EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND
Persons Leaving That Country In
1905 Smallest Since 1851

ISoS oHiauSSp Office 1901
London.-Some remarkable facts
have just come to light in the emf
grafton returns from Ireland just pub
lished. Chief among these is the ex-
traordinary reduction in emigration
, from that country. The number of
persons who left that country in 1905
was the smallest since 1851 when off,
cial returns were first obtained. In
that year only seven per 1000 of the
population emigrated.
To state the fact that in 1903, 1904
and 1905 the number Of emigrants
was 39,789, 36,902 and 3O,676 as
against $4,000 in 1851, 190,322 in
1852, and 172,14S in 1853, is to record
a true economic revolution. Ireland
has hitherto exhibited emigration on
vast scale. In every parish there
has been an organized system more
effective than any ever devised by
any government.
The men went out as pioneers. In
due time the old folks and his won.
ankind followed, and they sooner OF
later induced their neighbors TO try
their fortunes in the New World. A
few OF those who left early in life
returned to the old country, but as a
general thing their coming only served
to stimulate others to follow their
example.
From most European countries emf
grafton has been sporadic. From time
to time there have been great waves
propelled by political or economic
causes. When they abated the move
ment was uncertain and unsteady.
From Ireland there has been stream
flowing with arying volume but al
ways large. 1t seemed plausible to
argue that as the Irish in the United
States increased the outflow must in
crease in geometrical progression. The
actual figures contradict these prop
hecies.
For some reason the Irishman of
today appears more inclined to remain
at home. Heretofore the United
States has been his favorite Journey
ing place Now It would seem that
in common with the rest of the world
he is turning his eyes towards Can
ada as affording an opening to the
Industrious and adventurous poor. II
has been said that the entire subject
OF emigration needs reconsideration
In the light Of present facts; that it's
advantages are not what they once
were; Many of the countries of the
world do not offer great opportuni-
ties for emigrants over their native
lands. The cost of living and of hous-
Ing more than counterbalances the
higher money wages.
At the last meeting of the Dublin
branch OF the National Association for
the Prevention of Consumption many
OF the figures presented were appal-
ling. DR.. Boyd in the annual report
OF the branch cited the figures of
consumption mortality from the sta
tistics as prepared by the register
general. While in other countries
under the influence of scientific pre-
vention there has been falling of.
in Ireland alone it is announced the
death rate Is on the increase.

FALSE HAIR"
Where it Comes From and How It is
Handled

VuCIC " NOTHcS from dnu TOW IL is
Handled
The death of worker in human
hair from anthrax, supposed to be
engendered by germs in the hair from
China, brings the extraordinarily in
creased demand for artificial hair be-
fore the public. Within the last five
years the wearing of false hair in one
OR other Of the many artistic and
clever forms in which it is now offered
has advanced by leaps and bounds. A
conversation with one of the leading
artificers in this line ELECTED many in
teresting facts. He scorns hair from
Chinese man or woman, deeming it
fit only for the cheapest and most
common of fringes, transformations
etc. The markets he and other man.
ufacturers Of artificial hair frequent
are mainly in Germany, Austria,
France and Italy.
The idea that girls selling their
hair deprive themselves Of all their
tresses at once is, it seems, CHROME
Gus. A girl wishing to make money
out of 1t goes to the hair merchant
and tells him exactly how much of it
she will part with, or she divides the
hair herself, and offers it to him, to
be cut off. Sad TO relate the hair
merchants, as class, have the rep
utation of sharp, if not actually dis
honest, dealings, and they are so lack
ing in principle and sympathy that
they invariably clip off more than
their allowance, the girl having to
submit. 1t is only from converts that
the entire hair Of q Woman,s head
can be had, and the sale of the hair
cut off nuns head when she takes
the veil is valuable item in some
converts incomes.
Hair brought from the ordinary
merchant of the class described is
more often than not fraudulentlv
weighted with grease and dirty mat
ter, and frequently the purchaser
loses about 80 per cent before the
hair is cleansed. The cost of thor
oughly cleaning and working up this
bought hair is enormous, and as only
skilled workers can do it the seller
OF the made-up article must make
about so per cent on the price he
gave to the merchant before he re-
Allies any profit. 1t may ease the
minds of ladies wearing artificial hair

of the hair is thorough and effectu-
ally destroys any danger Of disease
from unhealthy germs. Every hair
has to be fastened in, with the root
up and the point down, as it grows
on the head, or 1t will not lie smooth
and even. The exact shade has to
be matched from many different lots
OF hair and length and texture have
also to be studied.
Women in these isles seldom sell
their hair, either because they will nor
or because their continental sisters
have more abundant tresses. It is
more difficult to get fine black or gray
hair than any other, and although the
Italian women have thick, long, black
hair, it is coarse-indeed, next lowest
in quality to the Chinese hair. It is
the girls in the south of France who
furnish the hair merchant with the
finest and best black hair. AS to
white hair, it is next to impossible
to get good crop of long white hair,
and this color is proportionately cost
ly. Happily, most ladies wearing
smart transformations, fringes and

Sundays Game.

The starting yesterday was entire
ly different. In the first three in
nings Telluride only got two men to
first and both on errors, but for
tunately no scores. The fourth in
ming was the hoodoo, however
Hughes, the first man up, was hit by
the pitcher and given his base, then
Maher landed beaut between left
and center fielders for three bases,
scoring Hughes, followed by a two
base hit by Miller. Price struck out
and Tritch made third by an over
throw to second base, scoring Price

ball, a total of four runs. two at least
on errors, If not three. Telluride did
not score again, although three dit

but Harden was there with the
goods.

at first, Stanley hitting safe for first,
Roberts going out on fly and Brier-

was retired at first, Briefly making
first on error, getting second on
