SHEPHERDS ON STILLS.

They Mount Them from the Roof OF q
Cabin and Use Them All Day.
The Landes. the great savanna of
France. which stretches from Bordeaux
to Rayonne, is a region similar to the
Bad Lands of our own country. Many
vain attempts were made to induce trees
to grow upon it. At last one M. Bre-
monitor conceived the idea of planting,
with the pine seeds, the seeds of the
common broom, whose hardy tuft should
protect the tiny sapling until it could
stand by itself.
The result surpassed hope; pine for
ests have sprung up and endured
throughout the Landes; they have
broken forever the power of the wind
storms, and their pitch and timber are
even a source of some riches to the de-
partment.
There is one striking speciality of this
district, writes Mr.. Edwin Asa Dix.
This is the shepherd on stills, the
Xicanque, immortalized by Rosa Bon
heur, and mentioned by many travellers.
He is peculiar to this region. Perched
on these wooden supports, at perilous
height above the ground, he stalks
gravely over the landscape, enabled to
behold an horizon of triple range, and
to outstride the fieetest of his vagrant
flock. When SO inclined, he is quite
able, it is said, to execute a pas soul, or
even jig with every appropriate flour
ish of his timber limbs, and with sur
prising grace and abandon.
His stills are strapped to the thighs,
not the knees, for greater freedom, and
he mounts from his cabin roof in the
early morning, and lives in the air
throughout the day. A third silt forms
his seat and makes of his silhoutte
ludicrous and majestic tripod.
This genius chief amusement is
startlingly domestic; it is knitting
stockings, and engaged in this peace
full art, he sits with dignity and whites
away the hours. How he maneuvers
when he accidentally drops needle,
have not been able to learn.
A dignitary of Bordeaux arranged n
fete and procession in the Landes on
one occasion. Triumphal arches were
erected, hung with flowers and gar
lands, and the feature of the parade
was a sedate platoon of these heron
like shepherds, dressed in skins. decked
with white hoods and mantles, pre-
ceded by a band of music, and stalking
by tours iInposingly down the line Of
march.-N. Y. Journal.

Where Land is Dear, Men are Cheap.

In the new settlements, where land is
cheap, you will find no beggars, and
the inequalities in condition are very
slight. In the great cities, where land
is so valuable that it is measured by tho
foot, you will find the extremes of pow
erty and of luxury. And this disparity
in condition between the two extremes
of the social scale may always be meas
ured by the price of land. Land in New
York is more valuable than in San
Francisco; and in New York, the San
Franciscan may see squalor and misery
that will make him stand aghast. Land
is more valuable in London than in
New York; and in London, there is
squalor and restitution worse than that
of New York-Progress and Poverty

State Ownership of Land.

James A. Bradley, the founder of AS
bury Park, is going to sell the whole Of
the beach there to the town for $50, 900.
He says he could have obtained larger
sum for it, but he accepted Henry
Georges theory and wants the town to
become the owner of the property. He
does not, however, intend to sell the
rest of his land; as he can not become a
martyr to the cause and undertake, all
alone, to inaugurate the progress of
transferring land to the State, though
he thinks the State ought to own the
land If Mr.. Bradley understood tho
Single Tax theory fully he would And
that individual action in the line inds-
Gated is not required and that it is not
necessary or even desirable that the
State shall Gown" the land. The George
theory contemplates permanent private
possession, conditioned on the payment
to the State of the value of the oppor.
tunity thus held by an individual. Tha
best thing that a man like Mr.. Bradley
can do is to use any surplus income he
derives from 1and-holding toward aid
ing the movement that will give to the
public the income derived from land.

A Single Tax Assessor.

The Democrats of Binghamton have
nominated John H. Blakeney for city
assessor. Mr.. Blakeney is a we'll
known single tax man, and if elected
he will doubtless go as far toward as
sessing vacant land at its true value as
the law and public opinion will permit.

A CIVILIZATION which tends to con-
centrate wealth and power in the hands
of fortunate few, and to make of
others mere human machines, must in
evitably evolve anarchy and bring de-
struction. But civilization is possible
in which the poorest could have all the
comforts and conveniences now enjoyed
by the rich; in which prisons and aims
houses would be needless, and chart
