INTERSTATE MIGRATION.
Vast Numbers of People Abandon
Their Native States and Settle
in Others.

At least one person in every five ma

or 21.3 per cent, were living in adopted

1t is interesting to note the number
Of sons and daughters which the diff

has sent out more than 1 300, 900, Penn

each. Proportionately to her popula-
ton Vermont has given to her sister
states more than any other member of
the union. Vermonters equaling in
numbers nearly one-half of the pres
ent native population of the state are
living in other states. Virginia, New
Hampshire, Nevada, Maine and Della
ware have each sent out numbers
aqualing about one-third of their pres
ent native population.

Mrs. Garrett is evidently a woman
of advanced education. Being a prac-
ticed penman, or rather penwoman,
she will keep her own dockets, and,
possessing some knowledge of lega!
forms, she will use that knowledge
to acquire more. A number of cases,
small but important to the litigants,
have already been continued from
the docket of the retiring justice to
that over which Justice Garrett will
preside, and it is apparent she will
have the opportunity very frequently
to bring into play any of Portals
qualities she may possess.

REGICIDES EXPLAINED.
The Assnssins of Crowned Heads Not
Anarchists, But Degenerate
Poor, Says an Expert.

| That wide-awake Roman journal,
, L'1talie, sent a representative the
other day to Prof. Sergi, chief of the
Anthropological Institute in Rome, to
ask him why SO many Italians become
regicides, mentioning, of course, Cas-
eric, Lucchesi, Angiolitto, Bresci and
Rublno. Here, says the New York Sun,
is the answer of Prof. Sergi:
Our emigrants go out in swarms
that become concentrated all the more
when they find themselves isolated in
foreign country. But the unfortun-
ate isolated ones soon drop down into
the darkest misery. You know how
great the tendency to suicide is in
northern countries. The wretched
Italian driven to those lands quickly
feels that morbid influence and he
joins to it the defects of his own i'm
pulsive nature. While the man of
the north in despair seeks an obscure
suicide. the meridianal, or southern
man, looks for sensational suicide"
Then you mean to call sensational
suicides, at least to some extent, the
regicidal attempts of desperate men?"
asked the correspondent.
YES" replied the professor, ION
condition that you add to the word
desperate the word 'Gegenerate.'
Place a degenerate in the wretched
conditions in which Italians in for
eign countries find themselves SO Oft
en-, and you have before you an individ-
ual who dreams of finishing a miser-
able life by a resounding suicide.
Take the cases of Caserio in France.
Lucchesi in Switzerland, Bresci in Italy
and Rubino in Belgium"
Then you do not believe in the an
archistic declarations which they all
make under similar circumstance?
Certainly not. The anarchists have
ideas, not impulses; and the regicides
that have mentioned are all creatures
OF impulse and solitary wretches.
Doubtless they have been more or less
influenced by socialistic and anar-
chistic publications, but with them
that influence is only secondary. The
true cause of their acts lies in their
intellectual degeneracy, accentuated
by the miserable physical conditions
of their existence. For example. take
the first word of Rubino when he was
arrested: I was so wretchedly poor,
said he, etc. There is the compIete
explanation of his act. The man isan
lmpulsive degenerate, determined to
end his life Of misery in a brilliant
iashlon, according to his notion"

Queen. Pet Parrot.

The late queen of the Bclgians
used to have favorite parrot. When
1t first arrived at court, some two or
three years ago, it Mortified the cour-
tiers by shrieking out such treason
able expressions as Down with the

publique!" Poor Poll was sentenced
to death by strangulation by the in
1iSnant lords in waiting, but the
qu.en interviewed and set herself to
teach the parrot to cry give lie roll"
and other local phrases. Her lessons
were soon successful, and the bird

previously bseu republican.-C Chicago

About 20 per cent. of the weight OF
meat is lost during cooking.
An ordinary oak tree raises I20 to
$50 tons of moisture from the earth
during single season.
Except school taxes there is no
state tax levied in New Jersey other

Irregularities in the postal service
at Semarang, Java, led to an investi-
cation which showed that the indo-
lent native postmen had habit of
tying letters into bundles and drop
ping them into the river.
A knowledge of English is now con-
sIdered necessary for business pur-
poses in Mexico, and according to a
decree published last September that
language is hereafter to be taught
orally in the public schools.
Near Rock Springs, Wyo., a big
cottonwood tree stood till a few

Embedded in the trunk. The wood
had grown around the antler and the
