That Cuba is making substantial ma
terial advance is evident from some
figures given out from a work which
the bureau of insular affairs of the war
department Is preparing. It appears
that the island in 1907 had a popula-
lion of 2,04S,9S0, an increase of 1913
per cent since the last census, taken
under American supervision, in 1899.
But the most notable gain is in Cuba's
foreign trade. The value Of the i'm
ports into the island at the latest date
mentioned was s75,S03, 900, or 1913 per
cent. more than in 1899, while the ex-
ports were $114,S12,000 or 131 per
cent. increase. Furthermore, the ex.
hibit shows how good a friend is the
United States in trade matters. From
two-thirds to more than seveA-eighths
of the exports from Cuba each year
come to this country, which takes prac.
tically all the sugar, fruits and min
erals and more than nine-tenths of the
tobacco sold abroad by the Cubans.
This, with the reduced duty that ia.
vors our neighbor, shows the readiness
with which the United States extends
the helping hand to the island repub
lie.

Eeas and Easter.


The eggs has from time immemorial
been connected with this season of the
year. In Africa they even worship It
and no altar decoration Is considered
finished without circle of eggs, while
each private family boasts at least
one sacred egg.
The custom OF using eggs is sup
posed to have originated with the an
cient Greeks and Romans, who col
ored them TO use in their pagan fes
tival. Marvellous stories may be found
of bewitched eggs, said to be able
to fly straight toward the sun, and one
famous variety was said to have been
laid by a rabbit.
So even in those remote times the
Easter bunny" had a place. In Ger.
many he has been known these many
years. The children of the fatherland
watch eagerly for the hare who hides
his eggs so carefully for their finding
on Easter morning.
Russia is really the paradise of the
Easter egg. Every one carries one on
the street and presents to his friends,
saying Christ is risen," the recipient
responding: He is risen, indeed"
In practical bustling America this
season is becoming a much-looked-for
occasion. We are beginning to live up
to many OF the beautiful traditions OF
the past, of which the legends con-
corning Easter are the most beautiful
OF all.

An effort is being made in New Mex

of the scheme probably is working on
the theory that widowers. having had
actual experience of the benefits of
matrimony, should be more severely
punished than the ignorant bachelors
for wishing to cling to single blessed.

For an Easter Wedding.

The week following Easter has al
ways been a favorite time for we'd
dings, so these few suggestions for
girls who are preparing for this mo-
mentous event are timely. White
flowers should be used exclusively,
giving lilies the preference, but car
nations, roses, tulips, hyacinth and
narcissus are all effective.
A pretty conceit is to conflne one
Hower to a room, massing in bowls and
using flower holders wherever it is
possible.

Cannot Be More
HeinOuS Than
the Crime Itself
BY JOHN f. GETTING.
Editor of the American Criminal Reports.

For several years past man has been impris-
cned in an Illinois penitentiary for conspiracy to
commit the crime of assault and battery; yet had
he been convicted of assault and battery, the punish
ment could not have been greater than fine of $40
This conviction has been upheld on the theory
that conspiracy by two to commit crime is more
heinous than the crime itsef--a doctrine so absurd
that it impeaches the intelligence of the court that
announced it. With equal consistency it could be
maintained that the punishment for conspiracy to
commit murder should be followed by punishment
more severe than death; yet no man would advocate

The first condition of the modern edu-
cational system which would criticise is
the confinement of the child in a stuffy
room for five or six hours day. He must
begin by following defined precise methods
and must not even wiggle III his seat.
Then the school to-day loes not teach
the things which are of most Importance
to the pupil. The child is taught to draw
lines to represent the coasts of Europe, and
the instructions given in hygiene are lu-
dicrously inadequate. Another criticism is
that great deal Of time is wasted teaching
the child things that he would learn BY
