it is about the same thing. Yet il we
apply this difference of about one-tenth
of person to the total number of fami-
lies it accounts for a population of l.,
395, 9l7, which If added to the total
population as returned would have
brought it up to trihe over $4,000, 600
and made every one correspondingly
happy; for that was the popular estimate
Of our population. A more striking IL
lustration OF the effect of tho average
size Of family may be obtained by max
ing the comparison between 1850 aud
1890. II the size Of the family had re-
NAMED at 5.55 we would have had a
population of 70, 430, 344, and the most
buoyant of our population estimators
would have been satisfied.
The tendency to decrease in the aver
age size of family in thickly settled CON-
munities Is brought out very forcibly
when the statistics regarding the larger
cities are compared. In New York City
the average size of family has decreased
from 4.96 in 1880 to Asa in 1890,
while in Brooklyn the decrease in size Of
family has been from % to 4.72. The
average size of family for Chicago has
decreased from $40 to 4.99; for Phila-
delphia, from 5.13 to $40; for st.
Louis, from 5.3S to 492; and for Bal
timore, from sos to SOL. In Boston
there is no radical change, being 4.99 in
1880 as against 500 in 1890.
1t is safe, therefore, to assume that
with this concentration of population
will come continual decrease in the size
of family, though it is not yet clear that
the massing of families in tenement
houses, fats and hotels i'll large cities, of
late years, has brought about any reduc-
ton in the number of separate homes
for the Nation at large. On the contrary,
while the change is marked when COM
pared with 1S50-the period when the
great change from country to city life
began-the number Of dwellings during
the last decade shows a relative increase
over the returns of 1880 aud those of
1870. 1t is difficult to forecast the ulti-
mate effect of converting some of our
once agricultural States into success
sion of towns and villages, and OF di-
viding equally into urban and rural the
population Of what were once the prairie
States. 1t puts the United States
ahead of all other countries in the world
as manufacturing and industrial Nation.
1t cannot we'll lessen its importance as
an exporting agricultural Nation except
ing so far as the increase of the urban
population increases the demand at home
for agricultural products. There Is moth
ing indicative In the agricultural re-
turns. That the products of the fields
have not kept pace during the past ten
years with the products OF the shops and
mines. Agriculture has been diversified,
and in every direction extended and
strengthened in precisely the same way
as manufactures. While the agriculturist,
in his anxiety to build houses, barns and
fences, has drawn too heavily on the
future in some States, and while the ten
dency to increase tenant farming is
noticeable ia other SrateS, he is still,
upon the whole, prosperous aud prosper

ALL the old Generals who are alive are
expected to be at the National Enesmpment
to meet and greet their old "boys." It Is
expected that the pleasautest part OF the
National Encampment will be the informal
talks about the corps and brigade head
quarters by little groups, who will gather
around some favcrite officer or comrade, and
60 over old times with him. IF the weather
is pleasant there will be any number OF
these delightful gatherings There is an
abundance Of trees and shrubbery around
Grand Army Place, and each of these will
be the nucleus of little band of wartime
friends.

FARMERS, ATTENTION I!
A SPLENDID PAPER VERY CHEAP.
The American Farmer from Now
until End of 1892 for Is Cents.

The american Farmer is the oldest agri-
cultural paper in America, having been
published ia Baltimore siEce 1919
Last Winter il raised into The hands of a
new masa gernenf, who have greatly enlarged
and improved it Iii now superb journal
of 80 large pages, with a handsome cover,
and finely illustrated. Ii is issued On the
LIST and 10 b of each month, and gives a
larger amount of better reading matter for
the money than any other agricultural paper
In the country. All the leaiinz agricultural
writers contribute to it, AID great amounts
of money are constantly being expended to
secure the best available information on all
farming matters.
The American Farmer is thoroughly nor
partisan In politics, but is a strong advocate
of protection upon every farm prD5uct which
comes into injurious competition with those
of foreign countries. 1t is particularly
earnest in its support Of the tariff CT mool
and fhe Development OF tie sneep--a:s.ng
industry OF this country until cur own
farmers viii supply every pound Of wool
and mutton t3at oar people require. 1t
devotes considerable space every Issue to
information In regard to sheep-raisinS AID
the discussion OF matters OF interest to flock
owners. Besides this It has departments
devoted 10 Dairy ting, Poultry. Bookkeeping,
Horses, Swine, GFain-growing, Stock and all
branches Of farming.
One of rs Peculiarly valuable features is
that it publishes in every issue the latest
issued maps Of the Weather Bureau, giving
the temperature and rainfall all over the
country for the previous two weeks. This
information is of the utmost importance to
every farmer in judging the probable course
of the market 1t is precisely the inforna-
ton that the grain specuiators have been
securing 1t great expense, in order to share
their operations. By means of these maps
the readers Oh The American Farmer are
given Just IS reliable information ss to the
condition Of the crops every where AZ the
spectators and operators have, and thus
are placed in exactly as good position to
judge the course of the market.
In order 10 give all the farmers of the
country an opportunity to becorse thor
oughly acquainted with the many merits Of
The American Farmer, the management has
decided to Esake the extraordinary Offer to
send the journal for the remainder of 1892
to anyone sending them % cents. This is
great opportunity TO get a vast amount o.
unusually good reading matter for an in
significant sum.

THE New York Times is disturbed by the
dissemination of some of the Democratic

Force Bill a living issue in the North, but
must come out squarely for Tariff Reform.

THE PARADE.

The difficulty of satisfactorily arranging
the details of the parade at the National
Encampment still continues, and comrades
views on the matter diverge widely. The
line of march is limited by the Rules and
Regulations to two miles, and the grave
problem is how to pass $4,000 men over this
in any reasonable time. OF course, if the
comrades could march as they did on the
Grand Review this would not be so Sc
rious. Then they formed in company or
division front, filling bread Pennsylvania
avenue from ,eurb to curb with the d.
visions closed to half-distance. 1t made a
wonderful river of marching men, all in per-
feet order, all with ranks we'll dressed, and
every man in his place and attending strictly
to his business.
But such marching was only possible
to troops who had drilled and moved
together for years. The comrades cannot
march as they did q years ago. They are
"leetle out of practice now" Following
the plows over stony fields for years have
tended to impair the military step they
acquired by long practice in Virginia and
Tennessee. Hnstling around q workshop or
store or Office have made them somewhat

Anything like 30 wide front as Is files
would mean an immense amount Of fatigue
in keeping the line in presentable shape.
The Commander-in-Ch Chief has suggested two
columns each with front of Is files,
moving On separate sides Of Pennsylvania

to keep the ranks welldressed. Some mil
itary men declare this to be impracticabIe
The matter is now being anxiously dis
cussed by the Committee on Parade aud
others. One thing all agree upon, however,
and that is that it is going to require very
fine management to move 10000 GAR. men

tervening between 10 o'clock Tuesday morn

Costly Ocean Steamers.


In ship like the Teutonic. to begin with, o
sum of about $1,000, 600 Is invested, and the
