We have stopped the Importation of

recent years." says Commissioner Of
Immigration Sargent practically all
the large cities have scores of boot
backing establishments filed with
bright-eyed Greek lads Of from u to IS
years. These we're all brought over here
by a European syndicate. But we have
broken up the business We reject
these lads now on the ground that they
are under age, unaccompanied by their
parents and liable to become public
charges through sickness or other all
ments. We satisfied ourselves that the
boys were coming here for the purpose
of opening bootblacking shops, and not
to go to school and secure Quotations
1t was not desirable to increase the
population with this class of material,
and we shut gown on them. We were
also satisfied that the boys were under
| the control of some kind Of organiza-
ton or syndicate. for as soon as We be
gan to reject them the tide Of immigra'
ton suddenly stopped"

Eleven head of Galloway cattle from
Missouri have been sent to Alaska by
the government to begin an experiment
in stock-raising In that northern dis
trict. They will be kept near Cook In
let, to the northward Of which for two
hundred miles lies the Susitna Valley.
The valley is nearly as broad as 1t Is
long, and is covered with rich grasses,
redtop and bluestem, which grow luxu-
riantly In summer. Salt-grass and
bunch-grass, which is an excellent win
ter food, also are abundant There
are already some Jersey cattle for dali
~ purposes at Kenai, but they require
too much care to be Of use for general
stock-raising. The Galloways will be
crossed with famous butter-making
strains, in the hope of producing a
hardy breed which can withstand the
Alaskan climate and develop a profit
able industry.

M. FaIIieres,s umbrcIla.

The new French President is deep
ly attached to his umbrella, which
accompanies him ON every occasion,
and Is likely from now on to become
a favorite subject for French politi-
cal caricaturists, much like the collar
of Gladstone, or the monocle of Mr..
Chamberlain. The only other chief
of State who has ever been given to
umbrellas was King Louis Philippe,
who rarely was seen without one and
in whose hands 1t took the place of
both scepter and sword. Yet in spite
Of this analogy OF tastes, 1t was M.
Fallieres who, as Premier, was re-
sponsible for the expulsion from
France of King Louis Philippe's
grandson, the late Comte de Paris,
and of the Due d'Orleans.

Treated the Hospitals.

The London Hospital has distribu-
ted automatic collecting boxes. with
hand indicating the collection
made, and the statement that do
nation of one penny keeps the hos
pital for one second. In the bar of
an East End public house, one of
these London Hospital collecting
boxes attracted the attention Of a
crowd of sailors who had Just been
paid off. With great delight they
started putting pennies in the slot.
An elderly man, who looked like a
bosun, was one of the crowd, and he
watched the proceedings with drunk
en- solemnity. Having obtained Ave
shillings In coppers, he approached
the collecting box. Boys" said he,
don't be too speedy. Take 1t easy.
Change yer money an crowd her up
to 910, If she'll hold It,. See, its like
this. There's 240 pennies In quid.
At penny a second that keeps the
show goin' for four minutes. Now,
mates continued the old man, for
ty minutes is time enough for a
square feed, an well make our for
ty minutes the dinner time for the
hospitals, tomorrow, SO as to get
full vally. I've been in hospitals, an
l knows the ways ON 'em. We'll treat
the horspital to to-morrows's din
ner." And they did.

Senses of Insects.

Concerning the ordinary senses
of insects comparatively little is
known. Most of them certainly see
well, the eyes of many species being
far more elaborate than those of hu-
man beings. The eyes of common
house flies and dragon flies are be-
lieved to be better fitted than the hu-
man eye for observing objects in mo-
tion though these creatures are short
sighted
1t may be reasonably supposed
that insects possess taste, judging
from the discrimination that they
exercise in the choice of their food.
That they have smell is matter of
common observation and has been
experimentally proved by Sir John
Lubbock and others. Most insects
seem to be deaf to the sounds which
are heard by human beings.
At the same time there Is no ques-
tion that they produce sounds and
hear sounds that are entirely beyond
our own range of auditory percep-
ton. Sir John Lubbock said that we
Cdu hO iuolO iOi III dh i0Cb VI shSoo
sounds than we should have been
able to conceive notion of red or
green II the human race had been
blind. The air Is doubtless often
vocal with the sounds made by in
sects of so high pitch as to be en-
tirely out of range of mans power to
hear.
Certain senses in insects appear
to be beyond comprehension. The
neuters among the ants known as
"termites" are blind and can have
no sense of light in their burrow-
ings; yet they will reduce a beam Of
wood or an elaborate piece of furni-
ture to a mere shell without once
gnawing through to the surface.
An analogy is found among mann
mails. A bat In a lighted room,
though blinded as to sight, will fly
In all directions with great swiftness
and with infallible certainty Of
avoiding concussion or contact with
any object. 1t seems to be able to
feel at distance.

The king Got a tumble.

When the present king of Spain
was only four years old, he was one
day going down staircase In the
palace unattended. At the same time
a footman was going up, and of
course he stepped aside to let the
little king pass. Just as he did SO.
Alfonso tripped, and would have fall
len. with serious results, perhaps, II
tn, footman had not rushed forward
and caught him. The Queen Regent,
Alfonso's mother. was very grateful
to the footman, but all that she
could do could not prevent the foot
mails dismissal, because 1t is an In
exorable law of Spanish court eti-
quette that only grandee has a
right to touch the sacred person Of
the king. Better let fall break the
kings leg, or even his neck. than
break the law OF etiquette. Queer.
isn't II?

Wrong Side Of the Door.

At the commencement exercises of
one of our large colleges a prominent
lawyer had been asked to address the
graduates, Being very busy about
that time, he neglected to give any
thought to the subject of his dis
course. On arriving at the hall where
the exercises were held he was still
at loss for a topic. In passing
through large swing door which led
into the hall itself the word Push"
painted on the. ,door happened to
catch his eye. Like fash 1t occurred
TO- him that here, was text that he
could use very appropriately. When
his turn came to speak he arose and
addressed the audience In som,what
the following manner.
Young gentlemen, the subject OF
my little talk with you this morning
can be expressed IN one short word;
It Is thing that is especially appli-
cable to you young men. who. in one
line or another are going out into
life to make your way. 1t Is q thing
without which no man IL sure OF at
tanning success. Gentlemen, ON yon-
der door Is the word refer to-"
Every eye in the room immediate
U glanced toward the door indicated,
hut on the inside the word Pull
was plainly painted. The laughter
and applause which followed were
nearly deafening, and II was some
time before he could explain his
statement.

EGGS ARE cupIp,s sIEssENaERs.
Western Girls Write Names ON EN-
and Invite Correspondence.


and Invite Correspondence.
Perhaps the queerest way of ad-
vertising for matrimonial purposes Is
that of placing names and addresses
on eggs. During each year there are
upwards of 100000 cases of eggs re-
ceived In Denver from Kansas, Me-
braska, Oklamhoma, Texas and Col
orado points, and It is safe to say
that $4,000 names and addresses Of
women and men with matrimonial
intentions are found in the cases.
Kansas holds the record for hav-
ing the most eligibles. Hardly case
of eggs received from Kansas but
has from one to dozen names of
young women desirous of corre-
Intentions.
Those who are out for fun can
get all they want and many of the
commission men make considerable
sport OF 1t. One fellow answered a
young woman at Berthoud, Col. The

The answer came by return mail.
This is the way the girl described
herself: II am IT years old, weigh
165 pounds, feet tall, light hair
and blue eyes," She expressed her
self as glad to have made his ac-
quaintance.
Several letters passed between
them, when the commission man got
curious to know who 1t was that
wrote the address for her. He asked
her in one of his letters, and she
frankly told him that 1t was her
father. ..
Fearing entanglements or a breach
of promise suit, he closed the corre-
spondence.

African elephants cost from $1,000

$1,000. Giraffes are worth about the

account of their scarcity. A fine hip
popotamus may be purchased for
$500. an African lion for s200 to
$500, and lioness for f160 or s1S0,
Bengal tigers are worth from f160

Trading in the wheat pit was quiet

threshed in Minnesota than in any of
the past twenty years. Receipts at
Minneapolis and Duluth continue small.
According TO n message from Winui
peg, however, the movement in Can
ada is being greatly hampered by car
shortage and that stocks AT country
stations arc piling up fast.
The market received some support
