Statistics of illiteracy arc nought In con tinental nations of Europe In the case of coldlers recruited for service In the nrmy. Among Gorman recruits , reports the New York Sun , the percentage ot Illiteracy is 1.1. Of 1,000 recruits 089 can read and nrlto , 11 cannot. In Switzerland the per- contngo of Illiteracy Is one-half of 1 per cent ; In Franco It Is GiA per cent ; In Hol if \ land It la a little less , 6.4 ; In Belgium It is 13y , ; In Italy it Is 38 ; In Hungary it Is 28 , and In Russia It Is 70 per cent. There nro no authentic figures of an official or quasi-official character In Spain showing the Illiteracy of army recruits. In Spain , as In Great Britain , the test of Illiteracy Is the iccord of mnrrlaees , from which It Is seen that about 65 per cent of the popula tion of marrlace-ablo ego seems to bo Il literate. According to the last figures of those signing marriage certificates In Scotland thn ratio of Illiteracy among them was only 33 per 1,000. In England It was 58 and In Ireland It was 170 , but since then , of course the ccneral diffusion of education has fur ther reduced the figures , making them ap proximate those of Germany and other countries of the continent. In Nonvav nnc Sweden the army percentage Is nearly Identical with that of German v. in Den mark the ratio of Illiteracy among nrmy recruits Is very little higher than It Is In SwItrorlanJ , and tn Austria ( German prov ince ) the ratio of illiteracy Is very low. In some other parts rf the Austrian empire however , Croatia , the Tyro ] and Austrian- Poland , the ratio of llllteraev is much higher , bringing It up among army recruits generally to 12 per cent. In the United States 20 per cent of the population , a larger proportion than In any other coun try , Is enrolled at schools , the average at tendance nt which exceeds 10,000,000. To the largo colored population and to the alien population of the United States Is duo the fact that there Is any Illiteracy here to speak ot. Seliool for Cnmli-lloj d. A unique duty of the cashboys in Wana- maker's Now York establishment Is to go to school every morning from 8 to 10. A portion tion of them , numbering about thirty , assemble semblo In a cheerful and commodious room In the basement , relates Leslie's Weekly and devote themselves to arithmetic , spell Ing , grammar , writing , composition anc other rudiments cf an education. The school , the Idea of which originated will Mr. Wnnannker , was started experimentally early last fall , and has proved so success ful that It has now become a permanen i V feature of the store' . The school work ha 'been ' found to Increase thei efficiency ant \ ' x' usefulness of tbo boys In their store work nnd Is therefore valuable to their employer as well as to itihcmselvcs. The ISO boys nro divided Into classes am each class has two sessions a week. Regula attendance nnd strict attention to study ar ns muh insisted upon as care In any vvor ! about the establishment. The majority o the boys , however , need no urging to tak advantage of the opportunity of an educa. tlon. The business experience they have al ready had has given them an appreciation of Its value. Arithmetic , 'handwriting ' am the correct use of the Engflsh language nr the branches most dwelt upon In 'the ' cash boys' school , and under the direction o Miss Alice BouteJlo , who learned to tcac school In her nntlvo state of Vermont , large number of the boys have made prog ress which Is very marked. The books 1 which they wrlto their exercises and com positions , on such topics as "Tho Dutle of a Cashboy , " are models cf neatness am plain , legible handwriting. Whllo many o When life's autumn comes , women , worn out by the burdens and obligations of motherhood , yet shrink from that second "change of life" which will banish these burdeus forever. They fear a change in form , in feature , in pcrnonal attractive ness , and that the Ices of life will alone remain at the bottom of the cup of existence. Such x'f fear.s arc largely warranted by the effects which this change produces in many women. But no woman need let these fears fret her , who from the time of the first change of life , from girl hood to woman hood , has taken care to constantly keep her system in vigorous health. Those who have used Dr , Pkrce'a Fa- votlte Prescription do not sutler from the change of life either in face , form or feel ings as do other women. This fact is due to the intimate connection of the general health with the health of the organs pecu liarly feminine , By preserving the health of these organs , and relieving the s > stcm from the debilitating drains , ulcers and in flammations which sap its health , "Favor ite Prescripton" paves the way for this natural change to come in Nature's way , xv ithout the loss of capacity to please others or the personal inability to enjoy life.

WATCH IN NEED OF REPAIR Stolen Timepiece Left T itli n Jeweler CHUHI-M ArrcNt of John Cnrl m , Accimed of HurBlnr > . A very serious charge has been lodged against John Carlow , of the firm of Red mend & Carlow , saloonkeepers at Twenty- fourth and N streets , South Omaha. The complaint , which alleges the burglarlrlng ot John Rush's homo at Fourteenth and Mar tha streets on the evening of February 1 , Is signed by Detective Dempsey. Carlow was arieetod by Detectives Hudson and Ileelan. Between G and 7 o'clock on the evening of February 1 , while the family of Mr. Rush was at supper , n burglar climbed the front porch nnd entered the upper or living portion ot the house through a window which ho forced open. Ho took two women's gold watches , two gold crosses , one pockctbook containing $15 In cash and one pair of gold eyeglasses. Ho left no clew as to his Identity , and Mr. Rush came to the conclusion that this lot of valuables had gone the way of some diamonds which were taken last year and which have never been recovered. Ono day , however , he received word to call upon a certain Jo\\eler in the city. He was Informed by this Jeweler that the watch be longing to his daughter , Miss Gertrude RuMi , had been left In the store by John Carlow to bo repaired. The Jeweler hod rleaned the watch a short time before , so when Carlow came In with the timepiece ho had no diffi culty In recognizing It. A member of Mr. Rush's family saw Carlow , and says Carlow Informed him that ho had pali ! $7.50 for the watch , but could not remember from whom ho had gotten It. Ho disclaimed all knowledge of any of the other missing articles and urged that his possession of tbo watch should not bo used against him as a suspicious circumstance boauso ho was In the habit of taking in valuable articles whenever ttey were offered for sale by his patrons. Mr. Rush says that Carlow made no offer to restore the time piece to Its rightful owner , so ho decided to have him arrested. He accordingly au thorized the filing of a complaint alleging burglary nnd Carlow was locked up. Carlow is well known In Omaha and to the knowledge of the police has never been suspected of complicity In any crime.

Wo set out Immediate ! ) and after a march of four hours wo arrived at the village Night was coming en and It was Impossible to do nnj thing In the darkness. The best plan wns to wait for divlight A little distance from this habitation thcro was another village , wherp the natives were dancing to the music of tom-toms At 4 30 ! In the morning I heard shrieks and cries In I the llttlo village , nnd Just ns I got out with i my gun In hand , followed by my men , a I weeping -woman throw herself at ni ) feet I ringing lirr hands nnd explaining that alien lion had carried .xvvay hnr son. I "Uy torchlight wo found our way to the other village , nnd , on Inquiring , wo learned that the lion hid carried nvvny the boy Jutt as ho opened the door of the hut to fetch nemo firewood that was nt the threshold. The cries uttered by the people In the village frlghtnned the lion nwnj , nnd , moreover , It wns Impossible to find any trace of him with I the torchlights Daylight soon nppenrc < l. I told the natives not to como In any great crowd. So ten men only accompanied mo In silence , according to orders. As soon ns I there wns sulllclent light to follow the trail wo went to the hut from which the child had I been carried away. j "Wo found the trnll behind the house , which proved that the brute had gone around It. With the trail there were footmarks of the child. IMdcntly ho had been seized by the upper part of the body. Tlhen we found a fovv drops of blood , The animal passed through ono of the streets If wo may call I them streets of the village , leading toward I the river , going along with his burden In , front of more than twenty huts The In- hibltants had not been aroused by the I woman's cries until after the beast had passed. Still following the track , wo reached the stream , where the animal halted nnd loft his prey beside him. This was proved by the presence of a llttlo pool of blood. Then ho crossed the river , \\hlch was only ono foot deep , passing obliquely , almost descending the current , for four or five metres , then coming out nnd entcilug the reeds which fine the stream. "Before following the trail any further I sent TnmbarlUa to watiih the outer edge ot the .thick . bushes nnd so find if there were any traces of the nnlmal having passed through. A well known vvhlstlo from him notified us that such was the case , so I took to the clearing In order to get to him as quickly as possible. After running for a short distance through the tall grass wo came upon a new pool of blood which show ed w here the beast had stopped again ' Then wo found ourselves In a llttlo open plain still on the trail of the nocturnal | maneatcr. After that wo entered a wood , where wo discovered clots of blood and the belt of pearls that the little fellow had worn around his loins. After that we found part of his scanty clothing , which was torn off by the bushes. A pool of ( blood Indicated where the brute began to tear up his victim 'Tlnally , on the opposite edge of the wood wo passed Into the high grass , where a terrible growl brought us to a sudden halt. Thcro wo listened. Wo knew that the animal waq there , but was ho going t6 charge ? We heard nothing more. I cocked my gun and kept within reach of my hand | iny six charges of buckshot cartridges. When all was ready I advanced In the grass , ( with my hand oipon the trigger , watch- I Ing closely and listening to the slightest I sound. Ten meters before us we heard the rustling of the long grass and wo saw the heads of It waving , but nothing more. We continued to advance slowly. To the right there was a tree. I made a sign to Kam- bombe , who climbed It like a monkey in a few jumps. Soon ho wn-s In the tree's fork and on the watch. 'The child Is here,1 he said , "but there is no non. men turning to the right he shouted : 'Here he 1st Come this way ! ' "Guided bv his gesture I ran to the light. Then I signaled to the natives to follow us and with a movement of mv nrms I made them understand that thev were to watch the grass to the left. I sent Rodzanl to tell them to make a nolso so as to frighten the lion toward me Then I placed myself In a for Infants and Children.

Kambombn In the tree whispered 'He's going a\vay. No , ho Is coming back now Ho stops and looks In the direction of the men Now he's coming your wny In a walk Hero ho comes ! Hero ho comes ! Step back a little ! ' "Ono may imagine the anxiety with which I listened to these words Taking his ad- vlco I stepped back two paces My men werp behind mo with their arms icady 'Don't flro except In caao ot necessity , ' nnld I. 'Don't bo In u hurry , ' said Tambarlka. The tall grass moved forward llko a wave nnd the lion camn out at about eight metres from me , walking slowly nnd occa sionally looking behind him. At last ho saw mo. Ho stopped , showed his teeth , growled and advanced without changing his course. At the same moment ho lashed his tall , lowered his eats and seemed about to charge. Having followed him with my gun , I aimed at the nape of his neck and pulled the trigger. His legs bent as If they were rubber , nnd ho roiled over dead ns a log. "Ho was an old follow ot ordinary sl/e and extremely thin. The child that he In tended to devour vvas about 14 years old and must have been killed the very moment ho was seized , because these fellnos never carry oft struggling prey unless they are obliged to do so by a surprise. Wo carried back on an Improvised litter the bodies of the two actors In this nocturnal drama. That ot the child showed deep wounds which had torn the neck and the right shoulder , nad on one of his thighs the bono was laid bare. As for the body ot the lion , when it was brought to the village , carried by eight men , the whole population at tempted to rush upon It with old guns , bows and spears. I shouted that the first one to touch the carcass before It was skinned would make the acquaintance of my cane. All the population sat down In a circle , waiting patiently until Tchlgallo , aided by Rolzanl and Mslamblrl , finished their work. Then they rushed upon the body , filled It with projectiles , perforated It with spear thrusts and dragged the remains through all the neighboring villages. Without feet nnd without n head it looked like an ox prepared by the butchers. Later , In the midst of the lamentations ot the women , there wns a funeral dance and more noise. The body of the lion vvas burned upon an enormous flro. When wo were half way on the road to our camp we could hear the noise of the tom-toms and see the red light of tho" fire , which proved to us that the natives were making sure that expiation was complete.
