aliens formed per cent. Of the prison population. If the census returns were , trustworthy. foreigners constitute less than one-half per cent. of the total population of the country. but are re- sponsible for 3 per cent. Of the crime. Hence their criminals are in the pro portion of to 1, as compared with na- tive-born residents. These figures only refer to graver offences. and do not in clude foreign misdemeanants and oth- CTS against whom proceedings are taken by summons to the police courts. The e3O,OOO spent on these alien crim- inals represents the interest on one million sterling, which, manifestly, might be more profftably expended. The objection is made, however, to Sir Howard Vincent's bill that, although it makes satisfactory provision for the expulsion of these undesirable immi- grants, it offers no security. against their return. The problem is how to prevent them, after they have been ex- pelled fom one port, from re-entering the country by another. At present the whole coast is practically open to them. and will be unless more stringent regu- lations are adopted for the inspection and admission of immigrants,
 If serious attempt is made in Lon don to drive out and keep out foreign criminals New York and other big cities will have to be on the lookout for them.

NEW BRAINS IN BOSTON.

An astonishing discovery has been made in Boston. It is that some chill dren who have not the blessed Boston brand have almost, if not quite, as much mental power as the children who have the brand. The discovery was made in the course of recent debate held between two debating societies formed of the children of Russian Jews in Boston's North End. The question debated by the youngsters was "The Exclusion of the Negro from Suffrage in Alabama and the Boston Tran script says: 'The judges were simply carried of. their feet by the extraordi- nary fertility of argument. abundant evidences of research and perspicuity of statement which these boys exhibit ed. It seemed to the judges that it would be difficult to find in any of the Brahmin classes of town youths who could have surpassed or matched these children of men and women who only a few years ago had barely heard of America"
 Well, well! What are they coming to, or where are they going to, in Bos- ton? And is there anything in good old New Haven like that which has been discovered in Boston?

rover so. But We have means of find- ing out whether the applicants are tell ing the truth about the salary they want to borrow upon without going di- rectly to the employer.
 Tn fact, it does not always pay us to take this precaution. I went to the en- plOyer of a man who wanted to borrow $100 on a good salary. To my astOnish- mentment. the employer called the young man in, gave him a sound lec- ture on extravagant habits, which me- cessitated dealings with men in my business. and drew a check for the money on the spot, to be gradually de- ducted from his salary. Nothing in that for me, was there? The non-bor- rowing public knows little of our trade except the occasional stories of extor- tionate interest we charge on loans and the extreme measures we are compelled to adopt sometimes in order to make good They do not know that the mon ey-lender is the natural prey of the born dead beat and that, shrewd as we may be, we have to count up several hundred dollars year on his side of the balance sheet.-New York Times.

TALE OF A HAUNTED HOUSE.
Blood-Stained Phantom Seen By Pho
 tographer in Guernsey.

Blood-Stained Phantom Seen By Pho- tOgrapher in Guernsey. A remarkable ghost sensation is dis turbing the serenity of St. Peter Port, Guernsey, where a local photographer has just vacated his residence on the ground that he and members Of his family have been terrified by supernat- uraI visitations.
 The photographer states that when taking his meals he has seen arms reaching over his head and endeavor- ing to take away his food. The pictures on the walls have moved in weird fashion, and there were sounds of rat fling chains and ringing bells.
 One evening the tenants daughter saw an apparition clad in white conl- ing down the stairs. It possessed only one hand, the fingers of which were twice the ordinary length and stream- ing with blood.
 This spectral visitant, seen on another occasion by the daughter. indicated that her mothers brooch, which was missing, would be found in the range in a certain room. Here it was discover ed.
 This so prayed on the girls mind that she had to take to her bed, and finally the weird manifestations became so fre- quent that the photographer decided to leave the house.
 Huge crowds gathered nightly around the place, and the authorities deputed several constabIes to watch the house.
 When one of these entered the prem ises mat flew in his face. Another officer, while sitting in one of the rooms, felt his chair being lifted in mid-air. He flew in terror.
 After this a number of prominent res- idents endeavored to solve the mystery. They chalked the stairs, locked choc- olate box in one ofthe cupboards, and left the premises apparently secure.
 When they returned shortly afterward there were footprints on the chalked staircase and the chocolate box was on the middle of table, with feather bal anced on the top of it. Yet the cup- board in which the box was placed was still locked.
 Being incredulous as to the truth of these reports MT. Turner, local resi- dent, arranged to pass several nights on the premises.
 With only his dog for company, he locked himself in, put out the lights, and waited for ghostly revelations.
 Once when he was in the basement, from which range had been removed for the purpose of, ascertaining if any human remains were inferred in the place. he felt a touch on the knee.
 Striking a match he held himself in readiness for supernatural develop ments, but discovered only his faithful dog by his side.
 On number of subsequent nights his vigil was equally .unproductive, and MT. Turner now offers to forfeit sum of $50 to local charity if any one spend- ing night in the house in his company witnesses anything mysterious or unus- ual.-London Express.

4 Song of tine Yankee.

If you chance to sail uncharted seas, An unknown shore to gain It's ten to one, when you reach the land, A naked native is on the sand With an Elgin timepiece in his hand, Or sardine tin from Maine; And under a spreading cocoa tree
 There stands traders tent, Where lonely stranger is selling clocks, And Springfield guns and Stamford locks, Jackknives and liniment. He halls from Maine or from Lake Cham
 plain,
 Or maybe from Salem. Mass. His face is lean, and his wit is keen, And his eye lets nothing pass. In an unmade land or a desert sand 'Tis his especial pride To do odd jobs for Providence,
 And help himself on the side. The Yankee inherts deal of craft From his stern faced Pilgrim sires, Who learned restraint, though they suffered
 much. And dwelt in peace with the grabbed Dutch, And taught the wilderness at their touch To yield what a man requires And the mission spirit will drive some
 Tanks

COSTLY SPEED.

It costs something to put an extra knot or two on steamships speed. Ex- periments which have just been made with a new English armored cruiser. the Cape of Good Hope, indicate how much. She is a vessel of 14.1OO tons. On her eight-hour trial she made mean speed of s. 3.05 knots. Her coal ex- penditure for various speeds was plot ted with surprising results. To go from 11.5 knots to 2S knots needed, roughly, 26,o00 additional horsepower, while the last knot alone absorbed S,621 horse power. That is to say, to progress from P to g knots needed as much power as the total required to drive the ship at about 16 knots: or, to put it in still another way, the power needed to drive the Cape Of Good Hope at full speed would propel two similar vessels at about 19 knots. The coal consump- ton at full speed was, roughly, 26 tons per hour; at 19 knots, about Il tons per hour. Again, at full speed the ship would steam 0S5 knot for each ton of coal burned, while at 19 knots the dist ance would be double for similar con- sumption of fuel. Such is the price paid for high speed afioat.
 There is, it appears, an economical speed' which varies with the vessel. from to 12 knots But that isn't more than half fast enough for swift ar mored cruisers or swift passenger steamers. The latest talk is of passen- ger steamers that will make 26 knots.

MONET, LOVE AND 4 HOME.

Young woman. go west, and do not stop going until you" reach the Philip pines, where, it appears, there is good money for you until you get a good husband. and. happy living ever after that. Can you ask more? The only preliminary proceeding necessary is to pass an examination and be appointed as a teacher of the little brown folks. Examinations are to be held by the civil service commission after the sum- mer vacation begins, so that all who are eligible will have an opportunity to take the examination. Candidates must be between the ages of 20 and 40. The pay is better than the compensa- tion eor women teachers in the United States, being from $9oo to $1,20O to start with. One of the reasons that the call for more teachers is made is that a great many of those who were sent out by the War department have married. In fact, the establishment of Philip pine school system has proved verita- ble boon for dozens of spinster school
 nar1ns. A couple hundred men and women teachers were sent to Manila on transport a couple of years ago, and romances begun on board ship re- suited in score of marriages as soon as the vessel arrived at Manila. This was a source of much vexation to the officials who went to great pains in get ting the teachers, who, of course, aban- doned their vocation on entering the matrimonial state. Others have since married young officers of the marine corps and army and in this way still further depleted the number of instruc- tors.
 It is smoothly said that the excellent pay offered, together with the oppor- tunities for marriage which teaching in the Philippines furnishes, are induce ments which the civil service commits sioners believe will cause many aspir- ants to take the coming examinations. The commissioners are believing about right.

London is a big place, but some of those who manage it are thinking that it isn't big enough to be the common refuge of foreign criminals of every nationality.

Some things are getting defined. The State of Illinois maintains free employ nent agencies which have been widely made use of. Some time ago the unions secured from the legislature an addition to the law creating the agencies, pro- viding that they should not furnish help on application to employers whose men were out on strike or a lockout. Be- cause of this addition the Supreme court of Illinois has judged the whole enactment to be unconstitutional.

There was also some short selling,

great volume of buying orders from
the country that has characterized the
market every day for some time
Country longs were profit takers to an
extent, but the market showed great
strength under the selling, recovering
time and again after slumps from the
opening figures, aided by profit TAX
ing by shorts who scalped the market
freely. In the midst of heavy liqui-

Ware & LeIapd's Cotton Letter.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE market to-
day was lower. Under the circumstances
this is not an usual result of the adj
vance of a cent a pound in twenty-four
hours. After the market has advanced
as this market has, 1t is not surpris-
ing that bears should be able to break
the price 80 or 40 points. We might
easily see break of " or n cent and
still find the situation just the same
as during the whole season up to date.
There was plenty Of opposition at the
opening to-day Everybody who has
tried the market and lost this fall and
had any money left to try again was
out this morning Cotton came out in
big blocks. We do not know that we
could recommend the selling as being
of a good character, because we saw
the same traders standing in the pit
and do the same thing at $500, 10000
and 11.90c. This does not argue that
this operator will not be successful
Only one is tempted to follow those
who have been right. Receipts were
large and this helped to weaken the
market, but the tone was not really
weak, when you consider the advance.
At 1910 there was some buying 10 COW
err early sales. This held the market
during the greater part of the day and
for three hours May did not break be-
low 1240c. Reports from the South,
from abroad and from the North, all
report the same conditions. There has
been a slight change in the New Eng
land attitude. Spinners are coming
into the market. On a further break
we would begin to buy moderately.
