An estimable old lady had dark

BE Cheerful.

Don't sit in corner and nope be-
cause things are not going just as you
would like. A disagreeable face will
not alter a disagteeable fact. Try to
extract some grain of comfort out of
your adversities. Never despair.
Under whatever circumstances, be
cheerful and hope on. There is moth
ing so philosophical as a smile. A
merry heart is the height of wisdom.

visions of morning and the song of
the lark. Then all will become suf-
fused with daylight-aIl the gloomy
places will pulse with sunshine, the
clammy rocks will glisten with dew.

unlock the doorway to happy life?

Fire Loss of the United States.

year period, according to the chron.
ical fire tables. the aggregate fire
loss OF the country amounted to
81, O46, 500, 654. While the wealth of
the country is thus increasing. the
fire loss keeps pace in a ratio that
ought to make political economists

the full significance of such a ratio of

be confined to the underwater 1t

The Marshal Outwitted.

The Russian marshal, Suvaroff,
says Lippincott's Magazine was ia.
nous as jeweler, and was fond of
confusing the men under his com.
mand by asking them unexpected and
ABSURD question. But occasionally
ne met his match. Thus one bitter
January night, such as Russia only
can produce, he rode up to a sentry
and demanded:
GLOW many stars are in the sky?n
The soldier, not a whit disturbed.
answered coolly:
'Wait little and I'll tell you. "
And he deliberately commenced
counting, lone. two, three" etc
When he had reached 100, Suva-
ron. who was half-frozen, thought it
high time to ride off, not, however.
without inquiring the name of the
ready reckoner. Next day the latter
found himself promoted.

THERE is no denying that the
eagerness with which rich American
fathers throw their daughters into
the arms Of the foreign nobility and
gentry, and the willingness with
which the devoted virgins go to the
sacrifice, irritate and humiliate the
people of this nation. If the nobil-
ity and gentry mentioned were
conspicuously better physically, men,
tally, and morally than our own
marriageable men, the preference
shown them by our heiresses would
be founded on reason. IL they
held women in higher, more deli
cate regard than we do, the girls
could be forgiven their ignoring of
patriotism in so strictly private
matter as selecting husband. But
in general the foreigners whole out

a man to make mercenary mar

posed to be the one sought, and here
we still hold to the belief that it is
the husbands part to provide the
tent and furnish the table with
game. Chivalry survives in great
strength in our social ideals, and the

IN declaring that immigration
should be temporarily suspended in
order to shut out possible invasion
OF cholera, the Medical Congress at
Washington looked at the matter
from a sanitary standpoint only.
About everyone else has reached the
conclusion that immigration should
be shut OF indefinitely. The devel-
opments of the last few months show
that we have begun to draw from
Europe the most undesirable class of
lmmierants-people who become a
public charge under the most favora-
bic circumstances and who are mill
stone about the neck of the COM
munity in times OF depression. All
the riots in New York and in other
cities have been brought about by
these people. 1t cannot be denied
that most Of the applicants for public
charity cannot speak English, while
the incendiary addresses that are de.
livered To idle crowds are in nine
cases out of ten delivered in foreign
tongue. The remedy for this condi-
tion of affairs is self-evident Stop
immigration until the aliens already
here have become assfmilated with
the great body Of the American peo-
pie. The gates may then be thrown
open again.
