There was in the year 1804 a docrOaso In the total immigration of about one hundred and fifty thousand, as com pared with the preceding year. Hard times and lack of work were tho causes. So far as mcro numbers go, Hie decrease was a remarkable one— being, in fact, not much less than a third of tho whole. But whilo the number is smaller, tho quality remains almost unchanged. The percentage of those able to read their own language —a very fair test of general intelligence —remains exactly the same. The pro portion of those having no occupation has decreased only a trifle. In other respects there is either no improve ment or a very slight one. It is, surely, evident enough that some care in ad mitting aliens is needed. Bills were brought before the last congress by the Immigration Restriction league to put a head tax of a few dollars on im migrants, and to exclude absolutely all between the ages of fourteen and sixty who could not read some lan guage. Such a law would have ex cluded nearly n fifth of those who came in lust year. Other advocates of re striction call attention to abuses in the carrying out of tho present laws and declare no new restrictions are needed, but only strict enforcement of those now existing. Whatever the exact methods may be, it is clear that in some way tho nation has a right to assure itself of the possession of a reasonable degree of Intelligence, honesty and capability among those who wish to claim its per manent protection. SURELY the counterfeiter is abroad in the land, and the latest thing to which ho has turned his evil industry is tho one-cent piece. While the profit on the little red cent must bo ridiculously small, it seems to be a "safe game," according to the statement made re cently by a government employe, "This Is one of them," ho said, showing a well-worn one-cent piece, which looked good enough to pass for one cent any where. ."Now, you sec that's a bud one, and the minute it reaches the treasury it will be cut in two and the pieces re turned to tho ono who sent it there. But unless it goes to the treasury, tho chances are it will go right on and be used for newspaper money, carfare, church contributions, and other things that pennies go for, until it is lost, like all the rest, for who will stop to exam ine a cent?" FARM names throughout the United States present a curious and interesting study. It is noteworthy that in regions where farms arc owned by their occupants tho homestead idea is often expressed in the name. Biblical names are not unusual In various parts of the country. English tradition was followed to a con siderable extent in naming southern plantations. Tenant farms are often named for some striking physical fea ture. A Delaware farm with a notablo hill is called Sugar Loaf. Another not many miles away is named Geraldvillo. Simpleton and Genezer arc among tho curious farm names of Maryland. Farms sometimes go for years by tho name of an early owner from whoso family the land has long since slipped. NORTHWESTERN Americans, who aro enormously proud of their mild clim ate, take pleasuro in calling attention to the fact that their towns arc on tho same parallel of latitude with several Mediterranean cities famous for their delightful climate, and pleasant cities of France. Portland, Ore., for example, is in tho same latitude as Venice, and San Francisco as Athens. Tncoma is not far north of Geneva, Port Towns end considerably south of Paris, arid Seattle about the same latitude as Nantes. HERRING have been selling in the villages along*tho Chesapeake at Ave cents a dozen, and so unprofitable havo the fish become that a fisherman who recently made u haul of ten thousand turned them back into the water. Hun dreds of thousands of herring pass un iftially through the Chesapeake and Delaware canal, connecting the two bays. When Baby was sick, wo gavo her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria. When she had Children, she gave them Castoria Knee pants, 19c, at Uefowich's. MIMIC LETTER. Adjournment ou Jane G Now Oat of the Question. J THE WORK OF THE QUERENT WEEK. | Ppedal Orders Granted on a Large Nnin | ber of Hills of No General Interest Which I Will Consume the Time of tho House. May Reconsider Apportionment Bills. (Special Correspondence.) IIARRIPIUJHO, May 27. —The legislators will hardly getaway before Juno 13. This is now conceded by those who have all along contended for a short session. Tho time of final adjournment will bo ilxed at this evening's session of tho houso. Mr. Stewart, of Philadelphia, has served no tice that ho will call up at that tlmo tho senate resolution to adjourn June 0. Many of the members aro anxious to get away and will vote to concur in the senate's ac tion. Those who havo not yet gotton through all their pet schemes uro opposed to the 11 mo fixed by tho senators, and it is believed they can control enough votes to prolong the session until Juno 13. If tho senate resolution prevails no bills can bo messaged to either body after Fri day. Chairman Marshall, of the appro priations committee, whoso opinion at this tlmo is entitled to more consideration than that of any other member of the house, says it is absolutely impossible to adjourn at tho time fixed by tho senate unless the appropriation bills are side tracked. The general appropriation bill will require three days' consideration in the senate and house. It will bo reported Thursday, and rushed through so that it may reach tho senate by tho following Monday. The program is to hold the general ap propriation bill until all other appropria tion measures are out of the way. The committee may be forced to change its plans, and bring tho bill out earlier than expected. Thcro will be u fierce fight by tho rural members of the house to amend the bill so as to give the schools $11,000,- 000 for the next two years, instead of *lO,- 000,000, as proposed by tho committee. The fight over this proposition will delay tho consideration of other important busi ness. Increasing the House Sessions. The house will hold two sessions today, from 3:30 to 0 in tho afternoon and from 8 to 10 In tho evening. Tho order of busi ness will be first reading bills, resolutions, rovonue bills on second reading, local and special bills on third reading and final passage, and appropriation bills on third reading. Under tho order of original reso lutions, Mr. Smith, of Jefferson, will offer a concurrent resolution that tho leg islature do not adjourn until a new ap portionment is made of tho state. Tho friends of the measures have until to morrow in which to move a reconsidera tion of tho votes by which the bills wero knocked out, but whether anything in that lino will be attempted or not will depend largely upon the result of General Nllcs' visit to Senator Quay at Beaver. If he can induce Senator Quay to interpose, the bills will bo reconsidered, but If Colonel Quay persitsin holding off and lotting the mem bers light it out among themselves, it is extremely doubtful whether any attempt at reconsideration will be made. Mr. Smith will call tho yeas and nays on the resolution, to show how each mem ber stands on this question. It is prob able that an effort will also bo made at ono of these sessions by Chairman Cul bortson, of the legislative apportionment committee, to securo a roconsidoratlon of the three apportionment bills defeated last Tuesday These bills will take up at least several hours, and should tho Intermedi ate court bill bo called up it would bo good for several hours more. Tho time of the house tomorrow and Wednesday will bo taken up in consider ing the Fritz and Smith bills for the dis tribution of the school funds and tho other ten bills for which special orders have been made for these days. Tho Smith bill dis tributes the appropriation by giving 150 to each school and tho balnncoon tho basis of tho number of taxubles. Mr Fritz's plan Is to divide tho fund on the basis of the number of school children In tho ro speetivo districts between tho ages of 6 and 20 years. There has been much time wasted in discussing thoso two proposi tions, and the chances are that neither will pass this legislature. Will Adjourn on Memorial Hay. Thursday will bo Memorial Day, and tho old soldiers in tho senate and houso will want to go homo to help decorate tho graves of their departed comrades. Tho houso will probably dispense with tho aftornoon and evening sessions on that (lay. Tho ordor of business will bo appro priation bills on third reading. It re quires 13(3 votes to pass these measures finally, and it Is hardly likely that thero will be that many members In attendance. The appoallate court bill and tho meas ure creating the county of Quay out of portions of Luzerne and Schuylkill coun ties will bo called up In the house on Wed nesday for final consideration. Tho oppo sition to both is so intense that much time will probably be wasted in trying to pro vent their passage. There are indications that the Quay county bill may get through by a narrow majority, not, however, with out a still fight by the Schuylkill and Lu zerno delegations. The religious garb bill will bo taken up on a special order in the senate tomorrow for final passage. Thesenato has its calen dar pretty well cleared, and from now until the close of tho session will net upon houso bills. Governor Hastings has a batch of bills, unacted upon, which will bo considered tomorrow at the cabinet meeting. The governor is taking his time in disposing of the bills which reach him. Many are HO full of typographical and other errors that it is necessary that they le very carefully perused bufore being acted upon. Speaker Walton and somo of tho more prominent Republicans on the floor aro making cvory exertion to got the calendar in shape for final adjournment, hilt tho "mob" Is continually spoiling thelrplans, and this week will bo a conspicuous ex ample of It. With almost every minute required for necessary work, the houso has practically already used up half of tho week with a lot of spoclal ordors on hills of no use to the poople at largo. A num ber of bills which have been tho subjects of warm dobate all through the session will also come up to wasto more tlmo. If Representative Kunkcl calls up the In termed iato court bill ho will also pre cipitate a fight which is likoly to take up the greater portion of at. least, ono session, while a big fight, may also bo made on tho Macrell liquor bill to froozo out tho largo grocers for the benefit of the saloon keep ers. This will leave very little tlmo for tho consideration of the appropriation bills and other regular orders. A Lively Scrap In tho Senate. There was a lively little scrap in the sen ate last Thursday between Senators Flinn and Kennedy over what the latter ehurge* was a breach of faith. Senator Kennedy bad fought the greater Pittsburg scheme until ho compelled Messrs. Magco and Flinn to grant him a separate vote for Al legheny City. The bill under considera tion last Thursday was to change the ratio of population of tho cities of the various classes, intended to prevent the greater Pittsburg from becoming a city of tho lirst class by raising the population for that grade to 1,000,000. When tho bill was on second reading Senator Vaughan had the population for second class cities raised from 100,000 to 200,000, so as to prevent Scrantou from becoming a second class city. It was this amendment, however, which caused the trouble, for it would re duce Allegheny City to a city of the third class, and under the greater Pittsburg bill only cities of the second class can vote sep arately. Senator Kennedy charged that this was a scheme to deprive Allegheny City of its right to a separate vote, and after a lively passage-at-arms between him and Flinn tho matter was postponed until next Wed nesday at noon, in order to allow time for fixing the matter. It is now merely a question whether Allegheny shall bo re duced to a third class city or Soranton compelled to bo advanced to the second rank. If Flinn and Vaughan insist on the amendment being retained Senator Ken nedy may succeed in defeating the entire bill. "Working" Chris Magee. Chris L. Magco, who was ono of tho originators of the plan, had a practical illustration the other day of the good de rived by Pittsburg from the generous ad vertising which she has secured through the annexation movement. While coming down in the elevator at the Commonwealth hotel the young man who was running it asked him to get him a ticket to Pitts burg. "What do you want to do in Pittsburg?" asked Mr. Mugee with interest. "Well," explained tho young man earn estly, "running an elevator does not pay much money, and I have read so much about this 'greater Pittsburg' in tho news papers that T think I could make money there If I could only get there." Tho spirit of the young man caught the Pittsburg magnate, and ho wont down into his pocket, bought a ticket for Pitts burg, and the ex elevator man is now out in I he metropolis of western Pennsylvania. Tho Porter school bill to abolish the sec tional school boards in Philadelphia is still languishing in the sub-committee of the liouso committee on municipal corpor ations. Tho committee is generally known among the members as tho "municipal corpse," and the Porter bill is practically a corpse by this time. Tho twelve Phila delphians on tho committee, with one or two exceptions, are against the bill, and if it ever sees daylight it will bo cither with a negative recommendation or so al tered that its sponsors in the Civic club would novor recognize it. Lack of Republican Leadership. Tho great lack of Republican leadership in the present house was tho topic under discussion tho other evening among a number of old legislators, and they com pared it with the house of 1881), which ex State Chairman Andrews had under such perfect control that ho could pass or de feat a bill by tho mere waving of a hand kerchief. An interesting story was told as to how he compelled the senate to pass his bill for tho government of cities of the third class. Tho bill had passed first read ing in the senate, and was then recom mitted with no apparent intention of ever reporting it. Andrews calmly waited until near the end of tho session, and as thcro was still no sign of the bill being taken up ho be gan operations while senate bills woro be ing considered on third reading. The bills were defeated one after the other un til word was carried over to tho senate that Andrews was killing all their bills. Senator Dulainutor was ono of tho first to call on Andrews and demand what was the matter. "Nothing," was the apparently uncon cerned answer, "but Bean, hero," point ing to a lawyer member sitting next to him, "says it's a bad bill." Several more bills were defeated and other senators came, but the answer was tho same, "Bean says they're bad bills." "What will mako you stop?" asked Del amuter finally. "Take up my third class city bill and pass It," wus the answer. "Wo won't do It." "All right," and tho slaughter went on Tint after several more bills had boon de feated the senators agreed to come to : terms. The bill was quickly passed about ! from senator to senator, reported and passed on second reading That stopped j tho slaughter of senate bills. Tho next day Andrews' 1)111 passed finally, and the j defoated sennto bills wore all reconsidered and passed. W. M. R. i llnttle with Hungry Rats.

THE FIRST LONG DRESS. float Important Event in tho History ol a Dirt's Life. It is a momentous day in the history of a girl's life when she puts on her first long dress. It is a much more im portant event than the putting on of iiis first pair of long trousers by a hoy, for the boy is a boy still for some years afterwards, but from the time the girl dons her first real long dress she is regarded as a woman. She may have worn dresses that reached almost down to her shoe tops, but they were as youthful in appear ance as the long dresses which she wore in babyhood. But when an even all-round skirt is changed to the dra pery of tho dress worn by grown women, then we have no longer a young girl, but a young lady, pure and simple. Many girls, anxious to bo thought young women, are :i too great hurry to put on these sweeping gowns, and don them too soon. In after years they will regret their hurry, for it is strange, but true, that a girl's age is reckoned by her friends from the time she puts on her first real long dress. This stylo necessarily makes a change in her demeanor. No matter how coltish and young she may feel, the long breadths of cloth put a stop to the friskiness of the days of short skirts. It is only natural, therefore, that a new deportment should follow tho advent of tho length enod skirt. When the long dress comes the hair undergoes a change, but a different change from that which takes place in the skirt. It is taken up high on the head, and the result is that a stranger would be at a loss to tell whether the little girl of the day before was now seventeen or twenty years of ago. Girls, don't be in a hurry to put on long dresses. Think of the years dur ing which you will have to wear them. Some time in the future j'ou will look back with regret to the free and happy days of your girlhood, and will wonder how you could have been in a hurry to ! leave them for tho cares of woman- I hood. Don't be in a hurry to abandon your dolls and go into society. Cherish tho days of your youth. If you arc, as Longfellow puts it: " Standing, with reluctant feet, Where tho brook anil river meet, Womanhood and childhood fleet," don't be anxious to plunge into the river, whose mighty torrent sweeps all before it, but linger by the side of the babbling brook, whose music brings joy to all.—Mabel Rich, In Golden Days GRANDPA'S HEAD REST. Simple unci Plain Enough to 150 Enjoyed by the Old Gentleman. The dainty head rests that have been so popular recently are often confined to the chairs that are least in use. Their daintiness and the difficulty in washing them make them distinctly ornamental instead of useful, and tho "grandfather" would he likely especial togxaabßi 1 f\ f I k sv'vi i/f ii ii GRANDPA'S HEAD REST. ly to shun them as altogether too "fixed up" for his after-dinner nap in tho rock ing chair. But grandfather's whito head must he pillowed. One of his granddaughters might make him a simple but very pretty head rest like the nno in the accompanying sketch. A downy pillow is first made and cov ered, just big enough to fit the special clutir it is to hang upon. Then a pil low ease of dainty gingham is made in fine stripes or plaids and in the dainti est, softest colors obtainable, for it will wash like a pocket handkerchief and so need not bo any of those de pressing colors that "won't show dirt." Let it be as pretty a gingham as tho counters offer. The case is trimmed across the bot tom with a full ruffio that curves round the lower corners and gradually merges into tho sides. Four flat—very flat — buttons fasten the pillow into tho cas ing and also add somewhat to its ap pearance. Tho3' will not come into contact with the head as they arc down under the curve of the pillow, and so will not be likely to cause discomfort. Two strong loops of cord fasten the rest to the chair, and these may be of cotton cord whose colors go well with the gingham ease. Then, when ttio whole needs washing one has only to slip out tho pillow and send its cover ing just as it is to tho laundry. When it comes back as good ns new, the pil low is buttoned back into it and grand father's chair is ready again to coax him into another nap.—Country Gentle .man.

Each Ono Showed Himself to Be a Voritablo Marvol. I On. Was .. I.lfi! Savor autl the Other Two Were la 100,1 a Hunters lalthful I>louh I'orsiict a 1... for Many Weary Hours. The subject for discussion in the of fice of the Tontine at Rrunswlck, Me., was (logs. This story, says the New York Sun, was told by a drummer from Mechanics' Falls: "Not far from Mechanics' Falls is a little fanning hamlet called Pigeon Hill," he said. "It is not on the map now, hut it will be if future residents show half the get-there and intelligence lately displayed by the shepherd dog owned by Lowell Foster. "About ten days ago he was aroused from preoccupation near the kitchen 'stove by a commotion in the barn, and on going there ho found one of his blooded cows doing her prettiest to hook the insides out of her calf. Cow and calf were in a roomy pen, and tho little fellow was escaping punishment as much as possible by huddling close to the mother's side. Foster stepped into the pen to try to quiet tho infuri ated cow, but he had no more than got both feet well inside when she charged him. lie tried to catch her by the horns and throw her, an old and clever trick among the cattle owners, but ho was too slow, and she hit him. "Down he went, with a wild yell for help. Grabbing tho cow by the horns lie succeeded in averting one or two of her attempts at goring, but his strength was failing him, and no doubt he would have fared badly had not his dog come tearing into tho barn and over the boards into tho cow pen. In a jiffy tho dog had the old cow by the nose, twist ing and pulling like a pup at an old boot. The cow tossed her licod, break ing the dog's hold, but ns she again lowered it to give play to her horns the dog sprang behind her head and fast ened to one of her cars. Great Scott, but didn't she bellow J She started around the pen with her ltoad down and bent to ono side, apparently in great agony. "In the meantime Foster had re gained his feet and got on the outside of the pen. After first taking tho ealf out Foster called off the dog, who, as soon as spoken to, let go his hold on the cow's ear and cleared tho pen in a bound." "Jerry was an Irish .setter," sakl the man from Augusta when comment 011 the Pigeon Hill dog had ceased, "and he was tho ugliest brute that ever found his way around on four legs. He was owned by Joe Col cord, the wood cock shot, and had it not been for his fITF. FOX FUT.LED HIMSELF ALONO. peculiar qualities in hunting Joe would have killed him before owning him two weeks. Talk about stanchness! That dog couldn't bo beat. I saw him ono day out on the Tagus marshes freeze as stiff as a lump of granite on a Wilson snipe while lie had a wood duck in his mouth that he had just retrieved. Had I not seen the; trick 1 never would have believed it. Joe and I were in a boat at the time, and Joe's eyes bulged like doorknobs. " 'What's ho up to, Joe?' said I, never believing that a dog could possibly point with a game bird already in his mouth. Joe, without seeming to notice me, half arose in the boat and cried: 'Put him up, Jerry,' and sure enough up went a snipe, which Joe downed. "Then it was that Jerry came to us with the duck, after which he fetched the snipe. We got twelve there that day, and never once did the old fellow piakc a false point." The next dog story was told by a fox hunter who knew about a Ilallowell jiound sometime ago called Dinah. She was famous for starting foxes, but had pot the best of reputations us a stayer. One day when a big party was out 011 snowshoes old Dinah gave voice near the outlet of Lake Cobosseecontec, and pwuy she went over the frozen country for the largest run in her history. Tho boys suspected tho favorite lair of tho fox and plugged the hole, so there was nothing for the old fellow to do but run. lie led old Dinah a fearful chase, and when night came on she was out of hearing. All hands went home, and nothing was heard of Dinah till threo days afterward, when a man over in Whitcficld drove into Gardiner with tho following story: Eurly that morning, which was threo days after Dinali had started tho fox, he was on his way from his house to his barn when he saw a fox dragging himself along, followed by a hound. They were about thirty yards away out in the field, and both animals ap peared to be completely played out. lie watched her for a moment. The fox pulled himself along for a rcxl or two, and then squatted down in tho snow. The hound dragged herself up to within five yards of the fox, and she, too, squatted down, evidently not dar ing to go nearer. There the two lay in the snow eying each "other, and neither of them paying the slightest attention to tho farmer. Tho latter, thinking it a good chance to get a fox, took a club and walked out and killed liiin. The moment the fox was struck tho hound dragged herself over to his car cass and began to shake it with what strength she had left. The farmer took her in and fed her, and later waa rewarded by her owner. * Anthracite coal nsnl exclusively, InsiiriiiK cleanliness and com tort. AHUAN(JI:MKNT OK I'assknckii TRAINS. NOV. 18, IHIM.
