TO REMEDY A GREAT EVIL.
A Consular Examination of Immigrants on
the Other Side viii BE Recommended.

n Consular examination of IulDlt grants on
the Other Side viii BE Recommended.
PITTsBURG, Dec 24-Chairman Ford, of
the congressional immigration investigating
committee, left for Detroit Before his de-
parture he said: "O,r report vii be- ready
not later than Jan. 10 1t is not likely that
we will go to Providence after leaving De-
troit, but we will probably take evidence at
New York. No, we do not expect to again
call up the Castle Garden officials While
the evidence goes to show that the employees
at Castle Garden are blamable yet it must
be remembered that they have too many poo
pie to look after.
''The system of examination there is GER
tainly poor one. There are five ratings
at Castle Garden, an examiner being at each
one. through which as high as 5000 immi-
grants have rushed in day, making it inn
possible for a thorough examination Of each.
We viii recommend a consu ar inspection on
the other side of the ocean. This is the only
way that the immigration question can be
solved. Congress will undoubtedly take some
decided action about the matter.

Rearing Babies in Arabia

A royal baby's frs toilet, in Arabia, con-
sists in winding bahdasr about its body,
after 1t has been bsthed ami perfumed The
little creature is then placed on its back, its
arms and feet are Strengthened, and the en-
tire body is swathed to the shoulders. In
this posit,o on il remains motionless for forty
days, but the bandages are removed twice q
day that the child may have q bath. The
Arabs believe that this process will make the
body straight for life Under suct cncum-
stances, it seems fortunate that babyhood is
not a period which can be remembered in
after years, for nobody would choose to suf-
fer such days Of misery again, even in recol-
lection. If the child be a girl, on the seventh
day after her birth, holes, usually SIX in
number, are pricked in her ears, and when
she is two months old heavy god rings arc
attached to them, to be worn throughout her
lifetime, except during periods of mourning
for relatives
On the fourth day the babys head is shaved
"a ceremony which could scarcely be per-
formed IN our own country, where thick hair
is usually of later growth. This operation
is considered a very important one, and
thirty or forty persons are witnesses of it. for
the performance Of certain rites. This dis
posal of the first hair is regarded as a very
weighty matter; it must not be burned nor
carelessly thrown away. but buried, thrown
into the sea, or hidden in some crevice Of a
wall This forteth day marks a turning
point in the child's life Heretofore it has
only been seen by its parents, the slaves on
duty and few intimate friends of the fam
lily; now, however, it may be seen by any
body and is regarded as fairly launched on
