Mexico is agitated over the subject
OF immigration. The newspapers deal
with the matter quite generally, and
many public men have discussed Il.
Il is argued that immigrants from
cities are not desirable. as what Mex.
leo needs Is men TO cultivate the land
Il Is said the cities in Mexico. like
those In other countries. have a super.
abundance OF the element which
would be contributed by immigrants
from foreign cities.
A year ago a big Japanese company
brought 1000 men from Japanese cit
les to Boleo for mining purposes. As
the Japanese had no experience In
mining they were OF no use. and had
to be shipped home at the expense
OF the steamship company, which ex
pertinent, the Mexican Investor says
cost the company about 100000. An
other japanese immigration company
shipped a large number OF Japanese
laborers from towns to the isthmus
OF Tehuantepec to work for the plant
ers there. but they proved a failure
and had TO be shipped home. Fol
that reason Mexicans say they do not
want men from cities.

Mike and Pat worked for a wealthy
farmer. They planned to turn bur
glars and steal the money which the
farmer had hid in one OF the rooms OF
his house. They waited until mid.
night, then started TO do the job.
In order 20 get the money they had
to pass the farmers bedroom. Mike
says: "I'll go first. and If it's all
right you can follow and do just the
same as l."
Mike started to pass the room
Jus as he got opposite the door the
floor creaked. This awoke the farmer
who called out: who's there?"
Mike answered with "meaow'
Qmitating a cat). The farmers wife
being awake, too. said. "Oh. John
it's the cat" and all was quiet.
Now Pat started to pass the door
and as he got opposite 1t the floor
creaked again. The farmer called out
again, louder than before: Who's
there?"
Pat answered: Another cat"

Seventy Centuries OF the Life of
Mankind"


BY DrJ. n. Larned is a much needed
work for constant use by busy Ameri'
cans 10 this age Of serious problems OF
government aud society. II Is world
history, yet more than ahistory, for
the aim OF the author is TO "string the
facts of the worlds life on the chain
of cause and effect" for as he truly
says ia his preiace:-"We can traverse
most OF general history along courses
and currents that are as visible as In
the history OF a single state or In the
lie Of a single man.
To do so Is to obtain the real teach
ings OF history, to find It's meanings,
10 draw It's lessons, TO enjoy II with
the deepest interest II can awaken IN
our minds" As mo man liveth to
himself but is exerting an influence
ON all about him, so truly no nation
iyeth 20 itself, but Is constantly affect
ing other states and being in turn AZ
fected 10y them. II Is in these inter-
relationships of life that we find the
explanations for the events OF history,
both ancient and modern.
And In order that the reader may
not miss the broad view DR. Larned has
condensed the vast material al his
command into the space of about a
thousand pages arranged in two han
dy volumes. This process OF conden-
sation is neither one OF desiccation,
nor OF crushing and packing, but
work OF discriminating selection and
luxurious arrangement, applied to its
most significant incidents and large
facts"
The style Of the author is easy, clear
and forcefu, and the work Is made
more delightful and disable by the use
Of finely executed copies OF authoriia-
live paintings and sculpture-by the
marginal notes guiding the eye TO the
text and last, but not least. to an In
iex which in itself is masterpiece OF
librarian craft This index is arrang-
ed both analytically and subjectively,
thus aiding the reader to find most
quickly statement OF fact. or to fol-
low the trends Of life in such lines Of
progress as democracy" "Educa
lion, " christianity" and the like
For this work no choice could be wiser
than that OF the famous compiler Of the
famous "History for Ready Refer
ence" which bears his name.
