The most notable feature Of the lat
est census bulletin relating to illiteracy
among our population is the statement
that there are fewer illiterates among
the children Of foreign-born parents
than among those of the natives. This
is variously accounted for, but the
chief reason for it appears to be based
on the fact that the greater portion Of
the foreign-born children live in cities,
where the educational opportunities
are better than In the country. In
the country the illiteracy among chill
dren is eighty nine per thousand; in
cities Of over 25,O0O inhabitants it is
only ten per thousand. This is a rath-
er remarkable showing

The greatest canal ever dug was
successfully put through the Isthmus
of Panama, or Darien, a hundred and
twenty years ago by the prince Of lit
erary liars, Baron Munchausen. In
volume Of his travels published in
England the noble baron says that he
drove his chariot rapidly from shore to
shore Of the isthmus, tearing up the
rocks and forming a tolerable bed for
the water. Then million people from
North and South America cleared
away the dirt. The sea came In with
tremendous magnificence, and enlarg-
ed the bounds of the canal so as to
make passage some miles broad
from ocean to ocean" And vet our
engineers are still lingering over their
plans.

my son thinks that Laura does not love

There are in the West 100000, 900
acres Of ordinarily barren land, much
Of which can be made productive by
means of irrigation. For a number Of
years the government has been en-
gagged in the work Of reclamation. The
results are marvellous, but it remained
for President Roosevelt, who knows
the West and loves it, to systematize
the plans and prosecute them on q
larger scale. At present eleven prof
ects are under way. AT cost Of $37,-
100000 they will transform 100000
acres Of desert into fruitful land worth
from S175 to 5000 per acre Twenty
years ago Salt River valley in Arizona
was a barren waste. Now 1t contains
three cities and has population of

A Plague of CaterpiIIarS.

OF the plague Of caterpillars that
overran the Scottish lOwlands in 1885,
a naturalist writes: The caterpillars
marched in armies straight ahead, and
the consequence was that when they
encountered "sheep drains" which
are open drains about eighteen inches
deep and eighteen inches wide at the
top-they tumbled into them in such
numbers that their dead bodies
damned up the water, and they might
have been taken out in barrow loads.

Yes, you can pay $500 for a toy
automobile, and there are walking,
talking dolls, full Of clockwork and
equipped with real hair and silk lin
gerie, that come at 500. The rich
can spend money like drunken sailors
to temporarily please their pampered
little ones. But here Is trade note
that counts: The demand for rock
ing horses and Noah's arks grows with
the years. 1t is bigger now than ever
before" 1t wasn't so long ago when
you sucked the paint off the blue ele-
plants and green tigers. Odd about
that paint. You grew fat on it. You
slept soundly and smiled while you
slumbered. And you guarded the
broken, faded, worn animals In the
little menagerie that came to you on
Christmas morning, and there was
Joy In your heart. And then came
ark and q woman laid the animals
away to be loved and fondled and re-
membered years later when her boy
had grown up and all but forgotten
the golden days Of his childhood. For
into life came the first rocking horse,
spotted and prancing, builded on the
same lines as they are builded to-day.
No steed of warrior ever possessed
more fire than did Dobbin as he reared
and tossed on the sitting room floor,
gripped by hands that were so pink
and soft that mother often kissed
them. All, there have been horses
since then, pedigreed and costly.
There have been automobiles, perhaps,
and palatial cars. But not one to
compare with the horse that made the
trip from the old settee to the rocking
chair, and that was a part of your
life. And then Dobbin went to the
attic and life stopped being all sun
shine and the sky was not all blue and
you entered on that period Of exist
ence when duty often takes the place
of pleasure, and the days mean more
and the smiles are often mixed with
tears. That is life as 1t Is lived It
is good to know that the demand for
Noah's arks and rocking horses is
growing We will try to start our
right, along the simple way,
please God. We try to do our duty
by them as long as we can keep them
children. And after that, hope. 1t is
the only way.

There was a singular coincidence as
sociated with his appointment as a

President Roosevelt appointed Capt.
Fitzhugh Lee, son of General Fitz-
hugh Lee, to a similar position, and
the two descendants of illustrious
Americans were almost side by side
