UNAVOIDABLE TO STATES.
NOT PAY FOR IMMIGRATION
OF LABOR

An opinion has been rendered by tht
Attorney General to the President
bearing on the legality OF the action
of the South Carolina authorities in
bringing to the. United States ship
load of immigrants for work In vari'
Gus branches of industry in that State.
The Attorney General holds in effect
that it is unlawful for State govern
ment to pay the passage of intending
immigrats or to assist immigration
otherwise than by advertisement.
In the South Carolina case $50. 600
was raised by an association of private
persons by which a general fund was
constituted for the encouragement OF
immigration and out of which the ex
penses of immigrants were paid. The
immigrants were brought to the United
States through the efforts Of State I'm
migration Commissioner E. ). Wat
son. The Secretary of Commerce and
Labor. in approving an opinion of the
Solicitor of the Department held that
the plan as carried out did not con-
stitute a violation of the contract
labor law.
The decision came up for considera-
BILE discussion in Congress during the
debate on the immigration bill.
There was some dissatisfaction with |
the ruling of the Department OF Com
merce and Labor on the subject and
the Department of Justice was asked
10 render an opinion, with the view, it |
is understood, of determining the
,oundness of the contentious of the |
former Department with the result |
above stated.

Obituary..

Died, at Mt. Idaho, Idaho, May
4, 1907. Mrs. Ellie Shinkle, wife Of
F. r. Shinkle, aged AZ years. Fun
eral and Interment at Mt. Idaho,
Sunday afternoon, May 5, w. N.
Knox, minister officiating.
Mrs. Shinkle was born August 4,
1859, in Illinois, was married in
1876. and moved to Idaho with her
husband and family fourteen years
ago. Six children, three of whom
are married, and devoted hus-
band are left to mourn her demise.
She was formerly member of
the Christian church. From one
who attended her in her last illness
it is learned that she died happy,
ready to go, as she lay dying re-
guessing them to sing, "Shall We
gather at the river" asking the
friends to meet her in heaven.
Thus the story is told, briefly,
of one who was esteemed by all
who knew her-a faithful wife, a
devoted mother.
"Though we may mourn,
Those in life the dearest,
They shall return,
Christ, when Thou appearest.
Soon shall Thy voice
Comfort those now weeping,
Bidding rejoice
All in Jesus sleeping"

The New Opium Cure.

We put very little faith in the new

success in the region of Singapore
equals that claimed here for Christian
Science. AS result the importation
of opium in the Malay States has been
reduced from eighty to fifty chests q
month and thousands have been cur
ed.
The plant is climber, botanically
called Combertum sOndaicum. A de-
coction of the plant is put into two
bottles, into one of which is added
as much burnt opium as the patient
is accustomed to use in day. When
he Graves opium he is given two ia
blespoonfuls from the latter bottle
and as much from the other bottle
replaces it to fill the space.
This is repeated when called for.

STRANGE BIRDS.

The following is from naturalist
around the world:
For many years naturalists heard
reports of a mysterious bird which
made its home in the soltudes sur
rounding the volcano of Soufriere
on ST. Vincent, in the West Indies.
Tie natives had many superstitions
connected with it, one being that
anyone seeing the bird would surely
die. and as a result they avoided its
haunts and it long remained the in
visible mysterious bird with the heav-
emily song.
THE mystery was finally dissi-
pated in 1876, when Frederick A.
ODER made an expedition to the vol
cano, and after considerable difficulty
and danger from big snakes man
aged to secure several specimens. 1t
developed that the bird was a VEN
triloquist, which explains why its
song would often be heard and still
the bird not be seen in the spot
whence the sound seemed to proceed.
Certain live birds are put to
curious uses. In the northern part
of South America the natives often
avail themselves of the services of
a species of crane to care for their
poultry, and also use it in place Of a
dog to herd their domestic fowl.
This remarkable bird, which the In
dians call yakamik and the onri-
biologists posphia vakamik, is found
in wild state in the great forests
that lie between the northern coasts
of South America and the Amazon.
Their usual gait is slow and stately
march, but they enliven themselves
from time to time by leaping up in
the air, executing eccentric and fancy
waltzes and striking absurd atti-
tudes. When alarmed they utter the
peculiar cry which has obtained for
them the name of trumpeter.
1.-THE yakamiks are readily tanned
and prove valuable servants to the
Indians. They may be trusted with
the care of a flock of sheep or do
nestle fowls and every morning will
drive the ducks and poultry to their
feeding places and carefully collect
ing any stragglers bring them safely
home at night. Detroit News-Tri.

Coins Found in Old Wall.

A remarkable discovery of a hoard
of gold and silver coins, amounting
in value to about $500, has been
made in the townland of Annalough-
ey, near Aughcloy, county Tyrone.
The money was discovered hidden in
an old we'll beside the house which
has been the property Of one family
for generations.
The back of the wall at one time
formed a portion of the original
house. How or when the hoard was
placed in position where it was dis.
covered is mystery, but from the
dates on the coins it must have
been at least half century ago.

A PARROT STORY.

Many years ago, when our navy
had station on the African coast,
the natives were in the habit of
bringing off parrots for sale. They
were very pretty birds, of soft gray
color enlivened by touches of red,
and their price was a bit of tobacco,
a piece of soap, or half dozen brass
rings-any trifie, in fact. The sailors
bought lot of them, and taught
them nautical terms.
