Worlds Letter Writers.

Many Americans are doubtless under
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 postoffice. says
Leslie's Weekly. But, according TO
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 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 500.
The land of the Alps stands first in the
number of postoffices in proportion to
the population, the ratio here being
one office to every S96 people. Germany
has one for every 1, AGO. 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 $23,43S,627, the second
country being Russia with s20,595, sos
profits. Russia is not considered let
ter-wri;ing country, and its printed
matter is restrained, and yet upon its
peculiar system it derives good profits.

Mexico's President.

President Diaz is now seventy-six
years of age, but he is equal to the
administrative tasks of a 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 alb
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.

In connection with the death of
Archduke Otto, second nephew of the
emperor Francis Joseph, it is inter-
esting to take note Of the curious
chain of succession to the throne of
Austria When Archduke Franz Fer
dinand. who was heir to the throne
after the death of Prince Rudolph,
contracted morganatic marriage
with the Countess Choteh. and SO lost
the right Of transmitting the success.
sion, Archduke Otto became heir-pre-
.sumptive. 1t was soon evident, hOw-
ever, that II ever he came into the
order of succession he would be
forced to renounce it in favor Of his
son, Archduke Karl, now 19. Thus 1t
comes about, says the London Globe.
that while the present emperor was

A Worldwide Conquest.

Not only the English language, but
our alphabet, seems to be destined to
become the prevailing one Of the
world. In all likelihood the Japanese
will soon legally establish our alpha
bet for the empire. The government
has had in mind for some time the
substitution of the Latin alphabet for
the clumsy and uncertain Chinese
characters which have been in use
since time immemorial, but without
waiting for government sanction. lead.
ing men in the empire have been
pushing forward a movement for this
substitution which is taking a deep
hold upon the people. The Latin al.
phabet which we and most Of the Eu.
,ropean nations use is in reality an
Irish alphabet. says the National Trib.
une. It Is based upon the writing Of
the Irish monks in the early centuries.
and which was SO clear and beautiful
that 1t rapidly gained popularity over
the grabbed and laborious characters
used by the monks In other countries
An the transcription of manuscripts. II
win be greatly to the advantage Of
iths world to adopt this Irish-Latin al.
lphabet and make 1t universal. and at
the same time giving every letter a
certain and Interchangeable value.

ALCOHOL NOT INSPIRING
Such 10 the Verdict Of Leading German
Literary Men.

Such 10 the Verdict Of Leading German
Literary Men.
Does alcohol inspire poets and 9th
ors? According to the great ones of
living literature in Germany, 1t does
not. According to biographers, In the
case Of many men, notably Edgar Al
len Poe and Addison, the English es-
sayist, 1t does.
This interesting question has been
brought to the front by DR.. van Vleu-
ten. editor of Das Literarische Echo
This is a new periodical. The editor
sought some means OF advertising 1t,
of attracting marked attention from
the literary world, to whom 1t 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, II indeed there
is such an inspiration. And yet the
Fatherland's poets sing more elo-
quently of beer and wine and the cup
that cheers and inebriates, than tho
poets of, perhaps. any other country.
OF the writer's appealed TO, four are
total abstainers, 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 cr.de.

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
couragement in 4 report recently
made by a 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 rapidly in
creasfng cost OF living in Japan labor
costs more. and in consequence cul-
tivation 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 the
excellence Of former years."-New

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all Injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
The Dolores star., 1906-12-14

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II 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-
fance Starch, as It can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great
er strength thap other makes.
