law requires before we can deport

deportation, could we get at the facts
Some are sent in violation of the con-

false affidavits as to their age, parent

questions that might seek to uncover
the true state of affairs in regard to
their work
'The result is seen in the after life
of the boys, most of whom become
hangers on around pool halls, or drop
even lower in the social scale. A few,

John Barrett, director of the bureau

One afternoon he was preparing to

Paris.-What has become of the
famous harem skirt? Is it living or is
it dead? This question seems to be
running through the minds of women
throughout the world. The innovation
was hooted whenever it appeared pub
licly in the European capitals, and
Paris, which ordinarily becomes &C

tic apparel refused to accept it.
The failure of the garment to ap-
pear at the fashionable race courses
on Sunday aroused wide comment. A
few women, seeking to attract atten-
ton, occasionally dare to wear it at a
roller rink or in box at the theater,
but the mass of femininity avoid it,
with the possible exception Of few Of
the milder models, which it is impos-
sible to distinguish from the conven-
tional skirt. The harem skirt is not
seen on the streets.
With view to solving the mystery
as to what has become Of the garment,

Small Estates in Jamaica.

In Jamaica rs per cent. of the 1885,
051 landed properties are valued at
less than 5000 each. Nearly all of
these small holdings are owned by
negroes who live chiefly on salt fish
and on fruits and vegetables, espe-
cially yams grown by themselves.
Being able to live in this manner
with little exertion these peasant pro-
prietors are sverse to entering into
contracts to labor by the year or
even by the month. Hence, in spite
of the fact that 95 per cent of the
$4,000 inhabitants of Jamaica are
negroes (including mulattoes), 1t is
necessary to employ East Indian
coolies on the larger sugar and ba-
mana plantations. on which there must
be a certain proportion of laborers
who may be relied upon for steady
work at all times.
