The average citizen, considering the immigration problem in this country from the point of view of a casual observer is apt togivemuch' attention to the steerage figures and to give himself little concern about the records for cabin passengers. This is but natural, yet a little at tention to the cabin lists, from the numerical standpoint, will not go unrewarded. For, example, it is in teresting to know that a new record for this class of passengers in one day at the poit of New York : was made by five big liners on Sunday. The total number for the five ships was 3,450, and the customs force on duty included 175 inspectors and 24 appraisers. The George Wash ington alone landed 1,024 cabin passengers; the Columbia, 501 from Glasgow; the ( edrie, 725; the Cleve land, 895; and the Touraine 305. While it is probable that a con siderable proportion of the total were Americans returning from Europe, it is by no means unreasonable to assume that t'here was a goodly sprinkling of foreigners in the num ber, some of whom are trainsients and others of whom may become citizens of the United States. . It is not an invariable mark of supeiior respectability to travel as a cabin passenger rather than in the steerage. It is, however, naturally regarded observers as an indication of more comfortable financial circumstances. it Saved His Leg. "All thought I'd lose my leg, writes J. A. Swenson, WatertOwn, Wis., "Ten years of eczema, that 15 doctors cowld not cure, had at last laid me up. Then Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured it sound and well." In fallible for Skin Eruptions, Eczema, Salt Rhetun, Boils, Fever Sores, Burns, Scalds, Cuts and Piles. 2c at Freemau Drug Co. . The Swearing Cure. New York World. Science runs to simple remedies these days. Since Metcbnikoff dis covered the fountain of perpetual youih in the bottle of buttermilk all who will mav be centenarians. To rid a community of yellow fever it is only necessary to kill enough mosquitoes, and in nine cases out of ten probably tuberculosis can be cured by the cheap open-air treat ment. The discovery of a London doctor that swearing is helpful to health is in line with up-to-date me dical methods. . , According to the 'theory of this emineDt British practitioner, when a man is moved to anger he produces a surplus of physical energy and subjects his brain to a severe strain. By wa of relief he may run or kick or lump up ana aown or smasn things in general. But for a cheap and convenient remedy profanity is recommended on the ground that When greatly irritated even birds and animals express their emotions volubly and violently. It may gratify many 10 learn that for years they have been unconsciouoly pro tecting their health by indulgence in what moral teachers regard as a reprehensible habit. In view of the new scientific light thrown on the subject, possible on the field of Waterloo Combronne saved his -life by his famous exploit as a swearer. It had not been that "the army swore terribly in Flan ders," few of them might have lived to go home to England.. s Still, be fore jumping to rash conclusions it may be well to scrutinize closely the rates of mortality among persons who do not swear, as well as among thoscpeople ; who are" deprived of the exceptional' opportunities for profane speech available to the English-speaking race.
