1887, we do not find another rise until the latter year, still further increase in arrivals from foreign countries being noted in 1888. The next great drop comes with the panic of 1893, this dip reaching its lowest point in the years 1897 and 1898. Thereafter the wave rises by leaps and bounds, with the great period of prosperity from 1897 to 1908.
 As was said, the statistics of immi.
 ation make an almost perfect regis.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-22

Marking the panic of 1857, the depres. sion continues unabated in immigra- ton and commerce alike. The busi- ness stagnation of the civil war is es- pecially marked in the year 1862, when immigration fell below the 1oO,- 900 mark. The tide slowly rises again, only to collapse with the panic of 1873, in which year immigration passed the 450,000 mark. Slowly descending, the greatest degree of depression is re- corded in the years 1877 and 1878, when the wave suddenly begins to gather strength once more, rising with the business boom, which reached it's cuImination in 1882. Reacting with
 the business depression of 1883 to
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-22

the country to which the flow of aliens is directed, it's cuIminations and it's Impressions are likely to be about one year behind the cuIminations and de- pressions in the state of business. 1t is also of interest to note that a great increase of immigration is usually fol lowed by a corresponding activity in "native American" or "antiforeigner" sentiment, as is shown by the Know Nothing movement of 1854 to 1860 and the American Protective associ- aton of 1883 to 1890. 1t is possible that new movement of similar na- ture will be deve ioped within the next year or two as a result of the present heavy immigration.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-22

HE accompanying diagram, which
 ~shows the rise and fall of the
 wave of immigration into the
 United States during the past sixty years, is also of service as pie turing to a remarkable degree the ups and downs in trade and commerce during the same period. As will be seen, the first high point in immigra- tion occurs in the year 1854, and this indicates the cuIn?inaton of the period of prosperity following the gold dis coVeries in California. In 1855 sud- den fall is seen, due doubtless to the Know Nothing movement, which won it's greatest victories in 1854.

THE VICES OF CULTURE.
Some False Ideals Set Up by Men Who
Ought to Know Better-Buying
Up Legislation.

~Vice will never cease" says Prof.
William James. Every level of culture
breeds it's own peculiar brand of vice
as one soil breeds sugar and another
~cranberries. If we were asked the dis
agreeable question, What are the bosom
vices of the level of culture which our
land and day have reached? we would
be forced, l think, to give the still more
disagreeable answer that they are swim
ding and adroitness, and the indulg-
ing of sWindling and adroitness and
cant, and sympathy with cant-naturaI

verest censure on the mere burglar and
pickpocket who only does at his level
of culture" what the financier does at
his, and laments the ignorance, the lack
of education in which such viciousness
spawns. Public opinion denounces the
man charged with a public trust who be-
trays it; the legislator, of great or small
degree, who sells legislation, and, when
it catches him, sends him to wear stripes.
But how rarely, says the st. Paul Dis
patch, is it that the men OF education,
college men, who were the br1bers or
the convict, are caught and punished.
The ignorant level has it's vices in plen-
ty, but they are vulgar ones, gratifying
physical desires for the most part. One
has to get up to the higher level of cul-
ture to reach the plane where swindling
is a fine art, with college-trained brains
guiding operations.

STIMULUS TO INDUSTRY.
Mexican Governor Offers Annual Cash
Prize to Artisans WHO Are
Steady and Sober.

The governor of the state of Mexico
has founded an annual prize of $500 to
be awarded to the artisan who during
the year has most distinguished him
self for his industry and sobriety and
for the prompt and unvarying attend
ance at his daily tasks, especially or the
mornings following Sundays and gen
orally observed feast days. The initia-
tive of Gov. Villada. says the Mexican
Herald, will have a good effect in slim
ulating useful emulation among the
working class of the state of Mexico,
which has always been TO the fore, es-
pecially during the regime of the pres
ent governor, in industrial and educa-
tional progress.
Not long age the press noticed with
merited commentator the establish
ment, under Gen. Villada's auspices, OF
a place of innocent recreation for the
working class at Toluca. This is prac-
tical philanthropy. The working class.
where it sees that an intelligent inter
est is being taken in its welfare, will
demonstrate its appreciation by closer
attention to work. The example of the
public-spirited executive of the state of
Mexico is worthy of imitation.

INSECTS ALWAYS IN DANGER.
Hardly "A Single Group Which Does
Not Suffer from Appetite of
Some Species of Bird.

There is hardly a single group of in
sects which does not suffer from the ap-
petite of one or more species of bird,
a y Nature. The eggs and larvae are
dug and pried out of their burrows in
the wood by woodpeckers and creepers;
those underground are scratched and
clawed up to view by quail, partridges
and many sparrows; warblers and
vireos scan every leaf and twig; fly
catchers, like the cat family of NAM
mails, lie in wait and surprise the insects
on the wing, more particularly those
flying neal the ground, while swifts,
swallows and martins CLEAN a harvest
from the host of high-flying insects.
When we think hummingbirds are TAX
ing dainty sips of honey from the flow
.ers they are in reality more often
snatching minute spiders and flies from
the deep cups of the calyXes. When
night falls the insects which have
chosen that time as the safer to carry
on the business of active life are pouGced
on by crepuscular feathered beings; the
cavernous mouths of whip-poor-wills
engulf them as they rise from their hid
ing places and the bristles of night
hawks brush them into nc less rapacious
maws if ~perchance they have succeeded
