MILLIONS ARE SENT HOME.
Immigrants from Austria Hungary Sent Over S48, 8,ooo,ooo in
 Ten Years.

The immigrants to the United States from Austria Hungary have sent back to that country in the ten years between 1894 and 1903 more than s4S0o060Q. Of this vast sum the immigrants from Hungary sent back s31 .l32 ,0S0, while those from Austria sent to their rela- tives s169S2. .9S0 In 1894 the amount sent back by the immigrants of both countries was s1.327 .e20 This had grown in 1903 to s1o o556. .000; in fact. there has been a steady increase since 1894.
 In addition to the sums sent into the country through what are known in Austria as home banks" from Amer ica each year. large amount is remit ted through American banks without the intervention of Austrian or Hun gaTian institutions or in cash or posta; money orders. The entire amount re- ceived in Austria Hungary in 1903 from emigrants that had left that country for other countries was s3277S.004.
 T. is estimated that the Italian immi- grants in the United States send back 10 their homes annually sum equal to about s30 GOO 600 An indication of the importance of remittances so made IS found in the business of Italian postal savings banks with savings institutions for Italians In foreign countries But the full amount sent into Italy cannot be kept track of in this way, for it Is well known that considerable amounts are sent in paper money by registered mail or are brought into the country by returning immigrants. Fraudulent banking concerns have caused great losses 10 Italian immigrants. both in this and other countries in the past. These were usually run by Italians. To prevent all this an act was passed
 in Italy in 1901 authorizing the Bank of Naples 10 take charge of remlttances from emisrs nts, thus guaranteeing them safety and regularity in the trans mission of their money. This bank has since established spondenee offices for the management of migrant busI- ness. there being S6 of these offices at the close of 1903 A recent bill in the Italian parliament. providing for the appointment of resident agents in for eign countries to manage the remit taHces of Italians failed to pass.
 Th5s immense amount Of money flow ing into Italy annually from it's emil grants has already had a marked in- tiuenee in improving conditions of liv- ing. especially in southern Italy.

Women Teachers.

A bulletin just issued by the depart ment of commerce, bureau of census of the United States, contains some very interesting information about the in- crease of the female teacher and the decrease of the male teacher in the land. This has been found to be ani- formly true of all sections of the country. While the increase in mum Der of teachers per 1,000 inhabitants has been greater in the United States than in any other country, its tende Icy adopt the female teacher This increase of teachers has doubled in the CH3ted States in two decades, but alill the United States has less teachers accord ing to inhabitants than England, but more than Germany. Italy, Canada and other countries tncomplimentafy to ceratin sections in the south. the ratio of increase in the number of teachers has not kept step with other divisions, but as to the ratio in the increase oi female teachers Is about on a par with any of them. Still the southern states have more male teachers in pro- portion 10 the whole than any see&on. West Virginia has 4S.2 per cent of males which is the highest in he country, and Vermont has Ills, which Is the lowest. II has been found that in the cities the women hold sway to the degree of S0 per cent. while in the country and small towns they are found to the extent of about a per cent

Distinction of Holsters.

The American people are face to face with the possibility of lobster fam inc Reports from the fisheries indi- cate that the seasons catch is small. and the markets show only undeysized specimens In localities along the coast where the holsters once abound ed they are rarely caught The trouble Comes from that reckless spirit ef de strgc,ion which is shown in other dl- rections. The lohsters have been caught and sold without regard to re pleuishing the supply; consequently the most appetz.ng and popular ol shellash may become an extinct sre. cies unless haste is made with pre, ventive measures. Game fish in fresh waters are prosseted by state laws, and the result has been satisfactory. It is urged that the United States as sume charge of the Holsters along it's coasts and by the enactment of laws forbidding the taking of those under a certain size prevent the extermination which is threatened.
