Rug and Curtain Holder.
When beating carpets or rugs on
the line the housewife is presented
with a problem. Each time she
strikes the rug with the beater the
rug has a tendency to slip over grad
ually to one side. The heavier the
rug the greater the liability to get
out of balance. Frequently the rug
falls off the line entirely and has to
be rebeaten. To overcome this nuis
ance and to prevent the rug slip
ping out of position after being once
\,\“\\ % )

adjusceu, 4 Massachusetts ian has
devised the holder shown here. It
is made of strong spring wire, the
upper portion being curved to fit
over the rug. In connection with
the four lower corners—which, on
account of the tension of the spring
wire, are inclined to come togeth
er—are prongs which force them
selves into the rug. The holder is
stronger and more effectual than
holding the carpet with one hand and
beating with the other. The opera
tor has ample opportunity to stand
at a distance from the rug and swing
the beater with as great force as de
sired.—Washington Star.
Aluminum Paper.
The manufactory of paper coated
with aluminum as a substitute for
tinfoil has begun to assume indus
trial importance. Within a year the
Wickel process has been successfully
applied in France to the metalizing
with aluminum of paper of all thick
nesses, from that of cigarette paper
up to that of the sheets from which
postal cards are made. Aluminum
paper has the advantage over tinfoil
in that it contains no lead. It is
suitable for enveloping all kinds of
confectionery, for making paper
boxes, and even for wall hangings.
When used as wallpaper it possesses
the admirable quality of being clean
able with a wet cloth or sponge.—

Deaf Telegraph Operator.
Peter A. Foley, the “lightning
taker” of Portland, is the most won
derful telegraph operator in the
world. Foley is totally deaf, an
affliction which ordinarily would be
supposed to make telegraphy an utter
impossibility to him, but since he be
came deaf eight years ago, FFoley hag
developed what may be called a sixth
sense and by touch and sight he can
detect the finest movement of the
instrument and correctly interpret
them. His nervous system is a part
and parcel of telegraphy and by
means of the sense of touch in his
finger tips he takes messages trans
niitted from the ends of the conti
nent. He can read a message by
watching the sounder. With his left
forefinger placed lightly on the
sounder, he can by his wonderful
sense cf touch take a message as ac
curately as any man in the office.—

Stages of Reform.
. All reforms pass through threq
stages: [First, people cry, “It's ridic.
ulous;” next they say, "It is contrary
to religion;” and finally, “Oh, is that
what you mean? Why, I believed
in that all the time.”-—Mayor Tom
Johnson, of Cleveland.

THE MIGRATIONS (7 .
From the American Review of Reviews.
“The modern migrations of peo
pies surpass, in intensity and extent,
the great popular migrations of olden
times. They tear whole generatiohs
out of their native soil, ard trans
plant whole nations in foreign torri
tory; they annihilate here the cultu
ral characteristics of a people, and
there they eause new nations and cul
tures to spring forth.” In these
words Herr Ellenbogen, one of the
Austrian delegates to the recent In
ternational Socialist congress at
Stuttzart, concluded an eloquent ad
dress before that gathering. 1
If any one should regayd this as an
exaggeration, his attention may be
called to the following facts, set forth ‘
in a strong article by Friedrich Nau-‘
mann, in Suddeutsche Monatshefte:
I'or centuries the negroes have‘
been transported to America, and
have there become an element of the
population which gave rise to the
North American Civil War, and the
incorporation of which into the
American national body has, by no
means, even yet, been accomplished.
Frem America, and also to a certain
extent directly from Africa, the ne
gro is distributed, in individuals, all
over the great ports and cities of im
portance, especially those in warmer
climes.
From China and Japan flows a
stream of labor toward all tropical
and sub-tropical colonies, unless
these put up the law as a bar against
it, as Australia has done. The ad
vent of the Chinese and Japanese
have already, in the TFar West of
North America, become a vital aques
tion to the European elements of the
population, and they are also becom
ing more and more numerous in the
Eastern cities of the United States.
In the gold and diamond fields of
South Africa they have a Chinese
question, and London and Hamburg
have already quite a number of Chi
nese among thelr seafaring people.
“Our (German) coal industry mag
nates and agricultural landowners of
prominence are contemplating wheth
er they should import Chinese.”
From Southern and Western Rus
sia, from Poland, Galicia and Rou
mania, great hosts emigrate, either
to America or to Germany and Eng
land. ‘“‘Our baronial estates are al
ready unable to get along without
these migratory laborers, and in the
German mining regions there have
arisen colonies with foreign popula
tion.” <
Italy sends to Germany and Aus
tria numerous masons, diggers and
foundry workers. “Just think of the
Lothringian iron industry.” . In all
large German cities colonies of Ital
ians are found. At the same time,
the Italian populates Northern Africa
and South America, and he is gener
ously represented in North America.
The Irish leave their home country,
and become Americans in large num
bers. The same applies, in a certain
degree, to the Scotch and Norwegians,
The Germans have contributed
largely to the colonization of North
America, but have also, in earlier
times, sent considerable numbers of
laborers to France. “Nowadays the
great emigration has ceased and hag
been replaced by immigration, but
German stragglersare yet to be found
in every country.”
Through all these migrations the
racial character of entire nations is
changed. This fact is most apparent
in the United Siates of North Amer
ica. There the English-German race,
together with a certain French ele
ment in formerly French territory,
forms the core of the population,
Language and customs are English-
American. But with every year the
foreign element increases and ex
pands the more, as the number of
children of English stock is decreas
ing, while the immigrants of other
races, in most instances, come abund
antly endowed with prolific propen
sities. Americun writers have, and
not without reason, pointed to the
transformation process which the Ro
man Empire, and particulariy the city
of Rome, underwent in the first cen
turies after the birth of Christ, when
all old Roman institutions, while yet
remaining as such, were filled with
non-Romans, until a time arrived
when the empire was governed by 11-
lyrians, Spaniards and Africans, and
was no longer a Roman empire.
Among the other theories as to the
causes ol the downfall of the Roman
Empire, the contention that the bar
barians destroyed Rome through
their influx and settlement is certain
ly, in a meagure, justifiable, and may
serve as a warning to us moderns.
The historical warning cannot,
however, continues Dy, Naumann,
help us out of the present situation
in the United States. What will free
America, which has founded its pres
ent culture on migration only, do in
this case? Should she, and could
she, close herself up against immi
gration? Execlrsion measures have
been tried aga’ ast the Slavie, as well
as against thg Eastern Asiatic, immi
gration.
Can a tnodern State close its
doors? Can it withdraw labor from
its agriculture and industries becausa
this labor iz of foreizn orizin? . Or
should it not have such a strong faith
in the power of assimilation that it
does not questicn its own ability to
amalgamate all strange clements into
a future unity?
With Germans, says this writer,
further, the immigration question has
not yet become as urgent as it is in
North America, but among all no
tions we rank next after'the Ameri
cans in regard to immigration inter
ests and immigration troubles.
Our Polish question is only a part
thereof, although the one which has
‘been most frequiently dealt with, and
which has excited the keenest inter
est. As far as one may rely on the
rather uncertain sta¥istics on the use
of the mother tongue, it appears that
fully nine-tenths of the population in
the German Empire is German. The
non-German inhabitants, however,
trace their origin, to a great extent,
from German national territory
(Poles, Danes, Alsatians, Mazures,
Wends, Lithuanians). The number
of immigrants, in the proper sense of
the word, is, then, not overwhelm
ingly great, yet it cannot be denied
that the RhenishsWestphalian indus
trial district, Berlin, Upper Silesia,
and partly also Saxony have already
a pretty mixed population, and that
all the great landed estates east of
the Elbe are dependent on foreigners.
Thus the question presents itself also
to us,'whether we should let matters
take their own course and shape
themselves as they may. The Prus
sian Government plays a double hand.
It supports the ultra-agrarian policy,
of which it knows that the effect will
be a gradual Slavie influx, and at the
same time it busies itself with mak
ing restrictions as to residence against
the migrating laborers. There is an
absolute lack of system in dealing
with the situation in hand.
Just as there are, in a financial
way, creditor States and debtor
States, so there are, we are reminded
by Dr. Naumann, in a migratory re
spect, immigration States and emi
gration States.
As we Germans have earlier been
an emigration State, and lately have
become an immigration State, we can,
in a measure, understand the inter
€is connected with both phases.
While an emigration State, we have
complained of all restrictions placed
against Cermans, ‘‘out of spite,” by
any foreign couniry. We protested
against the decision of the Municipal
Council of Paris to employ only
French street sweepers, as this action
was prejudicial to the interesis of the
German street sweepers of La Vil
lette. This is only a sample of many.
We have always considered it as
some sori of right of man that Ger
‘mans should be permitted to put
ithemselves in evidence everywhere.
But we have not always found it quite
‘so easy to concede this same right of
man to all those who have desired to
gsettle down with us. This was most
glaringly brought forth in the anti-
Semitic representations against Jew
‘ish immigration, hut has also mani
fested itself publicly on many other
~occasions, when it was stipulated, at
’the building of the magnificent ca
‘nals. that no foreigners should, if
possible, he employed. Hardly any
iclass of the population is altogether
free from sentimental dislike of im
migration whatsoever.
It would seem highly desirable to
permit the migration to continue as
it may, but to limit the trade in men,
To this end the following means are
provided:
t 1. Prohibition of the importation
rc&',,contr.act‘ laborers. This is the
brincipal thing, and would, if carried
into actual practice, act almost as a
heavy tariff.
- 2. Raiging the standard of labor
‘protection for all classes of laborers,
} even the lowest, to such a height that
it would not pay to employ unskilled
labor. This idea has been most thor
oughly carried out in Australia, but
appears there in connection with a
prohibition of immigration. y
3. Concession of all political
rights to immigrants. This is a rath
er double-edged means. It promotes,
on the one hand, the political and
professional organizability of the im
migrants, but gives them, .on the
other hand, a controlling influcnce so
much the sooner.
Thus, concludes the German wri
ter, we see that the leading idea is
this: We should admit only such peo
ple as we may expect to be able to
raise to the level of our own cultural
requirements.
To this latter end the trades unions
should direct their educational at
tention. To this corresponds, on the
other hand, that which is demanded
of the emigration countries. HEspe
cially is a close contrdl of the emi
gration agencies required, and also
stipulations in regard to minimum
space on emigrant ship,:s.
Freaks of Figures.
Mr. John Udy Lezn, professor in
the Detroit Business University,
father of the comedian, Cecil Lean,
and one of the best known school
men in the Middle West, recently
published a book containing a collec
tion of curious arithmetical pheno
mena entitled, “‘Freaks of Pigures.”
The work was pgotten out more for
entertainment than for scheol or
countinghouse use and was go ad
vertised, but the author was entirely
unprepared for the impression the
rather catchy title made in certain
circles, as was revealed by a leiter
which he received soon after its pub
lication, The letter announced an ap
preaching caranival and continued,
A 8 a few freaks would draw a big
crowd we sugzest that you send us

real giant.,” It is necedless to fay
that the professcr was both astone.

waist and it can be made from almost
any seasonable material. Crepe de
Chine, louisine and taffeta are favors
ite gilks for the separate blouse, but
for entire dresses the plaid taffetas,
veilings, cashmercs and light colored
broadcloths all are being used, whilg
the model is adapted to each and all.
The tucks are arranged after a most

chemisette always gives an air of cx
quisite daintiness. It could be of
lace, of tucked silk or of lingerie ma

can he either long or in three-quar

to fulfill a great many requirements.
The collar can he made with the new

may be found more becoming.
The blouse is made with the
smoothly fitted lining and itself con
wigts of front and backs, The chemi
sette is faced onto the lining and its
edges are concealed by the sghaped
trimming band. The long sleeves
are gathered into deep cuffs, the
three-quarter ones into bands.

Fancy Collar, dabot and Bows,
All sorts of pretty aad dainty necke
wear is being worn just now and
there is alwayas a demand for fresh
designs. Here is an altogether at
tractive stock and very gharming ja
‘bot and two bows, any or all of which
can be utilized both for personal use
and for gifts. In the illustration the
jabot with bowismadeof filet net with
trimming of Valenciennes lace while
one separate bow is made of linen
lawn daintily embroidered by hand
and the other is made of sheer, fine
French cotton lawn with trimming
of lace insertion and medallions. The
stock collar is cut after the newer
style, which Is higher at the back
than at the front, and as illustrated’
is made of the coarse mesh filet net
overlaid with soutache in a simple
design and with folds of blue silk at
top and bottom. All the pretty
trifles, however, can be varied almost
indefinitely. For the jabot net, fine
lawn, chiffon and all-over lace all are
appropriate while the bows can be
made of almost any pretty, dainty
‘material, and the stock allows ample
opportunity for the exercise of in
dividual taste and ingenuity. The
middle portion could be made of a
heavy applique or of embroidered
bands of braid or of a dozen other
things that would easily suggest
themselves.,
The jabot consists of just one piece
laid in pleats on indicated lines. ‘fhe
bows are made in one piece each with
little cross over portions and the
stock consists of the foundation over
