This year a new record has been made by the loads of Christmas mail carried by the European steamers from New York, The Cedric sailed on December with practically the first of the Christmas mails. Since that time transatlantic liners have taken away from the port of New York nearly 25o,o00 registered letters and packages. In the Philadel- phia were G0,s31 money orders. repre- senting $7S5. .405, most of which was sent to friends or relatives by immigrants working here. Great Britain, as usual. got the largest amount-$292 ,99S-and most of this was billed to postoftlces in Ireland. To Italy went little more than $91. .OOO. to Germany nearly $75.o00. a similar sum to Sweden. and to Hun gary and Austria s66, 900 and $6S, ,OOo, re- spectively. The Vaderland carried 7S5 pouches and the Carmania 5SS. Much of this mail was composed of registered letters and parcels, and there were thousands of money orders, nearly all holiday gifts, In addition 7,O45 parcels post packages were carried.
 And so forth and so on. Verify there is fat picking in this country for many, including presidents of insurance com panies, etc.

Here the majority of them are reached either personally or through agents by a man who is ham, cd. who assigns them to boarding houses and has them examined by a local physician. Those suffering from trachona are practically driven to sub init themselves at once to medical treatment, which is usually continued until every cent over and above that required for their steamship ticket to the United States has been taken from them. And it further appears that this treatment is not only protracted so far that it amounts to swindling, but also that the cures" effected are only superficial and designed merely to get the enigrant past the officials at Quarantine and Ellis Island.
 It has long been evident that the United States has not been careful enough about immigration. It is walk ing up now, and such facts as Dr. Ftshberg reports ought to tend to keep it awake.

7 3s- IMPRESSIVE.

The demonstration made the other day in favor of universal suffrage by the Social Democrats in Vienna was an interesting affair. The leaders had for bidden singing or shouting, and. al- though the host numbered 100000 these orders were obeyed. In the neighbor- hood of the Reichsrath building the paraders almost forebore to speak. The police had no occasion to interfere, as the commands of the three thousand stewards appointed by the party lead ers were obeyed without a murmur. The immense Karlsplatz, with the ad- joining Naschmarkt, Schwarzenberg- piatz, Lothringerstrasse and Beethoven Platz were the points selected for the assembling of the different deputations from the twenty-one administrative districts of Vienna and Lower Austrian towns. A map indicated the proper place for every procession. By 9:20 a..
 n., when the hedu OL the main process sion began to move from the schwarz- enbergplatz, the whole of the immense space covered by the squares and streets mentioned was black with work men in their Sunday clothes and red with their flags, banners and badges. Thereafter there was a continuous flow of the human torrent until, p. m. The only difficulty experienced by the stew ards was in dealing with numbers much larger than they had expected, and the only approach to a disturbance occurred at the university, where the German Nationalist students insulted the workmen, but were speedily driven by the latter irto the university build ing and left to sing the 'Wacht am Rhein" under the safe protection of the. heavy university doors.
 The unity of purpose and the good fellowship manifested by the different nationalities made the demonstration extraordinarily impressive.

SNAKE STORIES.
Even India Has This Variety of
 Anecdotes.

Even India Has This Variety of Anecdotes.
 Despite the fact that snakes are so common in India, Europeans do not see much of them unless their duties call them out into the wilder districts. Like
 most wild things, they are desperately anxious to avoid human beings, and with good reasons since a white man always kills a snake at sight. And so, after twenty years passed in India, an Englishman may recall the discovery, l on two or three occasions, of snake within his house, in to which it has crept for shelter from the rain; he has, perhaps, a dozen times come across one coiled up beside pathway, and ! there his experience of them ends. Yet he must constantly have been close to ! them; a family of corbras, perhaps, has inhabited his compound unknown to him; and there may have been snakes in the very thatch of his bungalow. The official reports for 8 recent year gave the number of deaths from snake
 bite throughout India as 2, 900. No doubt in the remoter districts natives often report the deaths of their rela- Eives as having been due to snake bite in order to avoid the troublesome in- quiries which they detest: and, all evil, dence having been carefully destroyed, it is impossible to arrive at the truth. Occasionally, too, 8 reported death from this cause is in reality a case of murder. But after making all deduc- tion, the number of persons killed every year by snakes is enormous. This is caused partly by the fanatical dislike which the ordinary native has for kill ing, or even interfering with, any wild creature, and partly by the common habit of going about with feet and legs
 bare. I have myself seen a native
 soldier walk boldly into 8 patch of
 grass in my compound to drive out a
 oorbra which had been seen to glide into it. The fact that his legs were
 bare to the knee did not cause him the
 slightest hesitation. Fortunately, he
 did not meet the snake.
 It is commonly reported, though with
 what truth I do not know, that natives
 sometimes adopt particularly diaboli-
 cal and ingenious method of getting rid
 of an enemy, in such wise that the
 death shall be correctly attributed to
 snake bite. A smah cobra, or a kaiait
 a snake quite as venomous-is caught
 uninjured, and piece of string is fas-
 tened to it's tail. The string is then run
 through the hollow stem of a bamboo
 just large enough to contain the body
 of the snake, and by it the creature is
 dragged, tail first, inside the cane
