THETNvASTON OF ENGLAND.

Many think that this country has been too generous in the matter of ad- mitting immigrants. and Englishmen are making the same complaint about their own country Lord Mountmorres asserts that over 170,000 sons of English soil were driven from their motherland last year by the advancing hordes of foreigners, and of this number much the larger part were skilled artisans, traders, manufacturers. etc. In certain of the districts of the East End of Lon- don, such as stepney, St. Georges, Mile End, Old Town and Whitechapel, the number of resident foreigners is stead fly growing, and the number of the ma tive population is decreasing with equal steadiness. Indeed, if the English born children of these immigrants are count ed as foreigners, as they are not in the English census returns, 1t would be found that in the East End of London the alien population had practical con- trol of the field.

asserts that witnesses before the royal commission that Is now examining into this matter testify that the newcomers systematically adopt the plan of boy cotting the indigenous trader or worker. They descend upon a street or dis trict, drive out the original inhabitants, open their own shops, set up their own business. and, by absolutely ignoring them. starve out all of those who pre- viously gained their livelihood in the in- vaded locality. Once one of these im- migrant outposts is established in a London street it is now recognized that it is but the beginning of an invasion Of the thoroughfare which cannot be re- sisted, and the old inhabitants and To- cal dealers endeavor as quickly as pos sible to quit the locality for the purpose of seeking homes and opportunities elsewhere.

TALKING SHOP.
A Sentiment Concering Which There is
 Considerable Humbung.

A Sentiment Concering Which There is
 Considerable Humbung
 'If there is one thing that makes me a little Wearier than another" said an amateur cynic, "it is to hear man boast that he never talks shop I met fairly eminent actor at little gather- ing not long ago, and when some pleasant reference was made he drew himself up and said. You will pardon me, I am sure, but really, make it a rule never to talk shop That remark convinced two or three thick headed bearers that he was singularly free from vanity, but it convinced the rest of us that he was double dyed don- key and a poseur of the purest ray serene.
 Every right minded man likes to talk shop and does so whenever he gets a chance It is that which makes class clubs almost invariably success The members are all interested in the same thing and can talk shop at lib without getting called down. One of the re- deeming features of matrimony is the fact that man secures a helpless vic- tim to whom he can talk shop every day of the year.
 When chap is travelling as in a strange city, what joy it is to bump up against somebody in ones same line of business! Tt is like meeting a long lost brother! I have often thought that the chief objection to being a hang man is that there are so few persons with whom a fellow could chat about the craft.
 And yet it has grown to be fashion alnong people of eminence in all the professions to affect reluctance to dis cuss the precise thing in which each is most interested. They don't like to talk shop! Faugh! Nobody has any right to make such an assertion except a burglar in a police station. "-NeW Oreleans Times Democrat.

ESTTATIOg.

It does not yet appear what the min CTS are going to do about the operators offer. but decision is expected to-day. The talk about the miners attitude is not encouraging. but it is difficult to see how they can feel justified in re- fusal to accept the offer. In the formal statement submitted to President Roosevelt the other day NIT. Mitchell and his assistants said: Confident of our ability to demonstrate to any inn partial tribunal the equity of our de- mands for higher wages and improved environment, we propose that the issues eliminating in this strike shall be re- ferred to you and a tribunal of your own selection, and agree to accept your award upon all or any of the questions involved. If you will accept this re- sponsibility, and the representatives of the coal operators will signify their wll- lingness to have your decision incor- porated in an agreement, for not less than one year, or more than five years, as may be mutually determined be- tween themselves and the anthracite coal mine workers, and will pay the scale of wages which you shall award, we will immediately call convention, and recommend a resumption of work, upon the understanding that the wages which shall be paid are to go into ef- feet from the day upon which work is resumed.
 While the miners may not like all the things the operators say there can be no doubt that the offer does provide for an impartial tribunal. If after the operators have more or less gracefully come down the miners now refuse to come down they will lose much of the sympathy that has been given them, and they will deserve to.

THE GERMAN PRIVATE sorD1ER

THE GERMAN PRIVATE SOLDIER.
 It has been slow in coming. but one of the new articles of war recently pro- mulgated by the German emperor deals with the treatment of privates by officers and non-commissioned officers, and says that whoever treats his sub ordinates in manner contrary to the regulations, whoever insults or mal- treats them, and whoever abuses his official power so as to obtain advan- tages for himself at the expense of his subordinates will be severely punished" Complaints are to be made through the proper channels, but anything like com- mon action or the collection of sigma lures for complaints is forbidden under penalties. The articles are to be pub lished in Lithuanian, Polish, Danish, and French, as well as in German, so that all recruits may be able to under Stdlu tHeIns opectai stress IS la1Q upon the privileges as well as the duties of the soldier, and the rewards of the highest military rank are declared to be open to ability and merit
 This reads we'll enough. and it is to be hoped that it will work we'll. The German private soldiers lot hasn't been a very happy one.

x A flexible metal hose is made at Phorzheim, Germany, by rolling up a metal band like a screw thread, the joints being made tight by cord of rubber on asbestos. The material is galvanized steel or phosphor bronze. The hose is very flexible. Its tendency to untwist when roughly handled is overcome by making it double, with op- posite windngs. It is intended for mining purposes, is eight inches in diameter and will stand a pressure of two hundred atmospheres.

One of the Berlin courts was recently occupied with the question whether a starving man was capable of consuming a large loaf of bread, value fifteen cents, at one meal. If a man proved to be starving steals bread it is not considered a theft, according to the German law, but is punished lightly. In this instance the loaf was considered too large for one person to consume, but on the workman, who stole it from a bakers shop, proving that he shared it with a starving friend, he was &C., quilted of theft.

remains of his small fortune rammed
into his pocket. In the wild, unreason-

forgotten his cigar case And II was

David went indoors thoughtfully, with
a general feeling that something like
hand had grasped his brain and was
squeezing it like sponge. He was
free from his carhing anxiety now. but
II seemed to him that he was paying a
heavy price for his liberty Mechanic
ally he counted out the hank notes and
almost as mechanically he cut his ini-
tials on the gun metal inside the cigar
case. He was one OF the kind of men
who like to have their initials every
where.
He snapped the lights out and went TO
bed at last. But to sleep. The well
come dawn came at last, and David
took his bath gratefully. He would

From one little detail 10 another, the

this point the young man was decided.
He stated it as his emphatic opinion
that II was a wife's duty to get up and
start the fires. and let her poor, hard
worked husband rest.
After this decision there was a silence
for about thrae-quarters OF second.
