The horses Of the New York fire de-
partment receive more petting proba-
bly, than any other horses In the world
In nearly every engine house each of
the stalls bears the name Of the horse
occupying 1t, large black letters on
aluminium marking the quarters OF
Tom, Harry, Dick or Major, as the case
may be. The firemen are proud of
their dumb friends and not only do
everything possible to make them COM
Portable when they are of duty, but
take pleasure In providing them with
little luxuries and tidbits. Loaf sugar,
nougat and other candies are pur-
chased by one fireman or another In
each engine house almost every day,
and passersby may often see the
horses eating the sweets from the
hands Of their men friends.

The annual immigration into the
United States is getting up very close
to a million persons. Commissioner
Sargent of the Immigrati ion Bureau
has made the following ominous state
ment which carries its own lesson:
"The great bulk of immigration in
1883 was composed as it had been
sence the foundation of our country,
of the Teutonic and Celtic races of
Western Europe, while the people
who are now seeking our shores are
mostly of the Slavonic races of East
ern Europe and Italians. This change
in the character of our immigration
has increased the illiteracy rate from
about per cent to % per cent.

Fish without Bait.

The fishermen Of Ciudad Bolivar, on
the Orinoco river, in South America,
catch their fish in the queerest way in
the world. They use no bait, but try
to hook the fish by the body. A cylin-
drical weight is tied to a long line.
Above this weight, for length of six
inches, strong fish hooks are attached.
The line is thrown out in places where
the current is swift and shoals of fish
pass. 1t is hauled In rapidly by a
series of jerks and usually there is a
fish on half the hooks.
This method Of fishing is called ro-
alphabetically, ito rob-"

The report of the Interstate Com

s52, OOO, 600 owes that of the preceding
year and estimates are made of a
further increase of $40, 100000 for the
year of 1908. This tremendous in
crease on railroads business, indicat-
ing of course highly prosperous con-
ditions of trade, comes in spite of the
fact that most of the railroads have
been spending enormous sums of
money in permanent improvements.

patient. She must understand what to
do herself, what should be left to serv-

In every household. She must be quick
to see when her presence Is necessary,
when she is In the way. She can allow
herself no personal habits as to bed or
board, no private existence or amuse-
ment while at case, and when the pa
tent Is safely through the exciting Pc
Rod of illness she has to settle down
