our rrade VIA Mexico.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Trade between Mexico and the United
States is steadily Increasing. Our exports
20 and imports from Mexico during the
fiscal year ended June So last amounted
in value 10 nearly SS30oo0oo: in 1880 our
total trade with the country amounted
to barely Si5ooOOO0 and I'm 1870 10 about
$500 Oo0. The period from 1880 to 1903
practically colncldes with the reign OF
Gen. Porhrio D1az. and the progressive
ness of his rule is fairly measured by the
growth Of his country's commerce. Our
exports TO and imports from Mexico arc
nearly equal dn value but inasmuch as
the valuation Of exports does not include
the cost Of transportation, the earnings
OF commercial agents and other expenses
Incidental to business. all OF which arc
added to the price OF consumers ana in
asmuch as all those additional earnings
(which are CONSIDERABLY so dnto American
pockets it VIII be seen that the balance
OF trade" with Mexico inclines very much
In our favor.

UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA.
Quaint Customs of the Ancient School,
Past Prestige and Royal
Patronage,

The most typical and interesting,
as well as the Oldest, of the Spanish
universities, according to the London
Lancet, is that of Salamanca, which
was founded in Valencia in 1909 and
transferred to Salamanca in 1910. The
university played an important part
In the history of Spain, for from it
came almost all the distinguished
Spaniards of the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries, though proba bly,
Don Quixote's Bachelor of Salaman-
ea' is the member of this university
best known in England. 1t was to
Salamanca that Gil Bias was going
when he began his travels. The uni
Verslty was most distinguished cor
poration and its representatives, with
the other grandees, swore fealty to
the king of Spain at their accession;
It received solemn visits from royal
personages, as did our English uni
Versities under the Tudors and Stu
arts, and like Oxford and Cambridge
ilso, it advanced money to the kings
which was not always paid. In 171O
the University of Salamanca gave to
King Philip ", $4,000 reals and 100
men whom the king equipped for war

II feudal times.
In its most fiourishing time Sala-
nanca numbered 10000 students, but
now there are not 500. Salamanca it.
self is quaint and interesting-a typ
cal old-world Spanish city, with a
arge square containing shops under
colonnade decorated with placques
,f the heads of the kings of Spain and
other distinguished persons, the latest
Of whom has been dead 200 years. The
streets are narrow, the houses are tall
and have curiously wrought iron graf
mgs to the windows which are far above
the heads of the foot passengers, and
there are many converts and churches,
and very beautiful pavements. In the
main square, where is now a garden,
there used to be bull fights formerly.
The houses are moldering away and
the servants at the chief hotel are To-
'orant of any tongue but their own.
The university was founded literally
lnder the shadow of the church, and.
was never free from ecclesiastical in
iuence, and such influence is evident
In all the educational institutions of
spain to this day. Students were not
liable to any civil authority, but were
tried by the vice ehancellor-a prac-
ice which led to so many scandalsthat
eventually the king appointed three
eonsefvators on behalf of the city to
De assessors with the vice chancellor
when he tried the students for serious
offenses against citizens,
