THE PASSING OF FAI8. Harper's Weekly. All fads tend to live on awhile after the taste for them been satiated. The force of habit preserves them for a time, but their doom eventually ar rives. It Is no longer compulsory on persons of all ages to play golf.

It takes a good desl of time, and people who would rather do something else feel freer than they did to devote their lei nre to other thlnas. Brldee whist is a younger fad than golf, and Is still very prevalent: but It a great manv people who have made It the chief of the secondary objects of their existence will yawn In Its face. nd lnoulre If there are not other pas times which It would be expedient to test.

The Growing Poverty of the Island Offers So Fstarc for Them at Home They Arrive Here Penniless Often and aa a Rale Do Well Colonies of Them at the Atlantic Seaports West Indian Brides of Americana.

New Tork Sun. While he was riding through a West Indian village the other day, an American tourist stopped to take a drink and have a chat with the natives. School was Just being dismissed, and the boys crowded around him. The American asked a few of them what they were going to do when they grew up. Without an exception they replied: 'Going to America, sir, as soon aa ever can get enough money for the pas sage.

That a the place where west In dians get en, for there's no room for them to go ahead here." The tourist made further lnqnlrles among all classes of people, white and black, and found the same story every where, Every family had a son or daughter In the States, or one saving up money with the Idea of going there and making a fortune. There are large British West Indian colonies In Boston, New York, Philadel phia and other cities along the Atlantic seaboard. Tbey cling together, and make a point of hunting np new arrivals from the West Indies and helping them to find their footing among a strange people In a strange land. They retain a feellrig ot loyalty and affection toward their native country. Rarely does a British, Danish, Dutch or French West Indian take out naturalization papers and become an American cit izen, however long he may dwell In this country.

In. that respect they differ from most other Immigrants. When they gather together, as they often do, on festive occasions. It Is to celebrate one of their own national holidays and pay honor to their own flag and their own monarch. But, though they thus decline to be assimilated, they esteem American Institutions and form an excellent element In any community In which they settle.

Usualy they come to this country poor. Many a young man arrives at Boston or New York or Jamaica with $3 or in his pocket and not the slightest notion of what be Is going to do, or where he Is going to look for a Job. West Indian Immigrants are Incredibly reckless. They will throw np a good Job In Barbados, Jamaica or Antigua, spend almost their last cent buying first class steamship tickets, and land in America with a wife and family, but neither money nor prospects. Yet, somehow or other.

they always make good. "When I arrived In this country," said a Jamaican, "I wafe a youngster of eighteen, who had never seen a big town or city. I had Just 12 In my pocket, and my chum, who came with me, had 4. "Boston scared as at first. It was so large and so full of people; but some West Indian friends took us In hand, and we both got placea as clerks In business offices the first day we looked for work.

It was hard for the two of us to live on 6 until out first pay day cae around. but we managed It; and ever since then we have both gone ahead steadily. "American business bouses, as a rule, are glad to employ British West Indians-. They are well educated, trained to responsibility from earliest youth. Intent ou making their way, and familiar, of course, with West Indian products and requirements.

It Is true, tbey don't know many of the things that ever American clerk knows; but then they know many things that no American clerk knows, and that more than compensates, from the employer's point of view. "I have followed the careers of hundreds of West Indians who have come over here, and I have known very few of them to fall and go back home. Those few have made the big mistake of getting remittances from home. "I have known young West Indians who tramped the streets, workless and penniless and nearly starving, while their fathers owned big plantations and employed hundreds of negro and coolie laborers. A letter have brought them all the money they wanted, but thev were too proud to ask ir help.

"I'hev wrote home cheerfully, and never said a word about their struggles until they had 'made Such fellows as those are bound to make good In anv American city." Boston contains the largest West Indian colony tn Amerli-a. There are nearly 4000 West Indians thre, mostly Jamaicans. Many of them are enaaged tn the banana trade, of which Boston la the American headquarters and Jamaica the tropical center. In New York there are probably 3000 West Indians, and one street turning off from the lower part of Ninth avenue Is almost entirely Inhabited by Jamaican negroes. Iu Philadelphia, according to a Barbadian who lives there, the West Indians number nearly 20, and occupy many leading plsres In the world of commerce and Industry.

'From all accounts," this Barbadian, who Is In a big way of business, "the exodus from the British West Indies Is going to Increase. Indeed, It Is Increasing all the time. "The growing poverty of the Islands Is making It Impossible to go ahead there however shrewd one may be, and naturally all the bright, enterprising yonng men come here. The cost is muct, less than that of going to the mother conntrv, and everv West Indian Is firmly convinced that there are plenty of dollars to be picked up here, while he Is tubious slxit England. "Look at this paper." he continued, picking np a recent copy of the Standard, a newspaper of Antlgna.

British West Indlea. "See what It says about the matter," and he read as follows: Tbe number of those who hare left for and those who contemplate going to the United States, of the pick of th St. Kltts and An-tirua yonng people of both see some of them In the goTernment nerrtce, too is satatesrlTs of rars Tearing a sinking ship to escape peril.
