Adult Uliteracx in Mexico.

instruction for illiterates in the ter
ritories Of the republic of Mexico is
provided by a law promulgated re-
Gently. The law authorizes the employ
ment of persons In every locality who
will undertake the instruction of one
or more illiterates. Children under
fifteen years Of age who live in dis
tricts provided with schools are not
included in the application of the law.
The American consul at Mexicali, Mex
leo, who reports the PRONUNCIATION Of
the law, states that it will not only
tend to uplift the peon classes, but 1t
will also create a better feeling on ou
border. Under the American immigra-
ton law illiterates are not allowed
TO enter the United States, although
their more fortunate fellow country
men may cross and recross the border
at will.

FoRTY-THREE MILLION LIVES
Lost to World Through the Great
War; According to Figures Given
by Ststisticisn.

A study Of the different statistics Of
the actual and potential loss Of life
due to the recent war reveals the fact
that about forty-three million lives
have been lost to the world either d.
rectly from the war or from causes
Induced by ii, Richard =. Strong, NJ.
D., writes in the North American Re
view These losses are made up OF,
first, approximately 100000 deaths
which occurred in the military serv-
Ice; secondly, a surplus mortality
above that which occurred In normal
times in the civilian populations
amounting to approximately 100000,
due to epidemic and other diseases,
privatiOn, hardship, physical exhaus-
ton, and similar causes and thirdly,
a potential loss of 100000 lives
due 10 the decreased birth frequency
below that which occurred under nor
NAL conditions before the war. The
adult male population in many Euro
pean countries has been reduced by
from IA 10 20 per cent. The figures of
Alonzo Taylor show US that there are
between 100000 and 100000 peo-
pie in Europe who have lost their
prewar occupations owing to the fact
that the markets for their products
no longer exist, having been changed
or taken away from them by other
countries. Many of these people have
or soon will become refugees in Eu-
rope, among which class of people not
only poverty and hardship, but also
disease always reigns, resulting in q
high increase in death rate and de
crease in birth rate.

LOOK ON WALKING AS JOKE
People Seem to Regard Primitive
Method of Locomotion as Alto
gether Out of Date.

Charles Hanson Towne writes in the
Century: When l refer to the difficult
ties of walking. l do not refer to the
infrmities of age, to fiat feet, or to
ayoirdupois. Not at all. l mean that
it is hard indeed in these rushing
times to go afoot, even on the most
distant by-roads, without being con
sidered eccentric. People stare at
you as though you were some kind Of
freak or criminal. They cast suspi-
cious glances your way, never dream
ing that perhaps you prefer your own
feet as a can of pleasant locomo-
ton.
/ asked a certain friend if he would
not accompany me. My friend turned
to NE and instantly said:
MY car is out of order"
But l did not mean to go in a
car" | as quickly answered.
Why" he replied, looking at me
as though l had gone quite mad, how
else would we go?"
"On foot" l bravely made answer,
yet realizing that this confirmed New
Yorker would never think the same Of
me again. And ii was so. l shall
not forget, If l live a hundred years,
his final disguised glance. If any
thing further was needed TO crush me
utterly, I do not know what it
could be.

Speech Strangely Restored.

Antoine Dumas, a farmer living
neal YssiEgeaux, who for three years
had been without the power of speech,
vas cured in an unusual manner with
out the cost of a cent. Dumas served
in the French artillery during the
war. During n of the heavy bonn
bardments his voice ceased TO func-
ton, and although scores Of army
doctors tried to aid him, no ole had
ever been able to restore his power
of speech. While working in the hay
loft of his barn he slipped and fell
to the ground. Farm hands who ran
to his aid discovered that while his
only injury was a small bump at the
back of the head, Dumas was able TO
curse as loudly and co~lorfully as the
rest of the farmers.

POODLE Is MAILS GUARDIAN
Small Kansas City Dog Dirty and
Shaggy, but as Faithful as
They Make Them.

He is just a little shaggy poodle,
and as black as coal dust and smoke
can make him, but he is very devoted
to his self-imposed duties. He may be
seer each morning waiting at the rear
door of Post office Station G, 3O21 In
dependence emu
He draws no salary from the post
office department, but is as regular
In his attention to his task as though
he were receiving the top wage.
Someone is always al the door to
admit him. Then, after a casual In
spection Of the office, Ne hunts up his
chosen friend. Ed Easton, carrier 10Y
and commences his daily duties as
guardian and friend.
He waits at each stop for I'D to IN
load his mail and accompany him back
to the station, staying till Easton goes
to lunch. Then he will trot off TO his
own home for a rest, and at one
O'clock may be seen on duty once
more.
Even Sunday mornings, when his
friend does not come to the office, he
will run up to the door, wait patiently
till he is tired, and then will disappear
and no be seen any more till Monday
at the usual hour.-Kansas City

and vexation of spirit about an enter
tainment Of that kind. It's advertised
to start at a certain hour, say eight
o'clock, and you are credulous enough
TO think that the specifications win be
lived up to. You break a hame strap
TO get there in time, and when you ar
rive, at ten minutes TO eight, you find
you're the first one there. You sit
around, waiting for an hour or two, and
people walk on your feet and sit down
on your hat and make things unpleas
ant as possible.

1.-THE entertainment usually is
opened by a talksmith. The man who
makes a few remarks always looms up
at such entertainments, and should be
taken TO Jail for obtaining money un-
der false pretenses. When he has
said all that he can think of, the art
lists begin to dish up the music. 1t
may be elegant music-it usually is.
But you can't enjoy it in comfort, for
the gentleman with the large splay
foot, in the seat directly behind you,
persists in beating time with that organ
until he drives you frantic. If you turn
around and dot him in the eye, you
will be elected from the building.
