The April Cosmopolitan.

While writing with all the scientific knowl-
edge of q great astronomer. Camille Flamma-
rion in his marvellous story omega: The
End ofthe World" which begins in the Arril
number of the Cosmopolitan magazine,
keeps the reader at the highest point of e4-
element by his vivid description of the
a!atln and despair excited by the approach
of Il comet who's collision with the earth
had been declared by Astronomers inevita-
BILE. The description begins at a time when
the business of the world has been sus-
pended, and at a great mass meeting held
in the institute of France. We hear the dis
oussion of scientists as to the possibility of
a second deluge, the drying up Of all the
surfacs wator of the globe, or the total de-
struction of human life by cold, together
with all the possible phases of death paral-
leled by the history of the moon. For SCI
entifc statement and sensational effect this
characteristic of French genius is unique,
and the reader who reads this marvellous
story-and If he begins be will certainly
finish twill have assimilated without eff
fort, q compact store of scientific knowl-
edge. In this way, apart from its absorbing
interest. this remarkable piece of fiction
will have a distinct scientific value.

The Daughters Allowance.

My heart aches for a daughter whose
oyer-anxious parents talk to her as if all
her wants, pleasures and pursuits were
frlvoities, and so to be condemned. Those
things are 90 much to young people, and
most girls have SO much in their natures
beside the trivial surface effervescence which
sometimes offends maturer persons. because
it is 30 little understood, writes Mrs. M. L.
Hungerford in Harper's Bazaar.
No one who has lived in q large city can
have failed to see repeated cases where the
daughters Of a rich man. when plunged
into sudden adversely, throw extravaganza
and worldliness from them like a cast off
garment. and, as true women always do.
use such talents as GOD has given to earn
the family living. No early record of lavish
expenditure hampers them then. No
reminiscences of past splendor handicap
them, and the fact that they were literally
provided for once does not make them less
capable Of intelligent economy when the
need for it arises.
This on the other side. One Of the most
wildly e1travagant women In New York was
the daughter of q missionary. who never
before her marriage had owned five dollars,
oPpoao w ehh. tuo stcTy OI tue wire OF q
curate who makes a happy home for hus-
band and children on his salary OF 81, 800 a
year.. the exact sum her wealthy father gave
as her yearly allowance before she disap-
pointed him by marrying against his wishes.
In asking five we'll, reared girls in eaay cir.
cumstances to tell Inc the lowest sum tina,
will make q BETTING allowance, my answers
have been 81 900 a year from two of my cor.
respondents, $500 from two others. and S:35(
from anothe-. In the note mentioning the
last sum-, the writer, knowing my motive
for asking, says: Don't cut off the $50
and make it $500, for that will mean drudo,
cry. and nothing else
But as the question is TO be met and
fairly answered. must say that i think
$500 will cover the ground, if self-dsnial
and good management arc to be counted
on. But in giving my verdict | will add n
recommendation to mercy. and / hope
every man i'll good circumstances will give
his daughter a larger amount than have
indicated. Many a parent who has never
aDportioned "a systematic allowance and TO
whom this lump sum may seem large, mny
find to his amaZement on calculation that
his nctual outlay has surpassed it.

The Administration and "society."

The eossips of the capital who like an
il for them have doubtless been wondering
why social considerations have been so
much ignored. Why are there to be no big
cabinet %banquets? Well. perhaps there
are, but it must be confessed that on the
surface there is nc sign of one.
Nevertheless, fashion must not frown
on Mr.. Cleveland as if he were
ITS enemy. II should recall the
first cabinet, and remember with deep graf
itude the gracious and abundant hospital
ity of the Bayards, the Endicotts. the Whit
news and the Fairchilds. Mr.. Cleveland is
not unwilling that his cabinet should give
feasts and dances. but he chooses his asso-
ciates for their capacity for carrying on
the business of the administration So
ciety will flourish whether or not the cRbi-
net helps along the enjoyment. but there is
no reason, under our constitution and with
our republican view, why poor men should
be debarred from the cabinet. or why the
country should not enjoy the services Of On
able man whose polite education had been
unfortunately neglected. The graces of
life are good, and Washington will have
them Notwithstanding the cabinet, but it is
not essential to the transaction of the
public business that the secretary of state
should be able to furnish sumptuous enter
tainments for the idlers of the capital, or
that he should add to his diplomacy q nice
taste for terrapin and Burgundy.-Aarper's

MONTANA's FOREIGN BORN RESI-.
ENT

The last census bulletin presents
interesting statistics of the foreign
born population in this country. The
total number of citizens Of this
class in the United States in 1850 was
2,244,6O2, or nearly 10 per cent of the
entire population. In 1890 it had
reached 9,249,597 or nearly Is per cent,
showing an increase of nearly one-third.
1t is interesting to know that this was
greater in 1870 than in 1880, showing
that the heavy increase has come with
in the past ten years.
According to this advance report
there are now in Montana 1906 foreign
born residents or, approximately, one
fourth of the total population. The ma
tives Of Canada and Newfoundland lead
with 9,O4O souls. Then come the Irish
with 6,64S and close behind are the ma
tives of England numbering 6,480 new
corners. The figures 5000 represent the
German arrivals, while the Swedes have
3,771 and the Norwegians 1867 or about
two-thirds less. After all the talk about
Chinese immigration we find less than
5000 of that race in Montana. The for
eign born residents in this state from
other countries range in numbers less
than one Thousand, the Austrians at
the top with 939. In the smaller col
umns we find six Spaniards, seven
Japs, II from the West Indies, 40 Mex
leans, 25 Portuguese, II Greeks. IL native
Africans, Al Australians and % residents
who we're born at sea. These figures do
not include all races represented.
The cosmopolitan character of our
population is shown by the fact that
Montana alone of all the territories has
representatives from every one of the
forty-one n~ationalities given in the last.

Riley was thinking of the Montana
office seeker when he penned this

Boys, paste that in your hats and read
it every day. II you think your Uncle
Grover a trifle slow, remember that you
belong to the democracy that wouldn't
elect a senator, and say to yourselves
that you "hain't a-goin to fret and fuss
about it." Console yourselves with the
thought that you will either get an
office or get in the neck. If it is the
office, all right: if not get together and
"llr. thank God! Well git along without it!"'
1t will be n or the other, "shore,"
and may your necks get the best Of 1t.
