NEW IMMIGRANTS.
Walter W. Husband, an agent of the
I'uited States department of commerce
and labor, has just returned to Herliu
alter an .ono mile trip through the in
terior ef Russia, investigating the con
ditions of Russian emigration to the
I'tiited States on the spot.
This work of Mr. Husband's indicates
the attention paid by the department to
questions of this nature.
the orthodox Russians,
! from the Russian Jews
Emigration of
in distinction
who have for
; 'ears made Ui so large a portion of the
; si ream of human traffic to the Fnited
' States, began only recently and the d -
ipurtment empowered Mr. Husband to
j make this extended trip to discover the
'conditions which were leading them to
seek the Fnited States whether they
were being induced to do so against the
'provision, of the raw on contract labor,
and whether they would probably form
permanent elements of the American
population. It is understood that, on
. the lirst point a satisfactory answer was
! received. It would appear, however,
that these Russian emigrants, like too
. many others of our floating population,
go to the Fnited States only with the
j intention of remaining long enough to
hoard up a little fortune which will en
! able them to return and live in comfort
in their home country.
! Mr. Husband's work is -watched with
' interest by his many friends in Yei -i
mont. lie broke into the newspaper
game as reporter on the St. Johnsbury
Caledonian and later was connected
with the Montpelier Journal. He went
to Washington as Senator Dillingham's
private secretary and was afterward
one of the secretaries of the national
immigration commission. He has made
a, special study of immigration prob
lems for years and Senator Henry Cab
ot Lodge once paid a great compliment
by saying that he knew more about im
migration questions than any man in
America.

Mrs. (Jteen was born in New Hed-

financial instinct came. There is a
story which she herself tells about the
check which her father gave her when
she was a girl, to be used for new
frocks. She immediately turned it
over to her grandfather to be invested.
She married Fdward H. Creon in 1 st',7.

NEW YORKERS LIBERAL.
That the people of New York city
i are liberal in their support of worthy
objects is shown by the good results
that have been obtained by the
campaign to raise $1,000,000 for V.
M. C A. ami V. W. V. A. needs in
tht1 'metropolis. Already three-quarters
of the amount lias been secured,
and while the last quarter is always
harder than the first there is little
doubt about the success of the cam
paign. There arc of course plenty of New
Yorkers who could furnish the entire
amount if it were necessary, but that
is not the best way to have funds
of that sort provided. It is much
better to have a million $1 subscrip
tions than one subscription of a mil
lion, because it would indicate so
much more of an interest in the un
dertaking. The people of New York spend a
lot of money on unnecessary things,
but when a demand is made on them
for something worth while, thov moot
-
it with a liberality that is most cred
itable. "The Father of Labor Dav ' ' Oeorre

hand which holds the blacking brush.
whether for shoes or the stove, and
. prevent soiling the hand. Use bags
to put over the cleaned lamp chim
j neys; then when the lamp is wanted
: the chimney will be bright and shin
l ing.
j Slip a bag ovA a bowl or pitcher of
! milk when setting away, or when used
i in a sick room. A paper bag slipped
j over a small bowl when beating
j cream, with a place cut at the bot
; torn for the handle of the beat-
er to come through, will save spatter
ing yourself and the table.
' Put a box of good 6oil in your cel
, lar so that in the spring you will have
it ready to plant your seeds.
Never travel without a flax seed in
I your handbag. Then if you or your
' neighbor gets a cinder in the eye.
moisten one and drop it in. The gel
atinous covering of the seed will
quickly gather up the foreign body
unless it is imbedded in the eyeball.
One of the first things to try with
j a strangling child is to take him by
! the legs and shake him. When he
opens his mouth to cry, the foreign
j body will fall out. A smart blow on
I the back will often help to dislodge
anything in the throat.
If the substance cannot be reached

try to force it down, for the vocal or
gans may thus be injured.
When steaming velvet, put a fun
nel into the spout of the tea kettle.
This will spread the steam over a
larger surface and the work is more
quickly done.
Children may be taught by means
of their dolls the polite way of intro
duction. How to send and aceept in
vitations to teas and dinners, the
proper greetings and adieux and many
of the social customs of the day. It
ill be a game for them, but the
; KD-nvledge will be invaluable all
through life. One may easily tell the
; training a child has had by the tone
invoice used in play.
Labor unrest through England is
(becoming acute. Leaders of various
unions are denouncing the government
, I or not passing a minimum wage bill
inflecting all industries, and a national
j walkout may be the outcome.
Experiments by a large telephone
company havp proved that 1.S00 wires
can be crowded into the same size ca
ble heretofore used for onlv l,'2o0
wires without imparing their efficiency.
Do the selecting of Christmas gifts in
your head, and then you won't be led to
buy pretty things that nobody can use.
