Aliens from I 1 Europe are pouring into the country I at the rate of 900,000 a year, and the I problem of assimilation has become more pressing than ever before. The tide of Immigration is rapidly mountlevels, and for months ing, to pre-wEllis island, the great gateway, has been choked. Ships have been forced to tie up for days before discharging their steerage passengers, and on the island it is not unusual for as many as 3,000 Immigrants to be detained for the night in sleeping quarters designed for the accommodation of half as many. Floors, benches and chairs are filled with the overflow . from the dormitories, and hundreds i . ar sleep on their fet. The melting pot is boiling over, and the congestion will increase with each passing month. Steamship men say their accommodations are booked for a full year ahead. Poles and Italians especially are coming in swarms, and It is certain that as soon as the way is clear for them, Germans will enter America In vast numbers. j That the problem of assimilation may be a little less difficult to solve, despite Its magnitude. Is indicated by the fact that so many of the younger generation are now on the manifests of .the incoming vessels, writes John Walker Harrington in the New York Herald The death of so many fathers In the war has caused hundreds of thousands of families on the other side to try a hazard of new fortunes in the Land of Promise. Many widows, some of them with two or three children, are reaching the country by means of money sent to them by friends and relatives. To the children the New World comes with a rush of experiences. To them, until they are passed upon, it seems one of green sward and of blue sea, of changing skies and of passing ships. Speaking Universally. Hhotos Uncfo-to- Independence. True Independence is one of the best assets of character. It raises life to higher standards. It makes a man conscious of his mission and increases his There is no need of it making a man overbearing or snobbish. In fact the opposite is more likely to be true. True independence helps a fellow to recognize and respect the worth-whil- e in others. Instead of being a leaner it helps a man to come a prop for some fellow, who can be made strong by the right influence. Under other regimes the detained immigrants True independence teaches a man to were kept penned like dumb driven cattle, and tq be one of the group whose greatest joy them the United States meant for many hours Is to make others better..

If a house plant happens to get frozen during the winter, it should be removed immediately to a cool, dark room and drenched with cold water. The supposition that a plant should be revived with warm water and heated air is wrong, as the treatment must be gradual. Profit and Loss.

' ' medi- It Swamp-Roo- ' The little island of Rotheneuif, oft the coast of France, has for its sole inhabitant an eccentric hermit who for many years has devotpd much of his time to carving humanlike figures out of the rocks which slope down to the sea. There are hundreds of them mostly lying on their backs, as if staring up at the sky, but some in a seated posture and a few standing erect. The effect is described by the Popular Science Monthly as weird and unearthly, the figures looking like petrified men. They are understood to represent biblical characters. Along the top of the wall in front of the hermits dwelling are a number of heads, likewise carved out of stone. The. hermitage is on the summit of the rocks, overlooking the carven shore and the sea.

He had come w ith his brother, a maker of bead bags, to see what1 the new country had in store. At six he has the vision of his adopted land. His father, a cavalryman, was killed in the war and as his mother had no other ties except those on the western shore of the Atlantic they had come hither to bring up Jean as a citizen of this republic. At an impressionable age, the children, who are temporarily detained on the island, our largest entrepot for the new citizenry, are learning through concerts and addresses, and through music, many valuable lessons of life. A very large number of them are at schooFage or a little less, and they are coming here at a time when they are best fitted to absorb the traditions and the history of the country to which fate has ; brought them. The disruption of families caused by deaths In the war abroad has at the same time brought to this country immigrants who are mainly younger than the average, as far as may be observed off hand. A detailed study of statistics along this line has not been made, but the general impression is given, after seeing shipload after shipload of the future Americans, that there is a preponderance not only of young women, especially of young mothers, in the newly arrived of the gentler sex, hut that the pen who are landing here In quest of fortune are more youthful and more alert in appearance than the immigrants ef previous years Rarely one sees the bent and decrepit who have come over with sons and daughters to begin their lives anew In the changed . world. More Permanent Claes Arrives. The presence of so many families, although often bereft of fathers, indicates a more permanent class than usual. There are not so many unattached male Immigrants Italians, Austrians and the like who in former years sought the United States only to avail themselves of high wages and to return with their savings to their original environment. Up to the first of July there had arrived at American ports 247,625 men and boys, and 182,376 women and children, which Is somewhat In excess on the feminine side. In January the two genders were about equally divided and in the succeeding months the males ' gradually Increased in numbers. Of this grand total, 430,001, it Is noted that 173,133 are set down as having no occupation, this classification Including women and children. The hopes of those who are looking for cooks and I'arlor maids and experts in all lines of domestic service are likely to be unfulfilled for a time at least, as only 37,197 servants have come and 5,802 have gone away from New York. Among the Immigrants- who arrived up to July 1 of this year, 12,442 had professional occupations, the largest class, that of teachers, being represented by 2,122 r individuals. , Among the trades and' skilled occupation clerks and accountants lead with 12,681, and car-- . penters and joiners numbed, 743, while there is a s. good respresentation of masons and stone miscellaneous occupaAmong the tions are found 81,732, which however, is not nearly as promising a figure as it seems, as during the same period 183,820 laborers s left the country. There have been admitted 15,257 farm laborers, as compared with 2,754 who have emigrated. The country has gained 12,192 farmers in the same period and lost 11,262 through emi. gration. . , Where They Are Going. Just how far the Industrial situation In the United States will be benefited by the new arrivals may be gleaned from a table showing the Intended future residence of aliens up to July 1. It may be safely assumed that they. actually go to The inducement of high the points Indicated. factory wages has kept the majority of them near the Atlantic seaboard. Thus New York state has received 106.630, Massachusetts 41.594, Connect!-- ) cut 13,212 and Pennsylvania 27,337. Some of, (he middle western states, such as Ohio, Illinois and Michigan, have gained large quotas, and in California a gain of 32,502 is reported. With the exception of Texas, where the oil boom and other causes have brought an influx of population, Including 38,115 aliens this year up to July 1, the South has not fared so well. Many rich agricultural areas in the middle of the country or beyond the Mississippi have been neglected. The trend Is still toward the huge manufacturing cities, and the much vexed problem of unequal distribution' continues, ns shown by the official returns. There is much promise of .better conditions, however. In the division of distribution, established by Commissioner Wallis, and placed by him In charge of P. A; Donohue, a veteran investigator of the department of labor. It is the function of this bureau tc see to it that the immigrants know about the opportunities for employment which are open to them in the less congested, areas of the country. The recently completed census of the United States has shown stronger than ever before the trend toward the municipalities. ? Not only does the new comer seek the city where may find his kith and kin, and submerge himself In a colony, but there is also a drift of the native horn American from the rural to the urban communities. Plane. Wallis "Immigration, said Commissioner Wallis, "has part than It should In this un-- -' , played a greater desirable segregation. This has been largely due to the fact that the Immigrant when he arrives here often has very little Idea of the extent of the country, and of the many opportunities which are before him, if he will consider them. For this reason, we are making clear to immigrants while they ore on the island that they have the whole United States before them. We are arranging for popular talks in various languages In which the diversified nature of the country will be explained. There are to be moving picture shows devoted to views of different states, especially those which have large agricultural regions which need development. "Now that this movement Is under way and we have at least a skeleton organization to carry it from out, we have received offers of all over the country. We are now in touch with chambers of commerce, with boards of trade, with employment committees of the state, so that we lomay know the needs which confront all these calities. For instance, I receive a letter or telegram from sortie company In Ohio telling of the 'need for soft coal miners there, or again a certain section of Pennsylvania has a dearth of farmers. As this phase of our work Is being ex- - . 1 . JbyJjfacferttoocf ot tended we hope to have a classified record of all the wants of the various sections of the country. If there Is a strong demand for miners we will be able to know It at once and. place the represen-- tatlves of the mining companies In direct touch 'with men who are accustomed to that kind of work t.-- who have the physique and the skill to b trained Into it. Although efforts have been made by individuals and societies to solve this problem of distribution, there is a clause of the immigration law, I find, which will permit the Immigration officials to assist in the work of distribution on a far larger scale than has ever been attempted in the United States. Men of large vision have recognized the great need of this work and have even supported it, hut the time has come to take' up this matter on a large national scale. In years past the immigrant on his arrival here has gone largely where he happened to drift, and there have been flagrant cases where his confidence has been abused. He has been overcharged and even1 robbed, and often he is exploited for the selfish gain of those who should be drawn to him by ties of race. We see to It that immigrant does not leave this island until we are satisfied that he will not become a public charge or get a wrong start through his Ignorance of the ways of this country. The immigrants who arrive here are held until we have satisfied ourselves that they will be settled In some community where they will have the advice and assistance of relatives and friends. We have also the of various organizations, such as the Y. M. C. A., who give us volunteer aids, whose task it is to see that the Immigrants get to their destinations, and are so fairly treated that they will get a fair chance to start in life anew in their strange environments. Well Provided With Money. A phase of the Immigration of the present Is that, on Uie whole, the newly come have far more money tltn did the aliens who reached here before the war. Commissioner Wallis declared that an average of $100 apiece is about the amount with which an immigrant now reaches this country. Taken all in ail, he continued, he might be considered almost wealthy compared with those who came here many years ago, apd yet we do not accept the mere possession of cash as any sign that a man will not become a public charge. We would rather take the risk with a man with $10 If he has a good trade and a Job waiting for him, and has friends in- this country, than 'we would a man who may have several thousands of dollars and yet seem to have no ability and no Initiative. One of the veteran Inspectors remarked sadly and reminiscently that there are now no types coming over the water. A glance at the long lines in the station on Ellis , island bears out this observation. There are comparatively few of the picturesque native costumes to be seen the short trousers, the flowing robes, the elaborately embroidered jackets and the corded bodices of peasant garb. Most of the immigrants are in garments which have almost an American look. The women especially have followed the prevailing French modes with the short skirts and the low cut collars, such as are seen in our Fifth avenue. Another broadening effect of the war may be observed in the greater spirit of fraternity and courtesy which now pervades Ellis Island, for the newcomers do not seem so strange and outlandish, and like creatures of another world; as they have In other decades. The present commissioner, on his coming to the station, saw to it that a new attitude In tills respect was Introduced, for the days of brief authority vaunted at the expense of the ordinazy amenities of life have passed. The new order of things provides that the Immigrant shall be welcomed as a man and a brother, and the whole tone of the station has been nltered to conform with that ideal. Hence the new regime meets the requirements of this present age, and welcomes those who are admitted at the harbor gate, not as aliens, but as new Americans. v . tf Since he had been to France he was very fond of airing his slight knowlOn leaving his edge of French. friend one wen in g said: Au revoir !

There lived in an English town a wealthy but exceedingly tight old lady, who kept very few servants and paid them as little as possible. Among these was an underfed, miserable-looking lad of fourteen, who answered the door, did the dishwashing, waited at table, weeded the garden, washed the dog and a few other things.' One day a visitor asked this lad: Well, my boy, and what do you do around here? I do a butler, a kitchen maid and a gardener out of a Job, replied the boy gravely. Cuticura Soap for the Complexion.
