that record is beaten by this time. But for little time at least it stood, and the people in Ellis island worked 4S hours to get rid of them.
 No business was ever more systema- tized than this letting people into the country. They pass slowly along be- tween long railings in single file. The eye-doctor looks for half second under each uplifted eyelid for traces of sar- coma. The general inspection for vac cination marks and against disease has already been undergone twice, and in some cases three times. A wave of the hand turns an applicant aside into the detention pen" to be decided upon la ter. and perhaps sent home at the cost of the steamship company. Fewer are sent back than you might think. The money test is not conclusive. A feeble person with money is looked upon less favorably than strong young fellow with three dollars by way of worldly wealth.
 l After all that is said about the admis- sion of undesirables. most of the new corners are pretty good people This is the unanimous testimony of those that deal with them. Italians are making our railroads; Hungarians are digging | most of our coal; Slovaks, near by at least, are doing much of our farm work. The average ship-load is composed of healthy looking people whose fresh com plexions put to shame the city-mured folk that jeer at them.
 In reading the late F. L. Olmstead's . account of the border slave state. writ ten before the war. came upon an ex- pgession had not heard for years: Dumb Irishman." It meant an immi. grant Irishman fresh from oil the ship who had not yet yearned to talk English, and who-this part was pathetic-vas yet weak and tremulous from the COZ. nnement and privations of the voyage and could not work well until heartened by food.

For. merly the masons were largely Irish or Scottish by birth, the carpenters German and native American. Nowadays the Hebrew carpenter and the Italian mason are very common. The native American in the building trades is in small mi nority. Consider the case of recent i'm. migrant, not yet citizen, who is draw. ing as a skilled mason 70 cents an hour, or $5.60 a short day-and that is the new scale for the new year-let him write to his old neighbcrs of this fact. and some of them are pretty apt to come and look him up-if they can believe his story!
 One natural result is that both the Italian and the Hebrew get to owning city real estate, the most profitable kind of property just at present. They begin in small way, subletting part of tene- ment. Then comes chance in the di- vision of an estate to buy tenement with g little ready money, giving heavy sec ond mortgage Prodigies of thrift pay this on in part and enable the owner to take on another. He lives in one of the tenements and has his watchful eye upon the whole.
 The Hebrew has another reason for buying land. He is an intense individu- alist. As Dr. Blaustein has explained, he wouldn't dream of buying stock in cor poration. He wants something he can pee As result, he didn't get caught in Steel common in 1903, but bought land; and land went up. Of late a flood of 100000 Jews has poured over into Brook lyn. In the parts they occupy the price of land has risen threefold. They are themselves the buyers. For years the old owners of land at the Brooklyn end of the new Williamsburg bridge have been selling out, afraid of the "deteriora- tion of the district" Now that the East Siders can see the bridge actually fin- ishad, they have arrested the downward tendency of prices and shot them up again. If I'd simply held on I'd have been $6,0OO richer" mournfully said to me the former owner of rather modest little home in this forlorn but now boom ing region.

unendurable The result of the prospect of peace in the building trades was to start plans for $50, ,OOo. GOO worth of build- ings all at once. have sometimes al- luded jocularly to the poor men's apart ment houses, such as Charley" Schwab and "Alf" Vanderbilt live in, where by a little judicious search you can find a few plain rooms renting at only $16,000 a year. But it is no joke to the man who Is really poor or merely well-to-do. The cid NewYeFk rule was that man might spend one-Quarter of his income for rent. That was bad enough in all conscience, but many now spend one-third or more.
 Why? Ask the man, and he will tell you he has to do it. Perhaps he is right. The first necessity to him is room to live among cultured people and in surround ings not unhealthful. fine is fairly pros- porous he may wish sunshine to fall upon his rooms once day. These things cost money. His food, his clothing. need cost little if any more than in the smallest village. His rent, if he be an educated man in professional life, or moving among professional people, will not cost less than q, 900 year. He cannot on Manhattan island find a place to live among his kind for less money. This is the literal truth. What may seem in the description like pronigacy is really the result of careful weighing of necessities. Considerably less than $1 900 a year, either in rent or in carrying charges as an owner, will provide home in Brook lyn, or in nearby New Jersey. Add the vast clearing of great spaces upon Man. hattan island, the conquest of residence districts by trade. and is 1t . wonder that the suburbs grow; and that within 50 miles of New York's city hall in three states are living 5000. 900 people?
 With such wages as have quoted building is expensive. but-it's cheaper than living in Manhattan!

 Do not plant corn in wet ground, as you are very likely to have the work to do over again.
 Good ears of corn, according to the expert judge of corn. are few. Uniformi- ty has not been as yet bred into any of our varieties sufficiently to give large percentage of uniform ears in crop.
 It is impossible to exhaust the fer tility of the world. but we may by careless methods change it around so that it will take till our grandchildren's day to get some of it back into a posi- tion where it may be used.

Sheen with Swelled Ears.

This condition is due to a disease known as erysipelas, and should be treated by washing the ears with warm water and soap They must then be protected by a wrapping of soft cloth, kept wet with solution of hyposul- phite of soda or sulphate of zinc. It would be advisable to keep the sheep in a yard or pasture where there are no briars, says the Midland Farmer. In- jury by briars is very frequent cause of the trouble when sheep so hurt are neglected.

 The Italians are among the best farm CTS of Europe, and they are no strangers to hot climate From everywhere in the south that they have gone comes the same story: They raise more cotton on small piece of ground than negroes can; they make better use of the small allot- ments of garden soil about their little houses.
