Presents in safe Place.

A young millhand having lost his
sweetheart through his own hotheaded
folly first threatened to commit suicide
and then became yulgarly insstent in
his demands for the return Of the pres
ents he had given her.
"What good will they be to you II
you're goin' to drown yourself in t
mill pond?" she scoffed.
"Never you mind; want them
back" he replied evasiyely.
well, I'll see that you have them"
the girl reluctantly agreed.
But five days passed and the young
man still bemoaned the loss Of the for
feited trinkets. Once more he request
ed their return.
"Oh, lad, wish you'd stop worryin'
me-" sighed the girl, anxious by now
for a reconciliation I've given Z
presents up long since. They're wait
ing for you at t bottom o. t. mill pond,

RECORDS BROKEN
Thousands of Foreigners Driven tc
Our Shores by Unrest.


Washington, Jan. 8.-The fiscal year
ended June 30, 1906, produced a re-
cord eclipsing all former figures on the
subject of immigration, according to
the annual report of Frank Sargent,
commissioner general of immigration.
During that period, the report says,
the population of the United States
was increased by the admission OF l.
100, 735 immigrant aliens and So, 618
non-immigrant aliens entered at its
ports, making the total admissions l.
1856, 1853. The increase over last years

During the fiscal year 1905 the de-
partment rejected IL ,4S0 aliens, and
during the past year u, 432 Of the i'm
migrant aliens-that is, those who in
tended settling in the United States.
"Without exception" the report con-
tinues, "the countries from which we
formerly obtained the greater part OF
our foreign population, and which are
inhabited by races nearly akin to our
own, have supplied us with smaller
numbers during the past year than dur.

four most considerable gains are:
Italy, 1,641; Russia, 30,76Si
Greece, 1914, and Turkey, 5,165."
The immigration from Austria-Hun-
gary amounted to 265, 1928; Italy, in.
GLIDING Sicily and Sardinia, 273, 800
Russia and Finland, 1865; China

Indies, 10 656.
The commissioner again recommends
penalties on steamship companies fol-
bringing aliens afflicted with danger
GUS or loathsome diseases. The presi
dents suggestion for closing the Mexi

of Mexico is also urged. During the
early part of the year, the report says

The End of Books.

What brings about the end of books?
Is 1t fire, water, worms? As every
ship launched is bound to be wrecked,
every theater to be burned, the fms of
the book is its reduction to ashes.
What became of the Alexandrian Ii
brary? Did the Saracens burn it In
GO? There is this question asked
Was there any library at Alexandria
containing 100000 books? Gibbon in
clines to the opinion that there was no
such library. Canon Taylor insists
that II there had been a library 1t was
burned in the time of julius Caesar
Tradition seems to indicate, however,
that there was a library in the sera-
peum, by no means a large collection,
but whether destroyed by Theophilus
or Theodosius is not known. 1t looks
as If the charge brought against the
Arabs rested on no foundation. Explo-
rations of Alexandria in 1886 show
no traces of the serapeum. The sea-
port of Egypt was built on a damp
foundation, and granting that there
was library, If not destroyed by fire,
then the papyri might have suffered
from decay due D. water. Books of
to-day taken to India, to the Southern
States and to the West Indies perish

japanese Get Equal Education in
Separate Schools.
Large Audience Hears Able Argument
Against RooseveIrs Policy = De-
MES That Any Provision of Treaty
is Being Violated = Coolie Labor
Should be Excluded.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Senator Gearin
covered himself with glory in his
speech in the senate yesterday, in
which he advocated exclusion of Japan
ese coolies. He exhibited exceptional
ability and charm as speaker, and
presented arguments that were eye
openers to even senators and to the
throngs in the galleries. When the
senate convened at noon, the galleries
were crowded to their limit, in antici-
patton of lively debate on the Browns
vile affair. But Gearin had given no
tice that he would speak Immediately
after the close of the morning business
and senatorial courtesy demanded that
he be heard, Notwithstanding Foraker
and Lodge were eager to resume the
fight over the negro troop question.
Mr.. Gearin criticised the stand taken
by President Roosevelt on the Japanese
question as to his Interpretation of the
existing treaty with Japan, and charged
that the presidents position in regard
to the introduction of cheap labor as
applied to the Chinese was inconsistent
with his recent message to congress in
regard to the treatment Of japanese on
the Pacific coast.
Replying to the claim in the presi-
dents message that the treaty with
Japan guaranteed protection and right
to attend public schools in all states in
the Union, and to attend them in COM
pany with white children, Mr. Gearin
denied emphatically that there is any
provision in the treaty which by any
sort of construction can be made to sup
port such a claim. He says that moth
ing is said in the treaty as to the right
to attend public schools, and that the
specific enumeration of what was in
tended by the trainers of the treaty
showed that nothing should be left to
inference. He quoted from the treaty
to show that the Japanese residents in
this country may have the privileges
enumerated only by conforming to all
the laws, police and customs regula-
tions of the country, like native citi-
zens and subjects, and that this meant
state laws as well as Federal laws.
"This government might as well
stand upon that Interpretation and de-
cline to consider it further" he said.
In advocating modification Of the
treaty which would restrict the immi
grafton of the Japanese coolie labor
Mr.. Gearin said that so long as these
laborers are permitted to come into this
country in hordes there will be con
slant and growing dissensioD on the
Pacific coast, which eventually mus
bring about restriction. He spoke o
the influx of Japanese cheap labor as {
threatened peril to every industry anC
enterprise of the United States.

uanana Tread.

Bread made from banana flour IS
common enough in Europe and Eng
land. One pound is said to contain
more nourishment and energy produc-
ing material than one pound of the
finest beefsteak, is much more digest
ible and less than one-sixth the price.
Sir Henry Stanley was a firm believer
in the banana. He went so far as to
advise that its consumption would cure
rheumatism, govt and all liver affec-
tions. When lying at the point of death
from gastritis a light Cruel of banana
flour mixed with milk was the only
food he could retain and digest. The
secret of the banana as a health and
strength producing food lies in its high
percentage of proteids and the great
number of its calories, respectively 20

ed with milk and sugar.-New York
