1t is to be observed, however, that
though the absolute number of immigrants
Is greater for the last period than for
either of the others 1t is contribution to
a much larger resident population. The
census of 1850 gave a population OF 23,-
191,S ,S76, that of 1880 gave 50,155, ,7S3, and
that of 1900 gave 76,303,3S7. Hence the
fresh foreign element introduced in the
early '50s was greater in proportion to
the population than the larger immigra-
tion of later years. 1t was SO great that
we have the KnowN Nothing party as one
Of the political phenomena of the times.
The increase of numbers in recent years
Is hardly so remarkable, therefore, as the
change in the character OF the immigra-
tion. Until the present current began the
big immigration had been German, Brit
ish and Irish, and the Scandinavians as
a whole made relatively large showing.
In 1905 the immigration from Austria
Hungary was 275,693; Italy, 221, ,479
Russia, 1S4,S97; United Kingdom, 137,-
14T; Denmark, Norway and Sweden, e0,'

A minister Of Elizabethtown tells
how Grape-Nuts food brought him back
to his pulpit: "Some five years ago
1 had an attack Of what seemed to be
La Grippe, which left me in complete
state of collapse, and suffered for
some time with nervous prostration.
My appetite failed, lost fesh until
I was a mere skeleton, life was a bur-
den to me, l lost interest In every.
thing and almost In everybody save my
precious wife.
Then on the recommendation OF
some friends l began to use Grape Nuts
food. At that time I was a miserable
skeleton, without appetite and hardly
able to walk across the room; had ugly
dreams at night, no disposition to en-
tertain or be entertained and began to
shun society.
II finally gave up the regular minis
try; indeed could not collect my
thoughts on any subject, and became
almost a hermit. After had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for a short
time discovered that was taking on
new life and my appetite began to Inn
prove; began to sleep better and my
weight Increased steadily; had lost
some fifty pounds, but under the new
food regime l have regained almost my
former weight and have greatly i'm

While ON the way Torstall related his
hate adventure to Bis companions, to
which they listened with eager interest,
bestowing many rough but sincere praises
upon his address and courage.
During Marion's swift ard silent
march, the captain OF the escort was
RECALLING himself on the good things to
be found at the Blue House. He boasted
and threatened Marion's Brigade with
utter determination, II he could be so
fortunate as to meet with it anywhere,
or under any circumstances.
The gallant captain continued in this
happy frame of mind until past midnight,
and his courage, enjoyment, zeal and
hatred of the Wings seemed fast increas-

sequence Of the false information that
had been given, that Marion was retreat
Ing toward North Carolina, added greatly
60 the feeling of security that was so
grateful to the heart of the British hire

@Yes," cried the valorous captain of
the escort, II wish that Marion was here

At that moment several muskets were

'Straighten up, you tarnal critters

The whole brigade thundered down
among the sentinels, who fired their mus

instant Gen. Marion was at the door
calling on them to surrender, in those
startling tones which distinguished him
tn the hour of battle.
The summons was Immediately obeyed
every soldier laid down his musket and
