All Peaples of the liarth Mepre
sented in the Millions Seeking
Homes In This Country.
Armies equal in sie to the one
we seni in l:runce land every two
years on our shores, and ut the
present time millions are said to
be wailing in enier. Since HIOO
more than thirieen million iuiuii
grams haye eniered this country,
and approximately one-ihird of
our present populaiion of more
lhanone hundred millins are im
migrants or the children of iinnii
granis. Two-ihirds of the popula
iion of New York state and three
fourths of that of our greai cities
are foreign born or the children of
foreign-born parenis. l-'rom a
fourth to a half of the population
of the large cities of the South are
negroes. Already we are the niosi
heterogeneous people on earth;
here are found representatives of
every race and tongue and culiure
in the world, and still ihey contin
ue 10 come in enormous numbers.
It is doubiftil 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 thiny mil
lion persons in this country who
are foreign born or the children
of foreign-horn parents there are
from eighi to nine million Ger
mans, four to five million Irish,
about three millions from Great
Britain, about three million Slavs,
from two 10 three million Scandi
navians, more than iwo 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 iu 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 lone 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
boihrs, what would you do?"
The engineer looked pu.zled 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, lo you.
I look with longing o'er the hills and plains
I cry to the cold skies
Far dashing down their desolate while rains
Over pour dreaming eyes.
1 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 ihe wild unrest
Biner, 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 ihe sun
To all eternity,
Dream still; and in your dreams may there be one
Beautiful dream of me!

Heart ol a Muid.
Lo! there was once an artistic
maiden who did things cleverly
and wore bobbed hair and smocks.
Her art was really very bad, nor
the maiden unaware of it. She
haM ihree suitors and she was sore
perplexed until one day suitor No.
I said, "I shall be traiiK. t our
art is very bad, but I love you."
Qhe Hkmissed him.
Qniinr N,i 2 said. "Your art is;
very good."
The maiden said to him,
"Prithee, sir, do you not agree
willv me that in places il is a bit er
crude?"
He answered ihe maiden. "Now
thai you speak of it. I agree with
you thai 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 art is
perfect. It delights my soul, li
is true art, without Haw. 1 love
you."
The maiden knew in her heart
that her lover lied and she straight
way married hint.
JUBILANT JUBILEE.
"Some years ago," suvs an
American who used lo live in Lon
don, "before Queen Vicioria's
deaih and uImui ihe lime die
queen's jubilee was celebraied,
there was overheard this conver
sation between two old Scotchwo
men on a street corner:
" 'Can ye tell me, wuinman,
what is il they call a jubilee?'
" 'Weel, ii's this,' said the other.
'When fulks has been married
twenty-five years, that's a silver
wuddin'; and when they have
been married fifty years that's a
golden wuddin'. Bui if the mon's
dead then it's a jubilee.' "

THE HOWLINU UOd.
Are you superstitious? asked
Topley of his neighbor.
Well, I don't know, replied Win
ion. Give me a case to deal with.
Suppose a dog stood howling on
your doorstep at midnight, ex
plained Topley, would you regard
il 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

A young wife remonstrated with
her husband, a dissipated spend'

he, I am like the prodigal son; I
