The point is that, if on the highly valâ€" uable lands of the old country so many sheep can be maintained at a profit, it stands to reason that Ontario could better afford to approach their example than otherwise.

The extraordinary growth of sheep raising is seen from a few figures. In 1792 there were only 105 sheep in the country. In 1800 there were about 6,â€" 000; in 1810 about 33,000; in 1821, about 200,000, and in 1842 over 6,000,000. Toâ€" day they are the true Golden Fleece of Australia.

Some were landed but died. Gov. Philip blamed the rank grass.

Time and again Chief Croker has protested against the phyâ€" sical unfitness of many of the men who have got by the civil service exâ€" aminers and the surgeons. The introduction of the high presâ€" sure water system within the last year is an additional reason for deâ€" manding more powerful men. When the gauge shows a hundred pounds pressure to the square inch at the nozzle it takes four or five men to keep the hose line steady; and a hose line that gets away is a devil unchained. Just now the high pressure area exâ€" tends only from Chambers street to Iwentyâ€"third street, but it is to be exâ€" tended to all the closely built parts of the city. As it spreads the need of abler bodied men will increase proporâ€" tionately, not only because high presâ€" sure lines are harder to handle, but also because fewer companies will be called out on each alarm and there will be more work for each man to do. Firemen regard this recent action of the State «Civil Service Commission as a concession to professional opinion, but it is only a partial concession. Profesâ€" sional opinion has demanded a great deal as under the present system of promoâ€" tion men who y reason of experience in the department are particularly well fitted by advancement are outclassed by the younger men, with whom they are unable successfully to compete *n exâ€" aminations as at present oondnu, and Chief George Farrell, master of the school of instruction and philosopher in general of the department, expressâ€" ed the common judgment of the serâ€" vice when some one asked him if a good little man wasn‘t all right. _ 1t is the judgment of another chief after twentyâ€"eight years of experience in fire fighting that, other things beâ€" ing equal, efficiency increases with height and weight up to about 5 feet 104. Lately the pension list has begun to give emphasis to Chief Croker‘s arguments. Look over the roll and you will find an increasing number of comparatively young men retired on about $400 a year for disabilities not incurred in the line of duty, That means usually that a narrow chested man has collapsed under the strain of ordinary fire fighting and has been laid on the shelf with oneâ€"third pay instead of the half pay that is the lawful due of every fireman who reâ€" tires after twenty years or more of service. The wear and tear on a fireman is terrific. Take the single item of lost and broken sleep. _ A continuous night‘s rest is a thing almost unâ€" known. The arrangement of the wire cireuits is such that the gong will ring many times when some of the companies which it awakens do not respond to the alarm. _ Unless the new recruit can learn to take his sleep in instalments he is doomed to failure Chief Farrell ought to know. He has trained more than half of the deâ€" partment @s it exists toâ€"day and has studied them man by man. ‘"After that," said he, "there is too much of them above the waistline, and they are likely to break amidâ€" ships." _ _ m o oâ€"®h Then there are long days and nights of battle when bedtime and mealtime never come at all, times when the water freezes over rubber coats and boots and helmets till their wearers are clad in garments of ise, times when for hours together men must breathe smoke and gas till throat and lungs and stomach are inflamed and their heads feel as if they were clampâ€" ed in jackscrews. _ No wonder then that the man of frail timber weakens. No wonder that Croker keeps calling for stout ribs and strong limbs as well as brave hearts. As soon as it strikes the floor it beâ€" gins to thresh and writhe like a glant snake and the nozzle flies back with a kick that may easily kill a man if it hita him in the head. So far, through good luck, it never has actually struck a fireman dead, but it has broken many a leg and many a shoulder, and there is one skull pieced out with a silver plate in the place where it landed. a few days ago when word came from Albany that hereafter bigger men must be found for appointment to the uniformed force,. The State Civil Serâ€" vice Commission decreed that no man under 5 feet 8 inches or lighter than 140 pounds would be eligible, thus adding an inch to the required staâ€" ture and five pounds to the weight. _ *"Yes," he answered, " a good little man is all right, but a good big man is just so much better.‘ ‘Ce (N.
