Washington Dec. 1.-THE immigration
TO America during the year ended June
30, 1907 was greater than in any previous
year, according to the annual report of
Frank 7. Sargent, commissioner general
of immigration and naturalization, which
was made public to-day. The number of
immigrants to arrive was |, 80 $40 exceed
ing the number for 1906 by lS4.Gl4 and
that for the year 1908 by 25S. SO or an in
crease OF over the year 1906 for more
than II per cent. and over the year 1906
Of more than o per cent. During the
fiscal year 1906. 12,432 aliens were reject, d
at our ports and during the past year
13o6i, an increase of $50. OF peculiar
significance is the table which shows
the number of immigrants from each
foreign country. together with the in
crcases or decreases as compared with
the previous year Tw"nty-scvon coun-
tries showed Increases and eleven de
creascs. The tide of immigration from
some of the countries is indicated by the
following figures:
Austria Hungary 33S,452 increase 1894;
Bulgaria, Seryia and Montenegro 1859,
German empire 37,So7. increase 2i3; Greece

While the exclusion laws have render

significant, too. because it comes in the

sioner Sargent presents excerpts from

THE BLOOMS OF LONG AGO.

love the blooms of long ago,
The blooms my mother knew:
That by the paths her footsteps trod
And in her garden grew.
The vines she trained Ger porch and
wall
Are hallowed by her care;
And though another grander be,
To me it's not so fair.
The dear old flowers bring memories
Of childhood's mystic cline,
Where all of life a rhythm sweet
Ran to the steps OF time.
l love the blooms of long ago,
Their fragrant-haunted nook
Fer takes me back to castles fair,
That long since I forsook.
Again 1 dream beneath the shades,
AS in the long ago:
Chase butterflies. just as of yore,
Where olden blossoms blow.
1 love the blooms of long ago,
For what is fairest flower
If in its heart abideth not
This strange and subtle power?
If it wake not the mystic chorus
On Memory's harp asleep,
That fill the soul with music old
And stir emotions deep?
1 love the blooms of long ago:
The blooms my mother knew
Whose brightness gemmed her hallowed
ways
AS sunshine gems the dew.

were confirmed by William and Mary,
but the house of commons declined to
ratify the articles relating to the Ro-
man Catholic form of worship. Liner
lex has ever since been called THE
City of the Violated Treaty"
The stone on which the treaty was
signed is one of the sights of Liner
lex. 1t is a rough, oblong block of
limestone, wider at one end than at the
other. 1t rests on limestone pedestal
about ten feet high. On one side is the
following inscription: 1.-THE treaty of
Limerick, signed A D. 1891" The VIC
lation Of this treaty gave rise to a very
solemn joke: Why is the treaty of
Limerick like an eaten plum? Because
all that remains is the stone.
The industries of the city are bacon
curing, milling, manufacture of army
clothing of lace, and of condensed
milk. Fifty years ago the beauty of
Limerick lace was known all over the
world. 1t is still made in the Convent
of the Good Shepherd. as well as by
some lacemaking firms. The lace is so
rich in quality that it is imported to
Belgium, and from there exported at
about four times the cost.
The glory of Limerick is the river on
which it stands. The Shannon expands
into a tolerably large lake, called
Tough 4llen. A few miles further on
it spreads out into Tough Ru, forming
midway the. small lake called Tough
Elke. Then, as a broad, surging riv-
er, it flows past Athlone narrows as
it reaches Shannon harbor, and again
spreads itself into the famous Tough
Derg. From Killahoe, south of this
lake, the river ceases to be navigable,
except for small boats, until it reaches
Limerick, from which it flows majes-
tically out to sea. The banks of the
Shannon are exquisite in their beauty,
and are crowned with many ruins, an
cient and historical. The immediate
surroundings of Limerick are not very
but within easy distance
is scenery of surprising loveliness.-

AN EARLY AUTUMN BIRD.
(From St. Nicholas.

(From st. NichOlas.)
No other birds are so closely asso-
ciated with the early autumn, with the
coming of the golden rod and the as
tiers, as are the -throated spar
rows, and many nature-lovers eagerly
watch for the arrival of these fall
songsters from the north. When they
are first seen their only note, a feeble
tseep, tells little of their musical pow
er, as they seem to have an agreement
not to dash into our presence with a
song, but to wait for d week or more
after their arrival before surprising us
by display of their real ability. Many
kinds of birds are especially sociable in
the autumn, but none are more so than
the white-throated sparrows. Their
gentle companionship and plaintive
song seem especially adapted to the
dreamy days of our Indian summer
