Santiago de Chilli, May 13.-Rioting

THE PoPE's GODCHILDREN.
Many Added to lifelong Fist ON HIS
Ninety-Thfrd Anniversary
March B Last.

Leo XIII. is, as everyone knows,
the godfather, Of young King Al
fonso of Spain. But the latter rs
by no means the only godchild of
the holy father, who announced his
intention of acting as sponsor to
every child born in Rome on March
last, which was the twenty-fifth
anniversary of his succession to the
papacy, says London paper. The av-
erage number of births per day in
Rome does not exceed 35. But for some
extraordinary reason there were no
less than 90 births recorded on March
3, SO being curiously enough the num-
ber of years which have elapsed since
Leo Kills own birth. A most search
ing inquiry was instituted in order to
ascertain whether there had really
been as many as SO births in Rome on
the day in question But the investiga-
tion established the fact beyond a
doubt that the figures were correct and
authentic, and consequently the pope
has 90 new godchildren, among them
set of triplets, two boys and girl,
who have received .the names of
Romulus, Remus and Roma. and each
of these SO children have received from

FOREsTs AND FREsHETs.
Floods Were as Great Before Trees
Were Cut Down as They Have
Been Since.

After all, the decreasing of the
country is not responsible for the
floods. There were more forests half
century ago along the watersheds
of some of the tributaries of the up
per Mississippi than there are novb
notwithstanding the tree planting
which the late ]. Sterling Morton
started on the Nebraska, Kansas and
Iowa plains, says the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. A very high reach of
water was scored in the Mississippi
at ST. Louis in 1911 and 1926. Probably,
although this is not certain, the river
was higher at this point in those
years than it will be in 1908. In 1885
the rivers of the west were on such
a boom that that date is called the,
~year of the great waters" There is
not much satisfaction for the resi-
dents along the Missouri and the up
per Mississippi TO know that these
rivers more than once in the past
reached higher stage than they are
likely to closely approach this year.
But this fact tells MS that the persons
who have been removing the forests
are not solely responsible for the
freshets. These occurred before the
axman made his appearance, although
the extension of the area of settle
ment makes the floods of the present
day vastly more destructive than were
those of 40 or so years ago. The ne
cessity for the invention Of some
means whereby the surplus waters of
the spring and early summer months
can be stored so as to prevent de-
struction then and to be used later on
in the season is more urgent than 1t
ever was in the pasr.

NEW ENGLAND InAlFT.
Temperament of the Massa-
c..asests People.

The proportion of men and women
who retire oa mail completeness is
doubtless II in Massachusetts
Ahan in aaJ ~ state in the union,
unless it be Pennsylvania, which is
the other .!a.e of DR.. Benjamin
Franklin's residence. But a man who
has even the most robust respect for
the thrift Of the people of Massa-
chusetts must be surprised to learn
from the report of the states bureau
of labor statistics that tfere are more
than $4,000 such persons-2s 900 men
and 1900 women. Two-thirds of
them are native-born, too. The max
ing of such an investigation was char
acteristic of Massachusetts, says
Worlds Work.
But it tells volumes about the care
full management that is part of the
New England temperament. The New
Englander studicusly saves and he in
vests prudentIy and when old age
comes, or he has wish to rest, he is
willing to stop work and to adjust
his life TO his incomes; and he gen
orally leaves legacy also to his
children. Anyone. who mas lived in
different parts of the United States
has had many occasions to observe
what this official report confirms
that the native New EngIander has
learned the art of living considerably
below his income better than any
other man among us.
