lack of cllleleut lueaus to assimilate

This Italian pastor naed his gifts and
opportunities to do Just what native
leaders and guklea bare done here
among natives. He has not produced
k little Italy amoug the American hills,
but an up to date town In which his
Italian pariah loners feel at home and
find Incentives to decency, thrift and
order. There must be more of good
than evil In the average Immigrant
who risks so much and travels so far
to Cud a home. The Rev. Paginate de
Ktaco haa worked on the good traits
and minimised the evil ones, setting
a colony on the highroad to true Amer

Banishing Poverty.
China Is sdoptlug uieaua of relief
for the poor who are made so by over
crowding which are of Interest here
t this time. The large cities of our
land are crowded with people who
hare no means of support. Thla Is to
be expected aa a sequel to every reac
tion In business. Temporary relief Is
given and history repeated with ev
trjr fluctuation of prosperity. It Is be
UcveJ that the poor wbo ask for cbar
tty U hard times are unfortunates and
cannot help their condition. It might
be cheaper In the end for philanthropy
to expend $10 on permanent relief
Where $1 merely gives temporary ben
efit China proposes to go Into her over
crowded provinces and take out the
poor, providing for them permanent
homes In Manchuria, where they will
soon be able to maintain themselves.
Every male emigrant will be given out
right ten acres of arable land which
will be free from taxes for five years.
All the seed, tools and animals re
quired for stocking and working the
tittle farm will be furnished by the
government free of charge. The gov
ernmenfs outlay on the start Is for
transportation and equipment Eventu
ally the new farm will pay taxes on
the bulk of products, so the net result
of the enterprise Is the creation of a
new factor of national prosperity out
of wholly useless and costly element
of society. If the poor who are now
Swelling the ranka on the bread lines
and around the soup kitchens of Amer
ican cities are worthy and merely un
fortunate. It would be a measure of
economy as well as Justice to give
each family ten acres and a "stake" to
work oat their own poverty cure.
To Pernors the Criminal Brand.
, Taking revenge upon convicts for
wrongs committed seems to be going
out of fashion In America. Recently
prison garb was ordered abolished la
a New York prison because the wear
ing of stripes was a constant remind
er to the convict that he waa nnder
the ban of society and had no hope In
life. A Baltimore aid society has tak
en another step to pave the way for
the reclamation of criminals after the
law haa been satisfied.
The Baltimore plan Is to transfer the
liberated criminal from the prison
workshop to a factory maintained by
the society, where he may earn his
Own living, and meanwhile the society
will look for an opening for more
profitable occupation. This halfway
house of reform will prevent the re
leased convict from drifting back Into
aasodatlona which might lead to a
second lapse from the straight path.
Many prisoners are good and faithful
workmen In the prison shops, bat
when released And difficulty in get
ting work because of their records.
Sociologists will be Interested In this
new experiment at removing the bar
of ostracism which has always stood
between the ex -convict and the respect
able element of society.
So far the Increased price of white
paper has not diminished the fury of
the snowstorms on the stage during
any of the modern thrilling melodrs
"Mines pie Is not Injurious If you
can digest It," says a physician. The
amine holds true, we presume, of shoe

The attention now being paid to
those who hare lived to be over a
asmdred Is almost enoug to repay
tbetn for the trouble.

Mere! tffert of Athletics.
Aside from Its phyatcal effect, the
Boral effect of athletics. In the case of
the soldier at least, la of no small val
ae. My experience haa been that men
are less likely to drink In the football
or baseball season, even though they
may be addicted to the use of Intoxi
cants. And thla though no special ef
fort may bare been made along these
lines by those In charge of the sports.
The class of men who go In tor ath
letics and excel hi such contests are
the most desirable soldiers and the
best all round men. Still another ad
vantage of athletics Is that good ath
letic teams and the reputation for a
post of having champion teams draw
good recruits and soldiers to enlist
there. Army and Navy Life.
Profanity.
The more Ignorant the man the more
he swears. When yon hear a man
swearing It la a sign that he la an Ig
norant man and haa lived In uncul
tured surroundings all his life. A well
kaowa writer on the development of
language asserts that the use of ex
pletives has been steadily diminishing
aa a result of the cultivation that ren
ders coarseness generally distasteful.
Apart from the moral aspects of the
case. It la held that what majr be called
the explosives of talk not only repel
the listener, bat weaken the argument
An excess of gestures or facial expres
sion, of grtmsces, shrugs and manual
floartahea, either shows the poverty of
the tongue or the lightness of the
cans advocated. Atchison Globe.
The Thrifty Chinese.
Oa a visit to one of the United States
fleet to Hongkong one of the coolies
engaged la passing coal was acciden
tally caught hi the machinery and had
his leg so badly crushed that it was
decided necessary to amputate It Thla
waa explained to the fellow, and after
much persuasion he was Induced to
abmtt to the sleeping medicine and
have the leg taken off. He recovered
In remarkably quick time and when
able to leave the ship where he was
confined was given a handful of mon
ey tbe officers had collected for him,
amounting tp about $50 gold. In less
than a day's time the ship was be
sieged by an army of Chinese, all clam
oring to have a leg taken off.
A Point en Your Penoil.
"A Bavarian pencil? Tea, sir," said
the stationer's clerk. "Ton find the
wood so much better In these Import
ed pencils?- Well, It Is undoubtedly a
One quality of cedar. But" the clerk
smiled "but all tbe cedar for foreign
pencils," he went on, "comes from this
country, sir. It comes from Florida.
Florida produces the finest lead pencil
cedar In the world. Thousands of
acres of rich Florida land are given
over to cedar production. Ah, so you'll
take a dozen domestic pencils, then,
sir? Well, I assure you that the same
quality of Florida cedar Is used hi
them as In tbe more expensive foreign
article." New Orleans Times-Democrat

After a concert at Manchester, Eng
land, Joachim, the great violinist, was
at a station, waiting for a train.
A respectable looking man, apparent
ly a navvy In his best clothes, paced at
his side awhile, watching him with
close interest Finally be asked for a
light, and got It As he drew at bis
pipe to get it started he looked Joachim
full In the face. Then, just as he was
about to go on, he tapped the violinist's
chest Impressively.
"But Paganlni was the man," said
he.
Joachim used to say, declares the
narrator of this story, that he never
felt so small In his life. Whole pages
of learned musical criticism had never
begun to whittle him down so fine.
An Unpleasant Office.
Tbe task assigned to tbe bellboy at
a small New England hotel was no
sinecure, and he realised It, for the
old gentleman wbo had requested that
he be wakened for an early breakfast
was extremely deaf.
T don't know what I'll do about tbe
man in No. 41 that wanted to go off
on the 7 o'clock train," tbe bellboy an
nounced breathlessly to tbe proprie
tress, "Haven't you waked him up yet?"
demanded that brisk person.
Tve waked him three times," said
the boy sulkily, "but be hasn't heard
me yet. Everybody else has, though,
on that floor. I know, because they've
all hollered to me to stop battering on
their doors." Youth's Companion.
Sleep Fasting Contests.
"Sleep fasting matches, before tbe
law put a stop to them, took place fre
quently In this country," said a special
ist In Insomnia. "Yes. back In the fif
ties and sixties sleep fasting was as
popular a form of tport as football.

Mueller of Milwaukee, whose record
was 142 hours and 57 minutes.
"Why were Bleep fasts so popular

A Story of a Pariah.
In the current number of McCnrsM
Magaslne there la a story of tbe work
doue by an Italian pastor In an Amer
ican laboring community made up of
his own countrymen. A remarkable
bit of missionary work Is described,
work that recalls tbe old time minis
ter on the border of civilisation when
one good man's example and persua
slwuees leavened the whole lump of
careless, seinsb and pleasure loving
humanity, keeping order and progress
to the fore. Tbe record Is a very old
one lu the history of church labors,
but becomes significant and Interesting
In thla case because It sbowa what
may be doue with our raw Immigrant
material.
The one sad feature attending the
marvelous Influx of immigrants of all
classes Into this country has been the
lack of ettlolout meaus to assimilate
