OF EVERY RACE AND TONGUE.
All Peaples ol the Earth Repre
sented In the Millions Seeking
Homes in This Country.
Armies equal in sue 10 the one
we sent 10 France land every two
years on our shores, and ai the
present time millions are said to
be wailing to enter. Since 1900
more than thirteen million immi
grants have entered this country,
and approximately one-third of
our present population of more
than one hundred millins are im
migrants or the children of immi
grants. Two-thirds of the popula
tion of New York stale and three
fourths of thai of our great cities
are foreign born or the children of
foreign-bom parents, l-'rom a
fourth to a half of the population
of the large cities of the South are
negroes. Already we are the most
heterogeneous people on earth;
here are found representatives of
every race and tongue and culture
in the world, and still they contin
ue to come in enormous numbers,
It is doubtful whether any other
migration in the history of man
kind compares in magnitude with
that which has been converging on
America during the past twenty
years. The sources and magni
tude of this migration are indica
ted by the following general sum
mary: Of more than thirty mil
lion persons in this country who
are foreign born or the children
of foreign-born parents there are
from eight to nine million Ger
mans, four to five million Irish,
about three millions from Great
Britain, about three million Slavs,
from two to three million Scandi
navians, more than two million
Italians and about two million He
brews, while all other races and
nations constitute about five mil
lions. PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS.
Captain Recognized Prospective
Marine Engineer as a Man After
His Own Heart.
They are so close in some parts
of Scotland that the lakes can't get
enough water, and have to go dry.
A visitor tells the story of a
Scotchman, a prospective marine
engineer, who was being examined
by the captain.
The skipper asked a number of
difficult questions in order to con
fess the applicant, but the latter
was always ready with an answer.
Finally, in a tone of deepest con
cern, the captain asked :
"Now, suppose the water in
your injector was working proper
ly, your boiler check was not stuck,
or your pipes clogged, but you
were not getting any water in your
boiUrs, what would you do?"
The engineer looked puzzled for
a moment, unable fully to grasp
the situation; then, with a knowing
smile on his Face, he answered : .
"I'd go up on deck and see
whether there was any water in
the lake."
"You'll do," said the captain.
. IT'S FICKLE AS A WOMAN.
How can we expect the forecast
officials to tell what the weather
will do when the weather itself
does not know?

FROM LANDS AFAR.
BY FRANK L. STANTON.
Love cannot ease his longing heart to say
If skies are dim or blue,
Nor waft one prayer from lips you taught to pray,
Sweetheart, to you.
I look with longing o'er the hills and plains
I cry to the cold skies
Far dashing down their desolate white rains
Over pour dreaming eyes.
I shiver in a world of bloom, and light,
Fronting a heaven above;
Knowing the night the dark, dividing night
Is over one 1 love.
And Oh! the sorrow and the wild unrest
Bitter, and dark, and deep!
1 could not lay one flower on your dear breast
If God should whisper, "Sleep!"
Yet till the last sad shadow veils the sun
To all eternity,
Dream still; and in your dreams may there be one
Beautiful dream of me!
Published By Request.

Heart of a Maid.
Lo! there was once an artistic
maiden who did things cleverly
and wore be bbed hair and smocks.
Her art was really very bad, nor
the maiden unaware of it. She
ha,) three suitors and she was sore
perplexed until one day suitor No.
I said, "I shall be frank, lour
an is very bad, but I love you."
She dismissed him.
Suitor No. 2 said. "Your art is
very good."
The maiden said to him,
"Prithee, sir, do you not agree
witlkme that in places it is a bit-er
crude?"
He answered the maiden. "Now
that you speak of it. I agree with
you that in places it is a bit er
crude." And she cast him forth
from her Father's threshold.
Suitor No. 3 spoke unto the
maiden in this wise: "Your an is
perfect. It delights my soul. It
is true art, without Haw. 1 love
you."
The maiden knew in her heart
that her lover lied and she straight
way married him.
JUBILANT JUBILEE.
vears alio." says an
American who used n live in Lon
don, "before Queen Victoria's
deaih and alcut the lime the
queen's jubilee was celebrated,
there was overheard this conver
sation between two old Scotchwo
men on a sirect corner;
" 'Can ye tell me, wuiuman,
what is it they call a jubilee?'
" 'Weel, it's this,' said the other.
'When folks has been married
twenty-five years, that's a silver
wuddin'; and when ihey have
been married fifty years that's a
golden wuddin'. But if the moil's
dead then it's a jubilee.' "

THE HOWLINQ DOO.
Are you superstitious? asked
Topley of his neighbor.
Well, I don't know, replied Win
ton. Give me a case to deal with.
Suppose a dog stood howling on
your doorstep at midnight, ex
plained Topley, would yeu regard
it as a sure sign of death?
A grim look shone in the other
man's eyes. Yes, I should if the
dog stayed long enough.
QUITE SO.
"The Browns named their baby
after Julius Caesar.,'
"Why, the crazy idea! What
did they do that for?"
"Because he was born too late
for them to name him before him."
WHAT SHE HAD HEARD.

nice hand and then what do you
say when auntie is going home?
Little Lucy (shy and embarrassed)
At last!
ARTISTIC IMPROVEMENT.
Do you think it's wrong for a
woman to paint her face?

enne. Sometimes it's a kindness.

PROPERLY QUALIFIED.
The generous who 's always
just, and the just who is always
generous, may, unannounced, ap
proach the throne of heaven.
A young wife remonstrated with
her husband, a dissipated spend
thrift, for his conduct. Love, said
he, I am like the prodigal son; I
shall reform by and by. I will be
like the prodigal son, ton, she re
plied, for I will arise and go to my
father.
It is sweet to suffer when we
suffer for those we love.
