Some of the children will regret this change in their lives, but to the majority it -will be welcome.

Matthews in a current magazine article on the probable effects of immigration on life nd character. There are those who regard this immigration with apprehension. Among them arc men of sober minds and serious thoughts. Vet," as IrofeS8or Matthews 'well poiats out, these fears today are Ibut repetitions of the fears of the past, which proved unfounded. No one now thinks of Irish immigrants as unwelcome to the republic, and yet within the memory of men still living their coming was the cause of social and political agitation.

Jt seems probable that that agitation would have continued, with first the Herman and then the Scandinavian as its target, had not the exigencies of the civil war presented the German in a new" light. From the Teutonic ranks came forth the kind of men of whom the nation had need men with some knowledge of soldiership, and especially trained officer. Since then the immigration alarmist lias had little to say. Yet we have today the fears of the '40s ami the 50s revived with respect to the Italian and the Slav. It is said, for instance, as a proof of the change we are undergoing, that -New York has ceased to be au American city.

The charge is the more believed because there is something peculiar about the average and typical New York city-man. Yet it is a fact statistically demonstrable that New York is qnite as "American today as it has been in any of its three centuries It has always been either "a sink of nations' or a crucible of Americanization, as one pleases to look at it. How the melting in this crucible goes on may be illustrated by ome of the many details cited by Pro-lessor Matthews: 'The German theater Is deserted by the sods and daughters ot the older Germans who subsidise It. Already ar the sons of Italian Immigrants cs ruing up through the high schools and the City college, and entering the graduate departments ot our universities. The boys and girls of Little Italy speak English as fluently as Italian, and while they saints the flag In school In the street they amuse themselves with the traditional games ot Anglo-Saxon youth.

When New York celebrated the centenary ot the constitution. nowhere were the portraits of too father of bis country more frequent than la the Ghetto. The cbtldrew and grandchildren of these Ignorant Immigrants thrill la response to the same patriotic appeals which novo as of the older stocks. They take swift pride la belug Americans. And as Professor: Matt hews finds it in New York so it is throughout tho As a detail of local interest it is recalled that one of the nrst of those sensible and straightforward declarations which foreshadowed the return of the people of Chicago from rainbow chasing to practical achievement in their.

local government came from an association of Bohemian business men. "In some mysterious fashion, Professor Matthews says "as -we Americans have imposed our ideals on the Irish and tho Germans so we are now imposing them on the Italians and the Russian Jews." We have begun to recognize that it will not do to leave the gates wholly unguarded. We hare excluded and are excluding the Oriental because his civilization is "hostile to exclusive and repellent. We have seen that while it may seem fine to think of our country as a "world asylum" we most remember that asylums are not governed by laeir inmates. In a single year we have sent back 12.08(lundeirable immigrant.

'Perhaps no ot bee literature interests and amuses those whow reside in the suburbs, as do the it hi si rated magazines which' are- t-i deacrihi or acd picturing suburbain life- Moreo-er, a great many of those who are making easy payiuent-s, as welt as those who have lifted the first mortgage and are negotiating for a second.

The- view which shows the front elevation of a suburban "cottage large enough for a hotel carries with it the impreaaiou that the salary of the house staff amounts te more in a muath than the prospective dweller ia the suburb earns in a year. Another peculiar picture ot the sub-urbs, as pictured in the suburban life magazines, is the absence of all forms of life. Id the wonderful page pictures we see nothing but quiet landscape views. We do Mot catch a glimpse even of a sheep. It seem Incredible that the photographer, bo matter how careful he may be, can give so manv different views of "A Typical Half Million Dollar Suburban Home without showing the heabouse!

"Orchard Cities-Orchard cities! The words have a pleasant sound, bnt seem paradoxical. Yet orchard cities, predicts Frank Alton Morgan in the Nineteenth Century, are to transform England into a garden, and have proved tbe possibility of doing so in the cases of two towns.

The plan is to secure one acre hold-inK" plant them with frwit trees, -and construct upon them glass houses for the raising of tomatoes, small traits, and the like. The experiment has been tried in the two settlements named, and it has demonstrated that in these instances at least the plan lias In it sound business sense. To succeed the one acre orchard lot must be in the immediate environment of a large to provide a market and to afford cheap passenger transportation. "The project is in tbe interest of the city dweller, and is rendered possible by the increase of surface and "tube" railways in London and the London metropolitan district.

The writer enumerates the sorts tit people who can hope to take up with tbe idea: These orchard cities were primarily Intended for townsmen, and as a fact tits bulk of the Je aliens of these miniature cities were drawn from the crowded streets of the metropolis.

provea eoaclusively, it sit.ms to us, that llussia still a hopeless laggard ia the march of civilization. This news is to the effect that thirty-conspirators ia the town named, which is the depository for funds required for Siberian public- works, have been arrested for'coiispiricg to steal of tbe government's money. Indeed, some of those engaged In the plot were caught in tbe act of digging a tunnel from a hotel to tbe safe. This, theu. is.

And tbe Siberian patriots, who have read Tolstoi and Gorky morning, noon, and night, are still nnregenerate. They do not loathe money. On the contrary, they conspire for Yet we must not be too severe In our eriticrtras of the Hussianpat riots.

It may be all due to the fact that Russia has no Douma.

The Future of Oxtail Soup. That element of our population which is constantly on the alert for news of calamities will no doubt be -pleased to learn that calves without tails are being born numerously in the section of Ohio of which tbe town of Bryan is very appropriately -the industrial, financial, and social center. The first tailless calf was born on tbe farm of a well known resident named R.

H. Lamphere. Tbe second came to Dick Arrowsmith- And now Walter Haskell, than whom there is none more trustworthy, reports that a tailless calf Of tbe shorthorn variety was born on his place last Tuesday morning. Aside entirely from the disadvantage to which these calves must be subjected as they grow up, by reason ot their inability to contend successfully with their natural enemies In fly time, another and a more serious consequence is likely to ensue in case calves born hereafter shall all be born without tails. ') One can readily see the end of oxtail soup.

"It might.be possible eveB then, as it has been ia the past, tomake oxtail soup out of other parts ot the ox, if it were not for the exacting provisions of the pure food law, which makes it necessary that oxtail soup shall be prepared from an ox's tail. But this Is aot really the worst we have to fear. The worst we have to fear is the danger that if calves are permitted to fall into the habit or should, we call it a custom? of being born withoutrtails other animals, with their natural tendency to follow a bad example, will not be, content until they are born without things that we have learned to regard as being; equally as desirable as oxtails. For example, suppose that beeves that are already without tails shall decide after a while -to be born without ribs, or steaks? Suppose that sheep then shall decide to be born without chops? If the calves may successfully dispense with their tails, the kids certainly should have the right to dispense with their skins, and where then should we look for our kid gloves? Chickens would soon be born without giblets, frogs without legs, pigs without bams, dogs without barks, birds without bills, mosquitoes -without hoaxes, and so on and so on until we should hardly know where to find anything that was not different from what it used to be be fore calyes. learjiinq- that they were to be near a- town called de ckled tp be-bon without, tnilsv When one looks dispassionately over ti immediate past and takes into, account, the many tJhlngless things that hae come to as, and when one calmJy considers the many things that are as yet unthinged, in the animal, vegetable, and' mineral kingdoms, the 'outlook, seetn-s gloomy enough, to.

This is. at lea si, a- point at which the never faijr ing motlicum.olcqmpefisat ion-cq me ajjju in the presence of the tailless calf, and tbe prospects ot the elipunation of oxtail soup trow, the bill oi Jure, those who have been expecting something de-pressjng to. happen should at least satisfied.
