wages in the United States are far
ahead of the wages paid on the Clyde,
and the wages of the Clyde practically
fix the wages of foreign ship-building.
From this showing it might be con-
cluded that as the ship-builder pays
such very low wages he could produce
ships at very low cost. But this is
offset by the loss of time in using cum
berstone and ancient machinery and
by extra work in putting on superior
finish. A Clyde ship-yard employs a
great many more men to the same
amount of work than an American yard
does. In Cramps ship-yard at Phila-
delphia they do about the same class
of work as done on the Clyde. but the
Cramps yard employs only 2.200 men,
while the Clyde yard doing the same
amount of work as Cramps would have
to employ many more men to handle
its bulky machinery. Still the Cramps
have to pay much higher wages than
those paid on the Clyde, yet they have
better facilities for work and better
machinery to work with.
AS to the social condition of the ship
builders abroad. my opinion is that
they do not have the comforts Of those
in America, The living is cheaper, as
it must be to live on the wages re-
ceived. But the workingmen do not
surround themselves with the comforts
enjoyed by the American workingmcn.
They live shabbily, and in many cases
they are satisfied to call a loaf of bread
and glass of redwood wine a meal.
In America our ship-workers live in
their own homes and their tables have
an abundance for good meal. They
not only enjoy the comforts of life but
many of them enjoy its luxuries also.
know American ship carpenters who
live as well as the ordinary city mer-
chant.
My general conclusion from what
saw abroad was that while the foreign
ship-building industry, such as that of
the Clyde, was far more extensive than
ours, yet it would have to give way
eventually to American manufactures
of this class. They can not compete
much longer with our American ma
chinery and American methods. and /
predict that within fifteen years Amer
ica will have good share of the ship
building now done on the Clyde, and
with that start it will not be long be-
fore America will build her own ships.

FIRST AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
1t Was an Exhibition of Two Sheep Under
an Elm Tree.

1t Was Exhibition of Two Sheep Under
an Elm Tree.
While Chancellor Robert r. Living
ston was in France he purchased some
very superior Merino sheep of the
Rambout flock, which he brought with
him to his fine estate on the Hudson.
Mr.. Watson, in 1903, made the chan
cellor a visit, and from his flock OF
Merinos selected two which he took
with him to Pittsfeld. The sheep OF
the country were then of the coarse,
loose wooled, native varieties, and the
swine were of breeds equally defective.
Visits from farmers became so numer-
Gus to see these French Merinos that
Mr.. Watson decided to give an exhibit
ton of the animals, under large elm
tree, on the public square, in Pittsfield.
Many farmers, and even females. were
attracted to this first novel and humble
exhibition. From this incident Mr..
Watson reasoned thus: 'If two an
imals are capable of attracting so much
attention, what would be the effect of
a display on larger scale OF different
auimalsp" The farmers present saw
the drift of his argument, and some
twenty-six signed paper to hold an
exhibition of stock the ensuing October.
From this small beginning-an exhibi-
tion of two sheep under an elm tree on
the public square at Pittsfeld-orig-
mated all the State and county fairs
now annually held in every State in the
Union. To Mr.. Watson alone must
the credit be given for originating the
first agricultural society in America, if
not in the world!
In 1910 the first cattle show and
agricultural society secured charter
from the Legislature of Massachusetts,
and the preliminaries were perfected
for a formal and extended festival on
the following September. When that
eventful day arrived, at an early hour
the village of Pitts6eld was thronged
by thousands of excited and interested
spectators. The procession was splen-
did, novel and imposing, beyond any
thing of the kind ever witnessed or
heard OF. One interesting feature was
sixty-nine oxen, connected by chains.
drawing II plow held by the Oldest man
in the county, headed by band of
music. Each member was decorated
with badge of wheat in his hat. A
platform on wheels, drawn by oxen
carried broadcloth loom and spinning
jenny in full operation. 1t was agreat
and glorious day for Pittsfield and the
farmers of Berkshire County.
Mr.. Watson was not only the founder
of the first agricultural society, but
was alst the first president to preside
over the first society, and on this oc-
casion delivered the first address to an
agricultural audience. and the first to
announce the premiums. The prizes
were small. amounting altogether to
$40. The next exhibition. in 1872,
showed "a large increase OF premiums.

Social Etiquette

that kissing rs social salntaticn has gone

pie who profeeo to follow the beat social
usage. This is, however, q very strong
statement of the case, the reign Of social
oscu a;iop being oy no means over. But it is
true that t. gradual reform has within year
~ ;wo been in progress, as may be noted In
the behavior OF people whose example In
hnences society. On this subject Good
Housekeeping says:
The rf torm may be traced to two causee
"a gradual perception of the fact that indis-
crlmiuate kissing is in exceedingly bad
iaate, offensive to many people and pleasing
to very few; and the discovery that it is
not only unrefued but is source OF danger
TO health enG life. The force of these
two arguments against promiscuous kiss
