Many Americans are doubtless unuer
the impression that this land of free
public schools and other great educa-
tional advantages exceeds all others In
the use it makes of the postofiice, says
Leslie's Weekly. But, according 10
statistics recently submitted by the
Universal Postal Union, Great Britain
ranks ahead of us in head. The report
furnishes other surprises. France and
Norway, for instance, each with a good
school system and highly intelligent
people. stand lower on the list than
Austria and Argentina. New Zealand
comes next to us with 66.3 per head.
and after that Switzerland with 59.7o.
The land of the Alps stands first in the
number of postofiices in proportion to
the population, the ratio here being
one office to every 500 people. Germany
has one for every 1,460. Great Britain
one FOR every 1859. Denmark one for
every 2,5s6. Italy one for every 3,791.
Holland for every 1881. Belgium for
every 1881. and France for every 4,751.
Great Britain derives the greatest
profits from her postal system, netting
annually about s23,43S, ,627, the second
country being Russia with $20,595, sos
profits. Russia is not considered a let
ter-wriiing country, and its printed
matter is restrained, and yet upon its
peculiar system it derives good profits.

ing forward at wonderful pace. So

Mesico's President.

President DiaZ is now seventy-slx
years of age, but he is equal to the
administrative tasks of man OF fifty
six, says Modern Mexico. For more
than fifty years he has been the cen
trail figure in the national affairs OF
Mexico, and of that time thirty years
as an active soldier. Since he came
into power the country has known abb
solute peace. where before it was in
constant revolution. Railroads now
run in every direction, developing
great industries and opening up the
wonderful mining district of Mexico.
Miles upon miles of telegraph lines
are given in figures that astonish for
eigners.
To President Diaz was given tho
honor of completing the great work OF
the drainage of the valley of Mexico.
which has made the city so notably
healthy in comparison to former years
This important engineering problem
was commenced 300 years ago, but ow-
ing to insurmountable difficulties the
project never materialized until the
present era of peace and enlighten-
ment. To President Diaz is also due
the Inauguration of numerous great
port works, besides many other enter
prises during recent years.

ALCOHOL NOT INSPIRING.
bueh Is the Ierdict of Leading German
Literary Men.

Does alcohol inspire poets and 9th
ors? According to the great ones OF
living literature in Germany. it does
not. According to biographers. in the
case of many men, notably Edgar AL
len Poe and Addison, the English es-
sayist, it does.
This interesting question has been
brought to the front by DIR. van Vleu-
ten, editor of Das Literarische Echo.
This is new periodical. The editor
sought some means of advertising 1t,
of attracting marked attention from
the literary world, to whom it appeals.
And SO he sprung his questions on al
cohol. The hundred and fifty leading
authors and poets of Germany were
appealed to. OF these lis an
swered Rhapsodies in prose and
poetry were among the answers. which
have attracted great attention, not
alone from those interested in liter
ature. but from the medical world and
scientists as well.
The result of the thorough poll OF
experts, is that Inspiration by alcohol
is not worth the having, If indeed there
is such an inspiration. And yet the
Fatherlands poets sing more elo-
quently of beer and wine and the cup
that cheers and inebriates, than -
poets of, perhaps. any other count
OF the writer's appealed to, four are
total sbstainers, twenty-three moder-
ate drinkers, 10S avoid alcohol before
and during work, and only twelve are
advocates of alcohol. But majority
OF these twelve are eloquent only In
the praise of wine taken at table.

Tea on the Down Grade.

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
couragement in report recently
made by large tea exporting house
in Yokohama to its American Gus
toners, Incidentally it indicates that
the United States is not alone in fac
ing increased cost of living. The re-
port says: Owing to the rapid in.
creasing cost OF living In Japan labor
costs more. and in consequence cul.
uvation of the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly.
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf. Hence
the average quality of the teas now
offered for sale is below that of sea-
sons prior to the war, and for the
same reasons we are not likely in the
future to see any reversion to tho
excellence of former years."-New

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength thap other makes.
