Immigrants and New York.

Ernest Ingersoll writes for st. Nicho-
las paper on the Greater New York
entitled Reasoning Out Metropolis "
Mr.. Ingersoll says:
The merchants of New York sent to
the continent of Europe more ships than
the merchants of other cities, who trad
ed mainly with Great Britain, so that
this city was better known throughout
Europe, and her vessels We're the handi-
est for emigrants from France, Ger
many and Holland. Agents of the New
York merchants and of the government,
who We're seeking and encouraging i'm
migration, could show that this port
was the most advantageous landing
place for man who was going on west,
and the sea captains explained that it
was the safest and quickest port to
make because the course lay south of
the stormy, foggy region north of Cape
Cod, and the city was much closer to
the open sea than either Philadelphia
or Baltimore. AT any rate immigration
increased in favor of New York as time
went on, and the stream of incoming
people swelled until in the decade from
1884 to 1894 it amounted to about $780,
600 immigrants year, 500, 666 arriv-
ing i'll 1890 alone, not counting those
from Canada and Mexico.

SensitiZin1 PaDer.

There are two ways of sensitizing pa
per. One is to apply the solution with q
brush, and the other is to float the salt
ed paper ON the surface of the liquid
Thin papers like Rives Photographic
paper take the solution quickly and do
not require SO many applications of the
solution if it is applied with brush,
or so long soaking if floated Oh the
liquid as do the heavy, rough papers
like Whitman drawing paper or cray
on paper.
The paper is first sailed, and it is
better to have this done by the dealer
in Photographic goods, as it is much
easier to apply the sensitive solution
than it is to salt the paper. If photo
graphic paper is used, ask for fresh salt
ed paper, but if drawing paper is used
take it to the dealer and have it sailed.
The expense is very trifiing, sheet of
sailed paper costing only cent or two
more than the plain paper.
The sensitizing solution is made of
$40 grains of nitrate of silver and
ounces of distilled or filtered water
Dissolve the nitrate of silver crystals in
the water, and then add strong liquid
ammonia drop by drop, stirring the So
luton constantly until the brown pre-
cipitate which is formed by the addi-
ton of the ammonia has disappeared
and the liquid is clear. Not more than
rs drops of ammonia should be added
to the solution, and if it does not clear
when this amount has been added clear
the solution by filtering. - Harper S

Indian Antipathy to Fish.

At a meeting i'll Baltimore of the
American Folklore society DR.. Wash
ington Matthews of Washington read
paper ON "Icthyophobia, which he de-
scribed as all antipathy to fish. This
aversion is especially strong in the Ma
vajo, Apache and other Indian tribes of
the far southwest, who will not eat
fish or have anything to do with articles
made i'll the shape of fish. This y boo"
with the Navajos extends to all things
connected with water. A probable rea-
son why no more children of these
tribes are sent east to be educated, DR..
Matthews thought, was a fear that they
might be required to overcome this cher
lshed taboo" superstition, which is as
firmly rooted as any religion.
A legend to account for this fish eta
boo was given. There was a time
when food was scarce, and the mountain
Indians had big powwow with the
river Indians The result was that the
river Indians agreed to kill no deer, but
live entirely on fish, and the mountain
Indians agreed to eat no fish, but live
entirely upon deer. This made food
plenty for both.
In the discussion of the paper it was
stated that the Zuni Indians will not
eat fish because savage tribes in desert
lands regard water as sacred because of
its scarcity, and this reverence extends
to animal life i'll water. Several men,
bers thought perhaps this idea conveyed
the true reason for the fish taboo

He Tricked the Topers.

In the last century nearly every gen
tleman was put to bed drunk He had
either to drink as others drank or fight
a duel. Sir Aubrey de We're, when he
was Is years of age, after a days hunt
avoided intoxication at dinner by watch
ing until the Others were tipsy and after
that pouring each new glass of wine
down his neckcloth, then worn so large
that the chin was beried in it. When
the last of the topers lay under the Ia
BILE, he rushed to his bedroom, took a
bath, dressed anew and joined the ladies
at their IL O'Clock tea. The next morn
ing at breakfast all the gentlemen rose
when he entered and received him as if
he had been prince. They had heard
that he had been unaffected by the wine
and considered that so strong a head
was entitled to the highest honors. San

Negroes With Red Hair.

"A man sees lots of funny things
while travelling around the country, but
the most peculiar sight l ever say was
in Omaha the last time / was there, "
said Charles Killinger of Cincinnati.
while walking along the street there
one day saw two negroes with hair as
red as any red hair you ever saw. 1t
was as kinky as the negro wool usually
is. 1t was funny sight, and stopped
to look at them as they went down the
street. A friend of mine who resides
there told me those negroes had come
from the south some years ago and as
far as he knew were full blooded darkies.
Six fingered people are not uncommon,
but for freaks those darkies took the
cake "-Denver Republican.

The Repartee.

Even DR.. johnson was won over by
Wilkes delightful manners until they
were found by Boswell "reclined upon
their chairs, with their heads leaning
almost close to each other and talking
earnestly in kind of confidential wbis-
per of the personal quarrel between
George II and the king of Prussia. 1t
presented TO my mind the happy days
which are foretold in Scripture. when
the lion shall lie down with the kid"
According to Boswell, when Wilkes
and l sat together each glass of wine
produced a flash of wit, like gunpowder
thrown into the tire-puff, puff" But
Wilkes hardly confirmed this, for he
thought the famous Life" the work
"of an entertaining mailman, in which
"much was put down to Boswell which
was undoubtedly said by Johnson
what the latter did, and the former
could not say" We can well imagine
that an encounter with Boswell would
have many charms for Wilkes.
No man ever lived who could adapt
his wit better to his company. Compare
his chaff of the alderman, formerly a
bricklayer, who was trying to carve a
turbot with knife-"Use trowei,
brother, use trowel' with his reply
to Nine. de Pompadour when she asked
him, "How far is it safe to go in
England against the royal family?'-
THAT is what am trying to find out,
madame " There are few more really
witty replies recorded than that made
to the prince regent, who asked him at
dinner when he drank to the kings
health, How long have you been so
loyal, Wilkes?" Ever since / knew
your royal highness. ''-Cornhill Maya

The Glove Habit.

The wearing of gloves is more an.
Gent custom than it is generally thought
to be, Homer speaks of gloves and tells
of one who wore them to protect his
hands while working in his garden.
The use of some coverings for the hands
was known to the ancient Persians, and
Old Testament writer's also mention
them. They were in such common use
among the Romans that they were worn
even i'll the wild country by the Britons.
ST. Anne, the mother of the Virgin
Mary, was, it has been said, knitter
and manufactured gloves, for which
reason the glovemakers of France long
ago made her their patron saint. At one
time gloves had certain meaning at
tached to them and were chosen to show
the character or occupation of the wear
er. There are records of gloves being Or
dered for grave and spiritual men. !"
About this time, the sixteenth century,
gloves made of chicken skin were used
by both men and women for whitening
the hands and were worn at night,

MINORS EAGER TO ENLIST.
cruit Ohicers Receive Many AppIi.
cations From Youngsters.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

FROM the Chicago Chronicle.
One of the features of the general up
rising Of the Americans in the present
war crisis is the continual application
for enlistment of youths who are under
age. Boys OF from Is to II are numer-
Gus and eager. They ask few questions
concerning the term of service. pay or
allowances: they want to go to the
front and fight. In most cases they are
seemingly fully mature enough 10 with
stand any hardships and privations
which service in the field may entail
and are greatly chagrined to learn that
they are infants under the law.
One incident of this kin ccurred at
the rendezvous at 90 Dearborn street
Tuesday, which involves a singular
question of law. The recruiting officer
was waiting for applications when a
b~oyish-looking young fellow entered
and asked for Information concerning
the conditions. etc. He was informed
and said he wanted to 90. He Is of Ca
madam birth and has lived in this coun-
try nearly three years. He Is ~ years
old. His name. address and occupation
were taken and he was told tn report
later for the purpose of additional ex-
animation.
He is too young to take out papers Of
citizenship. but has neither parent ror
guardian in this country. His father
Y III lit aiiu "a fltN'l atl'1tiEft-
ed to control his sons actions since he
left home. He was surprised on being
old hat the consent OF parents OF quar-
dams must be furnished before min1rs
could enter even the volunteer service.
He remarked hat he was his own
man and saw no reason why he hould
he barred II he had the nerve 10 take
up arms. He was a likely young man
and a most desirable recruit. His case
kept the officers guessing for a time.
He vas by no means the only minor
who has applied during the week al n
or another OF the stations. In fact.
many a youth has appeared at each Of
the offices and asked to be enrolled. So
far in all cases he has been required to
procure the written consent Of those in
authority over him before his name is
entered on any company roster. The
officers feel that there will be r.en
OF lawful age enough TO I'LL their sew
eral compliments without enlissing
minors. Still. no desire and no purpose
TO dampen youthful srdor has heen
manifested. such applicants will be re-
ceived upon their compliance with the
letter OF the law.
