Perhaps the immigration question may
be settled partially through the aid OF
italy, from which country so many I'M
desirable new citizens are being annually
shipped. 1t has been explained to the Itai-
Ian government that the United States
proposes TO continue to send back all the
poor and improvident people who have
been induced to leave Italy through the
sdvices OF steamship and immigration
agents. and that II Is worse than useless
for these new home-seekers to waste their
small earnings IN paying for the sea pass
age when they viii not be allowed to land
The Italian government seems to have
shown a willingness 20 cooperate in this
movement, which is certain to prove a
benefit TO the United States, as well as to
those who are certain to be classed under
thu head OF undesirable immigrants.

FIR TREE ON A CHURCH.

Every builder in this city knows that
when the timbers of new structure
have been completed the carpenters
tack up fir tree to notify the owner
that unless a keg of beer is forthcom
ing they will loaf in doing the rest Of
the work. The custom Is observed so
strictly by carpenters that sometimes
it causes trouble, especially if the
owner happens to be prohibitionist
That is just what happened in the
town of Nyack recently and the good
people of the place have not yet got
over the shock to their moral teach
ings which resulted from a strict adj
herence to the rule. The custom is
called topping the building" All
Nyack was shocked-all religious Ny
ack. that is-when it woke up one
morning not long ago and saw fine
evergreen nailed to the apex Of the
roof timbers Of the new church build
ing there.
The building of the church was under
the personal direction of the clergyman
OI the pdTlSH. IHe tNtIBIGtu w do a
notice to him that he must furnish
the customary key of beer. Would the
clergyman do it? Would the carpen-
tiers get their beer? Those were the
questions that everyone was asking.
Finally the clergyman noticed that tn
work on the church was not progress
ing as it should. He spoke to the con-
tractor. That individual pointed to
the fir tree on the roof and said that
nothing could be done until the carpen-
ters got their beer. At last the min
lister gave in. He produced So and
gave it to the men to buy what they
wished with il. They promptly bought
beer and brought it to the church,
where they drank it. After that work
on the church progressed rapidly until
1t was completed - New York Sun.

How well we loved each other
When every wave WAS whispering
Sweet words fer You and me:
The grave voice of experience
Had murmured all IN vain,
That either vow would fade as quick
AS tire sun-fush on the main.
When yer did Age OF folly Youth cor

Since, We have learned that sunshine
Was but AN April CLEAN,
And the faith Of Loves old story
AS transient as a dream.
Our hopes We're built on rocks.
That might have stood triumphant
Gainst fate's persistent shocks,
Had not md then At Memory taun
vince,
Since!
