MEXICO IS LEARNING.
The Are er I can Way of Living : I
Taking ? xe. Deep Hold on People.
The study of English is compulsory
In the Mexican public schools. Every
year Mexico sends to the United
States a number of school teachers to
atudy American pedagogic methods ,
says Edward McCouley in the Ameri
can Monthly Review , of Reviews. A
great many Mexican children are be
ing educated in the schools and col
leges of this country , where formerly
they were sent to Europe. The num
ber of Mexican visitors to the United
States and the numbei * of American
visitors to Mexico is increasing every
year. It is said that Yucatecans know
New York better than the City of Mex
ico and that west-coast Mexicans are
more at home in San Francisco than in
their own capital city. Thus , each
year the American way of living is
taking a deeper hold on the Mexican
people.
The Vice President of Mexico and
announced successor of President
Diaz is very much Americanized in
his ideas. In fact he might easily be
mistaken for a plain , shrewd American
business man from his appearance ,
manner and methods. He has always
been exceedingly friendly toward
Americans. As Governor of the State
ot Sonora , he encouraged them to in-
I vest in enterprises in his State and te
1 settle therein. He spared no effort in
seeing that their lives , property and
civil rights were protected. He is well
Informed about the United States and

FOOD AND STUDY.
A Collesre Man's Experience.
"All through my high school course
and first year in college , " writes an
ambitious young man , "I struggled
with my studies on a diet of greasy ,
pasty foods , being especially fond of
cakes and fried things. My system
got into a state of general disorder
and it was difficult for me to apply
myself to school work with any degree
of satisfaction. I tried different medi
cines and food preparations but did
not seem able to correct the difficulty.
"Then my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food and I sampled it. I
had to do something , so I just buckled
down to a rigid observance of the di
rections on the package , and in less
than no time began to feel better. In
, a few weeks my strength was re-
i stored , my weight had increased , I
had a clearer head and felt better in
every particular. My work was sim
ply sport to what it was formerly.
"My sister's health was badly run
down and she had become so nervous
that she could not attend to her mu
sic. She went on Grape-Nuts and had
the same remarkable experience that
I had. Then my brother , Frank , who
Is in the postoffice department at Wash
ington city and had been trying to do
brain work on greasy foods , cakes and
all that , joined the Grape-Nuts army.
I showed him what it was and could
do and from a broken-down condition
he has developed into a hearty and ef-
. ficlent man.
"Besides these I could give account
of numbers of my fellow-students who
have made visible improvement men
tally and physically by the use of this
food. " Name given by Postum Co. ,

DOCTOBS WABN TJS AGAINST HAJBD WORK.
I OAF and grow fat" is the trite expression
of an .old truism supposed to have the
backing of physiological research and med
ical experience. The farmer who wishes
to fatten stock for the market does not
permit it to roam the fields. He puts the
stock In a pen , where it can get little ex-
trdse , and feeds it fattening material.
But It has never been supposed that loafing made a
person healthy or strong. It favors an increase of adi
pose tissue , but no one ever contended that it made
muscular tissue or improved the circulation or strength
ened any of the organs of the body.
But now come certain members of the American
Medical Association with the declaration that hard
work is deadly , that -"strenuous life" is making the
young men of the United States as decrepit as their
grandfathers were at the age of 70 years. The intro
duction of the cinder path , football and other forms of
outdoor athletics Into college life , it Is claimed , has re
sulted In the alarming growth of an Incurable disease
that is sapping the vitality of the young men. Tills
disease , which the doctors have named "arteriosclero
sis , " Is a stifferlng and deterioration of the arteries ,
causing them to age prematurely and bringing about a
serious affection of the heart.
It should not require the admonition of the learned
doctors to Impress young men with the danger , and
foolishness of "strenuous" athletics , or with the benefits
to be derived from rational outdoor exercise. The loaf-
Ing that permits an excessive accumulation of fat is
dangerous. The work or the athletic exercise that does
not respond to the rational needs of a particular body
Is also dangerous. Experience and common sense teach
us this without the testimony of the doctors.
Loafing does not bring health. Nor does "strenuous"
exercise necessarily bring strength. Chicago Record-
Herald.
PROSPERITY AND MONEY MADNESS.
I HAT an ordinary shameless politician , who
must live by his wits , should want to steal ,
or that a forlorn wretch who has little or
nothing , not even the fag-end of a con
science , should be tempted to rob his neigh-
bro , is comprehensible enough. But why
should a man who has more millions than
he can count , more Income than he can spend , or even
give away , a man who can satisfy every rational desire
of a human being aud yet have enough over to support
10,000 people in comfort why should such a man be
willing to commit crime to get more ?
The answer is that he has lost his mental equilib
rium ; he has become money-mad. He Is in precisely
the same case as the man who , because of infatuation
for a wanton , gives up his wife and children , his home ,
his religion , his reputation and his money ; and that
kind of a performance Is recorded In the newspapers
nearly every day. An evil passion has got possession
of the soul of the money-mad man , just as alcohol
or opium gets possession of the body of a man who is
a drinker or a doper. Why did Napoleon , having all
the rest of the continent of Europe at his feet , and lit
erally drunk with glory , want to conquer Russia and
then Asia ? Because he was ambition-mad. He had
lost his balance. He had parted with his sense of the
right proportion of things.
The money-mad man is similarly a victim , but o.f an
*
other mania. An Insane person is one who is no longer
able to perceive things as they are. Everything is dis
torted as he looks at it. Always he exaggerates his own
Importance ; invariably he gives a false value to some
other person or thing. The multi-millionaire who is so

A FAVORED SPOT. $
In these days a town which cannot
present a sufficient number of attract
ive spots to warrant the Issuing of a
book of "views" is indeed unblessed.
"They're getting out a panoramic
folder over at Green Ledge , " said one
of the Inhabitants of Sandville , gloom
ily. "Outside they've got a picture of
the church , and Inside they've got
'Main street , looking north' that
shows the hotel and 'Main street , look-
Ing south' that shows the telegraph of

"Then they've got 'Green vLake' and
The Pinesand 'The Residence of
Samuel Epps , Esquire , ' and 'A Group of
Our Citizens , ' and 'One of Green
Ledge's beautiful lanes , ' and a 'Twi

Green Ledge Bugle. ' I tell you , they
look mighty well , those views do ! Now
what are we going to show up ? Or are
we going to sit still and be squashed
right off the landscape ? "
For a moment Eben Patterson , one of
Sandville's handful of residents , who
served the limited public of his town
in many capacities , looked depressed ;
then he rose to meet the occasion.
"We'll get out a set of postal cards
that'll beat their views all hollow , " he
said , cheerfully. "Let's see we'll have
'A Little Home in Sandville' that'll be
your house taken side on , showing the
porch. Then we'll have 'The Residence
of Sandville's most honored citizen , E.
P. Grub' that'll be your house taken
head on , showing the front door and

you've got , so it'll look social.
"Then we'll have 'A Little Drive

know that place where those ten pine
trees grow ? Well , sir , I'll range you
and your family and the Todds and

anyway I'll range you in your bug-
glee , and so on , along in front of those
pines , and I reckon it'll make a picture
worth looking at

Lanwon's managed to make grow , and

with ignominy to reap a harvest of money that he wants
no more than he wants eleven toes , is a man who has
lost his head. The police might fairly collar him ; but
his rightful guardian is an alienist.
If , indeed , It be a fact that he and his kind are
multiplied , and their passion for spoil is made hotter
by prosperity , may we not consider whether , as we look
around upon the Increase of graft and development of
money-madness , this country could not obtain some
benefit from a brief spell of hard times ? Philadelphia

AGBICULTUBE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
HE question of teaching agriculture in our
public schools is being ventilated thor
T
oughly by educational leaders. State
Supt Stetson , of Maine , has expressed
the conviction that In some elementary
form all the teachers of that State should
" " " be prepared to teach agriculture. He
thinks that farm boys and farm girls should be so
taught that when they are through with the common
schools they will be qualified to make country homes ,
and not , by their very training , be biased toward town
life. The fact is that the ordinary common school does
comparatively exalt trade and manufacturing as com
pared with land culture. The children receive no in
formation whatever concerning animals and plants ,
concerning soils and fertilizers , nor are they taught the
relation that in country life should exist between the
true , the beautiful and the useful.
Suprinteudent Joyner , of North Carolina , insists that
'agriculture should be taught just as history is taught.
Asstgn a lesson in nature study , and see that the pupil
masters it. He thinks the application will come later.
Pupils will become keenly interested in matters that
touch everyday homo life. Then he would have sup
plied to the pupils small boxes , In which they are to
place the requisite soil , and in each plant a given num
ber of seeds. He would have them test seed to begin
with not go ahead blindly , but make sure at every
point. For Instance , he finds in his experiments that cab
bage seed germinates at a 90 per cent ratio , clover at
a 75 per cent ratio , while blue grass has a percentage
of germination as low as 45. His object Is to teach a
child accuracy in all matters pertaining to agriculture ;
but accuracy is nothing more or less than science.
Elbert Hubbard emphasizes the necessity of a rad
ical change in the division of school work. To teach
agriculture wisely requires a good deal of outdoor appli
cation. Recently we showed what Iowa had undertak
en with her normal schools that Is , a certain amount
of garden work and field work for Incipient teachers , so
that they will be qualified to teach nature studies in the
schools. "
There Is really no good reason why boys and girls
should be shut up all day inside school rooms. It is un
natural , and it is a serious damage to their nerves and
their muscles. There is .rto reason why half of this time
, should not be spent out of doors In the application of
the lessons learned. . These may be lessons in entomol
ogy or in ornithology , or in direct gardening. Mr. Hub-
bard adds : "Suppose we quit talking about war , and
set ourselves to the problem of educating our boys
and girls that is , educate them to be useful ; one ses
sion a day for books and the afternoon for hand work. "
He thinks this would end the era of overworked teach
ers and yellow , nervous pupils. At present we are
giving twice as much to war as we are to our schools.
We are glad to welcome the assistance of all thoughtful
educators , editors and others in this campaign for com
mon sense. Let us make our motto "Educate for the
farm and not from the farm ; educate for the country
and not from the country. " New York Tribune.

riant that's the way they'll look !

COLLIE WEIGHS SIX POUNDS.
Only Three of This Breed ot Aa-
grora Doss in America.
Although the dog aristocrats are sup
posed to have representation in the
New York and Boston dog shows , there
is one species which is never represent
ed , because the species is so rare. This
is the Angora collie , and there are only
threo of the dogs in this country. Dr.
E. C. Switzer , of Springfield , Mass. ,
owns one of the animals , and the other
two are in Newburyport , Mass. , says
the New York Herald.
The peculiar characteristic of the
dog is that while it has all the marks
of a typical collie , it weighs about six
pounds Instead of the thirty or more
which the collie ordinarily weighs. It
has the feathering on the legs and in
the ears and its head is broad and in
telligent , but here all resemblance to
the well-known breed ends , for it is a
dainty , graceful dog , with all the pret
ty ways of a small dog.
Dr. Switzer's dog is named Spider
and her father and mother were
brought to this country from Spain and
taken to Newburyport , and now the
mother and her two children , Toudie
and Spider , are the only representa
tives of the breed in this country.
Spider has an unusually broad head ,
big , intelligent eyes with spots of brown
around them , brown markings on back
and sides , slender , graceful legs , and a
coat which is gleaming white except
for the marks of brown.
The little dog is extremely affection
ate , loves to be cuddled , and makes an
excellent ladies' dog , but she Is no toy ,
for she has dauntless courage and
pluck and is always ready to defend
herrights. .
Although born in a warm country ,
she stands well the uncertainties of tUe
New England climate and is perfectly
well in the coldest weather. She is a
small eater , and fresh tripe is a deli
cacy of which she is particularly fond.
Jumping is her especial delight , and
she will take leaps with the ease of a
greyhound. She Is an excellent watch
dog and will bark uproariously at the
slightest noice. She Is sensitive to a
degree and grieves sorely over a cross
or rough word.
Hedcrehogr Fears No Snake.
An interesting fact about hedgehogs
that perhaps not many persons know Is
that the bites of even the most poison
ous serpents have no effect on them
whatever. M. Lenz , a naturalist , once
watched a fight between a hedgehog
and a viper and gives a most interest
ing description of it. lie says that
when the hedgehog came near the
snake she began to smell it , for the
sight of these animals is so poor that
they depend almost entirely on the
sense of smell , and then she seize < J
its head with her teeth.
In a moment the snake had freed
itself , and , darting at the hedgehog , bit
it several times , but the little animal
did not seem to mind the bites at all ,
and when the snake was tired out with
its efforts she again seized its head ,
which she ground between her teeth ,
poisonous fangs and all. Then she de
voured almost the whole of its body.
M. Lenz also tells of a pet hedgehog
that he kept in his house in a large
box.
box.Several
Several times he put some adders
into the box , which the hedgehog did
not seem to fear at all , but attacked
them fiercely , and , as in the case of
the other , was never in the least af
fected by their poisonous bites.
A man who has had a pet hedgehog
in his possession for a long time says
that he had often seen It throw itself
off the top of a wall fourteen feet in
height. Without pausing a moment it
would contract itself "into a soft , fluffy
ball and fall to the ground so lightly
that almost immediately it would un
fold itself and run off.

FATHER GAPON IS UNMASKED.
Revealed an Tool of Hu.isian Gov
ernment Against KevolutioniMtK.
St Petersburg dispatches say that
through the disappearance'of the jour
nalist , Matushensky , the press agent
and real brains of the Father Gapon
movement , the disclosure has been
made that the moderate labor organiza
tion , which Gapon established in St.
Petersburg after the publication of the
Imperial manifsto of Oct. 30. 1905 , was
subsidized by the government. Russian
officials supplied the funds for the rent
of its clubhouse and literature.
Radical circles are elated over the
revelation , which was made jn an open
letter by the president of the Putiloff
section of the organization , complain
ing tliat $12,000 of the funds furnished
through M. Timiriazeff , until recently
minister of commerce , had not reached
the treasury. The socialists claim that
this spells the downfall of the conserv
ative opposition to the full revolution
ary program among the workmen.
It is now shown that Gapon really
played a minor role in the formidable
movement of January , 190. . and that
Matushensky was the director of the
campaign which mystified both the po
lice and the old-time revolutionists.
Matushensky was the author of the
great petition with which the working-
men were marching to the winter pal
ace on Red Sunday. Jan. 22 , 1905 , to
present to the "emperor when the troops
fired on them.

PLAN DIVORCE STRINGENCY.
Conference "WnntH Two-Year Limit
in Place of Residence.
Divorce colonies were given a severe
jolt by the congress on uniform divorce
laws in Washington , which decided by a
considerable majority that not less than
two years' residence should be required
of a plaintiff who has changed his or her
State domicile since the cause of divorce
arose. Another resolution reported by
the committee on resolutions , which was
adopted after a warm discussion , prt -
vides :
"An innocent and injured party , hus
band or wife , seekiug a divorce should
not be compelled to ask for a dissolution
of the bonds of matrimony , but should
be allowed , at his or her option , to apply
for divorce from bed and board. There
fore divorces a ineusa should be retained
where already existing and provided for
in States where no such rights exist. "
The congress also expressed itself in
favor of hearing all divorce cases in open
court and not before any delegated repre
sentative , holding that publicity would
tend to do away with collusion and to de
crease the number of suits. Other reso
lutions adopted provide for the classifi
cation of causes for divorce into groups |
that would be accepted by the several j
States ; declare that when conviction for
crime is made a cause for divorce it
should involve two years' continuous im
prisonment ; that no decree should be
given for insanity arising after marriage ,
nor for desertion unless persisted in for
two years ; that defendants in suits
should be given full and fair notice , and '
that anyone named as a co-respondent
should in all cases be given an opportu
nity to intervene.

RHEUMATIC PAiNS
Disappear When Dr. Williams' Pmfr
Pills Purify the Blood and
Heal Inflamed Tissues.
Rheumatism is a di.sease of the blood ,
caused by the failure of the body to COKJ
off certain poisons. External npplicu-

rheumatism lies in purifying and en-

"It first appeared in my kuce joints ,
then in my hips and waist. It became
a regular thing that I would bo laid np
all winter. The rheumatism affected
mostly my hands , hips , feet msd
shoulders. My hands were ail putt'eJ
up and my feet became deformed. I
lost my appetite , couldn't sleep and
sometimes I was compelled to cry out ,
the pain was so intense.
" For several winters I was under the
doctor's care and while his iiirf.Jciiio re
lieved the pain for a little while there
seemed no prospect for a permanent
cure. I was confined to my bed , off and
on , for weeks at' a time. My limbs
swelled dreadfully at times and I was
reduced almost to nothing.
" In the spring of 1904 , upon the ad
vice of a friend , I began to use Dr.
