Petitions are being circulated at Ma
pies asking for special session of the
Legislature to establish a water mark
on the Songo River below which 1t will
not be lawful to drain off the water,
The reason for the petition is the low
water which has prevailed in the Som
go River this summer which has de-
strOyeG the steamboat business and
been the cause of considerable loss to
the town of Naples. 1t is claimed that
the low water is due to the fact that
water was drawn off from Lake Seba
go last winter in anticipation of spring
freshets which did not materialiZe. A
engineer was sent up to the river and
after making survey has recommend
ed that lock be built near the mouth
of the river. Such a lock. he says would
enable the river to be kept at a height
independent of the lake, and that when
the lake was high enough the lock need
not be used. 1t is believed that this
plan will solve the difficulty and it is
probable that the lock will be built.

The Decline in Sheep.
boston GlObc.)

(bOStOn (TlODt.)
An official report Of the Department
Of Conmerce and Labor declares that
for years to come there will be more
money in sheep than i'm any other agri-
cultural product, and that the Ameri-
can farmer above all others, is in 4
position to profit by this condition.
The reascr why sheep raising is to be
so profitable is to be found in the fact
that the flOcks of the world are de.
Ginning at an alarming rate. In lit
tie more than 80 years. or since 1873.
this decline shows a loss of no fewer
than 93.O00,000 head, an average OF
more than 100000 year. At the
present time the American farmer has
the bulk of the sheep trade with Great
Britain. but he is not factor in the
mutton market. and last year ne fur
nished only three-tentrs of l per cent.
of the wool imports of Great Britain.
The British trade in sheep imports
last year was 382.240, and of these the
United States supplied 294,S04. But
while the British imported S.530,659
hundredweigtts of mutton in 1904. the
American farmer supplied only APO
hundrcoweishts of this vast amount.
Great Britain imported 446S.016
pounds of wool last year. but bought
only 1857. $50 pounds from the Ameri-
can farmer. 1t may thus be seen what
an immense field of trade. even Win
one nation alone. is open to American
enterprise in single agricultural
product. Argentina, Australia ard
New Zealand largely supplied the
British trade in mutton and wool last
year.

South Afriea's Chinese Problem.

South Africa is facing Chinese
problem which is already vexatious
one and which promises to reach more
uncomfortable proportions in the near
future. 1t is the result of the importa-
ton CT so, 900 or more Chinese contract
laborers to work in the gold mines.
These Cinnamon have been imported
within the past two years by the mine
owners who were not satisfied with ma
getting the consent of the colonial gov
eminent. The matter never came be-
fore Parliament ard if it had it is not
at all likely that Parliament would
ever approve Of it. The colonial ONCE
however, exists very largely for the
mine owners and while it has pleased
them by allowing horde of coolies 10
come to South Africa, it has seriously
displeased the Beers and the English
settlers and has laid the foundation for
some unhappy complications in the
near future. The output of the gold
mines has increased as the Chinese
workers have been more tractable and
industrious than the native Africans
used to be, and SO from the point Of
view Of the mine owners who see only
the immediate profits the experiment is
a success. Otherwise there is trouble
all along the line.
1t was understood that the Chinese
should be employed only in the mines
but thousands have escaped from the
stockadcs In which they were herded
like animals, and are seeking work
along all lines and proving a menace
to both white and black labor. Some
are engaging in trade. and many are
proving law breakers of the most dan
gerous type. Thus the native Africans of
whom there are an abundance at hand
for I'LL inferior and mental work, the
Beers, who hated the government
enough already without this additional
incentive, and the British settlers
who went from home to find employ
ment and opportunities not to be had
in England are all disgruntled and Wig
orous in their complaints of the evil
effects of the Chinese invasion. More
over, the English people at home are
finding out that this Chinese contract
labor system in the South African
mines is nothing but a form of slavery
and are freely expressing their opinions
of it. II is difficult to tell what will be
the ultimate consequence of the step
which the colonial government unfor-
tunately allowed, but it is morally GER
tain that it will be nothing pleasant
for any of the parties concerned. The
South African complication is renewed
evidence of the wisdom of our own
Chinese exclusion laws.

Politeness Past and Present.

In an editorial symposium in its last
Sundays issue, the Boston Globe asks
the question, Are American manners.
today, inferior to those of the old
school," The matter is discussed by
various gentlemen of eminence and
although some opinions tend the other
way, the weight of the answer is
strongly in the negative. One Of the
most interesting and comprehensive of
the articles is contributed by a former
Maine man. Daniel C. Linscott, who
was born in Jefferson in 1928 and grad
uated from Bowdoin in 1854, and who
has been d successful Boston lawyer
for close TO half century. Mr.. Lins-
colt is himself a splendid type OF the
always courteous and genuinely chival-
rous gentleman of the old school. He
writes as follows:

certain classes of people. or were more
people of all classes polite. half a CEN

Every man who recalls the great
leaders in the life of Boston i'll a gener-
alton that is gone will easily think of
certain gentlemen whose manners were
| expressive Of the most beautiful cour-
| tesy. 1t was courtesy that plainly
| indicated a great broad bcnevolence.
Some Of these gentlemen are remem-
bered for their splendid talents. but to
those who knew them the sweetest
| msnlGry is that Of their courtly behav-
ior that no circumstances could shake
or unSettle. I think of such men as
Henry w. Paine and Peleg W. Cham
der who sustained the best traditions
of the manners OF a gentleman.
Yet IL one turns from the memory of
these types of courtesy. it is not hard
to find among the leaders of today an
equally high standard Of personal de-
pertinent. Without mentioning names
it may be said that every example of
distinguished manners in the past gen.
Grafton can be matched by one SINH
larly distinguished in our own genera
ton. The fact is that among those
venerable men who come down to us
from a former generation we single
out the exenplarS Of fine man
ners and overlook the numerous
cases of manners no finer than our
own. For there were churls and cur
mudgeons so years ago as plentiful.
proportionately, as they are today.
Bad manners and good manners are
hardly characteristic of any age or
condition although good manners ought
to. and so frequently do, accompany
learning and cultivation. But the poor
and unlettered also have good manners.
fer they have ready and generous SYM
pathies, which. however expressed. US
ually constitute the essence of really
fine manners.
Manners may be the product of

ton that is gone. who has been the
of the good and the great.
may express in the more abundant
courtesy of his manners less the spirit
of the past than the fruit of his own
experience and reflection as maturity
has developed it.
So far as I can observe, I see little
change in manners, except that courte-
sy seems more generally diffused. even
as education has been. The forms of
politeness are commoner today than
they We're because education has given
the power t. express the spirit of con-
sideration more easily and fiuently. The

During the fiscal year which ended
June so, 1906, the tide of immigration
for the first time passed the million
i"ari and no fewer than 1,026, 499 new
corners landed on our shores. This wa
1889 more than came in the preced-
iES fiscal year. 1t would be interesting
TO have an official estimate of the
Humber who annually leave this coun-
thy for foreign lands, assuming. as in
the rough we might. that those who do
not travel first class are the offset to
those who are enumerated when COM
ing liz as immigrants. The ret gain by
tits movement of people would be the
difference between these two amounts.
The figures should be easily ascertain
aole, and il would be more satisfactory
l. the annual statements should be
grouped and classified together by the
immigration bureau. Last year the
greatest gain in immigration was in
those who came from Austria Hungary.
more than 10000 immigrants are re-
Ported to have entered the United
States during the last fiscal year who
were natives of this dual empire-the
greater number coming from Hungary
against f77.oOO who came in the pre-
vious year. Italy sent $4,000. and
Russia and Finland $4,000. In other
words, more than two-thirds of those
who came from Europe-in fact, two
thirds of our entire immigration-came
from the three countries named. The
great German empire sent us 40574.
This was a smaller number than in the
preceding year, and the decrease was
doubtless due to the improved indus
trial conditions of Germany.

Sing hey. the summers close.
We wear our gauzy garments still,
Our perforated hose.
We cling to hats of braided straw,
Although it's clean against the law.
Although the weather'S damp and raw;
Sing hey, the summers close.
The maple leaves are blazing red
Sing hey, it's coming fall;
The summer roses now are dead,
The birds are singing small.
But still II doesn't quite occur
To us to put on wool and fur
To dress by the thermometer.
Sing hey it's coming fail.
A few more days of warmth and then
Sing hey, the autumn cold.
But oh. how often foolish men
These clammy facts are told.
They go on in the same old way
Until there's just the deuce TO pay
The demon of Sciati-ca-
Sing hey, the autumn cold!
