OUR IMMIGRANTS.

Some Of the big questions Of the
country have been so weighted down
with figures that nine-tenths of the
readers of newspapers and periodicals
avoid them as religiously as if they
were volumes of sermons.
People do not like to bother with
long rows of statistics and solemn de-
auctions. That explains why so little
is really read by the public on the
great problem of immigration.
Ask the average man how many
different nationalities enter into the
great American body, and he will
name you nine or ten. As a matter
OF fact Al races are represented in
the annual immigration to ihe United
States.

A Worthy Successor.
Something New Under The Sun.

All doctors have tried to cure
catarrh by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
mucuous membranes causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhalers have en-
tirely eaten away the same MEM
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments
cannot reach the disease. An old and
experienced practitioner who has for
many years made a close study and
speciality Of the treatment Of catarrh,
has at last perfected a treatment
which when faithfully used, not only
relieves at once. but permanently
cures catarrh, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges and curing
all Inflammation. 1t is the only rem
edY known tC SCIENCE that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This won
derful remedy is known as "Snufiles
the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure, and is
sold at the extremely low price OF one
dollar, each package containing inter-
nal and external medicine sufficient
for a full months treatment and
everything necessary to its perfect
use.
Snuflles''is the only perfect catarrh
cure ever made and is now recognized
as the only safe and positive cure for
that annoying and disgusting disease.
1t cures all inflammation quickly and
permanently and is also wonderfully
quick to relieve Hay Fever or Cold in
the Head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads
to Consumption" Snuffies" will save
you if you use it at once. 1t is no or
binary remedy, but complete treat
ment which is positively guaranteed
to cure Catarrh in any form or stage
if used according to the directions
which accompany each package. Don't
delay but send for it at once. and
write full particulars as to your CON
dition, and YOU win receive special
advice from the discoverer of this
wonderful remedy regarding your
case without cost to you beyond the
regular price Of .'Snuffles' the Guar
anteed Catarrh cure.

To Redeem Stamps.


The internal revenue bureau has
just issued statement that all docu-
mentary and proprietary revenue
stamps in the hands OF purchasers on
and after July 1st, will be redeemed
by the government. Such stamps
should be presented for redemption BY
the owner thereof to the collector Of
internal revenue from whom they were
purchased. who win supply the appli-
cant with necessary forms and in
structions for the preparation of the
claim.
1t is probable that regulations will
be issued providing for the redemp-
tion of imprinted documentary stamps
without requiring the destruction of
the checks or drafts on which they
are imprinted.

1t is always fair weather with the
residents of the Emerald Isle. The
tourist may be drenched to the skin
with the wettest of rain, but every
native he meets will assure him that
it is "a foine day." It is only when
the Irishman takes his pen to write
that he mum bers something beside the
sunny hours, as in the effusion below,
which is marked by rather more
truth than poetry

anecdote If Cardinal Pedro Gonzalez.
That prelate noticed that one of the
priests in his retinue, a Biscayan, car
ried a short sword under his cloak.
The cardinal reproved him and told
him that it was wrong for a cleric to
carry arms. The Biscayan replied that
he carried the weapon to defend him
self if he were attacked by dog. The
tcardiual said that in case he saw dog
running at him he should begin to re-
cite from the gospel Of st. John. The
priest acknowledged that this was a
good way. but held to the dagger be
