1t was a New Years day. There
had been a big storm and although the
wind had spent its force the snow fell
steadily.
Regular winter weather and no mis-
take about it," observed Mr.. Richard
Hunt, as he came in rather noisily,
stamping the snow from his boots, "but

Mrs. Hunt, who was sitting near an
open fire, laughed.

don't believe I'd be willing to face the
cold, even for the sake of the bracing."

AND CRIME.
Facts Which Go to Prove That In.
crease of Intelligence Means De-
crense of LawIessness.

Is the advance of the schoolmaster
synonymous with the retreat Of the
criminal, is a question discussed by a
German magazine, and the conclusion
is not as clear as could be wished. 1t
presents facts that Zeal most interest
ingly on the worlds progress in educa-
ton since 1910, a date that fairly marks
the universal awakening to the i'm
portance of the schoolmaster.
All over Europe the percentage OF
illiterates was greatly reduced in the
last half of the nineteenth century. In
1870 so per cent. of the British people
could write, while 81 per cent. of them
can now do SO. Taking the entire con-
tinent of Europe, there has been an in
crease of las per cent. in the number Of
persons who can write in the period
named, though the population has in
creased only 80 per cent. Germany and
the United States are the two countries
that show least educational progress in
the period under review, for the simple
reason that 80 per cent. of their people
had elementary knowledge in 1870, so
that the large progress since made by
other nations was for them impossible.
The United States, indeed, has a larger
percentage of illiteracy now than it
had 60 years ago, when its negro pop
ulation was left out of the survey and
immigration came mostly from western
instead of eastern Europe.
France now leads the march Of edu-
cation in Europe. While her population
has been almost at a standstill for AZ
years past, her annual expenditure OF
popular education is five times as great
as it was in 1860.
But it is not as clear as could be
wished that the advance of the school.
master is synonymous with the retrea'
of the criminal. Mulhall, the stats
tician, wrote an interesting essay OF
British education and crime to show
that the latter had steadily diminished
as the former had increased. But Di.
Woche says that in Germany, which i.
not behind England in education, youth
full criminals have increased in recenr
years four times as fast as the popula
ton.
Prof. Lombroso maintained in his
famous book on "Criminality" thai
i crimes of violence and brutality hav,
been fewer since education became gen
eral, while the crimes of craft and Gun
ming, such as embezzlement, forger,
and frauds of all kinds, have multiplied
This is what common sense would1eat
us to expect. Nor is education in tn,

The Tail of Serpent once rebeled against the Head, and said that
it was a great shame that one end of any animal should always have its
way, and drag the other after it, whether it was willing or no. 1t was
in vain that the Head urged that the Tail had neither brains o eyes, and
that it was in no way made to lead. Weared by the Tails importantly,
the Head one day let him have his will. The Serpent now went back
wards for a long time, quite gaylky, until he came to the edge of a high
cliff, over which both Head and Tail went flying, and came with a heavy
thump on the shore beneath. The Head was never again troubled by the
Tail with a word about leading.

PRESIDENT IS PLEASED.
Treaty shows Good VIII OF
Country Toward Ipland.

Washington, March 81. - Only five
members of the cabinet attended the
meeting Friday, and they were in ses-
sion less than half an hour. Secre-
tary Hay was present for the first time
since his return from the south.
Both the president and the members
of the cabinet expressed great satisfac-
ton with the results accomplished by
congress at the regular session, and
by the senate at the extraordinary ses-
sion which has adjourned. The presi-
dent believes that more scarcely could
have been expected. Both he and the
members of the cabinet are satisfied
that the Cuban reciprocity treaty will
be ratified by the Cuban congress, as
it was ratified by the senate. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is particularly gratified,
because the senate has demonstrated
what he regards as the good faith of
the United States in extending, so far
as 1t may, the relief Of this country to
Cuba.
Washington, March 21.-Acting Sec
rotary of State LOOMS and Mr.. Que
cussing the prospects of an exchange
of notifications of the Cuban treaty
within the time limit, decided to cable
President Palma requesting him to
call the Cuban congress into extraor-
binary session Immediately for this
purpose, as that body otherwise would
not meet until April Z, seven days after
the expiration of the legal time limit
for the exchange of notifications.
Havana, March 21.-The disap-
pointment caused here by the news
Of the adoption of the United States
senate committees amendments to
the Cuban reciprocity treaty, and by
the prospect of further delay, have
been superseded by expectation that
the eventual outcome will be IN un-
assailable treaty helpful on the
whole to the interests of both coun-
tries.
