Glove NV Dog"

An amusing story comes from Paris
of the devices adopted by prominent
clubman of wealth and position to
form the acquaintance of lady well
known for her beauty in social and
theatrical circles, says the London
Globe. The lady was lunching in a
fashionable restaurant in the Bots de
Boulogne, accompanied by her equal
ly well known poodle. The dog was
running about from table to table,
picking up pieces and collecting NOR
sells from other diners, and presently,
when it returned to its mistress she
was astonished to see written on it's
back in red chalk: "Tell your mistress
that she is simply adorable, and 1
love her exceedingly" The gentle
man signed his name. After this a
formal introduction was no longer
necessary

How the Moss Grows.

A familiar belief is that moss grows
chiefly on the north side of trees,
writes the Sioux City Journal. The no.
ton is not established by science, and
an examination of many trees has
shown Prof. Henry Kraemer, Phila-
delphia botanist, that temper cent. had
the moss on the west side, ten per
cent. on the northwest side, ten per
cent. on the north side, 20 per cent. on
the northeast side, IS per cent. on the
east side, and Is per cent. on the south
east side.

New York, May 30.-Immigration Is
now at the highest point in the his
tory of the country, and the average
class of people coming here is re-
garded by some of the officials as the
lowest.
Counting the immigrants on board
steamships due to arrive today and to-
morrow, the imm grafton for the
month will reach the record break
ing total of $500. In May of 1893 the
previous record breaking month, $4,000
people came into the country in the
steerage of the Atlantic liners.
The bulk of the immigrants are
from southern and southeastern Eu-
rope. immigration from Ireland, Ger
many, Norway Sweden and Denmark
has fallen off greatly. In former years
immigrants from these countries pre-
dominated. Seventy per cent of the
immigrants now coming in are from
Russia, Austria, Hungary and Italy.
Most of these are non producers.
The immigration authorities say
that the great rush Of aliens is due
to the commercial PROSPERITY of this
country and industrial stagnation in
nearly every European country.

the treaties between Chilli and Argen-
tine which have just been signed is,
according to a Herald dispatch from
Valparaiso, as follows:
First, treaty of general arbitra.
tion to cover controversies of every
nature arising between Chilli and Ar
gentine, provided the said controYer-

rights Of the republics or cannot be
decided by direct negotiations. This
treaty is to last ten years and the ar
bitrators shall be two foreign powers,
of which Great Britain shall be one.
Second, protocol providing for the
neutrality of each republic in regard
to the pending questions with other
countries. This protocol contains a
clause that the Magellan straits are
not to be fortified.
Third, protocol to reduce the arm
aments of each republic to an equal

sents certain technical difficulties, the
British admiralty will decide any ques.
ton, if the respective parties do not
agree within certain period.
The two protocols will be submitted
to the congresses of both republics.

satisfaction throughout Chilli. Several
