that the fly, like the fever bearing

INTERESTING STATISTICS.

An examination OF statistics relat.
Ing to the illiteracy of immigrants
which extend over a period Of three
years shows that there are consider.
able variations from year to year for
the same race. The average for the
French was 81 In the hundred over
II years OF age In 1907 and 10 In
1905 The North Italians dropped
from IL In 1906 to SO In 1908. For
Spaniards the figures were 9.s In 1906,
1875 In 1907 and 14.s in 1908; for
Greeks, 23.5 In 1906, 800 in 1907 and
os5 In 1908. II Is obvious, therefore,
that the statistics for any single year
might be somewhat misleading, but
the divisions by races are pretty clear.

covering western and northern Europe
and including the North Italians and

GOOD SERVICE AND ITS REWARD

On a New Jersey farm few weeks
ago there was a celebration In honor
OF a remarkable woman. As maid,
waitress. cook and nurse. she had been
continuously in service to one family
for fifty years. and the whole family.
including the grandchildren. gathered
to commemorate the occasion. The
master OF the house led her to her seat
at the head Of the table. and the young
women took turns In waiting on her.
There are two unusual elements In
this story. Probably there are few
servants who have presided SO long
over one kitchen. and there are proba.
bly, few families which could be gath.
cred together with such united enthu.
siasm to show their affection. their ap.
probation. their gratitude. One reason
why Mary stayed SO long is to be found
in her faithful soul. the other In the
goodness of her employers. II Ameri
cans have more dihiculty with the
servant problem" than other people. It
IL not only because they are not good
servants; but because they are not
good employers Of service. The two
relations are one In any nation taken
as a whole. Our Democracy has be.
come, II not perverted. at least invert.
ed; We interpret equality to mean that
we are all too good to be servants;
whereas II ought to mean that nobody
Is too good to be servant. that ser.
vice Is honorable and beautiful and
dignihed Difiiculties with private ser.
wants are strikingly like difficulties
with public servants. The true public
servant who has been doing his work
day In and day out quietly for hall
a century seldom finds the great dem
ocratic family he has been toiling fol
united to recognize his value at the
end Of the long term. Not that In
gratitude or any other fault Is peculiar
to democracies. but democracIes have
a proverbial deficiency of gratitude
II may be profitable to consider wheth
