Owing 20 the restrictions in our im-

IN the labor conditions In Ireland and
Germany the immigration to this
country Is steadily decreasing, says a
writer IN Ainsiee's Magazine. The in
huence OF the foreign element IN the
United States, however, Is very great
Fourteen per cent Of the population is
foreign, and 80 per cent Is Of foreign
birth or Of foreign ~parentage. Until
twenty years ago the immigration to
this country was agsimilativo. The
Germans and the Irish who came In
regiments quickly became American
and after two generations lost nearly
all trace of either German or Irish
characteristics. They intermarrisd,

orleans Of long descent, without him
drance or prejudice, and an we're AM
orleans. A great portion Of the inn
migrants Of the past 20 years came
from the Slav countries and do not be-
come easily Americanized. In the on
cial records they are classed as Rus
SLAMS. Polish or Hungarlans. but the
most Of them are really Hebrews who
were driven away from these countries
not because of their religion. but on
account Of their methods of conducting
business. During the last decade half
2 million Of these slavs, who are really
Hebrews, have come TO this country.

A British correspondent in South At
RIGA tells the following highly inter
esting story Of Dom Paul: Once, when
out on a shooting expedition. a party
had gathered around a camp FIRE, and
the conversation turned upon Htera-
ture. There were Englishmen, Hol-
landers, Germans and Beers present
and each Of them had much to say con-
ceTning celebrated writer's Of prose and
poetry. except Dom Paul. He smoked
his eternal "long stem" and held his
peace. The Germans and the English
men nearly came to the stripping Oh
Of coats concerning the relative merits
Of Goethe and Shakespeare. At last
the Englishmen turned to the one ST.
lent figure Of the camp IRE, saying.
Look here, now, Dom Paul, which do
you think the greater writer OF the

then celebrated man. with brutal
frankness. "Mein Gottl" calculated
the German; there is a man whom the
Beers call great. and he has not read
Goethe!" Never read win Shake

then what the deuce have you ready"
only this" said Dom Paul, pulling a
frayed and battered Bible from his
pocket, "and I have not half mastered
its glories, yet / have read It day and
night for well nigh forty years. When
I've exhausted the Bible. III perhaps

Of them write such glorious lines as
King David, the ancient poet Of the
Jews, has left us in his %wondrous Book
of Psalms? Could either Shakespeare
or Goethe have written the Songs Of
