Alarmed 0y er immigration.

Washington, D. c., May 15.-
A feeling little short of alarm has
seized government officials as
they contemplate the remarkable
increase of immigration. For
many years the leaders in con-
gress have been working to shape
some sort of legislation which
would curtail the annual influx.
Much stress was laid on the
educational test as a means Of
excluding the undesirable i'm
migrants who come for the most
part from Italy, Austro-H ungary
and the Russian and Polish Jew
ish section.
The analysis Of the character
Of immigration that is now COM
ing to this country shows that
the greater percentage is made of
these classes, which have in the
past contributed to anarchy and
social disorder.
1t is now apparent, say the I'M
migration officers, that the total
number of immigrants this year
will exceed a million. 1t was
claimed for the late immigration
law, passed by the Fifty eighth
congress that it had solved the
problem of checking undesirable
immigration,

Shortens Life.

Or. Newsholine, of Brighton. Eng
land, discussed the effects of the use
of alcohol on the prosperity of insur-
ance sickness societies among artisan
clubs, He found two Of the most i'm
portant factors of the sickness and
mortality of these clubs were tuber-
culosis and alcoholism. Twelve per
cent. of the funds of these societies
was expended upon cases Of Wberc0-
Iosls. The sickness that came from
alcoholism was ascribed to SO many
cause that DC deductions could be
made. 1t was found in the mortality
lists that over 30 per cent. was direct
ly attributed to the use of alcohol. He
argued that moderate drinking in al
most any degree diminished longevity
and increased sickness rates.

His Habit of Prayer.

"As far back as I can remember" said
a wise and good man, Il had the habit
of thanking God for everything | re-
ceived. ard of asking Him for every
thing | wanted. If | lost my book, or
any of my playthings, l prayed that
might find it. | prayed walking along
the streets, in school or out Of school,
whether playing or studying. | did this
because it seemed natural to do 80. I
thought of God as everywhere present,
full Of kindness and love, Who would
not be offended if children talked to
Him
That man was DR.. Charles Hodge. the
distinguished scholar and preacher.
How happy all children would be IL
they were to talk with God as their
father, which he did as a child. and
have also the habit of t%hanking God!
Too often when u prayers are an
swered we forget to give God thanks.

DISEASES OF SMOKERS.
The Penalty Which Is Paid for the
Excessive Use of To-
bacco.

Smoking to excess leads to some of the
most serious diseases to which the eyes
are subject. One OF the mildest of these
mas color blindness as a result, and it
may be traced to the fact that those suf-
.ering from it gradually cease to rec
ognize varying tints, until they can make
out blue only. At last, if the disease is
unchecked, they lose perception of that
color also.
Tobacco "amblyopia" is a further de-
velopment of the same trouble, in which
the sufferer ceases to distinguish form,
as we'll as color, and excessive smokers
Of heavy black twist are peculiarly sus-
ceptible to this. Sailors smoke such
twist largely, and its use has even been
leld to account for collisions at sea, be-
cause the lookout men were under its
influence. Persistence in this habit may
lead to total blindness.

HE COULD CLIMB.
Workman in an Elevator Shaft Fur
nishes Text for Sermon to
Young Men.

A man working on an elevator was
telling his experiences as a workman
in one Of the large skyscrapers. He
said that he could begin working in this
shaft at the bottom. and go on up, slow
ly. climbing as the work progressed,
but that he could not go in at the top
and begin working. The height was
too great to begin there; yet he a no
difficulty if he worked his way up in
the shaft. 1t was a striking illustra-
ton OF a great truth that few young
people appreciate. Most of us want to
go in at the top somewhere, and begin
to work. Not all of us are willing to
go in at the bottom and work our way
up. One of the reasons why some young
men have fallen is because they went in
at the top where their fathers were
working, and tried to work in the same
way. Perhaps they sought only the
easy places at the top, places which
others had reached by hard working
and climbing, and they could not stand
the height-so they fell to the bottom.
1t is a good thing to reach the top in
anything; but it is not a good thing TO
be carried there and placed in position
without having the experience Of climb
ing by slow degrees, until the top is
reached. Hard work has its advantage
in this, that it furnishes a place to stand
on in time of promotion; it steadies one
when he reaches the tOp.-Seryice.

Everything Is looking rather gloomy
here on account Of the high stage Of
the river at this place. Red river is
out OF its banks and tllree-fourths of
the entire crops are under water. and
the river still rising at this writing.
People are moving out and all stock
IL now lerded on the highest knobs,
with little or no feed. Government
aid Is needed. Last year we made a
short crop of cotton and corn on ac-
count of wet weather, which caused
the cotton to shed everything but
the hall grown boIls. Then on top
of that the entire crop of cotton was
sold at half price. which left two
thirds of the people In debt to start
with.
With the overflow and a crop lost
the people are bound to suffer unless
assistance from some source is re-
ceiyed. The people here are now Nv
ing on half rations, with hardly any
way to make a dime. This writer
does not need any assistance himself,
but requests that something be done
for the more unfortunate.
Yours very respectfully,

Steamer Carter Sinks,

Last Saturday night while going

Alexandria, the steamer H. NJ. Carter
struck one Of the bridge piers which
caused her to sink. The boat became

current. causing her to strike the
bridge pier about midway the boat
AS soon rs the accident happened.
Capt. Carter saw the boat was sink
ing and ordered her put toshore, and
the pilot steered to the Pineville side
Of the river. where the passengers and
crew escaped by the gang plank. No
lives were lost, and the freight loss
was light as the boat was not heav-
i;y loaded.
The Carter Is now resting on sand
bar with nearly all her cabin out OF
the water. and rs soon as the river
falls low enough an attempt will be
made to float her, as the owners say
the damage is not great enough to
put her entirely out Of commission.
