The proof of Mir Pruetts dis barment, as present by Bishop Blunt, from the church, is somewhat stren- uous in its wording and makes some more or less serious accusations.

SPAIN Par BEHIND NATIONS.
IIIlteracy Prevails There 70 Most
Amazing Extent.

OF the 20,0OO.OO0 people inhabiting
Spain. only about S5 per cent. can
read and write; another two and one
half per cent. Of the population can
read without being able 70 write, but
the remaining 621k per cent are alb
solute illlterates. In the south Of
Spain 1t is impossible to get a serv-
ant who can read and write, and
many OF the postmen are unable TO
tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed. They bring a bun
die Of letters to house and the
owner looks through them and takes
those which are lor which he thinks
arel addressed TO him. The Spanish
postmen are not paid By the state;
the recipient Of the letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount Of their correspondence. and
each letter costs the addressee al
least one cent It Is a joke among
the oasy-going spaniards that he who
treats the postmen best receives the
most whether they are In
tended for him or not.
