700 male and 1s,60n female immigrants
from Ireland, and from Bohemia the
number ~ male and female immigrants
was almost identical. 1.262 of the for
mer an 1864 of the latter.
The longdisputed question among
immigrant officials as to the designa-
ton to be given to Polish Hebrew immi-
grants. whether they should be de-
scribed as Polish or under the head of
German, Russian or Austrian immi-
grants, as the case might be, has been
settled by the adoption of a generic
term for all such immigrants. the word
Hebrew. There were 21 900 male and
10000 female Hebrew immigrants last
year. From Russian Poland there were
in add :,an 1s COO male and 10000 fe-
male immigrants. while from Italy,
now the CHER contributing country to
the flow of immigration into the United
States, there were $4,000 male and 49,
600 female immigrants. Italian immi-
grafton is very largely responsible for
the disparity of the sexes in the matter
of immigration. Twice as many male
Syrians as female Syrians came over
last year and five times as many male
Slavonians. There were 2,20O male
Greeks and only 1872 female, but the rec
ord of all other countries is distanced
by China, 1927 male immigrants and II
female immigrants only.
Cuban immigration to the United
States last year was 400. including 100
male and 300 female immigrants. From
Hawaii there were more women than
male immigrants, though the number
of either was not large, and from Japan
there came 3,175 male immigrants and
275 female.-N. Y. Sun.

hatch out their eggs. The fact that
many nests of eggs have been found
without any mother snake around is
said to prove only that the snake is more
careful of her own person than she is of
her eggs, and that she promptly deserts
them when she hears an intruder COM
ing.
It is rare for snakes to lay eggs while
they are in captivity, and rarer still for
them to make any attempt to hatch
them. Another python in the same
town twice laid eggs, but refused to
attend to them afterward. Attempts
were made to hatch the eggs artificial
ly, but the experiment was failure.
As this python is attending to her ma
ternal duties, the officials of the gar
dens are hoping for many young
pythonS.

SEX IN IMMIGRATION
More Men Than Women Come to
This Country.
Some lntsrsstiAg Facts aAd Figures
About the Arrivals from Di1-
forSat Lands-The Tide
InOF0asiAg.

From 1919, the year Of the passage
by congress of the law for the registra-
ton OF immigrants arriving in the
United States, until the present time,
there have been 1s,a00,000 immigrants
registered In the various ports OF the
country, and of these, taking the aver
age through the whole course ofyears,
60 per cent. were men and 40 per cent.
women, disparity representing a total
difference of nearly 100000.
1t has been frequently pointed out
as matter of interest and Importance
that the proportion of male immigrants
is higher where such immigration is
least desirable, particularly in the
case of Chinese and Sicilians, while it
is lowest among the Germans and Irish.
The reasons assigned for this disparity
have been many. Among them have
been the perils and inconveniences of
a residence on the frontier before the
complete settlement of the country, emf
grafton from continental countries to
escape conscription in European arm
les, the danger and discomforts of ocean
travel before the establishment of fast
and commodious steamers, and the nat
ural reluctance of women to seek homes
in new lands. 1t has popularly been
supposed, however, that as these reasons
for the excess of male immigration
either disappeared or were diminished,
the totals of the two sexes would be
more nearly even, conclusion which
the tables just published by the immi-
grafton bureau in Washington for the
year ending March /, 1899, completely
overthrow.
During the year the actual number of
immigrants coming into the United
States was 100000, an increase of $4,000
compared with a year ago. According
to the ordinary division between male
and female immigrants there should
have been $4,000 of the former and 1884,
900 of the latter. Instead of this there
were 1927 male immigrants, or more
than 60 per cent, and III, ,43S female i'm
migrants, less than 40 per cent. From
England there were G, 6,70O male and 1000
female immigrants, about the average
ratio; from Germany, 14,70O male and
II, 800 female immigrants, less than the
average number; from Scandinavia
there were IL, TAT male and II, ,502 female
immigrants, and from Finland, q coun-
try from which there has been recently
extensives emigration to, the United
States in consequence of the serious con-
fiict between the Russian government
and the Firms, 5000 male and 2,10o fe-

and Bohemia. There were last year 49,

PEACHES AND BLUBBER.
Both Were Easily Obtainable in the
Land Which the Professor Knew
Nothing About.

Canadians are very touchy on the
subject of climate, as Rudyafd Kipling
discovered when he somewhatthought-
lessly dubbed the dominion Our Lady of
the Shows. When Arthur Stringer, the
young Canadian poet and author, first
went to Oxford, he carried with him
letters from Prof. Goodwin Smith, Of
Toronto. to Prof. York Powell, the dis
tinguished historian of Christ Church,
says the Philadelphia Post.
The old Oxford don, like one or two
other Englishmen, had very vague
ideas about Canada. and somewhat sur
prised the young stranger by inquiring
it be got along nicely on English roast
mutton after living so long on frozen
seal meat. The young poet gravely pro-
tested that he perhaps missed his whale
blubber a little, but the next day ca bled
home, and in less than week the finest
basket of autumn peaches ever grown
in Ontario, carefully packed in saw
dust. was on its way to Oxford.
short time afterward the young au-
thor was again dining. with the regius
professor at Oxford, and that gentle
man produced at the meal fruit dish
loaded with tremendous peaches.
Z Most extraordinary" said the old
professor. but these peaches were
sent to me to-day. and I'm blest if |
know who sent them. From the south
of France, l suspect, so saved few
of them for you, Stringer-they will
be such a novelty, you know!"
The Canadian very quietly took
steamship company's bill of lading
from his pocket and handed it to the
professor. The professor gazed a, the
bill, and then at the fruit, then at the
poet.
Il had some whale blubber, too, pro-
fessor," said that young man. "but !
simply had to eat that. These other
things were grown on my uncle's farm
near Kent county, Ont, you know. He
has 200 bushels of them every year, and
he sent me over a basket of little ones,
along with the whale blubber"

PICKPOCKETS' GAINS.
According to This Account 1t Is q
Fairly Remunerative Calling
in the Aggregate.

The amount of money which pick
pockets take in annually is probably
greater than that of any other special
ISIS in crime. It would be idle to say
how large it is, but it is a well-known
fact that thousands of dollars are stolen
by them at big public gatherings to
which they have access. It was report
ed, for instance, that at the recent con-
federate soldiers reunion in the south
$4,000 was stolen by pickpockets and
almost every day in the year one reads
in the newspapers of a big "tcuch''
reaching into the thousands. I think
it is q conservative staement to say
that in lifetime the expert pickpoc]1et
steals $4,000. Multiply this figure by
1900, which have given as the number
Of frst-class grafters in the country.
and the result reaches high up into
the millions. Like other professional
thieves, the pickpocket throws away
his money like water and very seldom
thinks of saving for old age, but prac-

rapidity with which they recoup them
selves financially after a period of rest
