AFRICAN NATIVES

LLlTEBAcYAMQNG IMMIGRANTS.

l..ss .$--NEEEE. -, aE.
Analysis Of the official figures Of
immigration for the. fiscal year
1901 affords an,interesting view of
relative stand ards Of education
among the common people. or, to-
use Lincol's preferable phrase,
"the plain people," of the different
European countries.
According to the New York
World the grand total of. illiterate.
immigrants was liz, 646--which
means that II of every 100 immi-
grants. over fourteen:years of age
that came to us last:year could not
read or write their own language.
Passing on to the race items, it
appears that Scandinavian immi-
grants are the best educated, less
than one in 100 of them being
'iiliterate. England and Scotch
immigrants come next, with a lit
tie over one, in 100 :of Them unable
to read and write, OF Irish immi-
grants r3::2tper cent, only we're
il~literate; Of French, SO per cent
Of German, ~ per: cent. Of Dutch
and Flemish, 7.s per cent. The
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS show the high
est proportion Of illiterates, but
there is marked difference be-
tween those from the Northern and
those from Southern Italy, for
while IS insevery roo is the illite-
rate ratio. among the. former, it is
So in every 1oo among the latter.

Chamberlain Shipments.

During the season closing on De-
cember /, 1895 carloads Of stock
passed through the stock yards of
the Milwaukee company at Chamber
lain, as against 740 cars one year
ago, and 472 car two years ago. A
total Of 8, 1875 beef cattle, of5435 car
loads, were shipped to eastern
markets, as against, 9,039 or 1874
carloads a year, ago. While forty
two more cars OF beef cattle we're
shipped than during the previous
year, the fact that shipments. did
not keep pace with the great in
crease in other classes Of stock
movements vas due entirely to the
depressed market. While forty-two
cars, more of beef cattle were shipped
this year than last, but 1865, 400
were realized, as against $406, 755
last year.
AS a result stockmen only shipped
E:such stock as they were forced to
place upon the market, p%referring as
the ranges r well supplied with
feed and water, to hold the stock
over until the next season. The
most marked increase has been in
the receipt of young cattle from
eastern. or southern points, 545 cars
Of young cattle having been brought
in, as against but 224 last year, and
1879 two years ago.
AS these young cattle, aggregat'
ing 1900 head, averaged about SIC
per head laid down at Chamberlain
it is shown that $500, 900 worth OF
young cattle have been placed upon
the ranges tributary to Chamber
lain during the year, in addition t.
the natural increase, while but 9, 13;
have been shipped as beef cattle.
! It is, therefore, safe to assume
that the amount Of. stock on til,
ranges has fully doubled during The
year. Next years figures OF stool
movements are certain to show
marked increase over even this year
With the large amount of stocl
that has been taken to the ranges
overland, together with the immenst
wool shipments from the great sheer
ranches west Of the river, it's SAFE
to assume that stock interests to ar
amount exceeding $ 1,OOO,oO0 passee
through the hands Of stock opera
tors at Chamberlain during the las
season, making Chamberlain q Q
the leading stock shipping points il
the northwest.

A late diner at one of the Chestnut street restaurants" says The Philadel- phia Record, was puzzled by the ac- tions of the head waiter. who. with q large kitchen knife. went from table to table. avoiding only those that were in use. and scraped off the under edge of every table. Now. what are you doing that for?' asked the customer. Are you probing for stowaways? 2? No. answered the man with the big knife. but if you will feel under the edge of your table l expect that you will feel a lump al bout the size of a marble. The customer tried the experiment and found. instead of one lump. three of them. and SO told the waiter Do you know what they are:' asked the wait CT. No Well. you might not be- lieVe it. but at least every other day it is necessary to scrape those Jumps off at every table. Sometimes we find as many twenty of them under the edges of one table. They are chewing gum. left there by girls. At least one girl out of three takes d piece of chew ing gum from her mouth and sticks it under the table when she sits down to luncheon or dinner.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Last Saturday evening just at 6
 santa Fe Paciflcs large reservoir south of town. were preparing to make
 everything snug for the night. a ter
 rible accident occurred. by which one
 man nearly lost his life. The great dam is now almast completed. and in
 the center the canyon has a height of seventy feet. Derricks were in use in
 handling the enormous blocks of stone.
 and at the time mentioned. Tom George. one of the workmen. was walk ing along the crest of the dam holding
 in his hands the guide rope used to swing the huge blocks into position.
 When at the highest point he gave Il
 tug on the rope. which parted. On the
 upper side of the dam there is a sheer fail of thirty feet To the water below. on the lower side the wall ia ter
 raced forming huge stair-steps. II was
 on this side that the unfortunate George fell. When The rope parted he
 was precipitated into space. failing backward for a distance of twelve feet before striking the terrace below. from which he bounded from one to the other till the bottom was reached Those who saw the accident stood with bated breath and only expected when they reached the unfortunate man to find him dead. He was hastily conveyed to the hospital. where Dr. Melick made examination. dis closing the fact that aside from an
 ugly cut on the head and numerous bruises. no great damage was done | How the man escaped with his life was
 a miracle. and that he could have fallen
 a distance of seventy feet without q i bone being broken. seems almost i'm { possible to believe.-Williams News.
