FALL RIVER HOLDS RECORD.
Has Greatest Proportion of Foreign
Born In the Country.
In the city of New York there are
only 737.477 white persous born of ua-
live pareuts, or but ZA per cent ot
the population of the t Ity. This state
ment moans that out of every luo per
sons living within the municipal boun
daries of New York 78 are either for
elgners or the children of foreign born
parents, or colored people.
New York, however. Is not the first,
but the second city of the country ha
luj the largest foreign born popula
tion. Fall Uiver Is first In that re
spect. Official figures show that there are
in New York city more males under
21 years of Slavonic paientage thau
of any other people, and the number
of Slavonic men more than 21 years of
ago exceeds that of any other na
tionality except Germans and Irish.
Leslie's Weekly.
Time Changes.
This Is a baby, it Is a girl bay.
How very bad tempered! How red
her eves What horrid contortions
sho makes with her face. See how
Riivaeelv she kicks. How like a de
mon she yells!
Yet In a few short years some man
will be half cra.y with wild suspense,
worshipping tho very air this being
breathes, devoutly kneeling at her
feet, and frantically begging for one
word, one pressure of the hand, even
a '.ook, which will give him hope.
Cautious Elephants.
Capt. Owen Wheeler, a British of
fleer, writes of service in India: "I
once had to pass a number of ele
phants over a river across which
there had been constructed a strong
bridge of boats quite capable of bear
ing the biggest elephant. Very near
ly tho biggest In Asia happened to bo
then In my charge and this particular
monster tested tho bridge and went
over without any rms, ami so tuu
forty-five others out of forty-eight.
Ilut three would not tako on the
bridge at any price and had to be
swum over, ono of them getting so
angry at being asked to walk where
bigger elephants than he had gono
over quite huppliy that he rushed vio
lently Into the. water and tried to
owu his mahout."
fhe WroiiK C'onurctloii.
The telephone girl and the bill clerk,
to whom she had promised her heart
and hand, were sitting in front of the
replace talking about the happy days
to come when they would be one.
From one detail to another the talk
finally drifted to the subject of lighting
the fires In tho morning. On this point
the young man was decided. He sta
ted It was hla emphatic opinion that
was a wife's place to get up nnd
start the fires nnd let her poor, haid-
orking husband rest.
After this declaration that wag si
lence for the space of about three quar.
ters of a second. Then the telephone
girl thrust out the finger enalrcled by
er engagement ring and Murmured
weetly, but firmly:
Iting off, please. You have got con
nected with the wrong number."
Ono Form of Argument.
A Denver Justlco comes to the sup

A Simple DeluBlon.
An Irishman, newly arrived In the
United StateH, was ono day regaling
some friends with nn account of the
glories of a piny ho had witnessed the
night before. "How much did all that
lux'ry cost ycz?" asked an envious
member of the group. "Nlvver a clnt,"
was the reply. "01 Jlst walked In

HE MADE HIS CHOICE.
And as It Turned Out He Had Chosen
Wisely.
A young man, at the risk of his llfo,
oved beautiful young girl from
drowning. Her grateful father seized
tho rescuer of his daughter by tho
hand and, with a voice tremulous
with emotion, said: "Noble youth, lo
you I am Indebted for everything that
mnkes llfo dear to mo. Which re
ward will you tnke $100,000 or the
hand of my daughter?"
"Ill take tho daughter," replied tho
heroic rescuer, thinking thereby to
pet both the girl and the money.
"You have well chosen," replied
tho grateful father. "I could not havo
given you the llon.noo Just yet, iny
how. as I have not laid up that
amount, being only a poor editor, but
my daughter Is yours for life. Takt
her and bo happy. Heaven bless you,

Valuable Advice.
Give away what you tlou t really
need In your house. lXui't let such
things accumulate. They will soou
fill attic and cellar, and overflow into
other rooms, where they do no one
any good. You are not likely to
want them atalu, and lc Is a nuisance
to have them around. Long ugo we
should have boon obliged to get a

If 1 had followed my huwhand'a thrifty

At first he thought 1 .aj extrava
gant, but now he acknowledges that
if other families would likewise rid
themselves of "truck" they are not
likely to use again In a thousand
years, house cleaning would be rob

homely virtue that easily degeucrates
Into miserliness. Some of us heard

we are too stingy to give such things
away to worthy folks who need them.

Calabash Tree of Weit Indie.
In the West Indies there is a treo
n height and sl.e resembling an ap
ple tree, called a calabash tree. It has
wedge-shaped leaves, large, white,
fleshy blossoms, that grow not like
those on most trees, on the smaller
branches, but on the trunk and big
branches. The fruit that succeeds tho
blossom la much like a common guu.'d,
and a good deal stronger, and often
measures twelve Inches in diameter.
The hard shell of this fruit Is cut Into
different shapes by tho natives and
handsomely carved. It Is made into
drinking cups, dishes, buckets and
even pots. It is said these calabash
dishes can be used over the fire for
boiling water, just as we would use an
iron pot.
Some Polish Guperslitio;is.
Toland is the land of many quaint
superstitions about animals. The goat
Is very lucky, but the crow, wolf or
pigeon are harbingers of bad
fortune. Here is a curious pre
scription: "To cure cataract in
the eye, take a black cock, make him
look at the sun, look at him yourself,
then throv tho cock to the ground,
Jump on f. fence and crow threo
times.".
How the Fight Began.
An old woman Hvlng some distance
from Manchester, Ky., was sum
moned ns a witness to tell what she
knew about a fight at her house sev
eral nights before, In which three or
four people were killed. She mount
ed the stand with evident reluctance
and many misgivings, and, when
questioned by the court as to what
she knew about the mutter, said
"Well, jedge, the fust thing 1 knowed
about It was when Dill Sanders
called Tom Smith a liar en' Tom
knocked blra down with a stick of
wood. One of Bill's friends then hit
Tom with a knife, slicin' a big pioco
out of him. Sam Jones, who was a
friend of Tom'a, then shot tho other
fellow, en' two more Bhot him, en'
three or four others got cut right
smart by somebody. That caused
excitement, Jedge, and then they

First Aid to the Injured.
A novel apparatus to ossist In ren
dering first aid In case of accidents
has been tried In Paris. It Is like a
pillar letter box, and contains a fold

order to get at these objects It Is
necessary to break the glnss, as when
"calling" a fire engine. In this way
the key of the case and access to a
telephone Inside communicating with
the ambulance station aro obtained.
Educating Chinese Women.
Eight young Chinese women of the
highest circles in Klangsu have been

Jewels Owned by Rulers.
The Shah of Persia owns tlu biggest
diamond, the Sultan of Turkey the big
gest ruby, and tho Popo will shortly
possess the biggest topaz In the world.
Drawback to Temperance.
Measures to promote temperanco
In Swiss towns are Impeded by tho

Strange Retting Placet In Vogua In
Foreign Countries
Considering that a third of our
wholo Uvea Is spent lu bed. It Is not
surprising that much care, trouble,
and money should be spent on our
sleeping places.
In Kngland tne unhealthy feather
bed has beeti almost entirely succeed
ed by tho more Hygienic mattress,
which also la the rule In America.
French t eds are so short that the
average foreigner often complains
mat it demands a special education
to fold oneself up to the riyht sUo
for them. Many Norwegian beds aro
made to pull out from recesses. In
South and Central America tho hum
mock reigns, and tho Indians of
Guiana plait the most beautiful ham
mocks of grass, which they dyo
charming colors.
In Japan the bed consists of tho
matting covered floor with a curious
wooden neckrest; a form of bolster
that to a Europeuii would be a simple
Instrument of torture. Tno Chlneso

carved, with mattresses ai.d cover

Set Too Hot a Pace.
In the Hush of youth and health as
she Is, on athletic member of a
"Btreruous" household, Miss Alice
Itooscvt t is reported as having found
tho Newport "pace" too hot for her
physical powers. This Is not surpris
ing. Tho life lived by those of our
citlzeiiH whose irksome task Is to
keep themselves amused grows ever
more dillicult and is only to be en
dured by a sort of professional train

at a daylight function at tho end of

easily be singled out even by a stran

A recent visitor it, Maine tells of un
amusing experience lu tho "Prohibi
tum state." Anticipating the difilculty
of getting things to drink there hit
took with him, an ample supply of
"makings" for r,'r rickeys, all except
the limes, which he supposed he coulU
procure anywhere.
The day oftor arriving at his desti
nation, a small town near the Range
ley lakes, he went to the only storo
and asked the clerk if he kept nny
limes. The clerk thought a moment
and replied, tentatively:
"We got chloii-'n of lime and quick

Sagacious Birds.
Mexico has a clever bird called the
melanarpes, which has discovered a
new use for tho telegraph pole. At
tho foot of the post this bird makes
a large hole, in which It rears Its
family; somewhat higher up the post
It makes nn observatory, from which
bored holes permit It to observe tho
horizon In every direction; still high
er this sagacious bird makes its store
house, and thus the polo serves as its
home, fortress, and warehouse.
Matter Enough.
During a voyage, on tho sudden
stoppage of tho machinery, tho vessel
having run aground, considerable
alarm took place, especially among
the female passengers.
"What Is the matter? What Is tho

"After a short pause a horse voice
from tho deck replied:
"Nothing, mndnm, nothing; only tho
