Afshanls,an Infant Mortality.

Infant mortality in Afghanistan is
very heavy. 1t has been said by a
leading medical missionary in Pes
bawar that, IN his opinion, probably
about one-half the children born In
the country die before reaching the
age Of three years. There ore no spe.
cial pains exercised in. the country to
prevent such mortality, and the wan.
dering and generally insanitary mode
of life and the small attention paid to
women and infants at childbirth &C.
count for the heavy infant mortality.

Emotions Expressed IN oaneIno.

In the Vedas OF the Hindus, some
or which date back 5000 years before
Christ. there Is steady. reference to
dancing rs an expression OF triumph,
worship. and even the deepest grief.
1t is the same in the Ze%ndavestas of.
the Persians. Dancing with cyjnbals
and tambourines, with bells tied to
tnkles ard wrists or around
their waists. was an art that the
prtestcsse1 in the temples must I'M

who lived nearly 600 years before
Christ, mentions the dancing Of war
riors and of the outcast women In
the ancient japanese scrolls constant
pictures appear OF dancing girls and
warriors. And In Phoenicie and Luz

STUDY OF THE MENCANs

Recently the United States I'M
migration Commission made a
series Of investigations. the results
Of which were published in a report
that filled AZ p%onderous volumes.
Gut of that voluminous matter
two members of the commission,
Profs. jerks and Lauk prepared a
summary Of the more important
facts disclosed by the commission.
What is particularly interesting
at this time, says the New York
Telegram, is the following state
ments which they tabulated about
the Mexican immigrants in this
country. Here they are:
They are practically all engaged
in unskilled work.
In railroad work their wages are
the lowest paid to any laborers.
Very few of them ever rise 20
the rank of foreman.
In farm work they will care, for
example, for eight acres of beets
only, as compared with IL acres
by the Japanese.
Their standard of living is the
lowest, their family income is the
smallest and their lack of thrift the
greatest of all immigrant races in
Vestigated.
The cost of subsistence among
the railway Mexicans laborers was
appro yimately So a month.
They learn English slowly; less
than Id per cent of those investi-
gated could speak English.
When their children go to school
their attendance and intelligence
are decidedly less than the average.
They are very likely to become
public charges.
They are likely to be q%uarrelsome
and inclined toward crime.
And sit would seem from the
records that the Mexican is even
less desirable as a citizen than he
is as laborer."
Usually the Mexican seems to be
without ambition or thrift, are
content with the wage relation and
their progress has heen slow, much
more so than that of the Japanese
and Chinese.
A. w. Warwick, in studying the
Mexicans in an article in the Forum
recently, offers small encourage
ment for them as progressive in
dividuals.
He sums up the situation by say
ing:
THE only real hope for Mexico
as an independent nation lies in
throwing wide open the doors to
immigration as all the other Ameri-
can countries have done. Other
wise its absorption by the United
States will be inevitable"
