There landed in this country last

birth 100000 less than came the
year before. But the report shows
that while there is q decrease ia the
total immigration, there is an
Increase from Austria, Hungary. 1t
appears there is a stronger outflow
from Austria, Russia and Italy,
which attempt to restrict the
movement, than from the Anglo

husband-for sGyely you are not one OF
the girls who have 8 sweetheart here,
and one there, and gives 8 little love to
this one and little to that one, until
when the real one appears the bloom
is gone from the peach, and she cannot
give him what he offers her. You girls
know very quickly when man means
more than ordinary friendship for you.
You have an instinct that tells
you that this big, good-looking
fellow has come sweethearting, and
that this Is the time for you to
study him a little bit. Think out
If his temper and yours are certain to
agree we'll together; think out if your
tastes and his are alike, or IL they can
grow to be so, for you know, little
woman. if you want to be happy in your
married life you must learn the great
and wonderful virtue of adaptabllty.
You must choose your sweetheart as you
do new gown. SO that he will wear
well; but you want him for longer than
winter: he must last through the long
summer days and through the. winter
ones. and before you put your hand IN
his and tell him that you are willing
to fight out the battle of life together.
think 1t all over well and remember
that you are choosing your sWeetheaIts
not for day or a year. but for an

NAPOLEON's ADVISER.
His Prophecies Were Never
Needed, but Always Came True.

His Prophecies Were Never
Needed, but Always Came True.
From the German.
A young French engineer named
Lefebre Vincent was renowned for his
extraordinary abilities. for which Ma
poleon 1. sought his services.
The emperor asked his advice DeI0Ie
the unsuccessful undertaking OF ot'
Domingo. Vincent advised him not 10
undertake it. and predicted the conse-
quence correctly. Before the expedl-
ton to Portugal Napoleon again asked
the advice Of the young colonel, VINO VINO
frankly answered: "Your troops VIII
make an entrance, but they will also
have to leave" dGood!" said Bona
parte; this time you shall go with!
Them" And Vincent entered Portugal
with them, but the issue was Identical
with his prophecy.
Once again Napoleon asked Vlncents
opinion of the intended war against
Russia, and again the officer gave the
emperor an unwelcome answer. "Your
armies will Freeze" he said. in tone
of conviction. That time Napoleon DID
not take Vincent with him. so that
you will not freeze als0," he said testify.
But he gave him the command OF the
Island of Elba, and there Colonel Vim
cent received the banisned emperor on
May IA, 1914.
F ''Ha. Vincentv' exclaimed Napoleon
when he spied the colonel, II have com
mitted fifty foolish tricks. Had l
listened to you there would have Deen
three less; but now it Is 100 late. Where
will you quarter me"'
"In the best place in my house," an
swered the commander. Your majesty
will be cared for in the best possible
manner"
Beside the house was garden, which
was bordered by an avenue of trees on
the ocean side. When Bonaparte saw
this avenue he said: "Everything on
the island pleases me but these trees
they obstruct the view" Vincent, how
ever, answered: "Often storms arise
from the ocean. and without the pro.
lection of these trees not tile would
remain on the house."
Shortly after the colonel made visit
to the continent for several days, and
during his absence Napoleon had the
trees felled. But the same day storm
uncovered the house entirely. When
Vincent returned Napoleon called out
to him from afar: "You are my bad
omen; you cannot stay Oh my land y
Soon after Vincent settled in Paris,

1T WAS HER WALK.

Making a Regular Street-Clean-
ing Department Of Her Petit
coats.
New York Sun.
Hele is something that will be appre-
ciated by the unfortunate wo man who,
all inadvertently. mops off the car steps
and sweeps up the crosswalks on rainy
days, that her more dainty sisters may
go, like the Israolites through the Dead
sea, dry shod. 1t was at beauty matt
nee, and the high prieStesS of the ora
Gle had been initiating women into the
mysteries and doctrines of the gospel of
grace divine. At the close an eager
throng of women crowded about the
priestess, cOnfessing each her own
peculiar needs and desires. The
fat woman who would be lean,
the lean woman who would be fat,
the woman with round shoulders, the
woman with the unmanageable abdo-
men, the lame and the halt, the woman
with the muddy skin, and the woman
with cramps in her feet; the woman
with large waist, and the woman with
no waist at all, each demanding to
know what she should do to be saved.
From the edge of the crowd a slender
little woman elbowed her way in with
anxious face.
"And what is your tronbe?" asked
the apostle and expouDder Of beauty.
"Just this, that l can't stir outdoors
without covering my skirts with mud on
rainy days. l sweep everything clean
after me and carry the dirt home on my
Clothes"
slave you tried the divided skirt?''
"Yes. 1t was only like two skirts to
clean instead of one. Besides. / don't
mind the skirts so much; they will
wash. l ruin my dresses and spatter
my long cloak half way to my waist.
Can't you tell me something to do?"
81 think perhaps there's something
wrong with your walk. You should
take few lessons In poising and STEP
ping lightly on the ball of your foot in
stead of the heel. Will you come?''
"Will come? Indeed will, and do
anything you suggest. would submit
to a surgical operation to be broken of
the habit of making a regular street
cleaning department of my petticoats.' -
And the little woman elbowed her way
out again with the frown of anxious
perpleXity smoothed out between her
brows and the light of new hope and de.
termination in her soft bright eyes.

Chatter
1t would be difficult to conceive
more carefully guarded, pure and fresh
existence than is led by the daughters
of the average men AMI women of
wealth and refinement in town. They
are sheltered like Jewels and nurtured
like orchids. They read only what
their mothers have read before them;
they shop and promenade only with
their maids or governeSSes or with tried
companions. Those who are of an age
to be courted are courted in the pres
ence of the family, and these young Ia
dies seldom go abroad to theater, lee
ture or concert except with third mem
ber in the party. Out-of-town people
who read the reams of nonsense that
are written about "society" in New
York must fancy that there are no
homes in the true sense of the word in
New York. Yet there are miles of the
most perfectly governed, simple and
beautiful homes into which the writers
never penetrate.
know of nothing more picturesque
and pretty than the glimpSeS | get now
and then of the home lives of some
daughters of very rich friends OF Muir
ray Hill. Take the case, for instance, OF
a girl of eighteen whose home is house
of old-faShiOned amplitude-a home
such as even the moderately well-to-do
know little about, In which every mem
Der of the household, except the serv-
ants, has TWO rooms, and in which the
servants live apart in complete house
built as an extension behind the man
sion. This favored girl has dressing
or withdrawing room, and bed room
and bath room.
You would not suppose 1t, but the
grand room of the three is the bed room.
You scarcely notice the bed in it-Set in
corner, brilliant trifle of FURNISHED
brass ali swathed in hangings of deli
cate tea-ereen fretted with tiny tassels.
The room contains lounges and easy
chairs and rockers, great soft rugs.
pretty inlaid writlng-desk, great fold
ing three-Sided full-length cheval glass,
and many delicate water-colors in pure
white frames. All the woodwork of the
room Is pure white. but the window cur
tains, portieres and the silken panels on
the walls are all Of dainty tea-green
silk to accord with the hangings on the
couch.
In this room the young woman re-
ceives her lady friends in her tea-goWn
or wrapper. and at perfect ease. 1t has
the use that still wealthier ladies make
of a boudoir. 1t is private parlor hal
the time-a sleeping room only at night.
When the young girl rises she goes to
her withdrawing room to dress.

1T WAS LOADED.

Awful Consequences Of Wearing a
Too Complicated Bonnet to
Church.
New York Herald.
She bought a spring hat of Nine.
Somebody, whose name begins with
Mc-that is to say, when her name
began. She paid enough for it to buy
her husband four suits of clothes and a
new cradle for the baby. She had a
mansard roof put on the big parlor pier
glass, and ther she surveyed herself
with the satisfaction which only bon
net of the Eiffel tower pattern can pro-
duce in the mind of sweet femininity.
There was a flower garden on that
hat, and there would have been an
apiary also had it not been that birds
were not the latest agony. 1t was a real
nice bat and no mistake, and If she
could only have worn mortgage on it
do not think that fashion would have
produced a finer or more complete
piece of architecture.
Armed and equipped with this inter-
eSting piece of millinery, she went to
church and said the responses in voice
both firm and loud. She noticed that
the congregation about her seemed in
tereSted in that hat, and she felt thrill
of pride such as the most pious must
experience when laboring under the
knowledge of too-tooness that eXalts one
above ones neghborS. But coupled
with the interest was an ineXplicable
disposition to smile that she could not
comprehend nor rejoice In. She won
dered what it meant. And she found
out, for suddenly, in the midst of the
Litany, fearful noise filled the sane
tuarY. 1t came from the region of her
hanging garden, and the way people
about her stuffed their handkerchiefs
in their mouths and eyed her showed
that it was this hat and nothing else
which was thus squaIling like an in
fant who lacks the maternal comforts
of babyhO0d.
HOrrified beyond measure, she sailed
down the aisle, the awful sound accom-
panying her, and tainted at the door.
They picked ner up tenderly, and a
frightened usher stepped on the grand
hat and crushed it out Of shape, at the
same time making a tremendous pop
and silencing the shriII voice of COM
plant.
They made a post mortem on the
ragged remnant and found, what do
you think?-one of those balloon-like
rubber babies, the latest fad Of fashion
able society. which a mischievous
younger brother had perched among
the flowers, and which had gone off just
at the time when its collapse would
work the greatest mischief.
She wears a bonnet Of sober brown
now. 1t is only one story high. and the
thatch upon the roof is of the simplest
fashion. Her father says he is laying
up money, and hopes to declare divi-
dend on his earnings before the year is
over.

ligatOr.
Detroit Free Press.
Very curious things come through the
mails. A few days ago lady living on
Hancock avenue received small box
which was addressed to an absent mem
ber of the family. The good woman
looked it over and saw that it came from
the South. Then she put 1t away and
went about her household duties.
But somehow her mind would revert
to that box. She took it out Of the
drawer and looked at 1t again. Then
she put it to her ear and listened, and
even imagined she could hear something
scratch inside. She at last decided to
take a peep. Ever since the world was
made women have been inquisitive.
The box was tied up firmly, and it
took some time to cut the cords and re-
move the cover. Then there was layer
of cotton. Then this placard:

The good woman jumped five feet
away from the box and seized weapon
of defense. Then she put the cover on
and tied up the box with trembling
fingers.
When the rightful owner of the box
came she opened it, read the card, took
up another layer of cotton. and there
lay tiny alligator from the Swamps of
Florida. 1t was very feeble, but the
family will do their best to rear 1t as a

cured by the use of Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. Be sure you get Ayers and no
other, and take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the

testimony
"About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
gout, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, saw by an advertise
ment in Chicago paper that man had
been relieved of this distressing COM
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. I then decided to
make trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to state that it has effected a
complete cure. have since had no re-
turn of the disease. Mrs. r. Irving

fined to my house six months came
