party to Vermont in the face of the mis-
representations of the agents of the
Western companies and the attacks OF
the press which these agents had the
money to control.
The circumstances attending the com.
ing of the immigrants ought to be well
understood. They need not be rehearsed
at this time. Governor Dillingham; has
recently accompanied Commissioner Val.
entine on tour of inspection of the
colonies. He has seen the Swedes on
the farms they have bought, talked with
them through their interpreter observed
their qualities as farmers, as men and
women, as material for prospective citi-
zens. The terms of satisfaction in
which he speaks of what he saw at Will
mington and Weston are full of hope,
and scarcely without qualification in
commencing the Swcde and approving
the course of the commissioner The
Swede is happy, contented, enthusiastic
amid his new surroundings, and inspired
by his prospects, to male efforts for a
competence and independence such as
he never put forth in the country of his
birth Morally, intellectually and phys
ically the Swedc is a desirable acquisi-
ton. 1t is difficult to say which is the
more pleased, the immigrants with Yer
mont and the treatment they have re-
ceived from Vermont people, or their
neighbors with the thrift, industry and
ready adaptability of the new comers.
The experiment is a success The Swedes
already here are sending back good re-
ports of country and people, and money
to bring here relatives that were before
unwilling or unprepared to come. The
governor has become a thorough believer
in the fact of the necessity for doing
something to repeople the abandoned
farms, and convert to the scheme OF
Commissioner Valentine as one entirely
desirable and feasible means IT0tch-
man.

WHERE SHALL Sue RECEIVE HIM ?

One of my girls is busy all day long
busy in the shop, or perhaps the count
ing house or studio When evening
comes she goes to what you call home,
freshens herself up bit, eats her dinner,
and then she waits for him to come.
Home to her, Just now, means hall bed
room in which there is tiny folding
bed one or two chairs, bureau and
wash-stand. AT home she has been
taught that her bedroom was a sacred
place into which no man shall enter. In
the same house with her are many more
girls placed exactly as she is, and they
laugh at her timidity about seeing a
young man in her room. Sometimes the
laughter has its effect, and she plunges
in boldly and asks him to come up to
her little haven of rest. She thinks this
is better than going out with him and
taking a walk. But every now and then
she sits down and wonders if she is doing
right, and if she isn't, what she ought to
do. She is girl just like yours and
mine and she is brave one because she
has faced the world honorably and taken
care of herself. She is a healthy girl,
mentally and physically, and it is right
that She should wish to keep her men
| friends and have pleasant time with
| them. This seems the solution of the
question. Let her make her little nest
as pretty as possible, put the books that
she has saved money to buy on top OF the
mantel that hides under it her bed. The
photographs of those she loves may
decorate the little table, and on the
bureau all the belongings that wo-
wanly girl collects may be put here and
there, wherever it seems best. A tiny
screen NAV be folded closely about the
washstand, and then let it not be a ques-
ton of one hostess, but of two, for let
her ask the girl who thinks as she does
to come down, and let her entertain her
friends. It's true that this may make a
bit of q crowd in the room; it true that
some of the visits may be shortened be-
cause of the crowd, but when a visitor
goes away with the feeling that he re-
grets that the time has been so short he
is very apt to come soon again. If you
like, make one or two evenings in the
week when you and your friends are to
be at home. in the little hall room, and
you will be surprised to find, bright girls
as you are, how popular you will make
your little evenings, and how you will
Impress upon the minds of the special
man what good home-maker you are,
do not believe that the girls who see
one man alone in their own rooms are
anything but thoughtless, but the wise
girl is the one who learns that beside
her own pure heart, the best protection
she can have against disagreeable re
marks about thoughtless behavior is
woman friend who thinks like her anC
who is equally anxious, while having
good time, TO keep her name free from
reproach.-Lddies Home Journal.

REASONS WHY THERE HAS BEEN A
DECLINE IN THE RURAL POPULA-

TION.
The census which has just been taken
reveals an almost uniform falling off in
population throughout the older farm
ing sections of Maine, notably i'll Waldo
county, where it amounts to from 10 to
10 per cent. In the best and most acces-
sible farming sections the falling of,
however, has been but little, the great
est loss being in the more remote towns
and on the rough and less desirable
lands. Hon. b. A. Gilbert, Secretary of
the State Board of Agriculture, we'll
known as one of the most intelligent and
progressive farmers in the State, speak
ing concerning this decline in pOpula-
ton, which also necessarily involves the
question of abandoned farms, says:
"People leave the rural towns chiefly,
and am quite sure l might say solely,
for the reason that they entertain the
idea that they will be better off finan-
cially. 1t will be found that the deser-
ton of farming towns is almost wholly,
not quite, by three classes: Mechanics in
considerable numbers formally occupied
small farms and supplied portion of
their wants from the soil. Nearly all
have left for the city or larger towns.

blacksmith, and much of the country
work of his kind is now done in the city.
Farmers all have to go to town to get
their boots tapped. These little home
steads are not now wanted for the rea-
son that there is not income enough
from them. So the houses are empty or
have been torn down and the land at
tached to the adjoining town. At any
rate, the population is not there. Men
of limited means, occupying small farms
leave them because they can earn more
money away than they can realize from
their farms under the reign of the pres
ent low prices. A small farm is good
place to live, but there is but little net
income from it. | can go out at any
time and hire man and his wife right
off a pretty good farm of their own, be-
cause net wages count up more than net
profits from a small farm. So this small
farmer leaves the country towns and is
so much the less. Young men 60 to the
towns to seek the employment open to
them. There is still some emigration to
the West. Men of means go there from
city and country alike, but young men
60 from the farms on the glittering re-
presentation that there are to be found
greater opportunities for success than
are open to them in country town
