finance Minister Explains Necessify
Of Another Loan.
THIS TO BE MADE IN FRANCE

french Bankers Are Now Considering
The Making Of Temporary Advances
to suppOst the Stability Of the Czar'a
FINANCES : Kokovsofs's Statement Re-
earding the situation.
Paris France. Nd. KokovsoH. former
Russian Minister Of Finance who
came here to negotiate another Rus
sian loan, practically confirms the
statement that. the loan having been
postponed, French bankers are now
considering the making OF temporary
advances to support the stability Of
Russian finances. In the course of an
interview M. Kokovsoff gave state
ment relative to Russia's real financial
position. He said:
.'The budget for 1906 which is about
to be presented to the Council of the
Empire. comprises an extraordinary
budget of S246, 500, 900, of which only
So. 100000 is covered by the excess of
revenue from the ordinary budget.
Thus $241, SOC, 600 remains to be pro-
vided.
Three of the heaviest items includ-
ed therein are provision for the repa-
triation Of the troops in the Far East,
their maintenance until their return to
Russia and the reimbursement of ia
pans outlay for the Russian prisoners
of war. Other smaller extraordinary
expenses include the maintenance OF
the families of reservists succor for
the victims of distress railroad con-
struction, the mobilization Of troops
owing to the strikes and subventions
for the naphtha industry
NJ. Kokovson said Russia could
without difficulty issue an internal
loan to meet these expenses, but it
was considered. preferable not to float
it Until the second half of the year in
order not to affect the proper adminIs-
tration Of the national resources.
Therefore, he said, it was thought de-
sirable to arrange for foreign operation
similar to that indicated, which would
be of quite a normal character In
conclusion M. Kokovsoff said.
'The difficulties through which we
have just passed. though grave, were
never sufficiently serious to affect Rus
sian credit

According to the census, use of the
term an illiterate is a person not under
ten years OF age who is unable to write
either in English or in any other lam
guage In most cases the illiterate is
also unable to read. At the census Of
1900 the number of illiterates enumer-
ated in the United States, exclusive Of
Alaska, Hawaii and all other outlying
territory, was 6, 10000. This was APP
proximately one-tenth of the popula-
ton at least ten years Of age, the exact
mathematical proportion being 1866 II
literates to 1900 population OF the ma
tive white population the proportion Of
illiteraey is aga per 1000, or less than
one in twenty There is ground for
satisfaction and encouragement in the
statistical evidence that illiteracy is
steadily being reduced In 1890 the
number Of illiterates per 1000 was
1884 for the total population, 02.8 for
the native white population, 1905 for
the foreign-born white and 56T6 for
negroes, including Indians and Mongo-
lians. IN most European countries IL
literacy is much more prevalent than
in the United States, although this
country is still far behind Germany,

Imperfect Conaular service.

An order which has been made by
SigBor Tittoni, the Italian Foreign Min
lister. and which comes in operation on
the first day of the New Year, should
possess particular interest for all those
who are concerned as to the efficiency
of our consular service. The Italian
Foreign Office bike our own, has in its
employ many consular officers who are
quite unfamiliar with the language of
the country which they represent.
They are not, Of course, commissioned
officers, they receive no salary or all
lowance, and they are nominated only
in places where Italian interests are
too nominal to justify the appointment
of commissioned and salaried officer
But it is an absurdity, ON the face of
it, that any official should be per
mitted to represent country, in how
ever humble a capacity. the language
of which he can neither speak nor
write, even their reports having to be
translated for them. 1t is to be sim
cerely hoped. therefore. that the new
Foreign Minister will appreciate in re-
gard to our consular establishment, the
necessity Of following Signor Tittoni's
example, IS it is estimated that there
are quite 200 officers in various parts
of the world who could not pass the
simplest exami- 1tion in English.
There is another development in the
same connection which is also worthy
Of notice. The American consular ser
vice has admittedly always been very
loosely conducted, and it is the more
noteworthy, therefore, that the State
Department at Washington has just
determined to enforce the rule that no
officer shall be appointed unless he can
pass an examination In the language
of the country to which he may be
sent. London Pail Mall Gazette.

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA

uI0us Cure by Cuticura.

When my little boy was sir months
old he Lad eczema. The sores extended
SO quickly over the whole body thet we a
once called in the doctor We then went
to another doctor, but he could not help
him, and in our despair we went to a
third one Matters became so bad that
he had regniar holes in his cheeks, large
enough to put a finger into. The food
had to be given with spoon, for biz
mouth was covered with crnsts as thick
as a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and suppurate,
as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, ches.
and back, in short, the whole body, was
covered over and over We had no rest
by day or night Whenever he was laid
in his bed we had to pin his hands down,
otherwise he would scratch his face, and
make an open sore. | think his face must
have itched most fearfuly.
We finally thought nothing cou1d help,
and had made up my mind to send my
wife with The child to Europe, hoping that
the sea air might cure him, otherwise be
was to be put under rood medical care
there. But, Lord be blessed, matters came
differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend Of ours spoke about Cuticura We
made trial with Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment and Resolvent, and within ten days

efforts to attract his attention, and
when they failed, shouted:
