Representative Adams of Pennsylva- mia has hit upon a scheme to restrict immigration. His scheme is certainly simple, and it is as profound as some of the more pretentious schemes. He would just limit immigration from each country to S0,O60 souls per year This restriction would not apply to Canada, Mexico or Cuba, nor to persons seeking admission temporarily in the pursuit of business. The practical result of this law would be to affect only three coun- tries. But they are the three countries that are sending hordes to our shores every year. and the great outpouring from which is responsible for most of the agitation in favor of restrictive laws. The three nations that would be affected are Austria Hungary, Rus sia and Italy. The first-named coun- try last year sent POS, 900 immigrants to the United States; Italy sent 2S0,0OO, and Russia sent 1S9,00O. They are the only nations that sent to our shores more than 10000 immigrants last year. Therefore the enactment of this legis- lation would simply mean that the im- migration from those countries of Europe would be very materially cut down. while the door would still be left open to the people whom we are anxious to receive. It is esti- mated that the adoption of this simple proposition would reduce immigration about sOO.OO0 year.
 This looks easy, and it may find fla vor. With such a law in force we should still have immigrants enough,

Booth says that on the night to which reference has been made the Salvation Army shelters. which charge two pence or three pence. were packed. and were obliged to turn away five hundred applicants. Many of them, doubtless. had to remain on the streets. Hundreds, of course, were absolutely penniless, He argues that some sort of public pro- vision ought to be made for these out casts. some arrangement by which they could get shelter in exchange for some sort of work. According to his estimate it would cost about s5oO,OOO to provide and support permanent shelters for 1000 homeless and penniless folk.

Some very smart people yesterday found the cotton of commerce. or the cotton of speculation. as explosive and shattering as gun-cotton. Daniel J. sully & Co.. who have been swelling up at dangerous rate lately. busted" yesterday. and great was the sound and many the fragments. l. is the old story. It was once remarked by wise man that 1t is comparatively easy to create corner. but after the corner is created there is the corpse to dispose of. Men who have money and nerve. or recklessness, can buy market to a standstill. but it isn't so easy to dis pose of the remains. People aren't all ways ready to buy from them when they want to sell. or are forced to sell, and so there are such collapses as came yesterday.
 It is hard to tell how much good or bad sully and his crowd have done. The South has had an uncommonly high price for it's cotton and some specula- tors have, we suppose. made money out of the rise. But cotton manufacturing has been disturbed, artificial conditions have been created. and now there is trouble in many places. The big cotton corner and the big collapse are an inter- esting and important episode of these halcyon and hifalutin days.

the more miraculous. To Weismuller's mind nothing save divine intervention in his hehals can account for the fact that the life was not crushed out of him by one of the many great iron beams which came crashing down about him like sapiings before a tornado
 ''4t was a miracle: that's all-" said Weismuller as he sat in his little kitchen m Troutmon street, his wife and two boys gathered about him, day or two after the disaster.

 On one occasion. was entering a very old orchard, when I heard a loud whistling Of wings. and looking up. saw a pair os mourning doves, flying straight from a large appIetree. and on going up found their partly built nest in wide crotch. within a few feet of the ground. But a more unusual nest to find in an apple-tree was one I found on the Connecticut coast, 9 few years ago. l was visiting colony of green herons in a clump of cedars. Among the evergreens there was large apple tree. and on the top of it there lay the nest and eggs of a green heron.

I tried to shout to them to stop, but I could not utter a sound. That settled it in my mind; was dead, sure enough. Down and still down went faster and faster. Then suddenly l stopped. A crash sounded faintly in my ears. It seemed as if every muscle in my body was be- ing torn out. Then pains shot through me. It was as is a million pins had been driven into me at once.

TO MEET 4 LoNG-FELr W4NE

One branch of the servant-girl prob lem has, it is said, been successfully tackled at Liege, Belgium, where a company is manufacturing hardened crystal dish, which in appearance ciose- ly resembles fine translucent china of uniform shape and manufacture. The resisting power of this ware is due to a special hardening process and to the quality and nature of the crystal used. It not only successfully resists the usual wear and tear, but is almost proof against breakage. A hardened crystal dish can be substituted for a hammer in driving nails into wood, while the same ware can be put into boiling water at a high degree, then plunged into ice water repeatedly, without the least mo- ticeable damage to the dish or plate. Plates, of the usual form, of this hard- ened ware were hurled to the stone floor of warehouse and went bound- ing along the whole length of the build ing without suffering the least damage This same firm makes glassware of the same corresponding resistance.
 Interesting and important. With such ware those who own and use it can look forward with some confidence to the time when 1t will be antique.

 To sall ten stories and live is an ex- 'Derienee vouch-saeed to few men. Frank Weismuller, of No 235 Trouman street, Brooklyn, who, so far as is known. is the only man in this part of the country to pass safely through such a nerve racking experience, says one such event in lifetime is sufficient. Weinsmuller may be accepted as an au- thority. for he is the only man to take the drop from the tenth floor, in the re- cent Hotel Darlington disaster, and come out practically unharmed. Mar vicious as it may seem, Weismuller fell the distance of IT feet from the tenth floor of the uncompleted structure to the street level and escaped with a black eye, lacerated finger, a slight scalp bruise and some body bruises. Not a bone was broken. The fact that this fall was taken in a perfect maze of iron girders renders the escape all

Perhaps the London poor are poorer and more wretched than the poor of any other civilized city. At any rate, they are poor and wretched enough. w. Bramwen Booth of the English Sal vation Army directs public attention to the number of persons within the vast limits of London who find themselves without the means of any kind of nightly shelter. It appears from an in- vestigation made by a committee of the London County Council that on the night of the 18th of January (which was bitterly eold), more than two thousand persons, including women,
 young boys, and girls, were found in the half of London north of the Thames without any other refuge than the streets MT. Booth points out that the regulations for maintaining order in the public thoroughfares are more stringent than formerly, and compel the police to order persons to move on" who appear to be asleep on stairs and under arches, and so on. This drives many of them to strange places Salvation Army officers tell stories of poor wretches driven to seek refuge in open vaults of the ceme- tery, in huge drain pipes, or in open railway trucks. One of them discovered a night wanderer driving borrowed

 distress was asleep. They took turns during the night, one sleeping, the

Havana newspapers are sorrowfully commenting on the number and quanti- ty of revolutionary soldiers claims which they say are being sold to Amer ican and other speculators, who are buying them at from fifteen to twenty per cent. of their face value. One pa- per says that $25O,0OO worth of these claims have been bought by some Americans at Santiago for $5O,OOO. The business. it is alleged, is being done all over the island and it is described as a. disgrace to the Cuban nation. It is pointed out, however, that the soldiers sell their claims of their own free will, but it is argued that harm will be done because the money will be squandered and not spent as'was hoped for the per- nlanent improvement of the island for the benefit of the people.

Levi Streeter, who was one hundred years old on the 18th of last Septenber died at his home in Hinsdale. New Hampshire. the other day. He left one hundred living descendants-six chill dren (out of ten), forty seven grand children and forty-seven great-grand- children. His newspaper biographer says of this Hinsdale patriarch: "He always enjoyed good health, and had charge of the family garden last sum- mer. He was a great pedestrian. His home was at the foot of Mine noun tain, and even up to last summer his greatest delight was to roam in the woods. He spent much of his time in lining wild bees and had obtained tons of honey from their homes in the woods. Always a farmer and a worker in the woods during ehe winter, he seldom availed himself of the use of horse as a means of travel, but went on foot to any distance that he could cover be- tween sunrise and darkness"

Some editors are not afraid to speak or write. their minds about some things. Thus the editor of the Superior (Wisconsin) Clarion-L Ledger writes: T regard Fred Snigger Parker as being one of the most measly little animals that ever came down the political pike. Without either top or bottom or width or breadth-with no more executive abil- ity than my old tom cat-without a thing under heaven to recommend him to the people of this city but glad hand and an oily smile, it seems in- credible to me that the fellow should be considered in connection with the off, fee of mayor for the flicker of mo- nent.
