From 1921 to 1870 natives of Ger
many. Great Britain. Ireland. Scandi-
navia and Canada. together contrib
uted substantially nine tenths of all
the immigrants to this country. but
since 1870 their proportion of the to-
tai number has steadily declined
from somewhat more than four
fifths for 1s71-1Ss0 to three-fourths
for iss1-1ssO, about two ffths- for
lSs1-1s00, and very nearly two
thirds for 19O1-1910.

proXimate total for continental Unit
ed States of 1s,s42,5O0 foreign born
whites, the persons born in Germany
numbered 2.4s9,2OO and constituted
1877 per cent. as compared with
2,s13,413 in 1900. or 27.5 per cent of the
total at that census.
A similar condition is also appar-
ent with respect to natives of ireland. |

ported 1.S51.40O persons born in Ire
land, constituting 10.1 per cent of the
entire foreign-born white population,

ABOUT I4O miles from Jerusalem.
Several members of the COM
Pany rode all the way and others
used Dutch carts, drawn by three
Arab horses abreast. We visited
Jacobs Well, where Christ spoke
to the women of Samaria-and
spent the night>at Nablus, where
Ahab and Jezebe1 once dwelt in
glory. Nablus lies almost under
the shadow of Mount Tabor. In
a field close to the town Jezebel
was thrown to the dogs.
Next morning we set out for
Nazareth, and drove for miles
through fields of wheat. Firing
ing the road-the most execrable
that l have ever been over-were
a large number of mustard plants.
We reached Nazareth at 8 p.
m. on May Is, and the next morn
ing we were taking scenes, in
Guiding Mary at the Well,'' go
ing to Tiberias on the Sea of
Galilee that same afternoon.
Tiberias is ancient, with traces
of Saracenic influence. The Sea
of Galilee, but for this town on its
shores, would give stranger the
impression of being an unknown
lake. Very few houses of any de-
scription are to be seen on its
shores We were up at g o'clock
and off in huge boats, Dared by
six men, to a distant part of the
sea, to take scenes. I climbed
half a mile up the hillside to get
into the scene of John the Bap-
fist Sees Christ Afar Off," My
next scene was +Christ Calling

We took scenes at Bethlehem
and Bethany. In the caravan
scene where Joseph and Mary
miss the boy Christ, who remain
ed with the Doctors in the Tenn
pie, about 40 camels are en-
ployed.
On occasions when it was ne
.cessary to use certain important
thoroughfares, like the Damascus
Gate, we had the assistance of the
military and the police. The day
we took scenes in the Via Do
1orosa will remain an unforget-
able memory with me. Huge
crowds stood for hours in the
blazing Syrian sun, lined the
walls and covered the roofs. The
crowds round my carriage were
so dense that police kept the peo-
pie back, and when I left the car
riage to take up my position in
|. the scene a way was made for
me, and women stepped forward
and kissed my robe.
After the scenes had been
taken the nuns from the Convent
.of St. Veronica brought me cor
dials and invited me into their
cool rooms, where they gave re-
freshments to the company. 1

every denomination, and they

ALASKA HAD MILD
 WINTER 40 YEARS AGO

The Baptish Orphanagc News Letter, mintcd at Kodiak, in con- on the mild weather and the possible change in the course of the Japan current, tells of a similar season 10 years ago as follows:
 One of the oldest residents on Wood Island tells us that 10 years ago there was just such a winter. But people did not give the Japan current the credit for it. In those days the Russian Ice Co. was do- ing an extensive business on Wood island. A vessel came here carly in October hoping to get her cargo of ice and get away in No- vcmbcr, but she had to wait un- til March before there was any ice, and then it was only t2 inch es thick. We hope that so far as the March ice is concerned that history will not repeat itself this year."

 WHILE ON OUTSIDE

Fred c. Kelly, writing to the Seattle P.-I. from the national capital says: A. J. Daly, Demo- cratic national committeeman from Alaska, left home in Octo- Der to be here in time for the meeting last month. When he reached Washington he thought he'd just stick around two or three months and miss the gloomy Alaskan winter. At the end of eight days he was seen hurrying toward the Union Station with a suit case in hand. "Where are you going?" asked an acquain- tance. Back to Alaska, by gum," replied Daily. "Im so homesick I can't stand this town another minute. What l want to do is go where l can read a paper con- taining news that's two or three months old, but new to me. I'm so sick and tired of being among buildings that have been built a couple of hundred years that I wouldn't stay here another week for any money. Just got a paper saying there's been two new houses put up in Juneau, and want To sec 'cm. Goodbye"

IDLE TEARS.

Ills arc transient. woes are hit- ting. Soon they'll all be with the past. It's by tending to his knitting that a man wins out at last. Statesmen kick up fuss and furry, viewing daily with alarm; not minute do l worry: 1 am busy on my farm. am planting boiled potatoes, bOnclrSS beans and things like those: l am sow ing StrWrd iOmaIOrS, and l have nt lime for woes; l am working, striving daily, treating fair my fcllOwman, and the old world treats me gaily, for do the best l can. Let the statesman paw and thunder. in their ancient, foolish way, till the wclkin's torn asundrr--I will do my chores to- day. If you think that you are totInS burdens that you should not bear, you won't get relief by VOtlng--that won't lessen your despair. Read the story of the ages, written through the grind ing years, and you'll find the statesman's wages always wet with tOilcrs' fears. When have statesmen aided in the drying of men's eyes? All they've done is faded, save their promises and lies. He who looks to legislation for snlace when distressed, but invites new aggravatiOn. Plant p0tatocs--that is best.--Walt Ma son.

THURSDAY, MARCH ', 1912.
ONE OLD BARRIER DOWN.

Four of the men who are con- sidered i'll the race for the Demo- cratic nomination for president were born in slave states. Speak CT Clark is native of Kentucky. So is Oscar Underwood, the head of the ways and means committee. Joseph w. Folk was born in Ten nessce. Woodrow Wilson is a native of Virginia who practiced law for time in Georgia before he came north to live. And not one of these men is considered in any sense ineligible because of his southern nativity, or, in the case of three of the four, his present residence in state which clung to slavery until the civil war.
 Underwood is the only one who is looked upon as in any sense open 10 question on that score and in his case 1t is not so much be- cause of the location of his birth place or his present home as the result of a doubt about his un- derstanding of northern indus trial conditions and needs. There is sectional question as to the brilliant Alabamian, but it has nothing to do with the old Mason and Dixon deadline for presiden- tial aspirants.
 
 This is getting away from the lingering political efrecIs of the great struggle between the north and the south. It has taken over half a century to bring the cOun- fry to it's present frame of mind, but it has arrived at the goal which long seemed beyond the reach of the first generation or even of the second after the war. --EX.

GREATEST LESSON OF LIFE
The One Thing Above All That
Woman Should Be Quick to Learn
and Remember.

The woman who makes good must
be blessed with strength and health,
and an ambition to learn and take ad-
vantage of every opportunity that
comes her way. She must work with
all her heart and play with all ner
heart; above all things avoiding IN
differences.
Hers is the temperament that rec
ognizes that encouragement is all
nice and pretty, but if one Is going 70
do the thing that counts one doesn
need it; that refuses to be dismayeo
by repeated failures and that has
certain faith that what has been done
by many may be done by another;
that nobody goes through life with
out disappointments, heartaches anc
the breaking OF pet illusions; tina
there is nothing more common thar
trouble. but that 1t is the wise ones
Of earth that keep it in the back
ground. That's the great lesson o
life-Exchange.
