Usefnl Rules.
DR.. Lyman Abbott, . counselor Of the
Chautauqua literary and scientific circle,
gives this sound advice to those who are
pursuing the circle this aatumn:
Make time for reading. For this pur-
pose utilize the now wasted fragments.
Have book in the dininQ-ro and read
while you are waiting for your meal: have
book in your oyerooat pocket and read
while you are riding in the horse cars TO
business. 6chliemann aid his first studying
in Greek a. . boy standing in limo 1t the
postof6oe waiting his turn for the letters.
6eoond-Learn what mot to read. Skin
the gossip and the scandal in tho daily
papers; skip the partisan editorials, which
ten you only what you thought before,
Waste NO time before the intellectual look
ing eiass. which gives gou back reelection
with the pencil in hand; mark WHAT worth
preserving and cut it 0ut. Doing this viii
1asten the item in your memory, vhether
you paste 1t In scrap book affervard or
not.

Tho Growth of Cities.

One of the most conspicuous and notable
manifestations connected with the increase
of population throughout the United States
is found in the growth of cities. In 1890,
the year in which the Federal census was
taken, there were only six cities in the
country which had a population of 5000 or
over. There were eleven in 1910. twenty
six in 1880. eighty-ive in 1850, 226 in 1870,
and 2s6 in $780, The proportion of the in
habitants of the cities to every 100 of those
for the whole country was 33 in 1890, 40
in 1910, 81 in 1885, 12.5 in lS50, 200 in 1870.
and 22.5 in 1880. One out of every thirty of
the people of the United States lived in
cities at the time of the foundation of the
government under the constitution; one
out of every twenty in 1910. one out of
every eight in 1850, one out of every five in
1870, and one out OF every four and one
half, approximately, in 1880.
The count for 1890 has not vet been
pushed far enough to reveal the proper
tomato growth OF the towns In the past
decade Sufficient figures are at hand,
however, to show that the gap between the
total OF the urban and rural population of
the country has been narrowed at least as
much in the ten years now ended as It was
in the like period Immediately preceding
There are undoubtedly nearly, If not quite,
$40 cities in the country just now having
5000 inhabitants or upward. twenty-five
per cent. Of the people OF the country. or
one out of every four of the whole number,
reside in cities.
This tendency. of course. is shown all
over the world. but it is more marked and
extended here than elsewhere. In every
Industrial nation all over the globe the
cities are growing at the expense OF the ag-
ricultural localities. Everywhere through
out Christendom the drift OF population.
comparatively speaking, is from the more
thiniy to the more thickly settled districts.
The movement, too. is destined to con-
tlnue. 1t has been under way in tine older
countries for centuries, and in this country
from the date of its settlement There is
no reason to believe that it win go on until
the conditions of existence in both urban
and rural localities are changed in an inn
portant degree from those which have thus
far prevailed. Here is manifestation to
which the political economist and moral
philosopher must give attention, and to
which craftsmanship and public policy
viii be called upon to adjust themselves.
