IT MADE HIM SLEEPY. A Slute to Morphia Has a Narrow E cape from Death. An Ashley young man who until a year or two aso was a popular sales man employed In one of the large dry goods stores of the city, took an over dose of morphia about noon yesterday and the effort of several physicians were required to save his life. A few years ago he became addicted to the whiskey habit and for a time drank very heavily. About four months ago he stopped drinking and commenced using mor phia hypodermlcHlly. Recently he has bw n sclllnif a face iowder which he and another young man prepared hi a Northampton street drug store. It U supposed that while putting up the powder he surreptitiously swallowed a large dose of morphia, and soon after was found wandering aimlessly about the street. A friend noticed him on Public Souare and led him into Hart's drug stoiv, when Dr. Batterton was summoned and prescribed for him. The unfortunate young man's brother was tele'ihoned for and he with several friends kfpt him walking about the yard, until the effects of the drug had worn off.

The Proportions of Foreign Horn to Total Population lor Forty Years. Density of Settlement High Tides in Immigration.' According to the New York Sun, care ful and detailed records of Immigra tion have been kept since the year 1820, Those of previous years were relative ly unimportant, since not until the year ending Sept. 20, 1824, are 10,000 arrivals In a year recorded. The most famous decade In immigration was the one from 1881 to 1890, inclusive, for which the figures were. In the aggregate, 5, i 246,613, whereas the previous decado had shown only 2,812,191, and the decade from Jan. 1, 1661, to June SO, lSiO. only 2,314,824. Another famous decade of high tide In Immigration was the one from 1851 to I860, when the total of alien passengers and Immigrants was 2,598, 214, whereas the previous decade had geen but 1,713.251. the decade from 1S21 to 1840 only 59,12r., and the one from I is2l to lSIIO only H3.4M1. So far ns can be judged from its first half, the current j decade will not quite come up to lis ; prodecersor. the reckoning1 up to 1S95 allowing a total of 2,280.674. Still, there j may be another flood tide before 19W. Up to the end of the Inst fiscal year the statistics showed an aggregate, since 1820, of 17,708.3:11 persons. It Is to be remembered that these included alien passengers In the earlier years not Immigrants; but, on the other hand. Immigrants from British North Amer ica and Mexico have rot been Included since July 1, 1885. Perhaps In round numbers we may expect the tiguies up to the fiscal year 1890 to show nearly 20,000,000. But it Is noteworthy thut while the Immigration of the last fif teen years has been prodigious, the percentage of foreign born to total pop ulation liss not greatly Increased dur ing the last thirty-five yenrs. That Is to say, while the actual number of foreign born was 9.219,547 In the census year 1890, or more than double ns much as In I860, when it was 4,l;;s.C37, yet the percentage to the total population was only 14.77 In the former case, against 13.16 In the latter. During the two In termediate census years the percent ages were 14.44 and 13.32. DENSITY OF POPULATION. Kxcluding Alaska and Indian terri tory, the country h.is an average of 21.31 Inhabitants per square mile. This Is u little greater density than that of Norway, but quite as great ns that of Sweden. If is one-fourth thnt of Spain or Greece, a little mere than one-seventh that of Denmark, Portugal, or Scotland, about one-seventh that of Ireland, and perhaps about one-twenty-third part of Kngluud. We still have room, therefore, for the right kind of Immigrants. During the last liscal year 279,918 im migrants arrived In this country, ex clusive of those from British North America and Mexico. Some published figures sny that there was an actual In crease of 16,073 immigrants from Ire land, 6.217 from Knglnnd and We.les, 16 frum Scotland and 122 from Finland, whereas all other countries in Kurope showed a decrease, that of Germany amounting to 21.816. and that of Italy to 7.550. But during the current year there has been n great increase in Immi gration from Italy. As an offset the debarring of these immigrants has been carried on to an unprecedented extent. the result being a decided check upon Immigration from this source of late. Mention has been made of the fact that, prior to 1S20, no exat statistics of Immigration were kept. It has been es timated, however, that between 1873 and 1820 about 250,000 Immigrants may have settled In the country. The figures also, since 1S20. are not as accurate ns could be desired, from the causes al ready mentioned, and also from the lack of taking account of Immigrants who have landed a second time after a visit to their native homes. Still, it is obvious what an influence has been had upon our present population by this In flux from foreign lauds. FURTHER ANALYSIS. ' Of th'e 62,622,250 who formed our pop ulation at the 1S90 census, 53. 72,703 were nnttves and 9,24,M7 foreign born. But of the native born 8,085,019 had both parents and 3,418,656 had one parent for eign. ThlB rives a total or 20,753.222 either foreign born or of foreign par entage on one or both side Taking as probable a tutul o 1S.022 7S5 nllens nr rlvlrgupto Ja vary 1 If 00. Mr. Nelson gives these results In, classifying by countries and by reccs. Germany sup plies 4.978.036 of the number, or more than one-fourth. Next comes Ireland, with 4.035,118, thEngla: M, with 2.270, 330.and fourth Scandinavia, with 1.319, S5. ' The Immigration of British North America Is put at 1,040,925.- and then comes Italy, with 628.611, followeJ by European Russia, outside of Finland end Po'and, 470.021 But there Is a race classification In the official figures In which Germany, the German parts of Austria, Engla Scandinavia. British North America, and the Netherlands are lumped ra cially s Germnnlc. This is not exact for arioiis reasons, but taking It as It stands, the Gt -rrrar.lc linnrgintl"n thus turns out to be l'i.2r.),204, or much more thnn half of the whole The Germanic Celtic whLh includes Irelan I. Scotland, and Wales, comes nexf. with 4.44J.6S1. Third on the race list Is the Latin, comprising Italy. France, ppnin. and Portugal, with 1.43ti.4t4. Then comes a ratht-rheterogenocs group called "Po es, Slavs. Hungarians, and Kindred races." Including also Turkey. 'Kuumania, Bul garia, Servla and Muntenegro. making In all 4!i;l..tii. Yet again we have the Tartar-Klav-Germanlc race, namely Russia In Europe, exclusive .of Finland and Poland, 470.63!. Then we have ths Li'.tin-Gcrn.ar.ic, consisting of tw.tztr land and Belgium. 2!7,KSX Finland oc vuplcs a group of Its own, called Finnish-Germanic, with K4.2:2. This l?aves unclassified l7S.o..5 persons. Including Latin-lndinn, negro, and Asiatic Immi grants. Th" wonder Is that, with th( se masses of varied elements continuing to pour into our population, even the existing degree of homogeneity has been se cured. CURED AS IF BY MAGIC.
