Jewish Immigration.

New fofk sun
 The great and significant increase in Jew ish immigration of recent years and the change in the European sources from which it comes are shown very strikingly in statistics present. ed by the American Hebrew.
 During the last four years Jews constituted more than per cent of the whole numbe4 of immigrants to the United States or 2;2.- 9e5. out of 1896. 94S. This Is an averag |. of more than s0ooo. year; and the Jewish immigration is continuing In large volume IF not increasing. During the last six mouths of 1902 the arrivals at New York alone aggts-s gatee 36.656. out of Q total in:migratto of 23o. BPS.
 About 70 per cent of the Jewish immi sra- ton for the four years remained fin New York. i4S.s75. but of the other immigrants. only about 29 per cent The tendency of tho Jews to the great cities is indicated further by the circumstancs that all except about to per cent of the remainder went to the States in which situated the cities of Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston. Thus the rapid growth of the Jewish population of our iarges. cities New York more especially. is explained. New York now contains more than half mil- lion Jews, and If the immigration continues at the rate of the last two years the number will be about 1. .ooo, 900 at the end ot ths decade.

The horse was the fayori.e. The bookmaker was watching the race, and his anima was second at the half lighter-weight- ed horse had the lead by several lengths The bookmaker, in T swl ygerinS ma nner looking at his friend near by, said
 Well. Jack. I will bet you $1,000 to $l that my horse wins.
 His friend replied: Well. you know haven't got any money. That's the req son you are bluffing.'
 Well. answered the bookmaker. I will bet you Sl.00) to q pin
 The other fellow looked at the lapel of his coat He did not even have pin. He looked down at the ground and picked up what he thought was a pin.

 ''I was about to pay over the money wop when the bookmaker eyed the supposed pin closely and said:

A Cooperative Failure.

Providence Journal.
 The announcement from Pittsburg that the American Window Glass Company has withdrawn its project of dividing 5000 shares of stock among its employees can hardly be called failure of a stock -shar- ing plan. The scheme was promulgated in 1901. and the company made no secret that it was part of a bargain to secure certain promises from the Window Glass Workers Association. through its Presi- dent, Simon Burns In return for the of- fer Burns was to furnish sufficient skilled labor to keep the works running during the summer months. and thus lay up a surplus which would help the company control the market for window glass. The men wanted to work as they pleased, and the dissatisfied ones withdrew to form another association. Burns was made a director of the company. but was unable to carry out his agreement. While the plan fell through six months ago. off, ficial announcement was not made of the fact until last week. The stock was quoted at 5s when the plan was abandon ed, but Burns insisted that the men had an opportunity to make something and threw it away.

The declaration Of independence and the constitution are not the only grounds for opposing the in- Engagement of tho natural rights of per- sons with auburn hair.

 Besides. red headed persons have had conspicuous parts in history.

It Is short sighted, then. and ungracious in the extreme to discriminate against persons with auburn hair For tunately they are usually quite capable Of upholding their rights. Their tenn. perament does not lead them to sit and nope when their privileges are threat ened. The Iowa matron might have known what would happen when she broke her sons engagement with a red- headed girl.
