Will Appeal to Congress.

The Sons and Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution protest against this re-
striction, and Will appeal to Congress.
Representative Hayes of California has
introduced a bill repeating Section 40 of
the immigration act, which would abolish
the employment agencies of the govern
ment altogether, and leave the immigrants
dependent entirely upon private agencies.
Secretary Nagel, however, says he has
not recommended the repeal, and every
one in authority, SO far as he knows,
would be opposed to it. because the divi-
sion of information has demonstrated its
usefulness, and has become a necessity
in the larger cities and to send them
where they are wanted most. lie does
not think there Is any occasion for alarm
on the part of the Sons and Daughters
of the American Revolution.
I'VE receive letters on both Sides" con-
tinued Secretary Nagel Some of them
in favor of extending the usefulness of
the division of information; others in IA
yor of suppressng 1t. 1t was originally
created In response to demands from the
south, where labor is badly needed, and
its work has been highly commended by
the people of Texas. Louisiana and other
states. We have also received protests
from southern people who do not want
foreigners coming to that section. but
after a time. when the DIRECTORS under
stand the purpose of the law, things will
adjust themselves.
Congress has provided this agency for
the distribution of immigrants and we
will carry on its work as we'll as possible
to accomplish the purpose intended. We
will not permit the division to disturb Ia
Dor conditions anywhere: We will not per-
init 1t to induce inning alton; but its eff
forts will be directed to accomplish
the most good. Just now in this country
the most urgent demand is for farm labor
and household domestics, and / have en-

forts to supply that demand. Correspond
ence has been had with state boards of
immigration and harmonious arrange
ments are being established as the work
progresses.
THE results accruing are largely trace
able to an insistent demand for men to
take the places of those who have de-
serted the farms for the city. Employ
ers are found ready. not only TO seek
the aid of the division, but also in many
instances to advance the cost of trans
portation in the hope of securing the
much needed help. A large number OF let

HISTORIC SPOT IN IRELAND
MaIakldO Castle, q Few Miles North

MalaAide castle, ON the sea coast,
about ten miles north of Dublin, is the
Oldest inhabited stronghold in Ire

has extensive encircling woods, which
make It an ideal residence In either
winter or summer, while the little
town of Malahide is similar to an Eng

well-cared-for estate. Malahide fur
nishes the unusually rare instance Of
a baronial estate having continued for
nearly seven centuries and half In
whom It had been originally con-
ferred. Henry H. gave the manor to
Richard de Talbot in liza, and his
male descendants have resided at
Malahide ever since, except for brief
period during Cromwell's time, when
they we're driven out for seven years.
In the great hall at Malahide is a
suit of armor with a cash in the side
about which q romantic story Is told.

PROTEST MADE TOO QUICKLY
Stout Man Might Have Saved Himself

In the scramble that followed a pre-
mature discharge of dynamite in the

pin. After he began to search for it
he noticed that another man was polk

wish to give offense, but l must ask
you to refrain from assisting me in
this search. l appreciate your will
ingness to help, but as means of self
protection l long ago made it rule
never to allow strangers to assist me
in search for lost article"
"Oh, very WE'LL" said the stranger.
you have no objection to my looking
on, I suppose?"
He sat down on the curbstone and
watched the stout man sift dust and
overturn stones. After 20 minutes of
painful STOPPING the stout man found
a scarfpin.
But it is not my pin," he said, de-
jectedly.

STRENGTH AT VARIOUS AGES
Years In Which II lncreases-When It
Fails Most Rapidly Is After
Flftleth Year.

According to excellent authority the
muscles, in common with all organs
Of the human. body, have their periods
of development and decline, our phys
ical strength increasing up to GER
tain age and then decreasing. Tests
of the strength of several thousand
individuals have been made and the
following figures are given as the
averages derived from such tests:
The lifting power of youth of II
is $50 pounds; in his twentieth year
this increases to 800 pounds and in
the thirtieth and thirty-first years it
reaches its height, 1855 pounds. At the
expiration Of the thirty-first year the
strength begins to decline, very grad
ually at first By the fortieth year it
has decreased eight pounds and
diminution continues at a slightly in
creasing rate until the fiftieth year is
reached, when the figure is $50
pounds.
Subsequent to this period strength
fails more and more rapidly until the
weakness Of old age is reached. 1t
is found impossible to obtain trust
worthy statistics of the decline of
strength after the fiftieth year, as the
rate varies greatly in different indi-
Viduals.

Fidelity In Love.

What is the meaning of fidelity in
love and whence the birth of It? 'Tis
a state of mind that men fall into, and
depending on the man rather than the
woman. We love being in love, that's
the truth ont. If we had not met
Joan, we should have met Kate and
adored her. We know our mistresses
are no better than many other wom-
en-, nor no prettier, por no wiser, nor
no wittier. IT'S not for these reasons
we love woman, or for any special
quality or charm know of; we might
as well demand that lady should be
the tallest woman in the world, like
the Shropshire giantess, as that she
should be paragon in any other char
acter, before we began to love her.

Is said that he was poisoned by green
wall paper in his office. Tip asks a
paperhanger about green wall paper
poisoning people, and is told that it
ought to be as dangerous handling
green paper day in and day out as be-

that he never heard of any paperhang-

And the same thing would seem to ap-
ply to other cases of poison said to
come so frequently from green dye.
