More than one million foreigners
entered the United States last year.
The half Of them came from southern
Eprope. Where are they going
Some came under the padrone con-
tract system and are working in
gangs on public improvements. The
vast majority, it is safe to conjec-
ture, have settled in squalid commun-
titles in the large cities. 1t is not
surprising that the greater number
of European emigrants go from
Italy and neighboring countries, be-
cause conditions are such there as to
foster discomfort, a discomfort that
develops into hatred of all forms of
governmental restraint. Such peo-
pie, if scattered and brought under
healthy American influences, might
become good citizens, but they are a
menace when crowded and abused in
the wards OF a city. There is not
much room on Manhattan island, but
there is plenty of room out here.
Strict enforcement of our immlgra-
tion laws should be coupled with a
system of distribution, that will re-
lieve the congestion in the foreigners
quarters of the cities.

the very carefulness, which avoids
the chance of accident, persuades us
to minimize the danger, and in an UNI

sequences. There is a lesson for

taxation. New factories are not just
for this year. Paducah is growing and
more streets must be paved, and i'm

more help and facilities for taking
care of that which we have are de-
manded.

however, it means that the dome of

CANDLES ON DINING TABLE.
Must Be Properly Arranged TO Get
the Best Effects.

the Best Effects.
Candle-lighted dining tables are
more popular than ever. Four can
dies are needed to light the smallest
table. and four double branched can
dlesticks are liked better. Besides
silver and brass, glass candlesticks, in
old Eaglish and colonial design are
seen. Cut glass is to be preferred, of
course, but good limitations are made
1t is hard to understand how wrought
iron ever came to be used for either
lamps or candlesticks. Possessing no
powers of reflection or refraction, the
light of even strong fame is dimin-
lshed at least one-half, and most de.
pressing effect obtained Candle
shades are works of art, whether
made of silk and trimmed with chiffon
and beads, or fashioned of paper and
decorated with water color designs.
Glass shades, cubes of opalescent ma
ter1al, jewels encrusted, are charming,
as also are the parchment paper ones
with old prints in delicate pink and
blue tints, inserted on one side. Can
die shades always should be arranged
to hide the flame, as the glare so near
the eyes is unpleasant.

FUN FOR THE MOTHS.
Cedar Chest Just Their Idea OF a
DomieiIe.

One day last winter a Washington
newspaper man was talking to
friend and the subject turned to the
pesky moth and the best means Of ex.
terminating the busy little creature.
The newspaper man told of innumer-
able garments that had been riddled
by the wee destroyer, and the friend
was springing that ancient chestnut
on him about capturing the moth and
pulling its teeth out, when a practi-
cal man of the world, a carpenter by
trade, came along and joined in the
conversation.
You can take my word for it, in
terpolated the carpenter, chat the
best way to protect your clothing
against moths is to pack them in
chest made of cedar wood. The
strong odor of cedar is pizen to the
moth and you can't get one of 'em
to light within smelling distance of
the cedar chest. A friend of mine
tried it and his goods proved to be
perfectly immune to the destroyers.''
Impressed by the words of the man
OF wood, saws, hatchets and the like.
the newspaper man forthwith had a
cedar chest constructed and proudly
informed his wife he had at last
reached safe and sane solution of
the moth problem. OF course he
packed his best garments in the chest,
and it was but the other day that he
mad occasion to go into the immune
chest to get a garment, when 10! to
his horror g. flock of moths were seen
hustling about in the receptacle.
He removed his clothing piece by
piece and found that each of the gar
ments had been perforated early and
oftep by the pestiferous insects, I'M
til they looked as though they had
been shot at and hit by several loads
OF bird shot, causing him a loss of
many of his best articles of dress.
Now the newspaper man is looking
Tor the carpenter to give him some
good advice, and in the meantime the
cedar chest has been used as kindling
to start blaze in the furnace.

chances for the average young maa
TO succeed in the average business
vocation. That is that the channeia
for his development are being mada

tbe formation of corporations and

tralization of business is considered
detrimental to the pursuing OF bust
ness in mercantile lines on sinai

This subject is open to wide discus
sion. Cities and towns OF the Ohlted
States are rapidly building up The
nonplation of the country is increas
ing wonderfully. With this increase
in population new opportunities pre-
sent themselves for the exercise q

ticularly of the west, are embryo cit+

will be the large city a quarter cen

have the foresight to discover them
Towns are built up where are certain
natural advantages and their growth
is dependent upon the territory that
they can draw support from, or upon
some particular advantage that they
NAV possess favorable to manufactur
ing along certain lines. The oppo1
tunities for young men are TO some
extent guaged by the life and prog
ress of the towns. Heads of families
look forward to the time when their
sons may8enter into business or pro-
fessional life. Ties of kinship are
strong and few parents care to have
from them. In this is discovered .
reason why residents of rural do
trict should take more than ordinary
interest in the home town. The more
important the local town the greater
are the opportunities for the young
men of the neighborhood engaging IN
business in it. In thousands of cities
and towns of the United States tho
leading business men to-day are the
boys who were farmers sons 9 guar
ter or half century ago. In modest
ways they started in business in the
home town, and with the progress %
the town developed as business men.
The opportunities that were opened
to those youths are still open to The
youths of to-day, but remember that
many of these men would not have
been the great business men they are
to-day only for the fact the towns
where they located were progressive
places which gave the opportunity to
succeed.

NouRIsHMENT IN ICE CREAM.

Hot Weather.

AS the summer months call for a
change in diet, the home mistress is
often at loss to supply her table with
food that will be wholesome. yet

The idea that ice cream is only a
luxury should be dismissed as soon as
possible from the mind of the caterer.
Made of q boiled custard, it contains
the best possible material for health
and strength. Sugar, milk and eggs
all excellent for the human body. This
with the cold to help protect from in
tense heat, makes ice cream an ideal
food in hot weather. But it must not
be concluded that all frozen creams
are good; too often the commodities
sold under various enticing names are
anything but creams; gelatin, con.

The STORY.

THERE was but one topic of CONVEX
sation in all Israel and that was
concerning the youth from Bethlehem
who had killed Goliath, the terrible
Philistine giant, who for weeks had
held the army of Israel in abject fear
and terror, Jonathan listened eagerly to
his armor bearer as he told him the
story, while they fastened on in pur-
suit of the fleeing Philistines. iona
than had not been with the army at
the time but summoned hastily to his
command when the pursuit of the
Philistines had been taken up so un-
eKpectedly, he had eagerly responded
and was now pressing forward as rap
idly as possible. And for the first
time now he was hearing from his
armor bearers lips the story of the
wonderful exploit of the simple coun-
try lad, who had come into the camp
of Israel the day before just when the
Philistine champion had come out and
was defying the army Of Israel and
disappearing the name of Israel's
God. Aroused by the sight, the youth
had demanded to know why some one
Of the warriors of Israel did not go
out to fight against him in the name
of the God of Israel, and when he
learned there were none strong or
brave enough to battle with so fierce
and powerful a foe, he had volun-
teered with boyish earnestness to go
out himself, declaring that the God of
Israel would destroy the uncircum-
cised PhiIistine, seeing he had defied
the armies Of the living God.
Jonathan listened to the story with
intense and growing interest, of how
this youth had been at last taken to
the presence of sis father, the king;
Of how he had laid aside at last the
armor which had been provided for
him with the simple remark that he
had not proved them and had better
trust to his shepherds sling, which

New Name for Grenadine.

For dressy wear and especially for
day functions of all kinds nothing is
more fashionable this season than the
sllken fabrics which are displayed in
such profusion in all the shops and
importing establishments. Particular
ly sought after are the soft, clingine
silks, the mousselines, the liberties
and the novelty foulards. For a com.
paratiVely new material maruuisette
has perhaps made as great name for
itself as any other, and this season
it will be one of the most popular
materials for all kinds of dressy
froeks. Our grandmothers would
probably have called it "grenadine.'
but we find many old and well-tried
faVorites disporting under new names
and thus claiming attention an novel
ties. Marquisette adapts itself charm
fngly to all kinds of trimming
schemes, whether elaborate or plain
and is perhaps at it's best when decor
ated with bands of chiffon taffeta in
self tone or in slightly contrasting
shade.
