THE EVENING GAZETTE The Proportion of‘Women Among the New Arrivals. Some Strange Facts Brought Out by Official Statistics—Countries in Which There Are More Women Than Men. ' The publication of articles on the subject of European immigration into the republic of Venezuela. has called attention again to one of the curiosi- tiesof emigration which has never been clearly explained and remains there- fore something of an enigma. It is well known that the foreign immigra- tion into this country from the north~ ern nations of Europe—Great Britain, Germany, Russia. and Scandinavia.— have, like the early colonists from the same countries, been pretty evenly di- vided between the two sexes. The emigration from the southern coun- tries'of Europe, on the contrary, Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal, has been chiefly male, and to this fact, perhaps, more than to any other, is due the in- termarriage of emigrants and natives in South and Central America, and the general absence of such marriages in North America, particularly in the United States and Canada. The emi- gration from Ireland, for instance, for many years, has been more largely made up of female than of male emi- liand, the proportion for a period of more than 20 years is, male, 75; female, 25. The total number of emigrants t0 the United States from 1845, the first year of large emigration, to 1895, a period covering half a century, was in excess of 16,000,000, and more than 40 per cent. was female, whereas the large Spanish and Italian emigration to South Ameri- ca has been almost exclusively male. As this matter is not one of early oc- currence, but continues at present (the census figures resuming their old dimensions‘since the improvement of the number of women in those Euro- pean countries /from which there is and has been practically no female emigration, would be much larger than in those countries which have suffered a steady diminution through the emi— gration of persons of both sexes. But the contrary of this is shown by the figures of the Almanach de Gotha. In Italy, from which there is very little female emigration, the number'of fe- male inhabitants is actually less than the male inhabitants—in the ratio of '39 to 100. In Roumania it is 93 to 100. On the other hand, in Great Britain, from which the emigration of women has been continuous, they outnumber the men in the proportion of 104 to 100. In all the other countries of Europe from which there is and has been a. large female emigration a majorlty cf the inhabitants are women. In Rus- sia. the proportion is 102 women to 100 men, in Germany ‘104 women to 100 men, in Sweden 106 women to 100 men; in Switzerland 104wvomen to 100 men, and in Denmark and Austria 103 worn- en to 100 men. In France and Belgium the equality of proportion between the sexes is evenly preserved. Thus, in France there are 1,004 women to 1,000 men, and in Belgium the difference is smaller, there being 1,001 women to 1,000 men. A still more peculiar manifestation of the same paradox, if it may be so considered, is found in the official re- ports recently published in England of the emigration from that country during the last quarter of a. century. In 1860 481/3 per cent. of the popula tion of Great Britain was male and 511/2 per cent. was female. Between 1860 and 1.870 the female emigration was the larg- er, yet by the census of 1871 the female populatiOn increased the more rapidly. From 1870 to 1880 the male emigration was the larger, but the female popu- lation increased the more rapidly—N. Y. Sun. HAD NO BAD HABITS. But He Was Not an Angel, Just the Same, and So Told the Merchant. A boy, rather bright looking, almost pert, in fact, was before a. Main street merchant. He was there in response to an advertisement that called for a “bright, reliable boy, with no bad habits." He looked all right, but the merchant concluded to quiz the youngster, partly for amusement and partly to get some idea of his aptitude. “Do you ever smoke cigarettes, young man?” “No, sir." “Go to Sunday school every Sunday ‘2" “Yes, sir; some Sundays.” , “Ever swear when you’re mad ?” “Sometimes I say,‘(lern it.’ ” “You never sass your father, I hope ?” “You, bet I don’t. He’s bigger’n me.” “I hope you always keep yourself tidy and clean.” “Yes, sir; in summer time, always.” Right here the merchant stopped to get a. good one ready, and the boy con- cluded to say a few words. “Say, mister, didn’t you advertise for a boy ?” “Yes; wh’y ?” , “Why, I kinder thought maybe you wus lookin’ fur an angel, and I dunno where you can git one.” The interview ended and the mer- _ chant didn’t get a chance to hire the boy—Cincinnati Tribune.

Memorial Services Are Held Each Year at Alcove Springs. Kam, Where Pioneers of the Faith Were Massacred. \ During the past two months hundreds of Mormons residing near Indepen- dence, Mo.; Nauvoo, 111., and in Lee county, Ia., have been making their an- nual pilgrimages to the old Mormon crossmg of the Big Blue river in Mar- 'shall county. Near this historic spot are the Alcove springs, where so many of their people were massacred .by the Indians in 1846 as they were making‘ their way across the Great American desert to Salt lake. They have been visiting the old crossing in small hands since the first of September, crossing the Big Blue where their forefathers did and resting a. few days near the springs, where religious services were regularly held in commemoration of the early pioneers who braved the dangers and opened the way to the new Mormon settlement at Great Salt lake. The old Mormon or “Independence” crossing of the Big Blue is one of the most historic spots in Kansas. It has been visited by thousands of Mormons since the days of 1846 and the people who now live in the vicinity look for- ward to the pilgrimage of these people every year as one of the incidents of special note in Marshall county. It is the most beautiful and romantic spot in all Kansas. The Big Blue river is a stream as clear as crystal, and the Alcove springs are located in aseques- tered nook, which seems to have been made by nature for such gatherings as these. When the first immigrant trains carrying the Mormon people and their belongings to the Great Salt lake crossed the Big Blue at this now his- toric spot there was scarcely avestige of civilization in that region of coun- try. For ages its prairies had been covered with a. waving sea of wild grasses; vast herds of buffaloes had for numbcrless years wandered almost unmolested across them. Nothing dis- turbed its solitude save an occasional band of nomadic Indians in search of prey or plunder and the hardy fron- tiersman, who is always found far in advance of civilization. As early as 1820 Maj. Stephen 11. Long crossed that part of Kansas now known as Marshall county in command of an expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky moun- tains. Gen. Fremont, on his expedi- tion to the Rocky mountains in 1842-44, passed through that section of the state and mentions in his travels several im- migrant wagons en route to Oregon. It was in 1847 that John Smith, the Mormon apostle, with his band of fol- lowers from Illinois, opened his way through this country, crossing the Big Blue river at the old Mormon “Inde- pendence” or “California” crossing. This was six miles below the present town of Maryville, the county seat of Marshall county. For two years the exiled Latter-Day Saints passed Over the trail that led to this crossing of the Big Blue river. At one time a Mor- mon camping party was surrounded by Indians at this famous spot and all were killed. Among the party were several elders of the Mormon faith who were going to the western home to look after the spiritual welfare of the pioneers who had gone before. Ever since the Mormons of Missouri, Illinois and Iowa have made annual pilgrimages to Alcove springs, where appropriate services are held—St. Louis Republic. CANADIAN STATESMEN. How They Act While Attending Their Duties in Parliament. . It is a mistake to think that the act which led to the confederation of the various provinces in 1867 has attained no higher meaning in the life of the Canadian people than that of a. con- stitutional union. It carries with it a meaning of far deeper import~—a union of hearts, whose offspring is oneness of patriotic aim and purpose. Of course it wéuld be idle to say that. the Cana- dian people are a unit upon 'all ques- tions of vital interest to the life ‘and growth of the dominion. The geo- graphical interests of Canada. are so varied that. there must necessarily be at times same friction and clashing of provincial needs and ambitions. This is the case at Washington; this is the case, too, in so small a- confederation ‘ as the cantons of Switzerland. A stranger visiting the. gallery of the Canadian house of commons is struck with the dignity and decorum which mark the proceedings and surround even the warmest and kecnest of de- bates. Parliamentary procedure be- ing rigidly adhered to, there is little room for unseemly encounters, which usually grow out of uncalled for per- , sonalities in the heat of a. discussion. Sometimes, however, when the house has been sitting for hours. wearied . with the perplexities and incoherencies of some member from “way back,” sud- denly, as if through the unity of des- peration, the usual dignity of the house is relaxed and grave members from such intellectual centers as Montreal and Toronto play the schoolboy and outvic one another in “shying” blue books at the heads of slumbering and inoffensive members. Of the 215 mem- bers that make up the house of com- mons, in point of ability and gifts, 20‘ per cent. of them are below mediocrity; 20 per cent. of themoccupy the plane of mediocrity; 40 per cent. possess ad- mitted ability, and the remaining 20 per cent. are men of commanding talent. —Donaihoe’s Magazine. , 0n the Desert. - .

My most amusing experience—from a. retrospective point of view—occurred upon my first visit to Lorain, 0., some ten years ago. I arrived at night, and the proprietor of the only hotel in the place put me to bed with a man who inhaled with a. basso-profundo snore, and exhaled as near as I could judge, through a tin whistle. ,I did not, sleep n highest or all in Leavening Power.—- Latest U. S.‘Gov’t Report M ”M. Ansowtaw purer. well, and in the stilly night, when the landlord put his head in the door and remarked: “Fire!” in a tone of voice which made the furniture jump up and down, I nearly awoke. A few minutes later, the. landlord repeated the remark with so much emphasis that my bed- fellow arose with alacrity, and, poising momentarily with one ample but sul- try foot 'upon my thoughtful coun- tenance, he stepped lightly into- the street, taking part of the window-sash with him: ' As the room began filling with smoke it suddenly occurred to me that the fire department consisted for the most part of four buckets of water and a. chorus of hoarse shouts. I therefore decided to retire from the room. The other guests seemed to feel the same way about it, and as I reached the hall I noticed a dignified, elderly lady from Sandusky going swiftly down the stairs seated upon a sample trunk of a young man from Toledo. Outside all was commotion. Strong, brave men were ringing the town bell, while noble- hearted women were wringing their hands. A young lady' from Berea, clothed in a. Gainsborough hat and an air of deep concern, was galloping mad— 1y up and down the street with a pillow under her arm. An investigation dis- closed that a large amount of excite- ment was being wasted over a small amount of fire. The fire was caused by cigar sparks, which flew into a. hair mattress—a defective “flew,” so to speak. The fire was extinguished by throwing the mattress out of the win- dow. It fell on the town marshal and knocked him senseless, after which the town once more lay down. to sweet dreams of future greatness. — Cleve- land Plain Dealer.

The fluffy-haired waitress glanced down at her plain black skirts, blushed laboriously and said: “What was that you wanted?” “Flounces.” ‘ “How’li you have ’em—baked, boiled, Shirred or bias?” the girl responded, facetiously. She thought Mr. Pippin was given to repartee. “I want them fried with bacon,” Tony responded, with some severity. “Will you take my order?" “Yes, if you call for anything on the bill. This hain’t no Chinese laundry.” Struck by a sudden fear, Mr. Pippin grabbed the thumb-painted menu, scanned the oyster list for a moment, and then said, meekly: I “I made. a mistake. want.”—-—N. Y.
