to be attributed to the fashion the

young men, and has led to a curious
custom.

charms and does not know her name or
how to become acquainted with her, he
walks by her windows of an afternoon,

side glances at the object of Ms admira

inclined to encourage him, she remains

Interesting Features of tne Immi
gration to'this Country.
The Bureau- of Statistics has lately
published a volume showing the arrivals
of immigrants in the United States
from 1820 tin til 1888, which presents
very many features of interest and is
well worthy of study by all sociologists.
The Irish were the first people strongly
attracted to America, and in numbers
led all nations from 1820 down to 1854.
These tables show very clearly the social
and political conditions of the foreign
countries which influenced emigration.
The period of Irish agitation under
O’Connell marks the increase of Irish
emigration. In 1834 the number jumped
from about 9,000 the year previous to
25,000. In 1842, when the repeat of
the corn laws was agitated, another
jump was taken to 51,000, increasing
steadily under the succeeding years of
distress and famine to 105,000 in 1847,
112,000 in 1848, 160,000 in 1849,167,000
in 1850, and 221,000 in 1851, the high-
water mark of Irish immigration to this
country.
Before 1832 the Germans came over
at the rate of -from 1,500 to 2,000 an
nually, but in that year the number
increased to 10,000, and from that time
averaged over that number until 1839,
when they reached 21,000, increasing
rapidly until the number reached
50,000, 60,000 and 70,000 a year. In
1851 it was 72,000, in 1852 145,000, and
in 1854 215,000. The highest point of
German immigration was reached in
1881, when 249,572 persons were regis
tered as coming from Germany, and in
1882, 232,269. The great increase of
Gennan immigration began in 1846, the
time when Europe was in the ferment
of revolution.
The Scandinavian people did not
commence to get interested in this
country until 1843, when 1,748 arrived,
and the number averaged about 2,500 a
until 1866., when it doubled, in-

has fallen off but very litt’e from these
figures, 1888 showing 65,000.
Up to 1854 the Chinese came only ih
very small numbers, but in that year,
drawn by the reports of the California
gold field-, they came in a swarm,
13,100 arriving. After that time they
came in batches of from four to seven
thousand every year until 1882, when
the first limitation law was passed
That year 35,614 came over, the greatest
number of any one year. The next
year the number was only 381, and
since .then almost none. Only one
arrived in 1888.
It was not until 1866 that the Italians
awakened to the fact that their golconda

Terrible Experience of a Kentuc'
With a Huge Reptile.
On a recent afternoon Mr. Clark Fari
ris, a well-known and highly respected
citizen of Lancaster, Ky., was walking
in Doty’s woods searching for a stray
mule. Happening to glance np through
the dense foliage, he saw a large dark-
brown reptile curled up in the fork of a
tree.
Never having seen one like it before,
he determined to kiil-it, and accordingly
began throwing stones at it. Great y
angered at this proceeding, the snake,
making a peculiar grating noise, crawled
quickly to the opposite side of the tree.
As Farris stepped around further to see
what had become of it, it suddenly
glided down the tree toward liim. Be
fore lie could spring aside it leaped with
a furious liissingupon his shoulders, and
in a twinkling coiled twice about liis
neck. Yelling with terror he started on
a dead run through the woods, at the
same time making frantic efforts to tear
away the monster, but in vain. It
gradually tightened its cbi 3, while the
flying man jerked his head this way and
that to avoid the close proximity of its
hideous visage. Almost choked, with
•Ms eye-balls starting out of tlieir sock
ets, Farris presently sank to the earth
and rolled over and over in the grass,
digging Ms nails into tlie serpent’s
body in a fearful stniggle to free him
self. But the snake’s great strength
was superior to that, of the man, for,
even in the midst of these energetic
movements, it coiled again and again
around liis neck. The conviction was
now forced upon him that, unless the
horrid constrictor could be made to
relax its terrib’e coils, he should be
strangled in a very few minutes. The
maneuvres he was now executing Were
as rapid as they were singular. He
tliraslied the weeds with his tossing
limbs, drew his body up into a knot and
finally turned a complete somersault
alighting on his hands and knees and
with Ms head pushed hard against the
ground. In this position he attempted
with both hands to remove Ms grisly foe
by forcing its coils up over the top of
liis head, but his efforts were unavail
ing. With a piercing shriek he started
up, plunged forward a few feet and again
fell, a stunning determination of blood
surging in his head. The snake poked
about with its fierce head, hissing in the
man’s ear or brushing his cheek with
its darting tongue. Twice he clutched
it by the neck with a grip of iron, and
twice it twisted out of his grasp.
It was a thrilling spectacle, with
prospects of a tragic termination. The
contracting coiis gradually reduced his
wild shouts for help to spasmodic
gurglings, wMle a tiny stream of liquid
saliva flowed from "his wide-gaping
mouth. Suddenly a gleam of hope tra
versed Ms. distorted features. Thrusting
his hand into hispocket with the celerity
of thought; he brought forth a pocket-
knife. The next instant he made a sav
age s’asli among the folds of Ms tor
mentor and it fell in a writhing heap
upon the ground. But he had not yet
fully wreaked liis revenge; Ms foe still
lived. He leaped to his feet. Setting
his heel hard upon the reptile’s head
and seizing it with one hand by the end
of the tail he plunged Ms knife through
its neck, and, drawing the blade longi
tudinally throughout its body, com
pletely disemboweled it. It measured
a little over seven feet in length.—

A Submarine Bridge.
A proposal recently brought forward
bv Herr Budolf Liiljeqvist, a Swedish
engineer, for effecting permanent rail
way communication between Sweden
and Copenhagen, merits some notice,
as introducing a new mode—never as
yet, however, put to the test of actual
experience—of carrying a line beneath
the sea. -
The distance between Elsinore and
Helsingborg is about two and a half
miles, and the passage is frequently
blocked in winter by ice preventing
navigation. The cost of an ordinary
bridge, which would, of necessity, have
to be carried sufficiently Mgh above sea-
level to offer no impediment to vessels,
would be prohibitive in a_ country but
sparsely populated and of limited finan
cial resources; while the additional
strength requisite in the piers to with
stand damage to the structure from the
floating blocks of ice would add very
materially to the estimates.
Charity in France.
In France there are no public funds
for the relief of the poor, and private
charity is almost wholly relied upon.
It appears, however, that French laws
are verv much opposed to private asso
ciations or individuals distributing char
itable funds, and require that this
should be done by officials. The ma
chinery provided for the purpose are
bureaus composed of persons two-thuras
of whom are nominated by the prefect
of the district- and one-third by the
communal authorities. _ No person can
found a charitable institution and sup
port it with Ms own money without ex
press authority from the state, nor can
he leave by will a sum of money for any
private individual to distribute in enar-
ity ; that duty must be performed by an
official.
A Whale Chase by Indians.
The Origonian to-day published a
thrilling account of a whale-chase by
Indians of the Neah Bay reservation
off Cape Flattery, in which one canoe
was lost and seven Indians were
drowned.
Tlie wa’es were discovered spouting
off the coast, and, following the customs
of the Indians, a report of the fact was
made to the medicine man, who called a
hurried council and allotted a numbei
of picked men to the different canoes.
Incantations were then held wheivin
a certain harpoon was blessed by tlie
dreamer or medicine man and handed
to the thrower, with the warning not to
’ "'t it go from liis hands except so ordered
b '■■lie dreamer himself, lest tlieir efforts
in t e chase should prove abortive.
T ;e ceremonies over, the dreamer
seated himself in the stern of the canoe,
and the thrower, armed with the pro
phetic harpoon, which must be the first
one hurled, took his position in the bow
of the boat.
They were then to run through the
serf by the members of the tribe, whe
were to accompany them, closely fol
lowed by two other canoes fully manned,
which, according to instructions, kept
astern of the first, but close at hand.
“The whale was successfully har
pooned. but at sundown it commenced
to blow a regular Nor Wester and the
sea became so heavy that the canoes
were obliged to disconnect and leave
their victim to tire himself out battling
with the air-floats secured to Mm.
That night the wind increased in ve
locity and the sea ran mountains high,
and on the foUowing day only two of
the canoes were discoverable. By this
time the whale was dead, and the surviv
ing canoes towed him to land. In the
evening the Indians ot the surrounding
country who had been reached by the
runners assembled, and a “cultus pot
latch” was held. Formerly the cultus
putiatch was a meeting of the Indians
to trade among themselves, but since '
the advent of the whites it has degene
rated into a drunken debauch.
On tMs occasion the ceremonies
opened with incantations over the eyes
of the whale, after wliich the skin of
the animal was passed around to be
eaten by the guests raw, being con
sidered by them a rare tidbit. Aftei
this the flowing bowl was brought forth,
and the howling and mourning after the
lost Indians was plainly heard a mile
distant above the booming of the surf.
Beautiful Swedish Womens
j
A gentleman, who has traveled con
siderably, in speaking of the beauty of
foreign women, says that he believes the
Swedish peasant women to be the most
beautiful in all the world. The young
matrons are like madonnas, and the
rirls are ideals of pure and exquisite
maidenhood. Their quaint peasants
dress and head add to their charm, and
he has brought home photographs of
these women that would each one make
an ideal head for a painter..
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The opening of the new dry doek at
the Norfolk navy yard insures docking
facilities for the largest of our men-ol-
war, or of those of foreign powers likely
to visit our ports. The need of such
docks has grown with the modem vessel
of greater length and wider beam, ana
congress appropriated a sum sufficient
to construct one at Norfolk, another at
League Island, and a third at the
Brooklyn navy yard. The policy of
placing shipbuilding plants m our other
navy yards wiUneces^ita ethe construc
tion of similar docks elsewhere. They
are built of timber, instead of _ granite,
and at a less first cost, and with a far
less outlav for expenses are found as
durable iis the older granite docks.
New gate appl ances, and more power
ful pumns for emptying them when once
filled, place the new docks on a_par wi h
the best possessed by any maritime na
tion.
A goveknment report publ shed re
cently, gave the mineral output of the
United States for tlie year at consider
ably more than $500,000,000, placing it
far" ahead of any other country in the
world. Following upon that Professor
Feraow, of the forest division of the De
partment of Agr culture, leports an
enormous consumption of limber
throughout the Un on diming the year,
and estimates the value of the forests
cut down at $700,000,000 ; thus it may
be seen that the United States drew up
on its natural resources in these two
lines alone in twelve months for $1,-
200,000,000.
A bemaekabxiE fact is the change
which the recent storm has wrought in
the New-Jersey coast line. For centu
ries its beaches have been gradually
succumbing to the force of the waves.
Sc r entifie observers place the average
loss at twelve feet a year along the
| whole coast. In She southern part of
the State the wear is especially marked.
Sandy Hook, on the contrary, has ex-
tended itsHf a m : le and a ha f within
the last hundred years, and is still gain
ing from aecumu ations ; but at Baine-
gat the loss has been 200 yards in forty
years. The recent great storm has
greatly helped this destruction.
The New York Medical Journal ex
plains the physical degeneracy of Amer
ican women by saying that household
utensils are all too big for women to
handle with comfort. But tMs is an ex
planation that doesn’t exp’ain. For the
greatest evidences of physical degener
acy are the women who never under any
circumstances handle these heavy
household utensils. "While, on the other
hand, the women who do handle them
are, as a rule, well developed pli ; sically.
Perhaps the physical degeneracy of so
many women is due to the fact that lliey
don’t handle household utensils enough.
The Senate committee investigating
the question of recla ming arid lands by
irrigation held a meet ng at Denver,
Co!. Testimony was taken to the efleet
that the entire eastern portion of the
State could be irrigated by the reser
voir system and hundreds of thousands
of acres of land now worthless converted
into the best agricultural Jand; that
the storage system was undoubtedly the
most practical, and if one-half the water
wMch went. to waste every year was
stored, there would be more than suffic
ient to reclaim every acre of land in the
St&te.

as a drummer in the Thirteenth Infan

charge of the music boys on Governor’s
Island, where all inlautry recruits were
sent in those days. He was appointed
Second Lieutenant in the Ninth Infan
try in 1869. He was retired for age in
1870. He lives with a married daughter

White Men’s Flesh Not Relished Be
cause It Is Too Salty—Habits of
the Savages.
Explorer Lumholtz has just returned
from Queensland, Australia, says the
Fall Mall Gazette. He devoted a year
to the cannibal tribes inhabiting a ter
ribly wild tract of country a couple of
hundred miles north of Townsville. Mr.
Lumholtz says:
“To begin with, don’t imagine that
because the tribes are canmbals they are
therefore loathsome or repulsive in ap
pearance. On the contrary, many of
the men are physically fine fellows, and
some of the women have pleasing feat
ures. Then, when you call them canni
bals you must remember that human
flesh is a very rare luxury, for they only
eat foreign tribes. Native tribes, I
mean, for the flesh of the wMte man is
nasty to their palate. He has a salty
flavor which is very disagreeable to
them.” “That was lucky for you.”
“Well, no; if I were once dead it mat
tered Ettle to me how my body was dis
posed of. But being without morals
and absolutely indifferent to human life
they would have killed me if they had
dared for the sake of the tobacco and
the few odds and ends I had with me.
When I joined them at first they were
friendly enough. They were a good bit
afraid of the white man, and for an inch
of tobacco apiece were willing to serve
me. Then they respected what they
called my baby gun—my revolver—
which I fired off every night. But in
time their fears wore off, and there were
several attempts to tomahawk me, but
I was lucky. I had a splendid hunter
with me, who twice tried. I should have
shot Mm dead, but I was a Ettle loath
to do so, as I was very keen about get
ting that specimen of the tiger marsup
ial, so I tolerated him. Might is right
among them. If I had shot a few of
them my dangers would have been con
siderably lessened.”
“To resume about the man-eating, I
never saw a cann bal feast, but every
night in their huts the talk was of
women and human flesh. Those were
the stock subjects of conversation.”
“Not very different from higMy cul
tured Europeans, Mr. Lumholtz ?
Women and cooking.” “I was able to
understand them, for I had learnt the
language, and I gathered that white
man was no good—too salty. China
man was not half bad. He fed on rice,
and had a tender vegetable flavor about
him, Eke a mealy cauEflower. But of
all varieties there was nothing so sweet
as a i ative baby—so sweet, so juicy, so
fat, so tender. Old men and women
were naturally tough and sinnewy.

and the flesh of the hand. The cannibal
blacks have no reEgion, no ceremonial,
no idols, and the only approach to a
charm was a bit of human fat wrapped

good luck to your hunting.
“If you want a wife, andbavejmoney,
wMch is tobacco, or a handkercMef, or
tomahawk—I should tell you that
these articles percolate through the
densest bush, and over the wildest
ranges—you can buy a wife.- You may
inherit a wife by agreement. You may
get your dead brother’s wife, but the
commonest method of acquiring a wife
is to go and help yourself. If you are a
big fellow you walk into the hut and
take the lady. Then there is a row, and
you have to"fight a duel with a wooden
broadsword, and the women come down
to the fight and liowl and screech and
back their men, and there is a terrible
to-do. It is the women who cause all
the rows, all the wars, all the feuds. It
is always some Helen and some Paris.
“And do the ladies Eke a change of
husbands ?” “They go, and don’t seem
to mind it in the least.” “How. do the
men regard the women, then ?” “As
useful drudges, to do all the work and
make them comfortable. Tbe black fel
low bates work. He only cares for
hunting. H6 hates to rise until the sun
is well up in the heavens and the dew
has disappeared. Then he and his
friends depart into the forest and hunt,
seldom bringing home the food but de
vouring it in the bush. It is one of the
remarkable things that the old men have
always the prettiest wives. There are
no Chiefs. One man is as good as an
other, but when a political crisis arises
the old men are consulted, aud that is
why the old men are the most influen
tial. As for the young fellow, he often
has to do without a wife until he is
thirty.
When there is nothing left of the win
ter snow but ridges behind the stone
walls, and a dingy drift here and there
in a hollow or in the woods, winter has
virtually resigned the icicle, wMch is Ms
sceptre.
It Don’t Pay
To experiment witff uncertain remedies, when
afflicted with any of the ailments for which
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is rec
ommended, as it is so positively certain in its
curative effects as to warrant its manufactur
ers in guaranteeing it to- benefit or cure, or
mpney paid for it is returned. It is warranted
to cure all blood, skin and scalp diseases, salt-
rheum, tet er, and all scrofulous sores and
swellings, as well as consumption (which is
sorofnla of tbe lungs) if taken in time and
given a fair trial.

A man who has practiced medicine for 43
years ought to know salt from sugar; read
what ho says;
Messrs. F. J.
have been in the general practice of medicine
for most 40 years, and would say that in all
my practice and experience, have never seen a
preparation that I coaid prescribe with as
much confidence of success as I can Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by you. Have pre
scribed it a great many times and its effect is
wonderful, and would say in conclusion that 1
have yet to find a case of Catarrh that is
would not cure, if they would take it accord*
ing to directions.

Hark ! the sound of many voices,
Jubilant in gladdest song,
And full many a heart rejoices
As the chorus floats along:
“Hail the Queen of all Tobaccos!”
How the happy voices blend,

Man’s staunch and true friend.”

Catarrh in the Head
Originates in scrofulo.ua taint in the blood. Hence
the proper method by which to cure catarrh Is to
purify the blood. Its many disagreeable symptoms
and the danger of developing into bronchitis or th «*
terribly fatal disease, consumption, are entirely re
moved by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which cures catarrh
by purifying- the blood; it also tones up the system
and greatly Improves the general health. Try the
“peculiar medicine.”
“I have used Hood’s Sarsaparilla for catarrh with
very satisfactory results. I received more perma
nent benefit from it than from any other remedy I
ever tried.”—M. E. Read, of A. Read & Son,
Wauseon, Ohio.
