The Immigrant

THE SIEVE. BY Feri Felix Weiss Pub
lished by the Page Company.
THIS entertaining book, written by
man who came to this country in
1892 and who has been for thirteen
years an inspector of immigration,
having in that time examined over
100000 immigrants, is peculiarly IL
Eliminating treatment Of serious con-
dition. We refer to the many ways in
which foreigners, especially men, sift
in past the barriers of inspection using
illegal means. Not all the book is de-
voted to this phase of the general prob
lem. There are many pages filled with
curious and instructive stories about
immigrants, their characteristics and
their behavior under inspection. A
book on a national topic written by one
who knows the facts.

IALlPUT LEAVES. By j. rhurber Wing

Price S.
x TlSHNu, we are told, one day in
v his pity wrote upon many
leaves Of the taliput tree mes
sages Of instruction to the people of
the earth. But while he was strincinc
them together upon cord, lndra, fear
ing that his own power would be les
sened if men became enlightened, blew
a mighty tempest, which scattered the
leaves far and wide. The leaves fut-
tered to the ground in many lands,
where they became transformed into
various objects of beauty and utility,
so that not one was lost or wasted.
Mr.. Wing thus employs the title of
his book effectively, not subjectively.
He is not guilty Of the presumption
Of applying it to his own pages, as
though they were gleanedup leaves of
Nishnu's writing, but he denotes by it
the things which he describes-temples
music, flowers, rivers, statues and what
not else. His wanderings led him
through Japan, French China, Ceylon
and Hindustan all countries where
Nishnu's name is known and where
there are to be seen in bewidering
profusion scenes of the rarest and
richest beauty, such as may we'll be
regarded as emanations of divinity.
Indeed, when one beholds the Golden
Lily Tank at Madura or the Tai Mahal
at Agra, the sapphire lilies Of Suzaki
or the Mountains Of the Sky from Dar-
jeeling, one who is no worshiper of
Vishnu may well preceive in them
heavenly gift to man, the gift Of SOW
