Homes for City Working People.

Homes for City Working People.
Whatever is British must have long
and dignifed name, hence it is not
strange that the "Allotments and Small
Holdings associations" of England mean
something much better than at first
sound one might suppose. In fact, the
association with the long name seems to
be one of the best plans yet devised to
give comfortable homes in the country
to city working people. The plan is ex--
planned by Sydney Evershed in The New
Review.
He purchases tract Of land within Q
few miles Of a large city. He divides it
into streets and squares, and also divides
each acre into plots of quarter acre.
On each quarter acre he erects Q working
mans cottage at q cost of about $3.50.
The cottages are built in pairs, making
one central wall do for two, forthe sake Of
cheapness in construction. 1t is the same
idea as that of the blocks Of houses In
cities, except that here there arc only
two houses together.
Each cottager will thus possess house
to himself and garden where all the
vegetables he needs can be grown, and
where he can gain health and recreation
which will renew him day by day for
his city toll. The feature absolutely
unique in the plan is this: The working
man will pay no car fare to or from his
place of business in the city. That will
be included in his rent The owner Of
the cottages contracts with the railway
to transport his tenants yearly at 50
much, and he himself pays the sum
from the money paid him by his tenants.
When the tenant can afford IL, he ia al,
lowed to purchase his home at cost.
The cottages are we'll built, have three
bedrooms and an ample water supply,
the ground is fenced and properly
drained. Mr.. Evershed believes he can
give all these advantages to working
men, including the free pass, for a rent
| of about $1.25 per week, and still cleal
II to per cent. on the money invested
That is twice Us much as many investors
In New York are receiving now. They
are willing to take even . per cent, vel
secured. Mr.. Evershed's plan is in nc
sense charity. 1t is simply humane
Nineteenth century effort to feed and
shelter those who do the worlds work al
well as pigs and horses are fed and shel
tered.
Unless something of this kind is done
unless homes In the country are provided
in which for working men to rear thei
families, the race will deteriorate rapid
ly. The deterioration Is seen alread,
painfully in the pale faces and dwarfed
stunted limbs and bodies of the aacnnl
and third generations of city born an,
bred working people. Crowding in tene
ment houses is a sin against nature
which will in time destroy large mum
bers of our population.

Claiming Niagara.

A meeting of the directors and stock
holders of the Niagara Hydraulic Flee
trio Company was held at Alexandria,
Va, Friday, for the purpose Of receiv-
ing reports in regard to plans for the
utilization Of the water power at Mag
ara Falls. 1t is stated that the company
has secured from the Ontario gonern-
mcnt the right to use the water at the
Horseshoe Fall on the Canadian side.
and that they intend to secure their
power by tunnelling through the rocks
to the bed of the river, thereby obviat-
ing danger from ice and wreckage, and
also leaving undisfigured the beauty of
the scenery.
The company proposes, with the pow
er secured, to furnish light, power and
heat to various points within radious
of forty miles. 1t also intends to build
electric railways to Buffalo, Ilockport,
Clifton Hamilton and other places
Work, it is said, will commence this
month, aud that a syndicate Of Ameri-
can and Canadian capitalists has been
formed to furnish the money. Another
meeting of the stockholders will be held
in New York on Tuesday next.

Never in the history of the county of
Augusta has such spread destruc-
ton of crops been witnessed as the pres
ent rainy season brought about. Thous-
ands of tons of hay are lying in the
field, either spread over the ground as
the mower left it or shocked up totally
rotten. Thousands of bushels Of wheat
are standing in the field in the shock,
growing green. The steam threshers
have been set for two weeks at one
place. The oats crop, the finest for many
years, will be an almost failure; some
cut down, some still standing and so
ripe and weather-beaten, that it is diff
cult to handle it without Smelling the
grain out. If a speedy change does not
soon take place in the weather, it will be
impossible for farmers to meet their fer
tilizer notes or get seed for new crop.

Our Rival in the Wheat Market.

The State department has received an
exhaustive report upon Russian agricul-
tural and cereal trade from Charlton H.
Way, United States Consul-General to
st. Petersburg. He says the export of
cereals from Russia in the past two years
shows an abnormal increase due to three
causes: First, the enormous crop gath
cred from both the black lands and the
Arabic prairies; second, the depreciation
of the paper ruble; and, third, the fool
lsh practice of systems of Corners in
the United States
THE arabic lands of Russia, in Eu-
rope" Mr.. Way says, '.includng Poland,
cover an area Of $50, coo square miles
The wheat grower Of Kansas and Dako-
TIA will see at a glace the area of that
fertile territory which. with the cheap
labor OF Russia, will always prove to be
formidable rival, and the merchants of
Chicago and New York, who imagine by
cornei'ing wheat they will control the
markets of the world. can always take
into their calculations the product Of
this country as an effectual check to their
operation. Eevery corner engineered in
the United States makes an opportunity
for Russia. Not one dollar is added TO
the wealth OF America, but exports from
our country being stopped, Russia steps
IN and gets rid of her surplus at remu-
nerative prices, but still far below the
prohibitive values established ia Chica-
go and New York As long as Russia
exists, any attempt to force the western
nations of Europe to pay artificial prices
for American grain can but result in alb
solute failure. Perhaps, if this fact were
known, corners would become rare and
infrequent."

The Indian Plourb

There is one institution in India which
the hand of the reformer has so far
spared. Whether the native plough, in
its present form, has been handed down
from generation to generation for 1000
years may, perhaps, be open to oues-
ton. A Calcutta paper makes that
claim on behalf of the venerable instru
ment, to which it assigns equal longcvi-
ty with the Vedas and the Darshanas.
Whatever may have been the exact date
oil its creation, it is unqucstionably
very "ancicnt monument" Ono ONLY
has TO look at it to recognize, an tiquity
IN every feature. But it possesses more
material claims on the affections of the
ryots. 1t is very cheap, can be repaired
by the owner and does its work with
reasonable efficiency. True, the fur
rows it makes look like scratches to the
European Agricultural But the soil of
India seems to prefer being scratched;
very little earth and great deal
of water are all that the sun re-
quiros to work upon for tho pro-
duction of beautiful drops. During re-
recent years number of special ploughs
of European design and manufacture
have entered the field against the ancient
appliance. But it holds its own stoutly
against these pushing rivals, and we
predict that long after their very names
are forgotten it will be helping tens of
millions to earn living. After all, tho
ryot is wiso in his conser vatism. Wcdo
not suppose that he considers his plough
quite an ideal implement, but it better
suits his requirements, economical and
physical, than any other that he has
seen, and SO he sticks to it as faithful.
If somewhat decrepit, old friend, He
might go farther and fare worse; it will
be time enough to adopt European
ploughs when thoy have proved their
! superiority bv roducino lar9nr nro,aa

Colonel Forsyth, one of the Leading
raisin producers of tho United States,
has just returned from careful inspcc-
ton of all the raisin-growing districts
of the Continent, and says that Ameri-
can raisins, in addition to supplying tho
American market, are destined soon to
take large share of the London bust
ness. He says the phylloxcra is con-
stantly diminishing the best crops of
Spain in an increasing degree, and that
even if they should now get remedy
for it, which is not probable, it will be
five years before the Malaga district can
recover its former position. A heavy
consignment of California raisins has
been disposed of IN London this season,
being the first shipment of the kind on

extent that they broke loose, and leapt
over the barriers among the terrified
