped out, is being
brought under such control that the
number of deaths from the disease is
constantly decreasing. Since 1886
in New York city, the death rate
from consumption has decreased 40
per cent. In 1890. there were in
that city 23 deaths from consump-
ton in every 10000 living persons;
in 1000 the number had been re-
duced to II. The breathing of dust
has much to do in producing con-
sumption. The highest death rate
from this disease is found among
stonecutters, $40 per 10000. Next
come cigar-makers, AT; next plast-
erers, 453; next printers, 435; next
house-servants, 43o. The cause in
each case is obvious.
The French Government is TAX
ing great precautions in schools to
prevent the contraction and spread
of consumption. The pupils are
examined every three months, and
their physical condition in regard to
the disease recorded; no carpets are
allowed in school rooms, and no dry
sweeping permitted; the furniture is
regularly washed; books are regu-
larly disinfected, every pupil must
have his own pen and pencil and
they are advised to keep them out
of their mouths. 1t is claimed that
care will cause consumption to utter
ly disappear, or at least to become as
rare as smallpox.

Last year the number of passen-
gers killed on railways in the United
States was one to every 2,I53,46o
passengers; in Great Britain it was
one to every 100000; in Germany,
one to every o,778,ooo; in France
one to 4,Sa1,ooo; in Russia, one to
every 1,444,ooo. This showing will
give the first impression that railway
management in the United States is
exercised with less care than in the
thickly settled countries of Europe,
but when we consider that on an av-
erage passenger is carried many
times farther here than there the
situation does not look so unfavora-
BILE for us.

Killed the Skunk.

Some have water In their cellars
and some have champagne, but it
was the fate of the Star-Times edi-
tor to have skunk in his the other
morning. The artist of the culin-
airy department aroused the house
to the real situation and saw no
way to prepare breakfast until the
intruder was eliminated. AS in
every emergency, the women folks
thought the best and wisest pre-
liminary move was to send for
Peter. Peter came armed with a
Winchester and firm determine
ton. We all protested against
shooting the animal in the cellar,
but Peter insisted his Workmanship
was so superior to that of his vic
tim that it would be dead before it
ever found out that it had been hit.
With this guarantee, the head OF
the family paraphrased the notable
order of Admiral Dewey by saying:
eff you are ready, Mr.. Peter, you
may fire." He fired, but the skunk
did not wait for results before open
ing up the walls of his wrath.
Then for four or five successive vol
leys there was battle royal be-
tween the two arsenals, when the
skunk yielded up the ghost in obe-
dience to the heavier battalions.
The premises have since been sub
merged in disinfectants; and Peter
insists that he killed the brute at
the first shot, but that he was too
pesky gamey to admit it. Next
time when we shoot skunk in the
cellar we will take him far out into
the country to do it.-Hudson Star
Times.

Calhoun, the original estates rights

ginning of the civil war;" said Sena-

There is feature in the business
world that is working for retograde
times that had not generally been
taken into consideration, and that is
the effect of labor troubles-strikes.
Contractors and manufacturers are
shutting up shop" The demands
of the strikers are becoming so un-
reasonably threatening that men of
means prefer to hold their money
rather than to put it into ventures
for development and expansion. 1t
comes from good authority that
those connected with railroad con-
struction work have lately declared
that work that had been planned for
1904 to the amount of $ISo,ooo,oo
will not be done in consequence of
these labor troubles. In Chicago
$7o,ooo,ooo worth of new work has
been abandoned and New York
railways have put off the pursuit of
$8o,ooo,ooo of work on account of
the unreliable state of labor troubles.

Thomas Grubbs, an engineer on
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, has
become confirmed spiritualist from
the following incident. He was TAX
ing out special one night and was
driving the engine ahead at the rate
of fifty miles an hour. While turn
ing sharp curve. he saw figure
standing on the track and distinctly
recognized his mother, who had
been dead for twenty years. He
rubbed his eyes and looked again
and the features of the apparition
were more distinct than before. AS
he gazed at the figure it waved a
red light across the track three or
four times and then disappeared as
suddenly as it came. Grubbs called
the attention of his fireman to the
aoparition as he reversed his engine,
but the fireman had seen nothing
and was greatly surprised when he
saw Grubbs apply the emergency
brakes. A few seconds later the
train came to standstill and just
ahead of his engine bridge had
been swept away. Grubbs says
there can be no doubt but that it
was the spirit of his mother that
waved the danger signal and saved
| the train.

People who marry while very young
are apt to find out when It Is too late
that they have made the greatest mis-
take I'm their lives and that. though 1t
may seem very sweet TO marry the
first and only love-" this same first
love" is the very last person in the
world that they ought to have married.
Some, indeed, may advise couples TO
marry before they are out of their teens
and settle down before the distractions
OF the world can attempt to shake their
allegiance TO each other, but this set
tling down too often proves TO be
mere temporary phase and is followed
by an unsettled condition that lasts for
the rest Of their unhappy lives. Sec
ond thoughts are often best in love.

city broker, on one occasion desired To

but, being unacqualnted with the local
