Foreign "undesirables. ;,

Not a few Britons will read with envy
the official statistics just published at
Washington showing the manner in
which foreign undesirables are dealt
with in the United States, comments
London paper of recent date. Last year
very nearly 5000 of these unwelcome
guests were shut out from American
hospitality, while ;79 others who had
previously gained admission were re-
turned to their native countries as unfit
for American citizenship. The rejected
included paupers, physically diseased
persons There were 1.560 of these incom-
petents), convicts, the insane and imbe-
ciles-in short, an exceedingly miscel-
Ianeous assortment of human rubbish,
which. If allowed to land. must have, as
in England, proved an intolerable bur-
den to the Indigenous population. But
there is far more room In the United
States than in our cramped and over
crowded isles for continental riffraff.
Last year the great republic accepted
and digested over three-quarters of
million of desirable immigrants from
European utter impossibility, Of
course, for the United Kingdom. But
with all this readiness to receive really
valuable labor from the old world,
Washington most rightly draws the line
sharply against importations of detri-
mental additions to the industrial popa-
lation. At the present moment there
would not be nearly so much distress in
London were 1t not for the continuous
infiowing of the poor, needy wretcbes
who lower the standard of living and
the wage market in the unskilled labor
market.

Americas Greatness.

To my view, what makes the greatness
Of the United States among the nations
Is less its tremendous economic develop
ment than its political institutions and
its consciousness of liberty in every field
of action and life This comes back to
saying that what has made its greatness
II less the country itself than the men
who inhabit it, writes M. Anatole Leroy
Beaulieu in the Worlds Work. In this
sense one might say that it is the Ameri-
can who has made America, although
between the Atlantic and the Pacific, as
elsewhere, there was a mutual influence
of men on the land, and land on men.
But as great as this last was, the first
seems to have been even more powerful,
and this is one Of the causes, which,
from my point Of view, bring about the
originality and the superiority of the
United States. The causes of its sue
cess and of its greatness are not merely
material causes due to the generosity
OF nature toward it. They are, above all
others, moral causes. due to the char
acter, the education, the energy and the
spirit Of enterprise Of Americans.

Senator Money tells story of the
tribute a Mississippi minister recent
ly paid to the press The town in
which his parish was located had been
visited within short space of time
by several catastrophes, all of which,
with narrowing details, had been duly
exploited in the local papers. The cler-
gyman was moved to make the mis-
fortunes of his townsmen subject of
prayer. He knelt In the presence of
his congregation and began: 20, Lord,
doubtless Thou hast learned through the
papers of our recent Affections"

HOW TO WASH WooLENs.


Many unfortunates are suffering the
discomforts of poorly washed, shrinking
"flannels.'
1t is certainly trying to one who must
wear them TO be forced to submit to the
slow but sure running of woolens, but
this is what happens to most of them in
the hands of the ordinary washer
woman.
laundress that is ignorant and settled
in her ways cannot be taught, but with
a reasonably intelligent woman, willing
to take advice, the wearer of woo]ens, il
she knows how they need be handled in
the wash, can give instructions that will
result in well-kept undergarments
bound to last at least two winters.
The secret consists in keeping the
fiber OF the wool uninjured 1t must
not have the natural oil boiled out OF
1t, nor must the fibers be broken by
hard twisting when being wrung by
hand. There is no reason why wooden
undergarments should not be washed
as often as any others, but they must
not be left in the water or in a wet
state any longer than is necessary, for
1t is wetting that shrinks them. So
fiannels must never be boiled nor put
into boiling water. Neither must they
be soaked before washing, as are linens
and cottons. The less they are rubbed
the better. Rubbing wool knots the
hairs and hardens the surface.
They must not be dried very near the
fire. nor in very fierce sunshine. This
shrinks them.
They need not be ironed, but can be
pulled into shape.
WOOlens should be washed and hung
out to dry as quickly as possible. Leav-
ing them lying about in heaps, wet,
shrinks them.
Only the best of soap is fit to be used.
Soda destroys wool, and is largely put
into poor soaps. Four ounces of pure
make to gallon of water will produce
a strong cleansing solution. Shred the
soap thinly into tub and pour the boil
ing water over it. Do not put in the
f1annels until the soap has dissolved,
and the mixture is cool enough to bear
the hand comfortably.

Spring Migration of Birds.

Cold as is February, it is the begin
ming of various life-interests OF spring

rive, beginning at the middle of tbs
month, are the woodcock, purple

blackbird, phoebes and several others.
The list varies in different rlacea

room which the girl musician used as
her studio. The door was locked. When
broken open the woman was found upon
the floor with poniard in her throat.
The character of the knife became at
once important. Its blade curved like a

hats, yet there are busy hours in the
millinery shops and many milliner Is
getting ready to trim her spring hats
with lace. She is choosing, not the
delicate lace. but the very heavy laces,
and she is using them in such ways that
they serve as bands to go around tall

Easter hat will be covered with heavy
lace. Its entire crown will be made
of lace. Yes, and its whole brim!
Coarse lace hats will be the rule.

SIMPLE Home REMEDIES.
In Time of Need knowledge of the
Following May Prove of De-
cided Value.


Every housekeeper should possess q
knowledge of simple remedies for the
slight ailments of the household. Those
who know exactly what to do under all
circumstances rarely lose self-control-
and 1t is particularly important for the
mother of a family to know what RENE
dies to apply in case of accidents and
emergencies, and to have such on hand.
The Boston Budget says the following
are reliable:
For burns, linseed oil, glycerin and
borax water, mixed together and freely
applied, will be found efficacious. A
dressing made of powdered borax moist
ened with cold water will prevent pain or
Inflammation.
For black eye cloth wrung ont of
warm water and applied frequently will
prevent soreness and discoloring of the
skin.
Bleeding froN the nose may bo
stopped by holding the hands over the
head and putting ice to the nose and back
of the head.
For toothache, mix equal parts of alum
and powdered borax
For accidental poisoning, vomiting
should at once be produced to eject ths
poison from the stomach Mustard. salt
water. weak borax water or an active
emetic will any of them produce the de-
sired effect.
Bee stings, mosquito or gnat bites may
all be relieved by bathing in borax wa

Brush the teeth with a moderately
stiff brush, dipped in this, which will
cleanse and whiten the teeth.

In conclusion, let me say just word
about the use of the so-called breath
perfumes" which are on the market.
This practice is an extremely vulgar
one, indeed. An unpleasant odor of
the breath, in the absence of decayed
or unclean teeth, is usually Cue to
some digestive disturbances. 1t may
also be one of the symptoms of grave
diseases of the lungs or upper cir pas
sages. Always seek the advice of a
physician regarding the cause of this
condition.
1t should be the practice of every
one to have the teeth thoroughly ex-
amined by a reliable dentist at least
twice a year. The decay of a tooth is
at first such slow and quiet process
that we do not know of it until in
most cases much damage has been
done.
