AssimiIatino Foreioners.

Let those Anglo -Saxons in the south who fear for their future purity of ra- cial stock on account of the immigrants from Southern Europe, take leaf from the book of New England's social hs- tory" said a student of events, land then get busy welcoming the new conner and working him over into an American citizen.
 "One of the astonishing things about New England is the rapidity with which foreigners are transformed into Yam kees. The children born here grow up to be Americans to the backbone. There is little good in kicking against the bricks of great popular movements, such as Eu- ropean invasion of the south. Those now in control have the alternative of pre- pairing to assimilate them or of being lost in the tide which will rise just as soon as the cheap lands and the indus tries begin to attract the attention of Europe through the direct lines of trans portation."

 Well. l suppose" responded the medi- cal man. T ahnuld howl with pain too."

 A railroad up the Matterhorn!
 Actually, such a line will be no more difficult to construct than the one up the Jungfrau, which is now well toward completion. But the Matterhorn looks so steep and stern that 1t seems as If It were inaccessible by any art of man. Yet a concession has been applied for to run a line from Zermatt to the sum init, with nearly two miles of ascent, the top being 14,6S2 feet above the sea.
 The Swiss federal chambers have also received an application for concession for the Splugen railway The projected line will have total length of over fifty two miles, The maximum gradient Is 26 per 1000. The main tunnel through the Spugen will be seventeen miles in length The total cost of the line is estimated at s25, ,0Oo.Oo0.

THE WORD "PARAGRAPHER'
From the Washington Herald.

From the Washington Herald.
 N VERY highly esteemed and evl- (N dently watchful reader of this newspaper propounds, via the United States mails, the following query;
 "In view of the fact that so much has been said recently in reference to that very important factor in our modern newspaper system, the paragrapher, l should like to know of the expert who is attached to The Washington Herald the proper pronunciation of the word. We have our 'te-leg-raph-ers,' 'py-rog- rapher, etc. Should not the proper pro nunciation, by analogy, be 'pa-rag- rapher?" "
 The query editor of The Herald, to whose preponderating intelligence all such weighty and momentous questions are in- varlably referred, had intended to close the bureau of inside information tenn porarily and hle him to the Potomac to while away few days angling for star spangled shad. However pause will be had until he answers the courteous re- quest of our inquiring friend, even though it be fully realized that the discussion probably will involve him in renewed con- troversy with obstreperous contempora- rles, the duration of which is quite as in definite as correspondence with the war department.

Another Dangerous Crossing.

Something should be done about the grade crossing of the Twenty-frst street subway" said a Morris avenue man yes terday afternoon. "rhere is hardly week passes by but that two or three accidents or narrow escapes occur at this crossing On account of the road being so narrow it is impossible to see train approaching as the buildings on either side obstruct the view. There have been several bad accidents there, and it was only two or three weeks ago that two fine horses were run down and killed.
 "A hagman should either be placed there or the crossing should be cut out. In my opinion it should be abolished, as the negro drivers are careless and prac- tically go to sleep while driving their drays, as in the case of the negro driving the wagon loaded with dynamite which was run into by an Louisville and Nash vile train this morning. It is said that several people yelled at this negro, but he didn't seem to be noticing anything. The shipping clerks who handle these drivers should get in behind them and see that they keep their wits about them while driving around the town"

ohlee Building ConvenIences'
 T would like to make a suggestion to the agents of the large office buildings in this city, said a visitor yesterday, which would be found of considerable conven- fence to the public if adopted. mean that there ought to be a directory on each floor, giving the names of the occu- pants and the number of their office.
 T had occasion to visit several offices in the First National bank building to- day, and I had to make at least a half dozen trips up and down in the elevator to consult the directory in the lobby. Even that was no simple matter, as sometimes there were four or five people standing around the directory trying to make out and remember the number of the floor and office they wanted, and l had to wait my turn in the crowd.
 It often surprises me that people con tnue to suffer such inconvenience as most ot us do when q remedy is so easily provided. Go on any of the floors in these buildings and you will find people wandering about looking for the office of lawyer or doctor and it may happen that they are on the wrong hoor but don't know 1t.
 Another feature that might be intro dueed into these office buildings would be a telephone exchange just inside the lobby, where a. person could make in- quiries instead of going up ten or fifteen stories to find the office closed and the occupant gone to the ball game
 If we want to keep up with the march of progress we should have all these con veniences which save time. l find 1t takes less time to reach a man in his office in Bessemer by telephone than to reach a man on the floors of some of cur office buildings"

says:
