JEWISH IMMIGRATION.
some Favorable Compa ris ons-Large
Proportion Of Skilled
Laborers.

In view of the agitation going on
concerning the enactment of more
stringent immigration laws, the
American Hebrew will publish in its
current number an ANALYSIS of the
Jewish immigration to the United
States during the last four years as
compared with the immigra ton of all
peoples. The entire Jewish immigrs-
ton for the four years ending June
30, 1902, was 213,965 out of total i'm
migration of 1,s96,94s. Three re-
markable things are shown in the
analysis given: That the percentage
of women among the Jewish imml-
grants averages 43 per cent, as
against 81 per cent. for all other
classes. AS to the children, the per
centage averages "a per cent. among
the Jews, as against II per cent. in
all other classes. Most important,
however, is the third, the fact that
nearly 33 per cent. of the Jews are
rated as skilled laborers, while, TAX
ing the entire immigration, including
the Jews, the average skilled labor is
less than IA per cent.
A table is given showing the num-
Der of immigrants debarred in the
last IL years. The number per thou
sand in 1902 was 767; for the last six
months, 11.55; for 1898, 1888; and for
1899, 1918.
1t is shown that the illiteracy in
the total Jewish immigration is IS
per cent, while the illiteracy for the
entire immigration figures out about
"a per cent. If the larger proportion
of children among the Jews is consid-
cred. and the women as well, and the
further fact that many of these wom-
en- and children can read their pray-
ers in Hebrew, while they cannot
read the constitution that is submit
ted to them as test, in Yiddish, the
illiteracy would be considerably re.
duced.
Altogether, the showing made for
the Jewish immigration is regarded
as an exceedingly satisfactory one.

Love Story in Curves.

He loved her devotedly. He was al
so bow-legged. Both facts gave him
pain at times. He passed it by with
a rueful smile, when she merrily said
that his affection gave him such an
arch look, and that, after all, he
was pretty good sort when you got
on to his curves. He bore it patient
ly when she referred to his walk as
a parenthetical progress. But he re-
belled and broke the engagement
when she called her pet dog through
the wicket formed by his legs.

SOCIETY OF THE PISTOL.
Queer Organization of Frenchme N
Who Are Banded Together to
Shoot One Another.

The Society of the Pistol, founded
bers. It's object is the cultivation of
skill in shooting with the pistol at
command and practicing speed with
the revolver.
Recently at one of it's meetings the
society experimental with some GU
rious bullets invented by DR.. Devillers,
q well-known fencer.
These bullets differ in one impor-
tant respect from those generally
used for pistols and revolvers. The
shells are of the Smith-Wesson pat.
tern, caliber A. The charge of pow
der is the same, but the missile instead
of lead is made of wax.
Before the shooting with the new
bullets began, DR.. Devillers acknowl-
edged that he had originally expert
enced much difficulty in finding any
body willing to be a Giving target"
In spite of no risk being involved,
everybody refused to act. Finally he
got the consent Of Paris lawyer, M.
Ernst Baviller, to be fired at. AS was
expected, he passed through the or
deal with flying colors.
After having shot several of the new
bullets at pasteboard to give further
assurance of the noppenetrability, the
members present formed pool for
the purpose of drawing lots. In this
manner half dozen couples were
chosen to shoot at each other.
The mimic combatants were placed
80 yards apart and the 'dueP' began.
1t turned out that the shock of the
bullet striking it's human mark was
simply that of slight blow or pinch
The different combatants in the first
encounters wore fencers' masks and
blouses of thick, coarse cloth, says
the Philadelphia North American. AT
the end of three or four pseudo duels
they continued without the masks or
blouses, the eyes being protected by
strong spectacles.
When the wax bullets struck the
breast fairly it generally fiattened and
fell to the ground, leaving a greasy
mark at the point of impact.

Do You Enjoy
What You Eat I?

You can eat whatever and whenever you
like If you take Kodol. By the use of this
remedy disordered digestion and diseased
stomachs are so completely restored to
health, and the full performance of their
functions naturally, that such foods as would
tie one into a double bow-knot are eaten
without even 'rumbling' and with posi-
tive pleasure and enjoyment. And what is
more these foods are assimiated and
transformed into the kind of nutriment that
is appropriated by the blood and tissues.
Kodol is the only digestant or combination
of digestants that will digest all classes of
food. In addition to this fact, it contains, in
assimilative form, the greatest known tonic
and reconstructive properties.
Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia and all
disorders arising therefrom.
