ALIEN INVASION OF CAN
Figures of Yearly immigration Are
Enormous,

The Canadian authorities estimates
the total immigration into Canada up
to June 80, the figures for June and
May not being final, at las, POI, as
against 130,330 for the preceding ifs
cal year. In proportion to population
this is equivalent to an immigration of
about two millions into the United
States, or twice the volume the Re
public is actually receiving. 1t repre-
sents a foreign dilution of the popu-
lation of Canada by two and one-half
per cent. of its total amount, and if
it were maintained on the same scale
1t would eventually submerge the ma
tive Canadians in & foreign majority.
The evidence of Mr.. w. D. Scott, i'm
migration superintendent, and DR.. P.
H. Bryce, chief medical inspector, be-
fore a parliamentary committee con-
veys the rather surprising informa-
ton that Canada Sits her immigrants
more carefully than the United States.

! Paris City Of Pleasure |

Especial Correspondence

There are, as it. we're, ever so
many cities united in Paris, the cities
of pleasure, work, art and beauty but
taken as a whole, it is above all the
city of the living. City of the living,
because there people have the joie de
vivre and Live and let live is the
golden rule.
Paris is overlooking with life; there
does not seem to be a spot one might
call dead The bou1evards, of course
are always crowded; the continuous
chain of pedestrians is there both day
and night In the morning it is the
throng of wage-earners, the school
boys in black aprons and leather
belts, the ouvrieres without hats, the
plodding workingman in his blue
blouse hurrying past. But it is not
the worried, pushing crowd of an
American city; it is a bright and hap
Ply crowd, full of the joy of living
and bent on doing it's work in the
most cheerful manner possible.
Later on in the day it is the people
of leisure who sit down in a cafe for
some time and in the evening it is

The Oldest diary in existence is said
to be that preserved in the japanese
family of Hozaka- 1t has been duly
maintained by the various heads of
the family for four centuries. An
English commentator notes that about
twenty years ago dispute over prec-

the family and that this was promptly
settled by recourse to the diary and
the discovery of the record of a din
ner given 200 or 300 years ago by the
head Of the family to the founder of

Sweden's Good Financial Position.
Judging by the position of Sweden's
banks, that country must be in good
condition financially. At the close of
1904 Sweden had sixty-nine banks in
good working order. The aggregate
capital was 100000, 900, as against
S5.000,OO0 in 1903 and SIS 1000, 900 in
1902. In addition The banks held very
large reserves. The trade of the coun-
try is moving so rapidly that quite re-

serves to the extent of SIS, 000,O 900, be-
sides the capital increase. Last year
the average bank dividend was go per
cent. These figures show that the
commerce and Industries of the coun-
try are in good shape to stand tilt
with Norway.
The prices commanded by Swedish
government bonds in the principal
money markets of the world show
that the State finances are also in
good shape.

he had big alarm clock fastened to

Two years ago in a speech before

late John Hay facetiously traced his

my law in Springfield, Ill, and my pol
itics in Washington, my diplomacy in
Europe. Asia and Africa. 1 have

room in the District of Columbia.
When 1 look to the springs from which
my blood descends the first ancestors
ever heard of were a Scotchman
who was half English and a German
woman who was half French Of my
immediate progenitors, my mother
was from New England and my father
was from the south. In this bewilder-
ment of origin and experience 1 can
only put on an aspect of deep humiI-
ity in any gathering of favorfte sons.

FROM SAME BOX
Where the Foods Come From


LOOK here, waiter, honest now,
don't you dip every one of these faxed
breakfast foods out of the same box?"
We'll. yes. boss, we duz, all 'cept
Grape-Nuts, cause that don't look like
the others and people know zackly
what Grape-Nuts looks like. But
there's bout a dozen different ones
named on the bill of fare and they are
all thin rolled fakes so it don't make
any difference which one a man calls
for, we just take out the order from
one box"
This talk led to an investigation.
Dozens of factories sprung up about
three years ago, making various kinds
OF breakfast foods, seeking to take the
business of the original prepared
breakfast food-Grape-Nuts These
concerns after a precarious existence,
nearly all failed, leaving thousands of
boxes of their foods in mills and ware
houses. These were in several in
stances bought up for song by spec
ulators and sold out to grocers and
hotels for little or nothing. The proc
ess of working of this old stock has
been slow. One will see the names
on menus of faxed foods that went
out of business year and half or
Two years ago. In a lew cases Wnero
the abandoned factories have been
bought up, there is an effort to resus-
citate the defunct, and by copying the
style of advertising of Grape-Nuts,
seek to influence people to purchase.
But the public has been educated to
the fact that all these thin faxed
foods are simply soaked wheat or oats
rolled thin and dried out and packed.
They are not prepared like Grape
Nuts, in which the thorough baking
and other operations which turn the
starch part of the wheat and barley
into sugar, occupy many hours and re-
suit in food SO digestible that small
infants thrive on it, while it also con-
tains the selected elements of Phos-
phate of Potash and Albumen that
unite in the body to produce the soft
gray substance in brain and nerve
centers. There's a reason for Grape
Nuts, and there have been many imi-
tations, a few of the article itself, but
many more of the kind and character
of the advertising. Imitators are all
ways counterfeiters and their printed
and written statements cannot be ex-
pected to be different than their
goods

Ine tnedtergOerS, the seekers of amuSe-

and the Rue Royale
The Latin Quarter.
So much has been written about the
Latin quarter that it seems purely
folly to mention it again, but never
theless it must be said that it is one
of the most interesting parts of Paris.
There is such a potpourri of all ele-
ments-religious and atheistic-idle-
ness. and pleasure and hard work
Ihere are ever SO many churches in
the quarter; it seems to swarm with
them The prettiest, without doubt
is the st. Etienne du Mont, but one of
the most interesting is probably the
Eglise de la Sorbonne. 1t is closely
connected with the university and NAV
be regarded as the students church.
The walls are almost entirely covered
with slabs expressing thanks to the
Virgin for having granted good exami-
nations The Latin quarter has its
share of converts also; there is one
in almost every street. On the other
hand, it is full of atheists. nihilists
and anarchists. They have their meet
ing places all over it, too although
one does not discern them very easily.
And certainly the numerous schools.
libraries and museums prove it to be
one of work, while the numberless

The Sorbonne and the Students
The Sorbonne is the center of the
students life and, of course, a great
many anecdotes could be told about
it. Being a very old institution
founded. by Richelieu in 1629-it has
kept up good many of the ancient
customs When a person passed an
examination at the Sorbonne long ago
the examiners were supposed to wear
robes, and to repay them for their
trouble and expense, each candidate
had to pay two francs CONNIE dro,ts
de robe The Sorbonne has now
been modernized and the professors
no longer appear in robes, but still
the candidates have to pay their fee.
An amusing incident is told about
a rather impertinent boy who went up
for his B. A. there. The time for the
oral examinations had come and one
OF the professors asked the boy ques-
tion- He received no answer The pro-
lessor questioned him again, but with
the same result Finally, the boy was
asked what he was waiting for. He
answered pertly: 81 am waiting for
you to put your robe on. Until then
l refuse to answer" The professor
looked at him haughtily and said,
pointing to the door: There is al
ways plenty of room outside my boy"
The Sorbonne is entirely free One
does not have to pay cent to hear
the very best lectures given by the
greatest celebrities. Although a great
many well-to-do people listen to con-
ferences at the sorbonne it is only
when the American professor lectures
that wealth pours in Then all the
automobiles and fine carriages ap-
pear; the Rue de la Sorbonne and the
Rue des Ecoles are filled by the num-
erous equipages. One wonders why
Americans always go 10 hear lectures
about America, but probably it is OF
account of their patriotic feeling.
Joys of the Cafe.
A great comfort in Paris is that one
can sit outside a cafe and watch peo-
pie pass. One does not have to walk
all the time like as over here; you
can sit calmly down and watch other
people pass. And that is a very great
comfort, particularly on a hot day.
Although the French do not believe
in keeping Sunday as a holiday, still
they believe in utilizing every occa-
sion offered them by the church feasts
to make merry on, such as Mardi-Gras,
Mi-Careme. Presumption, without
counting the fetes at St. Cloud, Neu-
lily and ST. German. During the fetes
the streets are filled with booths
where pain d'epice is sold and where
different games are played
Women go to tea rooms about as
men go to cafes. There are several
very fashionable ones, most of them
near the Rue de Rivoli, and others in |
