Hard Times Do Not Seem to Stop
the Stream of Foreigners.

The annual report of the Commits
sioner General of Immigration, just
made public, shows that total arrivals
during the fiscal year aggregated
343, 1867, an increase of 81 70S over the
preceding year. OF this total $40, 46S

and deported at the expense
Of the various steamship lines
by which they came TO this country.
OF those deport IT'S were under con-
tract to perform labor in the United
States, made prior to their arrival,
and 2,024 were returned as belonging
to the classes of aliens prohibited ad-
mittance by the act of March l,

A SHOWER IN THE VILLAGE,
This Word Picture Somehow Awakens
Pleasant Memories.

This Word Picture Somehow Awakens
Pleasant Memories.
Over the whole village that stiffness
reigns which only Sunday in summer
can produce. 1t is nearing the noon
hour, and there is a glare Of sunlight
everywhere.
The quiet of the streets seems to be
intensified as one approaches the corner
where the small stone church stands
alone. There is a service going on in.
side, and the rolling music of the organ
family waited from within reaches the
deserted streets outside. Rows of houses
with closed blinds and unoccupied door
steps meet the eye on every side, and
down narrow lane near at hand a
freshly painted barn CLEANS holly in the
fierce sunshine. Three or four pigeons
have fluttered to the roof and are sun
ming themselves and softly cooling.
Near the door of the church a horse
and buggy stand, and now and again
the animal, bothered by flies stamps
and splashes in the shallow puddle I'M
der him.
A dog trots lazily up the street and
stops on his way to chase and bark at a
few belated sparrows. One of the pigeons
stalks with dignity across the roof, and
another hutters into the air with a
whirring sound and disappears.
The sound of the organ has died quite
away and only the distant clucking of a
disturbed hen breaks the quiet. The sun
light seems to have taken ON darker
shade.
A sharp gust Of wind sweeps up and
down the street and ruShes through the
foliage of the sleeping trees. The spar
rows that occupied the street are not in
sight. No living thing is to be seen, and
the newly painted barn, that moment
ago looked scorched and blistered, seems
to have taken on a cooler tinge. The
breeze has died quite away, and there
is moment of supreme stiffness.
Then dull, sullen sound that seems
like the roar Of distant train steals
upon the air. 1t comes again, and there
is no mistakirg tit is thunder. A
Hurried hen runs across the lane and
disappears behind a board just as three
large drops mark the dust covered side.
walk. Drops are falling everywhere,
and as they increase in number they de-
crease in sizef There is gentle patter
on the sidewalk, on the house tops,
through the trees, which becomes more
and more hurried until it generates into
steady rush of falling rain. The land
scape is almost shut out from sight.
Slowly and by hardly peroeptible de-
grees the steady rush becomes patter,
and the sun, with sudden brilliance,
changes each drop to glistening dia-
mond.
The rain ceases, and the sparkling
trees gently shake themselves in the
sunlight.
The shower is over. Walter M. Egg
