Immigration For May.

The immigration figures just issued by
she bureau of statistics of the treasury
department for the month of May show
Il very considerable reaction in the direc
ton OF increased immigration from the
falling off of last year. For the five
months ending May 81, as compared
with the corresponding period of the
previous year, there was falling off of
10000 and upward, and for the II
months falling off of 10000. But for
the month of May, as compared with
the corresponding month of 1909, there
was a gain of 3,143. The details of the
showing are interesting. The largest
gain over last year was i'll Italian immi-
grafton, 1902. The largest loss was in
German immigration, G,199. There was
Il falling off in the immigration from
Great Britain of nearly 1000. and a gain

were considerable gains from the Neither

Gold in q Grave.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
"a good turn will always turn up SO that you
never get the worst of it, said Frank Painter
of Como, Col, at the Leclere Hotel to a re-
porter.
How DO you suppose one of the best fellows
that ever lived became a rich man? 1t ism I a
long story. but it shows to finish tn at a
square act never goes astray. even if it does take
some time in finding its way around.

early DAYS without cent to his life. He

knew that it wasn't his fault that things didn'

fuse him shelter when things came particularly
hard.
We'll. one day Jere struck out; he was dis.

The WON an Preacher.

From the New York Ledger.
There seems to be no objection whatever to
woman taking control of Sunday schools,
benevolent institutions, church fairs, festivals
and all other means of caring for the focks
and filling the ecclesiastical exchequer, but
when it comes to women in the pulpit there is
trouble at once. This is only another Of tine
relics OF barbarism.
In old times if the church could get control
of the women and little children they felt
pretty sure of their ability to manage the rest
OF the human family.
Half a century ago woman doctor was
scarcely recognized in reputable circles, and
woman lecturer was monstrosity. Con-
:rasting that date with the present and taking
note OF the change III sentiment from one de-
cade to another, it is scarcely too much to ex-
pect that by another fifty years we shall see a
most wonderful revolution in matters OF this
sort. 1t is safe to predict that before the end
of the first decade Of the next century the
woman preacher will be no more of n novelty
than the woman doctor now is. Woman Is
specially fitted for such work. and even were
she not SO it would be only the strlctest kind
as most of the hard work OF the church. When
once it dawns fully upon the minds of the peo-
pie of this generation that there is no sex in
intellect or moral achievement, the first and
most difficult part OF this knotty problem will
have been soivei
By all means open the pulpit doors to women
as well rs those OF the Sunday school room, the
hospital and the executive committee.

BeIl-RiEg'.g Fish.

From the New York Herald
Fish have many times been taught to per-
form tricks. and j. would appear as if they had
much more intelligence than is attributed to
them Mr. J. A. Bailey Of circus fame once
had two brook trout in a small aquarium in his
private residence that would jump out Of the
water ard take flies held between the forefnger
and thumb and would also ring a little bell
when they required food They would also
leap over little bars OF wood placed about two
inches above the surface of the water
IL Was a very simple matter TO teach the fish
these tricks AT tirst little tower containing
n tiny, sweet-toned silver bell was fastened to
the iron work of the aquarium with piece OF
string attached to :he tongue of the bell ex-
tending into the water where the trout were.
On the loose end of the string an insect OF other
tempting morsel was placed. which the fish
wouldat once seize, and pulling the cord the
bell IN the tower would naturally tinkle. After
this had been repeated for several DAYS the fish
were left without food for some little time until
they made the discovery that they could OBJ tain
IL by pulling at the string to which the delica-
cies had been attached. This they never failed
TO do ever afterward when they were hungry
and as that Was nearly all the time the little bell
was constantly linking, the fish were con-
nnually pulling the cord, and il was quite q
pretty and novel sight

Walking in Circles.

from the IoWnto truth
The fact that people lost on q desert or in a
forest invariably walk in a circle is due to a
slight inequality in the length OF the legs.
Careful measurements of a series of skeletons
have shown that only 10 per cent had the lower
limbs equal in length, IS per cent had the right
limb longer than the left, while in IS per cent
the left leg was the longer. The result of one
limb being longer than the other will naturally
be that a person will unconsciously take a
longer step with the longer limb. and conse-
quently will trend to the right or 10 the left
according as the left or right is the longer,
unless the tendency to deviation is corrected by
the eve.
The left leg being more frequently the longer,
as Evidenced BY measurement OF the skeleton
the inclination should take more frequently to
the right than to the left. and this conclusion
is quite borne out BY observations made on a
number of persons when walking blindfolded.
Further. ON measurement of the arms 1t is
found that in " per cent the right arm is longer
than the left. while in q per cent the left arm
Is the longer. showing that considerable ma
lori.y Of persons are right-handed and left
legged. The inequality IN the length OF the
limb is not confined to any particular sex or
race, but seems TO be Universal in all respects.

RAISED THE BOYCOTT.
Brotherhood Engineers Handle Ann Arl
Freight.

Brotherhood Engineers Handle Ann Arbor
Freight.
Chief Engineer Arthur of the Brother hood of
Locomotive Engineers. has raised the boycott
on the cars Of the Toledo, Ann Arbor and North
Michigan railroad and the brotherhood en-
gineers on the Lake Shore railroad are hauling
Ann Arbor cars. Previous to the raising of the
boycott seven engineers refused to take out
cars and were arrested and arralgned before
Judge Kicks Of the United States court charged
with violating an order Of that court, issued
week ago, directed to all the railway companies,
''their officers, agents and employees" restrain
ing them from refusing to handle Ann Arbor
freight
The court also granted injunctions against each
OF the engineers and firemen of the Wheeling
and Lake Erie road by name against refusing to
handle Ann Arbor freight. The order OF Chief
Engineer Arthur suspending the boycott will, of
course, prevent any further trouble with Ann
Arbor cars until March ~ at least, the date on
which Arthur and Sargent are cited to appear in
Judge Kicks court at the trial of the motion to
make the temporary order perpetual restrain
ing them from declaring a boycott on Ann
Arbor freight. Mr. Arthur is also ordered to
file with the court ''the law, by law or rule by
which said brotherhood requires its members
to refuse to handle cars Of the Ann Arbor
road"
Grand Master Sargent Of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Flremen, speaking OF the orders Of
court and the suit by the Ann Arbor Company
against him and Mr.. Arthur for $500, 900 dam
ages for ordering the strike, said:
81 realize that both the actions in Judge
Taft's and Judge Kicks courts are very import
ant ones and on their verdict depends much Of
interest to future laws OF railroad organizations.
Yesterday l received Q telegram that three
brotherhood tiremen have been discharged from
the Lake Shore for refusing to handle Ann Ar
Dor freight. shall expect the engineers to see
that these men get back their places, as they got
into the trouble through the engineers living
up to this boycott rule. which drew the firemen
into it. Chief Arthur is merely enforcing the
laws of his order as he finds them, which he is
obligated to do. Whether l can be sued for
damages for ordering strike on a railroad as
the head of the fremen's organization is one Of
the questions involved. and soon as l am
! summoned l shall appear to answer. The
question is one of the gravest that ever con-
tronted our organization"

CHOLERA IN EUROPE,

Drs. kemps.er and Irwin Investigating the
Plague for the Government.
Correspondence of the Mail and Express from Alex
dris. Egypt.
DR.. Walter Kempster and Dr. Fairfax Irwin
of the United States marine hospital service
arrived here today on the steamer Fuerst Bis
marck.
They were sent out by President Harrison
before the national quarantine bill was passed
to make a study o: the sanitary conditions of
ports of departure for vessels bound for the
United States and also to look into the methods
Of fumigation and disinfection used in order to
be able to cope with cholera if ii should break
out this coming summer.
They joined the Fuerst Bismarck at Genoa
for this place, thence they go to CONSTANT
nople. stopping at Jaffa and Smyrna They
have been in Hamburg. Bremen. Rotterdam
and other cities, where they have made careful
investigations.
They found cholera existing in many of the
German towns and are convinced that the rivers
are infested. but find that every precaution is
being taken TO crush the disease.
Especially is this so in Hamburg. where the
officials are constantly on the alert. The entire
water supply in Hamburg now comes from
wells and no water Is used unless the vessel that
holds i. bears an official stamp. Work on the
new water way is being pushed rapidly and il
is expected to be completed and in use by
April l.
Drs. kempster and Irwin have found Rot
terdam in the most precarious condition on
account of the surface drainage system in that
city. Alexandria, Constantinople and Palermo
are the greatest rag-shipping ports and the
doctors will study the method OF fumigation
to whether it is effective and whether clean
bills of health ard manifests from the officials
at these ports are reliable.
They consider the most effective method of
fumigation to be stesming at $50 degrees
Fahrenheit. but this method ruins fine clothes
and silks. They also found that the recen;
cases of cholera in Marseilles were started by
an importer who fell victim to the scourge.
Drs. kempster and Irwin will continue their
investigation in the Mediterranean ports unless
ordered otherwise from Washington.
