PARENTS DROWN. BABE SAFE
Child, in It's Go-Cart, Reaches the
Shore.

PORTSMOUTH, r., J., July 29.-By
the capsiaing of a small sailing skiff
today, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Anthony
and their daughter aged 4, were
drowned, while their baby, l year old,
was saved.
The baby was strapped in small GO
cart, and an oar had been placed prob
ably by accident, so it was wedged be-
tween the axles and the body of the
carriage. When the boat capsized the
baby floated securely in its go-cart, sus
tanned by the oar, and drifted over to
the Prudence Lighthouse ledge. The
lighthouse keeper and his wife rescued
the child, apparently uninjured by the
wetting.
A dory was put out from the light
house when the skiff was seen TO cap
size and the body Of the four-year- old
girl was brought ashore. 1t was while
an attempt was being made 10 resus
citate this child that the baby was no
ticed floating TO the rocks. The bodies
Of the parents were not recovered.

From the amount or nature of a

not estimate its commercial activity Or

the order given,
1T is evident that the development
of instruction cannot be seen from the
greatest correspondence. for countries
having compulsory education, such as
France. Denmark and Norway, hold a
mediocre place. while other countries
noted for the percentage OF illiteracy
are well in the front. II is singular to
note that the citizens of Austria and
Denmark write more letters than do
those OF France. Belgium ranks eley-
enth among the above. commercial
status or other development does not
figure, or both France and Belgium
would hold a. better position. il Is a
fact that those of Auglo-Saxon blood
correspond more frequently than those
of the Latin races. Temperament
might also figure" concluded the POST
