Illiteracy is a condition which most countries are striving to eradicate and which in & number has been brought to a low ebb, According to late re- ports from Germany, it is, on the face of the figures, very free from illiteracy, as but three in ten thousand cannot | | read or write, while in Great Britain it is 150 in ten thousand, and in this country 770. Among the leading na- tions this would seem to place the United States a poor third, but the method of securing the statistics is ac- countable for that showing. In this country the figures on illit- eracy cover everyome over ten years of age. In Great Britain the statistics are based on data secured wholly from official marriage registers, while in Germany only the army recruits are fvcluded. It will, therefore, be seen | that the figures for the three countries | are by no means proper for compari- son, for in the two European countries they include oniy a portion of the adults, and in the case of Germany only the physically and mentally nor- mal adults. Here the large foreign | and colored population are responsible | for most of the illiteracy, as In the rative whites only three per cent. can- not read or write. In the past ten| d years the reports show that illiteracy ! barring the first cost ,according to the | yoy paen reduced from 10.7 per cent. | experience of other towns, the eleotion { o1~ yne total population over the age | expenses will be smaller.

There are few in- sijtotions that are aoccomplishing a greater amount of good in the train- ing of children, and well organized and supervised open air sports ought be encouraged. The playground movement has ad- vanced far beyond the experimental stage. It has firmly established itself wherever tried, meeting a long feit want in the guiding along wholesome lines of that Instinctive love of physi- i activity which dwells in the young.

The thought habit makes writing easy to some--& lack of it makes writing hard for others. As to themes the world is fuller of them than the Bible, and with two such sources active mind ought to find little difficulty in finding subjects, It is always lsbor to bolster up any theory that has a weak foundation, or to make a discordant mind produce & harmonious pretense. Some people are anxious to be made aware of things not good for them. They have a way of demanding the worst from the physiclan every time they need him, just as if he could tell them true their chances of recovery or demise. “If I could only tell how this Is coming out” whimpers an in- valid when that is just the thing it would not be best for him to know. There are two good rules any doctor will approve: “Do not get frightened or morbid over your physical condi- tion,” and with reference to your hab- its be candid with the physician who is expected to successfully treat your case. The doctor cannot guess what is the matter with a patient, or often cure a patient who knows he is going to die. The best thing for any patient to feel is that he must get well. Good resolution is better than brown-bread piils for anyone who has the “hypos.” In some directions it is well not to know too much. Most of the gardeners know acut- worm when they see one, but they cannot tell why cut-worms delight in destroying plants just as robins do| strawberries or grapes. The way they | operate makes it appear that they like | the sap better than the substance. These cut-worms are the subterranean caterpillars of the grass moths— Agrstidae, of which there are many varieties. They begin their career in the late fall when the egg in the ground hatches and they feed upon rootlets until the frost warns them that it is {ime to find sleeping quar- 2 .

Every variety does not cut the plant off, but they suck out the gubstance near the ground, so that it is fatally wounded and falls over. There are milllons of these vexatious fellows in the culitvated fields of New England. Since they take to dabs of ran in molasses, mixed with paris green, the farmer of broad acres finds | an easy way to make an end of them. - The typical man is just as much of the imagination as the average man. Of course, the average man is seldom pointed out, while the typical man is the boast of cults and organizations. Many people will endorse this senti- ment from a 20th century writer: “T don’t like a tvpical Englishman, or a typical Scotchman, or a typical Ger- man (he might have added a typical American), a typical church member, erary man or musicial, or a typical | anythingarian—I like a man” The typical man, you see, has his limits, while the man made in God's own im- age and ranging free, is the only true man. The man of fancy can never equal the man of general service.

He proved a proud pupil, and ad- vanced rapldly in the good opinion of both teachers and schoolmates. No one could spell him down in the fre- quent contests they had, and as for numbers, he stood at the head of the class, One or two other boys came futo the family, but Harry was al- ways my favorite. Oh, hadn't I told you his name? Well, he was Harry Whitcomb, but T find names hard to speak, and I always called him ‘my own boy' for he seemed to llke me more than the others did, and often brought his lessons to do in my com- pany. l A;ler a time Harry must leave home to attend a higher school, and how we all missed him! The frequent visits he made to the old home were al- ways times of happy re-union, and he never failed to visit me and make me feel that I was still his old friend. He often told me no such fine trees could be found in the city streets, and that one whiff of my piny fragrance was worth more than all the hothouse flowers to be obtained there. After finishing school he found em- ployment in the city of his choice, where his industry and faithfulness advanced him from one post of re- sponsiblity to another of still greater All his letters home were read in my hearing, and 1 waved my branches in joy at the newg I heard.
