A large percentage of the native pop

they are satisfied there will be no
armed interference with their affairs.
A singular fact noticeable here and
much commented on by foreign resi-
cents is the continued absence of any
anti-American spirit among Mexicans
il the federal capital. IN spite of the
efforts of certain native newspapers,
both editorially and through their news
columns, to stir up such feeling they
have met with little success so far as
outward evidence shows. Similar ef-
fcrts by the Mexican press at the time
of the Madero revolution filed the
streets with mobs of the lower classes,
led by students who shouted against
everything American.

of the controversy, which fails to en-
list the sympathy of most of the people.
No announcement has yet been made
of a successor to Manuel Cara Aldape
as minister of the interior. The re-
moval Of Querido Moheno from the for
eign ministry to that of the interior, and
the appointment of Pedro Lascurain
to the post Of foreign minister, which
he filled under President Madero, have
been discussed.
The announcement that a diplomatic
reception would be given by Sonora
Emilia Aguila de Huerta. wife of the
provisional President, at Chapultapec
Castle tomorrow Is given as the origin
of the report that Huerta had taken up
his residence there. 1t was explained
that Sonora Huerta had decided to hold
the reception at the castle because of
the Inadequate accommodations of the
private home of the Huertas, in Liver
pool street.
Chapultapec Castle is the official resi-
dence of the Mexican President. Since
the late President Madero vacated the
place, it has been undergoing
renovation at the hands of painters and
decorators.

Reports of these outrages, coupled

the United States in the internal affa4 IS

on DR.. William Bayard Hale, the un-
official envoy Of the State Department,
that the latter present credentials

Officials here refused today to admit

Await Meeting of Congress.
The Administration is awaiting with
interest the reconvening of the Mexican
Congress, which takes place tomorrow.
Unconfirmed reports indicate that on
that occasion Huerta may issue a state
nent, and, taking a leaf out of Presi-
dent Wilson's book, make known to his
legislative body and to his people just
what he has done in his dealings with
the United States. 1t IS likely that
nothing definite will be done on either
side for the present. but Administration
officials here are still confident that,
barring unforeseen occurrences in Mex

the situation is bound to ad-
Just Itself peaceably, and that Huerta,

its formal opening session tomorrow,
and invitations have been sent to ali
of the diplomatic corps. O'Shaughnessy
included. The charge did not saw
whether or not he would accept the in
Vftation. but Americans here think he
will not.
The international situation today ap-
parently was unchanged. There was
nothing on the surface to Indicate that
the United States is prepared to take
any radical action when congress as
sembles tomorrow. General Huerta
was quoted by his friends as saying
that he contemplated making no move.

CAUGHT THE CAPTAIN.
He Was Not on the Early Morning
Job, but the Kaiser Was.

Some time ago the kaiser heard that
a captain in one of the guards regi-
ments at Potsdam had fixed the regu-
lation hour of schooling for his men at
6 o'clock in the morning The kaiser,
though doubling the fitness of such an
early hour for the lesson and the abil-
ity of popular young officer to keep
up to this rather exacting standard Of
early rising. said nothing, but one day
walked into the barrack room at g
O'clock.
The captain was not there, but the
emperor showed neither annoyance nor
surprise. He asked where the lesson
was to be found In the books. and
without more ado. TO the mingled anx-
iety and delight of the men, be took
the lesson in hand and explained the
passage in history which was the SUBJ
ject OF the day 1t was nearly Z o'clock
when the captain showed himself. The
kaiser returned his salute and made no
allusion TO his crestfallen countenance,
but handed him the lesson book after
and then left the room.
Nothing more was said or heard
about the incident until a few days
later, when the captain received a
handsome alarm clock. evidently from
the kaiser. What the officer wrote In
his letter of thanks for the gift is not
recorded. .-"Ireland's Own"

A Strenuous Statesman.

statesman and sport, had wagered
something about waistcoat which
could only be obtained in Paris; went
off to Dover by night, caught the mail
packet, posted to Paris and back to
Calais, and remembered be had horse
racing at Newmarket. He chartered
q fishing boat bound for the eastern
counties, just got to Newmarket in time
for the race, took the post back to
London and stopped on the way to dine.
In the middle Of the dinner he was
caught by special messenger who
had been tearing over half of England
In search of him and reminded that
he had to move to bring in marriage

rushed to the stables, reached the
house in time to make a brilliant

school Attendance.

Washington, Aug. l6.-The lit
tie schoolhouse on the hillside
draws more children to its doors
than the city school in mill town.
The latest school reports for fifty
three districts in North Carolina
with nearly 13 900 children Of
school age, show that in the mill
towns only one-half of the children
enroll in school, in country dis
tricts three -fourths of the children
enroll In two small mill districts
the percentage of enrolment is as
high as the rural average, but still
far below the percentage in nine
rural dis tricts, where more than
uine-tenths of the children are en-
rolled. North Carolina has this
year passed law to compel all
children under twelve years of age
TO attend school The National
Child Labor Committee points out
that so long as the child labor law
permits children of twelve to work
in the mills, the new school at
tendance law will not affect the
lower enrolment aud school at
tendance in mill districts.

DINING ON SHlPBOARD.
Different Now From What 1t Was
When Dickens Visited Us.

When Dickens came over to America
some seventy odd years ago there was
one large table in the dining room for
the passengers. The first officer sat ut
the head. carving the turkey with all
the grace he could command between
lurches of the good ship, trusting to
Providence that the gravy would not
slop over. The passengers sent their
plates along the line and waited for
their helpings.
Today the dining room Of a large
ship looks like the dining room of a
fine hotel. II is just as exquisItely ap
pointed and has every good thing to
eat that can be found on land In
fact, one of the new ships has a res.
taurant named after a famous one In
New York. and the two keep in touch
by wireless so that the menus, day by
day, are the same. Think of having
your dinner arranged by wireless
your macaroni by Marconi!
The dining room is divided up into
number of small tables. so that you
can have your own party with only
half dozen of you, with your own
waiter. instead of sitting at a long ta-
BILE and passing your plate. as Dickens
did

INSECT ANAESTHETIcS.
Wasps and Beetles Paralyxe Their
Victims Before kilinq


That the sting of the wasp, which

rather than kills 1t is we'll known.
The victim remains alive in the bur-

grub finds ready for it provision of

similar yet even more extraordinary
fact in the history of the glowworm

at leisure and predigested This beetle,
whose brilliant phosphorescence at

The curious thing is that the beetle
anaesthetizes the mollusk at the first
attack, preventing it from escaping by
withdrawing to safety deep within its
shell. Upon finding the snail the
beetle dashes forward and, thrusting
out it's sharp, curved mandibles, re-
peatedly stabs the side of the body of

snail becomes insensible and remains
IN that deadened state for three or
four hours-a time more than sufficient
