Still they Come.

immigration figures have just
been published for the fiscal year
ended June 80, as compared with
the corresponding period a year
ago. The result is a showing en-
couraging in some respects and
less so in others. A decrease in
the immigration from Austria
Hungary and Italy can not be
deeply deplored at present by any
one, and $1,000 less OF these i'm
migrants came to this country last
year than the year before. A per
ceptible increase in the ilnmigra-
ton from the British isles IS q
good sign, and so is the increase
IN the importations from the Ger
man empire. But falling of OF
1906 in the immigration from
Sweden IS a definite loss These
Scandinavian settlers are the kind
of stock we need. The tide is still
pretty strong Nearly 10000 new
corners landed in America during
July, 1904.

Costly Letters.

In India a letter sent to ma
tive prince is often a very elab-
crate affair. The paper is specl-
ally made for the purpose, and is
sprinkled with gold leaf. Only
the last few lines OF the some
what lengthy document contain
the purport of the letter, while
the remainder is made up OF the
usual roundabout and compll
mentary phrases. 1t is folded in
a peculiar way, with the flaps
outward, and placed in muslin
bag, and this latter into one of
crimson and gold tint, with a slip
knot Of good thread, attached to
which is a ponderOus seal. The
address, written on slip OF
parchment, is attached to the out
side bag. These details are very
important for polite lc-tcr writing
in India, and if any one OF them
were omitted it would be n in
suit to the person addressed

How 40. <" Was Started.

The origin OF the symbol 90.
K" is attributed by some to ia
cob Astor, founder of the Astor
family. If a note of inquiry as
to any particular traders financial
condition or credit responsibility
came to him and he found the
trader responsible he would
write across the note the letters

or write correctly, and he sup
posed O. K. to be the initials OF

West, however, give to Sam
Houston the credit OF originating
the term.
