Migration of Canadians.

4 1.-THE migration of the French-speak-
ing people of Canada to the New Eng
land States has assumed enormous
proportions in recent years, and shows
no signs of diminution. The French.
population of the Province of Quebec
is 100000, while, according to the
census of 1890, the number of French
Canadians and of persons of Canadian
extraction in the United States was
$4,000. The late M. Mercier pre-
dicted that by 1910 there would be
more French Canadians by birth and
descent in the United States than in
Canada. Boston Herald.

Tt often takes a seasons profits at
Coney Island to pay the damages
caused by one storm, learns the San
Francisco Chronicle. Austin Corbin,
the founder of the great New York
watering place, said several years ago
that he would have been better off by
500, 900 if he had never seen the
island. Once he was compelled to
employ four or FIVE locomotives to haul
his big hotel out of the way of the surf,
though when the building was put up
it stood thousandfeet from the shore.
This week has seen arother thrush of
the waves, and there is danger that
Coney Island will be cut in twain. 1t
would be worth millions year to At
lantic coast watering places to have
sea like the Pacific, which permits
house building within fifty feet of aver
age high-wat mark.

The Wool and Cotton Reporter states
that of the 81 mills the Southern
States may lay claim to over so per
cent, as u will be operated south of
the Mason and Dixon line. OF the
remainder the Eastern States include
30, while the remaining half dozen are
scattered through various parts of the
middle West. Twenty-seven mills are
located in the Caroliuas, Is in North
and l2 in South Carolina, ranging in
size from the large Louise mill at
Charlotte, the centre of Southern tex
tile manufacturing, to minor plants,
representing comparatively small in
gestment. From this it may be seen
that the experiment entered upon dur
ing the last decade is proving a sue
cess, and that the North has now a
riyal in the field worthy Of serious at
tention. While it is probable that in
the manufacture of fine goods the
North has yet experienced little com
petition, still in the production of the
coarser grades a large share of patron
age has been transferred from the
North to the South.

One of the Board Of Inspectors re-
Gently called attention to the fact that
if the collegiate and scientific schools
of the Greater New York Should ANAL
gamate, it would produce the largest,
greatest and richest university in the
world. In this aggregation there
would be Columbia University, with
1900 students; New York University,
with 1900 students; the College of the
City of New York. with 1900; the Nor
NAL College, with 2O0O; Barnard, with
900; the Teachers, with 400; the Adel-
phi, of Brooklyn, 900; the Theological
Seminary, with 1919; Manhattan Col
lege, with $50; the Brooklyn Poly
technic, with 750; ST. Francis Xavier,
with 800; the Union Theological Sem
mary, with 100; st. Johns, at Ford
ham, with, 225; New York College OF
Pharmacy, New York College Of
Dentistry, New York Law School, the
various separate medical schools, such
as those of Bellevue Hospital, Long
Island College Hospital, the Woman's
Infirmary, the Woman's Hospital, the
POSTGRADUATE, the Polytechnic, the
Homeopathic, the Eclectic, the two
colleges of veterinary surgery, the
four great art schools, the leading con.
servatories of music, and the leading
business colleges Of this city. These
united would make a huge body of
about $4,000 students, with property
worth $50, 100000 and an income of
$1,000, 900 year, Alongside of this
Oxford and Cambridge, Goettingen
and Heidelberg, Berlin and Leipzig,
Munich and Zurich would be small in

Artists in Danger.

Artists are proverbially lacking in
what people of coarser clay call horse
sense, Seldom does it occur to these
highly gifted persons to guard the
scaffold on which they stand with q
hand rail. Many times have artists
fallen in consequence, and frequently
they have lost their lives in this man
ner. Lord Leighton, who died a year
or so ago, it has been stated recently,
was saved from such a fate only by the
vigilance of his assistant. He almost
stepped backward off the trestle work
in front of one of his frescoes at South
Kensington Museum.
Murillo was less fortunate, for he
died from the effects of his fall. Among
other painters who came to an untime-
ly end in this way were Munoz, Perez,
Gabbiana, Gambara, Coxcie, Bozzone,
Cavedone and Stothard. Michael An
gelo escaped with broken leg, and
Frederigo Zucchero after frightful
fall recovered sin surprisingly short
time. New York Press.

Statistics show that the medical
profession is more prone to suicide
than any other. During the last three
years the number of suicides occurring
among physicians has been respective
ly forty-fve, forty-nine and forty-seven
per annum, an average of nearly one
to 5000; or, as the death rate among
physicians is about twenty-five to 1000,
nearly one-fiftieth O. all the deaths in
the profession have been by suicide.
Ii has been suggested that an ex-
planation of this tendency may be
found in the development of morbid
fancies in the mind of a doctor on ac-
count of his constant association with
the sick and dying, or of an actual in
difference to death, or because he has
the requisite knowledge of how to die
painlessly and conveniently. A medi-.
cal journal dissents from all these
views, and holds that the leading fac
tor is the accessibility of the poison
Gus drugs, which are almost invariably
used. Pittsburg Dispatch.

DR.. p. Penta has studied the fingers
and toes of 1900 criminals, and finds
deficiency in the size of number OF
toes quite frequent among them. al
though very rare among ordinary men.
He has also observed that prehensile
toes, marked by a wide space between
the great toe and the second toe, is a
condition quite common among Grim
inals, also webbed condition of the
toes, an approximation to the toeless
feet of some savages.

The New York Tribune says; The
foreign trade of the United States was
greater in 1896 than in 1895 The
foreign trade of New York was less in
1896 than in 1895. In 1895 New York
had considerably moro than half the
foreign trade of the Nation, and in
1896 it had considerably less than
half. Those are facts of serious i'm
port, which New Workers will do well
to take to heart.
