part of the civilized world, are more
likely to lay themselves out on intri-
cacy of design and luxury of inyen-
ton, rather than on simple prettlness
such as are preferred for private Wo-
men who move but little in society
A new coiffure is to be introduced
with the summer by certain elegantes,
impatient for a change now that the
pompadour has lost it's excluslveness
and the high, tossed, uncurled drapery
of the side part is not becoming to
any but the most piquant OF beauties.
The low coil at the nape, its principal
characteristic, will be especially be-
coming and suitable with the choker-
less summer frocks SO many are pledg-
ing themselves to, and the arrange
ment Of the front hair to accompany
it is so closely modelled after the
manner in which Bartet wore her hair
as Diana de Lys, in Paris, this spring
as closely, that is, as modern taste
will allow, just as modern taste has
modified Diana's gathered skirt and
bell sleeves The front hair is parted
in the center and brushed smoothly
for a little way, not in the straight
line of the Madonna part, but with a
fiat, light loop on each side, low over
the forehead. The hair is brushed
back at the temples and curled into a
fluffy heap, Stimulating the short side
curls that were punched over Diana's
ears in the sixties. The whole effect
is very fat and broad, like the new
hat lines, and looks even more so after
the pompadours and topmost coil
we have favored so long.

THE COMMUTER.

Pas been commutin's now three years
'Twixt our place and the city,
And, say, the way he misses trains
Is just shameful pity!
Ma nags him up to start in time,
But just as sure as gunnin'
He never gets half way but what
He has to start a-runnin'.
When he began, he started in
To take the seven twenty,
And, though each day he'd go for it
He'd say he'd time a-plenty;
Yet fore he'd get half way he'd hear
The locomotive tootin',
An just as she was startin' out
Pad come in callyhootin'.
He vowed then that the eight nine
teen
Would do him, and he tried it,
But all the same each time he had
To like a Splinter stride it,
And ma said t'other day, before
She went to town to visit,
That if he'd start the day before
To catch train he'd miss it.

When an American woman's hus-
band is elected she gets some news
paper comment simply because she is
the wife of the husband, and then she
is forgotten.
The men of America are not society
men, They lead too strenuous a life.
They are too much concerned in their
business and in their outdoor life.
We say great deal against the
German housefrau. but we do not I'M

The bill which has passed the Ger

ing food dear to the laborer. The
American protectionist must not COM
plain. He should take his medicine
like a little man.

migrants live mainly along the Can
adam frontier, and the Mexicans
mainly along the southern boundary.
Thus in 1890 the Canadians were in a
plurality among the foreign born in
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Michigan, Montana, and Washington
The Mexicans, on the contrary, were
in plurality in New Mexico and Ari-
IONA. The Germans, however, have
spread all over the United States, and
were in plurality among the foreign
born in twenty-six states and terri
tories.
To the several foreign-born ele-
ments of our population it is a matter
of pride and interest to know the
number Of persons of their nationality
in the United States, and their gem
eral economic condition. In 1890
there were more than 100000 resi-
dents in the United States who were
born in foreign countries. Of this
number about 80 per cent were born
in Germany, 20 per cent. in Ireland,
and about 10 per cent. in Canada and
! Newfoundland. From 1921 to 1880
| the United Kingdom contributed So
per cent. of the total immigration to
the United States, and Germany 35
per cent. In the decade 1881 to 1890
the immigrants from the United King
dom constituted only % per cent.
of the total immigration, the proper
ton from Germany being slightly
less. In the ten years 1861 to 1870
the combined immigration from Aus
tria, Hungary, Russia, Poland, and
Italy constituted only / per cent. of
the total immigration. In the decade
1881 to 1890 this proportion rose to II
per cent, and in the nine years 1891
1899 to more than GA per cent.
We of the United States are all inn
migrants or the descendants of i'm
migrants. A proper pride on the part
of recent immigrants in the land of
!! their birth, and reasonable desire to
secure that recognition which is due
to their numbers and Importance,
should lead all persons of foreign
birth to welcome the census enumera-
tor and to answer his questions will
ingly and accurately.

HE STUDIED THE OWL.

Some of your readers might like to
know of a new way to study owls.
Some friends went out shooting a day
or two ago. One shot at and wounded
the wing of a big Virginia horned owl
He was advised to kill the bird, but
would not do so. He was going to
study the bird alive, so he put the big
bird down behind him in the blind.
Soon duck came flying along, and he
stopped so low in shooting that he sat
on the owl. The owl, not liking this
way of being studied, fastened it's claws
into his back and refused all attempts
to make it let go, and the more they
tried to get him off the harder ne
pinched, and from the bowling of the
man it would appear as if the owl was
studying the man instead of the man
studying the owl. The bird had to be
killed before he would let go, and al
though it may be some time before this
man can sit down, he knows more
about owls than he did-F'orest and
Stream.

AS THE SUN WENT DOWN.

Two soldiers lay on the battlefield
At night when the sun went down;
One held lock Of thin gray hair
And one held a lock of brown.
One thought of his sweetheart back
at home,
Happy and young and gay,
And one of his mother left alone,
Feeble and old and gray.
Each in the thought that a woman
cared,
Murmured prayer to God,
Lifting his gaze to the blue above,
There on the battle sod.
Each in the JOY of a woman's love
Smiled through the pain of death,
Murmured the sound of a woman's
name,
Though with his parting breath.
Pale grew the dying lips Of each,
Then, as the sun went down,
One kissed lock of thin gray hair.
And one kissed lock of brown.

TALL "BIKE" STORY.

recounts how wheelman was rid

why he was riding without a light.

the cyclist framed his excuse. "See

MRS. HENRoTIN's PLAIN TALK

Mrs. Charles Henrotin discussed
"What is society?" before the Chicago
chapter, Council of Jewish Women.
The present organization of society
she attributed to the fact that Ameri-
ca has no recognized social authority.
She said:
In any other country a presidents
wife would be a parsonage; in Ameri-
ca she is just an accident
In America woman makes her
husbands society; in any other coun-
try man makes his wife's.
American women do not concern
themselve swith their husbands bust
ness affairs unless something goes
wrong; then they have to explain.
An American society woman might
care personally if the wife of the pres
ident should criticise her, but no one
else would.
So long as an American mans
| business and his home get along all
right he does not care for the rest OF
the world.
Women have formed a world OF
their own and o not find their interest
in their husbands affairs.

WHAT IT'S ALL FOR.
Foreign-Born Population as Seer
Through the Census.

Few questions asked by the census
office are of more Importance than
those regarding the place of birth of
the individual and his parents. There
is no great country which has re-
ceived so many immigrants and lost
SO few emigrants as the United
States. 1t is doubtful whether more
than 100000 Americans by birth are
living outside of the United States,
while the number of persons of
foreign birth living in the United
States is probably ten million.
In the coming census the enumera-
tors will endeavor to ascertain where
person, were born; and, if the person
was not born in the United States, in
what year he came to this country,
the number of years he has been here,
whether he has been naturalized or
not, and if not, whether he has taken
out naturalization papers.
The tables made from the answers
to the inquiries respecting birth place
show the number and distribution of
the foreign-born residents of the
United States, the number of them
born in each of the great countries,
the amount of intermarriage between
these foreigners and the natives, the
proportion of the foreigners who settle
in the cities and those who seek the
,, country, their ability to read and to
| speak English, and the law-abiding
character of the population. 1t is
sometimes said, for instance, that
| crime is especially common among the
! foreign population. But this state
ment can not be supported by the
| census figures. Few crimes are com
mitted by persons under fifteen years
of age, and vast numbers of the ma
tives are under that age and there
| fore can not commit crime. Wher
comparison is made between the ma
tive prisoners and the natives over
fifteen years of age, and the foreign
prisoners and the foreign population
over fifteen years of age, one finds
that the proportion of persons II
prison is about so per cent greater
among the natives than among the
| foreign-born population.
Another point brought out clearly
by the census figures is that immi
grants move but comparativel.

TIDAL WAVE IN A RIVER.
Traveller in China Describes the Great
Bore of Hang-chau.

On one of many visits to China,
Eliza Ruhaimah Scidmore, author of
Java, the Garden Of the East, etc.,
made visit to the mouth CT the
Tsien-tang river to observe the great
bore of Hong chau-the tidal wave
that sweeps into that stream three
times year. In the Century she thus
describes the impressive phenomenon
as it appeared at night:
The moon was riding at the very
zenith, and it dizzied us to look up to
it. Each one stood evenly within
the circle Of his own clear-cut shadow
on the ground, at that moment of the
moons transit, and the bore Was due;
but it was calm night, and it was
three-quarters of an hour efter our
unaccustomed ears had caught the
first far-distant, muttering undertone
before the White Thing was seen, a
CHASTITY line advancing as evenly over
the water, and as quickly, as the dark
shadow of an eclipse sweeps over a
landscape. Nearer and nearer it
roared, growing greater and whittier,
until we could see the whole cascad-
ing, bubbling, frothing front, with
spray-drops showering from the crest
higher up in moonlight. With the
roar of awful waters the dread thing
came on, raising it's white crest
higher and higher as it licked the
edges of the piles beyond which the
junks lay. There were shouts and
yells, and the usual boatmen's pan
demonium let loose on the junks as
the roaring wave approached. A
| rocket sized, some fire-crackers sput-
tered and gongs resounded, but all
small sounds of earth's creatures we're
| drowned as the fearful White Thing
crashed past, and a frightful kissing, a
seething, lashing, and swirling of still
higher pillows succeeded,-the most
sinister sound of water ever heard
all speeding, rushing, whirling madly,
irresistibly on.
AS the ten-foot wall OF foam reached
the edge of the piling and the junk
platform, it floated the junks loose at
the instant. Each junk rode to the
hoods fury bow on, and continued to
rise, to life itself. bodily up, up, along
the sea-wall before ones fascinated
gaze. In the fierce after-rush the
water went swifter and more swiftly
by, until one had dizzying sense of
danger to come, but past fleeing from.
Something held one fascinated to the
spot, although in the fewest minutes,
barely quarter of an hour, two
thirds of the whole body and mass Of
the food-tide had flung itself against
the wall, and, it seemed, might con-
tinue to rise with the same force for
hours. A SALT fresh smell of the sea,
the breath of the oceans coolest,
deepest underworld, came in with
the awful tide. A CHASTITY mist sue
ceeded. Shreds of vapor scudded over
the triumphant moon, and the seas
curtain fell on one of the most SEN
sational, spectacular performances
the Pacific ocean and the moon ever
make together.

The Su1tan's Monogram,


Possibly you have seen this queer
looking symbol upon pieces of Turkish
embroidery, says the Little Chronicle,
for it is much used by the Turks, and
Mohammedans generally, for decora-
tive purposes. 1t is the autograph, or
more properly speaking, the mono
gram, of the sultan of Turkey. 1t con-
sists of the words .'Abd I'll Hamid
Khan, Second, son of Add I'll Mejid
Khan" The smaller monogram just
beside it contains the words Ell Ghazi'
(warrior of the faith), title which the
present sultan adopted after his army
had won several victories in the Iurko-
Russian war. The queer shape of the

Farmers in Egypt have purchased in

corn, watch they propose to plant in
the fertile valleys along the River
Nile. The cargo, which is to be de-
livered at Alexandria, will be taken
from Philadelphia on the British

expert agriculturists that the rich
Nile valleys, which have been un-
cultivated for centuries, will grow as

LIFE'S TASK

o restless spirit! wherefore strain
Beyond thy sphere?
Heaven and hell, with their joys and
pain,
Are no wand here.
Back to myself is measured well
All thou hast given;
Thy neighbor wrong is thy present
hell,
His bliss thy heaven.
And in life, in death. in dark and
light,
All are in Gods care;
Sound the black abyss, pierce the
deep of night,
And He is there!
Leaning on Him. make with reyerent
.meekness
His own thy will.
And with strength from Him shall
thy utter weakness
Life's task fulfill;
And that cloud itself, which now be-
fore thee
Shall with beams Of light from the
inner glory
Be stricken through.
And like a meadow mist through
autmn's dawn
Uprolling thin,
It heaviest folds when about thee

HORSE, BICYCLE, AUTOMOBILE.

Three hustling teams arranged a
meet
Their metal to display;
Each recognized and known as fleet,
Each claimed the right of way.
The nice-groomed horse in glossy coat
Was first to reach the stand
He was contented with his lot
And first to make demand.
He always had the right of way
This the world conceded;
When harnessed to the "one-horse
shay"
1t was all we needed.
The Cycle wheel filed exceptions,
Not as to power or age,
But claiming a wise conception
Now appearing on the stage.
Adopting the planet motion
To aid the task of man;
Tho claimed as Yankee notion
Has been leading van.
The Automobile took the stand;
Though young, claimed equal rights
The right to conquer and demand
That all shall test by flight.
The Airship-a near relation
Is coming on the stage;
Now in training-on probation
| And soon will be of age.
/, The world is moving; mind and mat
ter
Cooperate today;
The former guides and shapes The
latter
Whether tbs flesh or clay.

Whose broken windows, shattered

While from the easement gaunt De-
