PERILS OF THE FOLDING BED.

When the folding bed first appeared
upon the market it's merits were at once
recognized by househOlders. 1t came to
fill a modern want. namely. that of put
ting much furniture in little space. The
exigencies of modern life, especially in
cities, frequently make it necessary for
one room TO serve the purposes of two.
1t is impossible, however, to give
sleeping-rOom the appearance of par
lor while it contains bed of the ancient
four-legged and cumbrous form. With
this essential article of furniture
so built that its true character
is concealed, this difficulty was
removed. A bed that could be
stood on end when not in use and
made to resemble q decorative cabinet,
q tall chest of drawers or an elaborate
writing-desk, was felt by housewives to
be the thing they long had sought, and
it at once gained favor. 1t is true that
none save the most unsophisticated of
persons was ever deceived by the dis
guise. Everybody knew that the desk,
it professed to be, was bed and moth
ing else. but the pretense was kindly
accepted and everybody was happy.
Every body, that is to say, except nerv-
GUS and timid persons whose lot it was
to sleep in the continuance. With
them always fingered the fear that
in the silent night the then un-
folded bed on which they reposed
would close up without warning, with
themselves inside and standing on their
heads. Ridicule from the fearless and
fiippant and argument from the practical
and unimaginative might silence their
protests, but could not remove their
dread. From the very first acquaint-
ance with the folding bed these nervous
sleepers have feared calamity; their
dreams have been made hideous with
smothering sensations, and incipient ap-
oplexy has accompanied the thought of

With us, municipal Offices are the spoils
of successful politicians: in Germany they
are the prizes of successful experts. 1t

In Germany city work IS a science as far
from politics as is the science OF engineer
ing or architecture. Each salaried alder
man is responsible for a single department..
or for several closely allied parts OF
the public business. He does not
serve. as do our aldermen. on three or

the horrible possibilities contained in
that very convenient piece of furniture.
Notwithstanding all the dread. however.
and all the CHASTITY jokes of the profess
sional funny men. it is not on record
that folding bed ever folded up with
sleeper in its embrace. Never, that is to
say, until now. The event so long looked
for has at last happened. From away
out in Missouri comes the distressing
news that folding bed. hitherto HARM
less and manageable, has brought dis
credit and suspicion upon it's kind by
suddenly springing to on erect position
with two able bodied persons inside.
Fortunately, the groans of the impris-
Oned victims brought relief and rescue
in time. Although considerably fiat
tened out, their health and normal pro-
portions are likely to be restored in
time, and their case is in itself less seri-
Gus than it might be. 1t is the warning
afforded by their experience that is
likely to be far-reaching in it's effects.
People who have not been nervous be-
fore will hereafter hesitate to risk their
lives in the folding bed. Few persons,
however phlegmatic, can contemplate
calmly the prospect of finishing their
nights repose packed in an air-tight
box, head dOwnwards. The Ginevra
act in real life is one which the majority
will not care to attempt. 1t is much to
be feared that the Missouri episode will
cause the folding bed to decline in pop
ularity until it's makers can produce an
article with springs warranted to spring
only when it is unoccupied.

EMIGRATION AND Farm LANDS.

A dispatch published in the Journal
day or two ago from Bloomington. H.,
stated that an emigrant train consisting
of twenty three freight cars loaded with
household goods and farm implements,
together with two carloads of people,
had left that place for Iowa. There
were in the party 112 adults and SO chill
dren. The emigrants were farmers,
mostly from Mclean county. Illinois,
| and nearly all had purchased land in
adjoining counties in Iowa. They were
leaving Illinois on account of the high
price of farm land, and going to Iowa
because of the comparatively low price
there.
The incident is typical of what has
been going on for many years, and illus
trates the great emigration movement
by which the new States have been re-
cruited and populated from the old ones.
The nativity tables in every census re-
port show that large proportion Of tho
ADULT residents of the new States are
| natives of the older ones, showing that
| they have left their old homes, not as
some foreign emigrants DO, "for their
country's good" but for their own good
to better their own condition and lay
| the foundation for still greater i'm
prOvement in the condition of their
| children.
In the present case it is interesting to
note that prime cause In the consider
able movement of Illinois farmers to
| Iowa was the high price of land in the
| former State and the comparatively low
! price il the latter. This means that
those who owned land in Illinois could
| sell at such prices as would enable them
to buy considerably larger body of
land in Iowa, while the young farmers
who had been saving money with which
to buy land preferred to go where they
could get the largest amount. So far as
| churches, schools, roads, society and
rifice in going from Illinois to Iowa, the
latter State being in all these respects
fully equal to the former.
There is reason to believe that the
next few years will witness great deal
| of emigration from the older to the new
States for the cause above stated
There IS distinct upward movement in
| the price of farm lands in all of the
older States. meaning thereby such
| States as Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, as
compared with Iowa, Kansas Nebraska,
etc. This has been going on for nearly
two years past. Good farm lands in
this State are worth several dollars per
acre more than they were two years
ago, and are still advancing. The ad-
vance has not been rapid, but gradual
and steady. 1t is not boom in real es-
tate, but healthy, natural movement.
! 1t shows that farm lands are finding
their proper level and true market
value. The movement will extend
gradually westward, until in few years
farm lands in Iowa, Kansas and other
comparatively new States will be found
to be advancing. The reason is found
in the improving prospects of agricult-
ure. The era of depression in that
great interest seems 20 have come to an
end. and all indications point to it's
steady improvement and lasting pros
perity. Now is good time to invest in
farm lands. They will never be cheaper.
