than half the cases the officials find
it necessary to fumigate them.
Greasy and repellent are most of the
Russian, Roumanian and Polish Jews,
with their queer Astrakhan caps and
long craftons. Poles and Lithunians
stagger under mountains of baggage,
and there are great hordes Of Croa-
tians, Slovaks. Slovenians, Montene-
grins, Dalmatians, Galicians and
scores of such nationalities of south
ern and western Europe.
The influx from southern Italy is
greatest at present.
The first medical examination is
that of the eyes, for here the physi-
clans fnd first traces of the loath-
some diseases common to emigrants.
The eyelids are turned up for signs
of trachoma, dreadful eye diseases,
which was unknown in America un-
til recent years, when introduced by
Russian and Slovak emigrants. 1t is
said that there are nearly $4,000
cases of that disease today in Great
er New York.
To stand at the inspectors gate,
one would observe that not one out
of 10 of the polglot mass that files

Surely at Ellis island can be seen
the result Of centuries of racial de-
generacy.
One per cent of the hundreds of
thousands of emigrants who arrived
last year, and so far this year, went
west of the Missouri river. Seventy
per cent remained in the eastern
states. Almost all of the Russian
Jews remain in New York. 1t is es-
timated that of the Russian Hebrew
colony of 5000 people in New York
one-sixth are dependent on charity
for existence.
The recent report of Commissioner
General F. p. Sargent of the bureau
of immigration, shows that the in
crease in the number of emigrants
afflicted with dangerous diseases is
greater even than the tremendous in
crease in immigra ton. Still, the de-
tention houses at Ellis island are usu-
ally not crowded, and it is fact that
out of the three-quarters of a million
aliens who applied for entrance to
the United States last year only 515S
were rejected and deported.
Uncle Sam collects 50 head tax
from the steamship companies for
each emigrant. The steamship COM
panies are compelled to support emf
grants until they have passed the in
spection, making the $3.50 steerage
rate decidedly Improbable as COM
pared with the normal rate Of from
$50 to $40.
Emigrants are supposed to show
that they have means of support, or
friends here who will declare their
Willingness to support them: that
they are free from disease; that they
possess enough money to carry them
to their destination, and that they
are of good character. Women with
out escorts must be identified by
friends who guarantee to support
them.
These questions are all duly asked,

HOMEMADE BOOKS
WELCOME GIFTS

Many women nowadays have faculty
of making handmade books as gifts
for their friends, and these illustrate
any fancy the maker chooses.
The work is not hard 10 accomplish,
anad the pretty books form charming
gifts whenever a small remembrance is
desired. Before designing them for pres
ents it is we'll TO ascertain first some
particular fad Of the recipients.
For instance, this fad might run into
the grooves represented by a recipe
book, a vacation book. a blueprint
book, or one for clippings. quotations or
anecdotes. The book. then. should be
cleverly adapted 10 that idea, and in
this way II cannot fail 10 give pleas
ure
The books are all made relatively the
same, irrespective Of the decorating
which furnishes the distinctive mark.
For the leaves use a thin cardboard or
heavy weighted paper, and for the COW
ers flexible leather, mounting cardboard

dimensions and Of the required size for
the work they are 10 form. Lay them
evenly together, with theI covers in
place, and have several eyelet holes
punched at the left hand side. Where
patent fasteners are used three holes
are sufficient, one IN the center and one
az each end. IL requires four for thread
ing IN ribbon, TWO In the center, about
an inch apart, and one az either end.
The decorating of the covers should be
done before they are fastened in place.
Devices IN typography are appropriate
Tor the leather. while all kind of brush
and pencil designs can be used on the
cardboard and celluloid. The pasteboard
furnishes foundations for embroidered
chamOis or cloth covers. In the needle
work use pure white linen, with suitable
cOlors for the daintieT productions, and
denims. tickings, chanois, and COlOred
art linens for more practical purposes.

Transparent collar bands of lace or in
