In some of the eastern states system

prisoner is paid so much (23 cents for
each box of rocks he brushes, and this
applies on his board, and if he is serv-

or crush rock at so much per box to pay
his fine, and in addition his board also.
These boxes of crushed rocks are put
into mud holes and bad places on county
roads not too far out of town, say one
to three miles. The county has to
bear the expense of the prisoners and
it is but just that some of the jail work
should go out on county roads. We
have seen no less than half dozen
prisoners, each working like troopers,
pounding rocks to pay off fines and
board. 1t is better for them to do some

centage Of the races making up Ave
sixths of the total went beyond the

Consequently, the Italian and Jewish
population OF this city is increasing far
more rapidly than any other, and, IL their
immigration continues in its present vol
ume, in few years they will make
up the majority of the population OF alien
birth and descent.
We shall not draw any conclusion
from these statistics, for their signifi-
canoe will impress everybody; but we
will remind philosophers inclined to
shake their heads over them that when,
fifty-odd years ago, the Irish and Ger
man immigration began to come in great

readily discoverable is the tendency OF
the new immigrants to concentrate In
New York, instead of distributing them
selves through the Union, but proba-
bly, that will adjust itself eventually.
If they remain here, the inference is that,
for the present at least, they seem to
have in this neighborhood the best
chance of getting along.

Age and Reporters.

Our neighbor, the Times, makes just
protest against an unfortunate habit Of
reporters and makers of newspaper
headlines. These gentlemen persist
in calling folks of 80 and thereabout
aged" The habit is spread all over the
United States. We have rebuked it
hundred and hundred times For the
instruction and reproof of the erring, we
have culled from the long roll of living
centenarians many a candidate for the
bicentenarian class. Thus have we
sought to instil sense of proportion and
a knowledge of the proper divisions of
human life.
If the epithet aged is still misap-
piled scandalously, the fault is not wholly
due to the youth and inexperienoe Of
reporters and deskmen" Strange as
it seems to the newspaper kindergar-
tener with the dimpled chin, reporters
are extant who have grandchildren, and
we have known copy readers Of
patriarchal beard. Yet these persons,
who should be the first to resent an
improper use of this abused and foolish
adjective aged, will themselves mis-
use it shamefully. The COMPOUNDED i'm
penetrability of matter is their excuse.
A headline can hold only so many
letters. A man of 90 may be middle
aged or " young in the estimation Of
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1903-07-29

the copy reader" but the first epithet
is much too long and the second is often
too long by letter. The real or supposed
necessities Of type have imposed them
selves. The reporter, however in&en-
uous in his budding days, naturally COM
plies with the style Of the fortunate man
who has the happiness of reading his
compositions. Thus millions of tender
juvenals are classified as aged to their
amusement or annoyance.
This is the kindest defence that can be
made of thing essentially indefensi-
BILE. There is darker side to the mat
ter. The study Of these reporters, like
that OF too many other characters OF
this age OF novels, is but little on the
Bible. If they would learn the fifth
chapter of Genesis by heart, they would
get correct notion Of age. Here are
few men who, in their last years, might
without offence have been called aged:
ADAM, $50; SETH. 9l2; ENos, COS; CANAAN,
91O; JARED, 882; METHUsELAH, $50.
. We exclude middle-aged persons like
MAHALALEEL, who was cut off in his s98th
year, and adolesoents like LAMEcH, who
lasted only TIT years. Indeed, Me-
THUsELAH is the only man in the list
to whom we should grant patent to be
called aged" but the standard must
not be put too high at first.
Viability increases every day. In a
few hundred years no life insurance
company will dare to sell an annuity
1t is the more unbecoming to speak Of
striplings of 90 to 7O'as aged" For the
convenience OF reporters and others we
give a provisional scheme of classified
ton: Infants, as at present, birth to
81; boy, youth, adolescent, p to II; mid
dle-aged, II until further notice.

people are busy and prosperous. and are
becoming more busy and more pros
porous. Their purchasing power is in
creasing from year to year, and the out
let for their surplus shows no signs OF
contracting. But a time is rapidly ap-
preaching when Canada will be obliged
to effect reorganization Of her fiscal
policy. The lines upon which new
policy is based should be broadly con-
structive, with view to the fullest de-
velopment of such of her resources as
are really worth development and which
can be stimulated without imposing an
undue charge upon other interests.
For the present, at least, Canada must
look to her agricultural interests, to her
cattle, and to her dairy products, as the
basis of her greatest wealth. Any pro-
tective system which would tend to re-
strict development in those lines would
seem to be a mistake.
