Undesirable Immigrants.

els the bulk of our immigration
made ND of desirable or undesirable
,elements?" This is a question con-
stantly growing in Importance, and to
which more and more the attention of
legislators and publicists is being di-
rected. Every one admits, says the
Youths Companion, that many thou
sands of desirable citizens reach our
shores every year; no one denies that
thousands of hopelessly ignorant and
degraded people co me also. But to
get anything like an accurate esti-
mate of the proportion of the two
classes is almost impossible. Some
stats tics drawn from the last census
are of significance. In round numbers
three persons of every eight in the
population are either for eign-born or
born of foreign parentage. But more
than one-half of the convicts in peni-
tentiaries, and six out of every ten of
the paupers in almshouses, and six of
every ten juvenile offenders, are of
foreign parentage or foreign born.
Translated, these facts mean that
the foreign element contributes
an excessive proportion of the Grim
inals and dependents who are a
curse and a burden on our society.
Such facts as these speak for them
selves Our prisons and pOorhouSeS do
not need large population.

The Football Abomination.

Great is football! But the season
over, and what is to become of those
stuffed, quilted young men with am
brosial locks tumbling across their
intellectual brows? Really, says a
Boston contemporary, there is nothing
picturesque in this football get-up.
Youths looking like ragged sausages
may be tolerated by their kith and kin,
but to outsiders they are not lovely to
behold Should Paderewski don one of
these padded coats Of mail, with pair
of quilted knickerbockers, his chrys-
anthemum locks would be now ell the
fashion, though as a well-dressed
pianist he failed to make them SO,
though women adore him! The ext
gencies of game, however, have
made frouzly hair popular, and it
would not be bit surprising if men
who couldn't kick a football to save
their lives took on this shocking hair
cut. New York says it has already
been adopted by dudes who have any
hair to grow, and that bald-headed
clubmen are in imminent danger of
taking to wigs.

The Hardworking Sultan.

This ruler is currently imagined to al
low his ministers to do all his work,
while he himself lives life of luxurious
Incidence. The very reverse is the rule.
The one man in all the Turkish domin-
ions who works morning, noon and
night, whose mind never rests from ef-
fort to carry his people through the diff
fcrlties which beset bad system and
lack of means. is the monarch. The min
listers work little, the sultan necessarily,
Not only is this well known, but an init
mate of mine is an aid-de-campin in daily
attendance upon his majesty, and my
ideas CLEANED from him have given me u
hearty respect for the personality of the
present bearer of the crescent.
Since his accession he has scarcely left
his palace. Here he labors with honest
fidelity to effect the impossible, for the
bad Turkish customs are like the laws Of
the Medes and Persians. The system is
as rotten as the people are hard to teach
Moreover, the sultan is the simplest and
most plainly dressed man in his domin-
ions. The unpretentious courtesy of his
personal bearing, his apparent lack of
egotism, his rather pale, nervous, IA
tigued looking face, are dignity itself
have never seen a more patriarchal
ceremony or one of higher tone than the
quiet procession of Selamlik. .-Harper's

A queer story, and one which readers

swallowing, comes with first class rec

member Of the Chaplin family died at
Blankney, Lincolnshire, and was laid in
the family tomb, This particular Chap
lin was naturalist, and among his
other pets had u large gray bat. That
bat was permitted to enter the tomb and
was sealed mp alive along with the corpse
of his dead master. In 1866 the vault
was opened, and to the surprise of all
the bat was alive and fat On four diff
ferent occasions since the Chaplins have
looked after the welfare of their dead
relatives pet, and each time it has been
reported that the bat was still in the
land Of the living, although occupying
quarters with the dead. He was last
seen in lS02.--St. Louis Republic.
