CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

The treasury department at
Washington has made report on
the number of aliens and emf
grants who came to this country
during the period beginning with
the year 1888. Copies of the re-
port have been furnished the col
lectors at each port, and from it
the following figures are taken,
showing the number of Cinnamon
who came to the United States
during this time:
During the period beginning
with the year 1920 and ending
in 1881, 2 Chinese landed; from
1881 to 1912, Il; from 1913 to
1853, 20; from 1853 to 1862, the

TIPPING THE HAT.

The custom Of lifting the hat
had its origin during the age OF
chivalry, when it was customary
fot knights never to appear in
public unless in full armor. 1t
became custom, however, for a
knight upon entering an assembly,
of friends, to remove his helmet,
signifying: II am safe in the pres
ence of my friends" The age of
chiva!ry passed away with the
fifteenth century, but among the
many acts of courtesy which can
be traced back to its influence,
none is more direct in its origin
than that of lifting the hat to ac-
knowledge the presence of a
friend.

His-Midnight Visitor.

A young man whose home is in
Chicago, and who has been in
Denver only a little more than
week, had an experience in the
Pullman sleeper between Kansas
City and this point which he will
not soon forget, says the Denver
Times. Interesting and novel as
it was, he does not care for repe-
tition Of the adventure.
At about u o'clock of the first
night out from Kansas City-the
hour when the most uncanny
things are wont to happen-the
young man was awakened in his
berth by a pressure on his feet,
and he saw sitting at the foot of
his bed and dressed for the night
in a spotless white garment, with
insertings and ruff1es and things
foreign to the midnight makeup of
male humanity, the form Of a girl
or young woman, whose features
he could not distinguish in the
dim, if not religious light. While
the young man is not susceptible
to shocks so far as the foibles of
women are involved, he was some
what astounded, and lay still for a
few minutes wondering what to do
under the circumstances. Present
ly he founfhis wits and voice.
care you comfortable?" he ask
ed, in his softest tones.
"I'm quite comfortable" was the
calm, unruff1ed reply.
The passive assurance of the
woman in white interfered some
what with the young mans line
of thought and conjecture, but he
was not long in formulating a Sec
ond attack.
"Wouldn't you prefer seat at
the head of the bed?'' he. asked.
s'No, thank you," was the re-
sponse; "I'm very comfortable
here"
Perhaps you would like a pill
low!" he suggested, offering her
one of the two upon which his
head had been resting.
By this time the young man was
thoroughly satisfied that the wo-
man was young and pretty, if not
unsophisticated, so when she ad-
justed the pillow between her
head and the tootboard of the
berth the temporary owner of the
premises was more pleased than
panied. Partly III Difference to
what he thought was the impene-
trable impudence of his ghostly
visitor, partly in spirit of fun,
and partly on account of the
proverbial meagerness of the
sleeping-car pillow, the young man
held out the other feather cushion,
saying:
"Won't you take the other one?''
Yes, she would and did, placing
it with its companion piece and
snugly nesting her head upon the
pair. All this time the visitor had
sat upon the edge of the berth,
her feet resting on the floor of the
aisle, her head and shoulders
against the footboard. The con-
yersation which the young man
had INDUCED in was in pianissimo
tones, that he should disturb no
other occupants of the car. The
replies of his unexpected caller
had been less guarded in volume.
In fact, they might have been
heard a good many feet away had
there been any wakeful ear within
the distance named.

A distinguished lawyer of Brook
lyn says: sANot long ago / was
talking with Mr.. Blaine about
Col. Robt. G. Ingersoll, whom we
both greatly admire for his Won
derful talents. [ made the re-
mark that it was my belief that
Col. Ingersoll would ultimately
renounce his agnosticism. Mr..
Blaine said: 4 think SO too, and
| shouldn't be surprised to see
him some day in the pulpit"
The census is taken in China in
curious manner. Every year the
oldest master of every ten houses
has to count the families, and has
to make list, which is sent to the
imperial tax house. Last year the
whole number amounted to &c.,
3S3, 500 inhabitants. These figures
make the population of the country
much greater than has hitherto
been estimated. They are proba-
bly, incorrect.
They get at the real value of a
cow in Sussex county, n. j., by
selling her at SO much quart.
The scheme is pronounced by
dairymen as the most equitable
yet proposed in the sale of milch
COWS. The purchaser pays $3.50
per quart. Thus if she gives
twenty quarts daily, she is worth
$50. The purchaser keeps the
COW on trial for a week.

How sweet was that voice of slow music

tempus did not fugit very fast for
her berth mate. He hardly knew
what to do in the face of such in
difference under such circum
stances, but collected his wander
ing thoughts and asked her again
lif she was comfortable. '.Perfectly
comfortable" she said. He sat
up in the bunk. She didn't move.
He put his feet in the aisle and
sat on the edge~of the bunk close
beside her. She paid no attention
to him, when parting of the cur
tains let ray of light fall on her
face.
The eyes were stonily gazing at
nothing, and not feature of the
|countenance betrayed the slightest
evidence of consciousness. The
face was pretty and innocent
that of a pure minded girl be
tween sixteen and twenty years of
age. 1t was plain that she slept,
that she was a somnambulist and
that she had no knowledge of her
whereabouts nor of her words or
deeds. The young man tried by
talking to her to find out how she
had come to his bunk, but could
get no ineligible replies other
than that her sister and herself
were travelling to Salidas, where
they intended visiting some
friends, and, moreover, her tones
were loud.
Worst of all, the train came to a
stand still while he was en-
deavoring to make her tell where
she belonged. The situation was
increasingly embarrassing. Sup
pose the girl had father or big
brother on board and that relative
should find her in the strange
young mans berth. Odds POUNDS!
Suppose the girl should suddenly
recover consciousness and should
scream, as only a young woman
similarly placed might be expected
to scream. Cnsars ghost The
young man would not find friend
or believer on the train.
The hero of the tale restored the
maiden to her restful position on
the pillows, dressed himself partly,
and went in search of the porter.
That functionary was sound asleep.
He was told that there was SOM
nambulist on board. The porter
could not make out what a SOM
nambulist might be, so he called
the conductor. The last named
heard the young mans briefly
narrated story, and accompanied
him and the grinning porter to the
berth. There was no sleeping
beauty anywhere visible. The
berth was empty. With many
mental reservations as to the con-
dition of mind and body in which
the young man had retired the
evening before, the conductor con-
sented to waken two young ladies
who were occupants of the car.
Only one of those young ladies
could be found. The young man
had not been dreaming. The sister
who was found was greatly dis
turbed. She readily admitted that
! her younger sister was known to
walk in her sleep. The car was
carefully searched and in an unas-
signed berth at one .end Of the
! coach the girl was found snugly
curled up and sleeping as sweetly
as babe. The task of leading her
back to her own berth did not
awaken her, and when she opened
her eyes to the morning light
/
those beautiful windows of the
soul gave no sign that the owner
of their tenament knew what the
night had brought forth. No one
told her of her strange adventure,
and possibly no one ever will.
She might have wondered why the
young man who had been SO OBJ
servant prior to the momentous
night did not, so na,lch as ln11k at

PITH AND POINT.

Our first impressions are full OF
errors. Time is the only sure proof
reader.-Puck.
Our value in life is not in being
conspicuous, but in being faithful to
the work given us and the trust i'm
posed on us.
Great efforts from great motives is
the best definition of happy life.
The easiest labor is burden to him
who has no motive for performing it.
1t is not interesting to have a man
tell how rich he might have been if he
had had good luck. 1t is better to
know what he has been able to do
against bad luck.-N. o. Picayune.
There never was a man born OF
woman brave enough to fight a black
cat in a dark room voluntarily, with
no one to have knowledge of the en-
counter or to look on and applaud
San Francisco Argonaut.
Ordinarily, the very sin about
which men are most sensitive is the
very one which demands attention and
exposure. The place in the body that
is most sore to touch is the place that
demands most clearly the surgeons art
and firm hand. National Baptist
Moderate work, alternating with
moderate rest, gives brain which,
taking the whole life through, will &C
complish the most and the best work
of which human being is capable.
The brains are to be improved and
developed by reasonable exercise and
reasonable rest. The one is as essen
tial as the other.
Beauty hath its charms, but the
charms of gracious manners far out
weigh them. The manners that ex-
press a kindly, sympathetic heart,
open to the influence of another per-
sonality as the flower to the sun, and
as unconsciously giving back its own
fragrance, are gift that far Outshines
physical graces.
The greatest moral effects are like
those of music-nOt wrought out by
PAOPO0ASAO1S'
but melted in by divine fusion, by
words that have mysterious indefinite
ness, fullness of meaning, made living
by sweet voices, which seem to be the
out-throbbing of angelic hearts.
To be vain is rather mark of hu-
mility than pride. Vain men delight
in telling what honors have done them,
what great company they have kept,
and the like; by which they plainly
confess that these honors were more
than their due and such as their friends
would not believe if they had not been
told; whereas a man truly proud thinks
the honor below his merit, and scorns
to boast.
What makes saintliness, in my
view, as distinguished from ordinary
goodness, is d certain quality of mag
namity and greatness of soul that
brings life within the circle of the he
roic. To be really great in little things,
to be truly noble and heroic in the in
sipid details of everyday life, is vir-
tue so rare as to be worthy of canoni-
zation. Mrs. Stowe.
