Until recently fifty per cent. Of the
immigration to the United States was
Irish, about thirty per cent. German and
twenty per cent. from various European
nations. Now the Irish immigration has
almost ceased, asserts the Philadelphia
Record, and that from Italy, Austria,
Hungary, Russia, Poland, Sweden and
Norway is rapidly increasing. Most OF
these immigrants formerly went West,
but now about two-thirds of them remain
in the New England and Middle States.

Should Breathe Through the Nose.

"Have you ever noticed said ply
stefan. show many of the people you
meet have the habit of keeping their lips
parted little. Just observe peoples
mouths in your walks about the city
and you will be surprised at the truth of
what am telling you. Or perhaps you
will not be surprised now that have
put you on your guard but you will find
the number is exceedingly large. Iven-
ture to say that more than three quarters
of the men and women to be met in the
streets OF this city will be found to have
their mouths partly open. To some ex-
tent this : due to the catarrh, which is
almost national disease. which renders
nose breathing IN at least some cases not
an easy thing. Then think it is largely
the result of bad habits. The habit of
opening the lips a little is easily ac-
quired, and, like all habits. not easily
broken. Then. again, there are some
people who have the habit of humming
10 themselves as they walk, which ma
turally tends to throw the mouth open.
OF course. the general habit of which
am speaking is an extremely bad one.
The nose Is the instrument given US to
breathe with, and only when the air
passes through the nose and is strained
there, especially in cold weather, is it in
fit condition to enter the lungs. Much
more attention should be given to the
formation of the habit of nose breathing
than is generally the case. This is a
fact that ought t, be forcibly impressed
on the mind of every parent and every
teacher. After violent exercise it is
natural and inevitable to breathe through
the mouth, just as the dog throws open
his jaws and hangs out his tongue when
exhausted by some special effort. But
the dog and all other animals when in
normal condition breathe only through
the nose, and men, women and children
ought to do the same. IN. y. Tribune.

A Vegetable Wool Plant.

J. A. Fernandez de Trava has Just
imported a new plant known as "vege-
table wool which he is anxious of intro
ducing into Louisiana. Mr.. Fernandez
relates that in 1872 party of English
tourists travelling in New Zealand found
new quality Of cotton growing there
and by way of experiment sent samples
to large manufacturers in England to see
what could be done with the new staple.
Sone years afterward the same plant was
discovered thriving in Ecuador and
large crop was shipped to Europe The
wooden factories at once recognized the
value of the new cotton and manufact-
ured wooden goods with it. While the
plant has been known for several years,
few persons have been able to obtain the
seed, as the plantations on which it is
cultivated are owned exclusively by an
English syndicate who prevent the re-
production of the plant in other coun-.
tries. Mr.. Fernandez says the climate of
Louisiana is especially suited for the
plant and feels that if once introduced it
would soon take foremost place among,
the staples of the state. Mr.. Fernandez,
has also on hand samples of magnificent
cloth made from the vegetable wool. y

The San Francisco Chronicle feels that
the report Of the Arid Land Committee,
u it is generally promulgated, will do
much to convince the outside world that
oil American farming is not unscientifc.
There is popular European fallacy that
oil that is done in the United States is to
tickle the virgin soil with plow in order
to make it produce good crops, but, as
will be learned by those who will take
the trouble to look up the question,
great deal Of intelligent farming, backed
up by considerable investments, has been
done in this country of late years.

It sounds somewhat strange, confcsses
the New Orleans Times-Democrat, to
have the Mormon question transferred to
England-it is one we have always be-
ieved so thoroughly American. It is
true that majority of the Mormon i'm
migrants came from England, but they
have carried on their operations so quietly
and secretly there that the world heard
little about them. 1t seems, however,
that they have at last attracted the at
tention Of the people of other denomina-
tons, and are being roughly handled in
consequence. The Mormons have good
organization in England, have their
churches and congregations there end do
great deal of missionary work. 1t is
complained that they teach polygamy
and defiance of the laws of both the
United States and England. They seem
to have gained in strength and numbers
lately, for in this way only can the pres
ent movement against them be explained.
The agitators who are leading the at
tack on them have asked the House of
Commons to interfere and compel "the
Saints" to abandon the teaching of poly.
gamous Mormonism in England. Should
they carry their demand, it will materi.
ally help this country in dealing with
the Mormon question, as the chief sup.
port Of the church comes from the
newly arrived and generally iguoraut
Mormon immigrants.

Most people will be surprised to learn
that the map of the United States, or, at
least, of the Western half of the country,
is changing as rapidly as that of Africa.
That such is the case is stated by the
German photographer, Habenicht-and in
the making of maps Germany leads the
world. According to the authority
named, the new features that Stanley

nent are not more extensive than the al.
terations and additions to existing maps
necessitated by the new information
gathered BY pioneer settlers and miners
in the far West. Not only are new towns
established and new railroads built, but
mountains and canyons, rivers and lakes
have been newly discovered and de-
scribed. There are considerable regions
that have been explored and mapped since
1872, and other considerable regions that
are still practically unknown-as, for in
stance, the Death Valley wilderness in
Southern California, into which the Gov.

The Chicago Herald observes: A news.
paper writer notices and deplores the
lack of good masculine carvers of fowl.
Laziness of men is assigned as the reason
for this state of affairs. Formerly the
art of carving was considered part of the
education of every head of a family.
Pater familias occupied the seat of honor
at table. In front Of him was placed a
pile of plates and the odnriferous body
of the goose, duck or turkey about to
be devoured. There never was any hest
tation on the part of the master of cere.
monies. At the proper moment he
whetted his knife with CHEEKY sound
and plunged his huge fork boldly into
the bird. Proudly and with assurance
he worked. He knew where to cut to
extract the oyster dressing, how to saw
of leg and just how thick to. slice the
white meat. That carving is fast becom-
ing lost art among men IS shown by
the fact that so few young men of the
present day know how to cut up bird.
Nothing embarrasses a modern beau so
much as to ask him to carve, II he un-
dertakes the task at all he does we'll if he
keeps his subject on the aissecting table.
Thisstate Of things is, perhaps, unavoid.
able, so many young men living in board
ing houses and hotels, where they: have
no opportunities for practice, Il should
either become fashionable. sofl ladies to
do all the carving, or else lessons ihould
