' '* * * .. •* The.dlsruptlort of-families caused by deaths In . the war Abroad has at the same ,time brought to this-, country immigrants who are mainly younger than the average, as far as may be observed off . hand. A detailed-study of statistics along'/this line .has not been mqde, but the .general imprils- elon is given, after seeing shipload' after ship- -load of the future Americans, that there Is a pre ponderance not only of young women, especially of ypung mothers, in the newly arrived of thei. , gentler sex., but that- the men who are landing here in quest of fortune are more youthful and more aldrt In appearance than the Immigrants of previous years. .

' •It may be safely-assumed, that they actually go to the points indicated. \The inducement ' o-f high - factory, wages has kept the majority of them near the Atlantic seaboard.- Thus New York state has received 106,630, Massachusetts 41.594, Connecti cut 13,212 and Pennsylvania 27,337. -Some of the ■middle western states, such as Ohio, IMinois and • Michigan,-have gained large-quotas, and- in Cali fornia a gain of 32,502 is* reported.

There Is' much promise of better conditions, however, in. the division of dlstribntion, , estnb- • lished by Commissioner Wallis, and placed, by him In charge of-P. A. Donohue, a veteran Investiga tor of the department of labor. It is the function of this bureau to see to it that the Immigrftnts know about the opportunities'fi>r employment, which are open to them In the jess .congested- areas of the country. . ' . The recently, completed census of the United States has shown stronger-ftian-'ever: before the . trend toward the municipalities. Not only does the new comer seek the city where he may find his kith and IjJn, and submerge^ hjmself In a colony, but there Is. also a drift of the natlve-.bom American from the rural to the urban communi ties. '• .1 Wallis*' Anti-Segregation Plana. “ Immigration,\ snid^. Commissioner WaHla,, “ has * played a . greater part than It should In. this un- •'deslrable segregation.. This has been largely due to the fact that the immigrant when he arrives here often has very little Idea of the extent of ’ • the country, and of the many opportunities which are before him. If he will consider them. For thla- reason, we are'maktng clear to Immigrants whllg -great need, of tills work and have even supported ther, Sir R i eh a n re n vi 1. said he was IR but the time has come to take up this xnatter oij yet too young.

We sue to.lt that Imtnigwwnt-does not leave this-island until we are satisfied that' he- will not ■ become a public charge or get a wrong start through his ignorance of the •ways of this country.

Well Provided With Money. A phase of the Immigration of the present Is that, on the Whole,'the nawly como Ita vo fnr more money than dki the aliens whei readied here before the war. - * Cotninissloner Wallis declared that an average of $100. apiece; is about the amount with which an Immigrant now readies this-country. I ‘ Taken -ail ‘ in al!, ” . he continued, \he might be considered almost wealthy comparetl with, those -Who came here many years ago, and yet Wc do not accept the mere possession* of cash as any sign, that * ‘ man -will not become a public charge. We would- rather take the risk, with ~a man with $10 if he has a good trade anil a' job waiting far him, and has friends in this country, than w.- would a man who qjay have several thousands of dollars and yet seem to have flo ability and no initiative. ’ * v dne of the veteran Inspectors remarked/sadlj. ■and reminiscently, that there are now no “ fype? with the famous Sir Francis Drake around-the world. Following that voyage came fight ing in Ireland in the company of'Sir Waltcr Raleigh and the poet Spenser; and then aa expedition with Sir Hum phrey Gilbert wherein, because of mu tinies, disease, ill-found ships tfnd great, storms'. Sit Humphrey met his death ; atfif Alfiyas came hoine in, sad ness. At this time Amyas, with a score of other Devon gallants, was in love with .Mistress Rose Salt erne ; but she was for no pevon-eavaljar. A Spanish' cap tain of bravery arid charm was dwell ing In Devon tin his ransom should be coming, and it was he who captured fhe fancy of the lovely but capricious Rose, and carried her off to; Caracas, whereof he had been appointed gov ernor. . • ■ Whether \Rose went as Doh.

Mr. Saltefne. father to Rose, and rich merchant of the port, gave a ship and 500 pounds toward the fitting out, the siftne to be commanded' j>y Amya.s v by now-experienced lh seamanship arid the handling of rough men; and so he sailed oh his. first venture fm the good ship Rose, j)f 200 tons burthen ami 100 men, with beef, pork ami good ale In abundance, and culvefins, swivels, muskets, ’ callvers, long bows, pikes and cutlasses aplenty.

She came hackv ami she being by then far from - her habitation he had not thp heart, to cast her adrift in the vast wilder-' ness. So. every man solemnly pledged to treat her .With honor, she came to be with thern in the adventure where ed and he desirous of heartening them up, set upon a great galleon Tn the HjMsr bor . of -Cartagena. Silently, in two - capobs, they made the harbor, and, it being night, hoarded the galleon se-' cretly hy her-stent gallery; and after a short fierce -fight the galleon, with, much treasure aboard, fell Into their * hands. It,was here In ‘ this fight that Amyas would have been rutr through by the Spanish captain but for Ayana- cora, who came leaping from behind ■ and knifed the. Spaniard ere he; could drive home the long blade. • But forty of their, one hundred re mained ;' notwithstanding which they sailed with mu'ch content in,the great galldon to England. Ayanacora. sail-' ing with them, did, one day burst into singing of seg songs which only Engy • iish sailoni knew; which caused Sal-' vatjon Yeo to ask questions, to which, ns she acquired the English tongue, she-made answer; which answers re called to Yeo that fair Spanish' lady of Panama who had run off with Cap tain Oxenham, and to whom whs.horn the baby girl which was later made , off'with. Captain Oxenham had suf fered death at the hands Of the Span ish, husband and Yeo himself bad .es- of brown pearls; ------ hides,! which, smelt evilly as they not -ta Uke that dear girl to. your raped only with many cruel scars, but the scarred old. rover had spent days enough with tl/e lovely-little girl, to know now, as In a dozen ways, he proved, that this was'the daughter ’ of Captain Oxenham and his Spanish' lady, the .little girl to whpm he had taught the English sea. songs before she was taken from them. ‘ Homeward the great galleon ran be fore the sehthwest'breeze,, and proud ly into Plymouth sound she sailed on ‘ e day without veiling topsails or low- erlng*the flag of Spain, for which they, had like to get ' q solid shot from the admiral of the port. And so Amyas came home in honor and glory, but with the lovely and lov ing Ayanacora he would have noth ing to do, she having In her too much of that ‘ Spanish blood which he hated. However, bis gentle- mother, Under standing better tlie worth of loyal vlr- tne. took lhe_.glrl t o her bosom. _ _ ___ . Once more Amyas took the sea, now* as an admiral under Lord Howard, who-had gathered \all of England ’ s, stqut ships and seamen to fight Spain ’ s Armada.- Amyas won his share of glory In that fight and he might have come home In safety ; bul there was Don Guzman,, who had left Rose to he put to death, even as he had his broth er. Frank, the one for a traitor and the other for a heretic. Amyas must have his vengeance on Don Guzman, who was commanding a ship of the. Armada, and so lie strove to hold close to him; hat the tempest, which seenied ,to bear hate for the Spanish fleet, now cast' Don Guzman ’ s tail caravel to her death on the sands of Flanders. The vengeance of Amyas was . sated, as was Toe ’ s ; but almost on the Instant, from the, heart of the tempest flew 9 white bolt of lightning to strike down both, him and Teo, Teo to his death and.Amyas to the blindness of both eyes. So Amyas came home from his last cruise, ft great helpless hulk, as he bitterly said; hot so mayhap only as snch ' could* one of his nature have ever come to understand the heart of a lovely, virtuous woman. * .It -was the patience of Ayanacora, the wisdom of his -mother, .which taught him. “ Fear not; Amyas,\ he heard hlk'-mother ’ a voice saying; (Tear heart; far.it la year mother who lays ttUsraSL derntand.
