Life In Rural England.

II have nothing to do but work and

This is the language put into the
mouth OF farmers son in letter
which came across the other day in
one of the Irish papers complaining Of
the unspeakable duilness Of life in the
rural districts. am inclined to think
1t supplies one explanation Of the
vast growth of the town population in
our days. Now that people are getting
educated, they find they cant stand the
country. They flock up to town, not
90 much to make money as to live the
life of human beings. Whether they
gain much by coming to town is mat
ter upon which there may be two opin-
ions. Personally, do not fancy that l
should like very much living in such q
place as Seven Dials, for example. But
then neither should / care to be lass

reason in the eternal illness Of things
why country life should be IS dull as It
Is. Every village in the land might
have its concert or ballroom, Its II
brary. and its gymnasium At q very
srifing cost Perhaps one Of these
days, when the country ratepayers

Landing an Ocean Telegraph Cable.

The scene on shore began to grow
lively. Quite a crowd had assembled
on the beach Some of the visitors
had come from New York, while others
had flocked from the rural districts OF
Long Island. as was evident from the
suggestion OF the village green and the
quantity Of haysced in their hair. They
seemed to regard the whole proceed
ings with gaping awe. The RATS that
carried the end OF the cable from the
small landing steamer 800 yards away
started slowly toward the shore.
Just at this moment rude Boreas
pulled out his cheeks for farewell
blast. The gale rushed across Sheaps-
head Bay as II it meant TO make clean
sweep of the sand dunes, and black
clouds laden with rain were hurried
seaward in the van of the approaching
squall. The sky was Obscured with
flying scud. The signal was given to
the men to haul away. They hauled,
but it was as much as they could do to
hold their own, and the violence Of the
wind checked for a time all further ad-
vance. The men clinched their teeth
and used every effort, but they could
not stir the RATS foot, For nearly q
quarter of IN hour they strove might
and main, but if they made any head
way it was not apparent BY and by
came the inevitable lull which. follows
every squall, and in this lull they hauled
ahead to some purpose. Another haw-
ser was fastened to the leading raft,
and number of the visitors tailed on
10 the shore end of it and tried to give
:he sailors a helping hand. 1t was
timely aid generously rendered. TWEEN

songs. or "chanteys,' as the sailors
call them, which is probably heritage
from the crew Of Noah's ark, and the
men joined in the chorus.
They nerved themselves for u final eff
fort. One prolonged haul and the first
raft grated on the sand. Another haul
and the second raft was high and dry
All the men jumped ashore, many OF
them houndering about as playfully as

the concentrated essence of a hundred
cheers from as many hoarsc throats.
They had done their work, and it had
been so hard that the hearty hurrahs
followed as a matter of course. Two
locomotives added to the din by shrill
slrieks from their whistles. The Fara-
day was signaled with flags, but as she
was at anchor some five miles off the
sound OF her whistle, OF course, could
not be heard, though the puffs of steam
which issued from her pipe and could
be seen with the glass bore witness that
she, too, was treating herself to soli-

The act Of Disgusting patent medi-

something like this: "Boozine is q sure
