ACCORDING to the last census there
are So, 163 lawyers in the United States,
who receive $50, 100000 every year in
fees. That would give an average
professional income of about 81, 100 to
every lawyer; from which it would ap,
pear that the law is still one of the
best paying professions, if it were not
for the fact that the unequal division
of the sum total gives to about two
thirds of the whole number hardly
enough to pay laundry bills for
cleansing their consciences.

Rural DepopuIation.

| The Hospital reports certain state
ments made at a meeting of the Royal
Statistical society in regard to the
rate of rural depopulation in different
countries. The phenomenon appeared
in Wales as long ago as 1851 and in
England ten years later. The decrease
: in rural population is more marked in
Scotland than in England. and in Ire
/ land it has been severe since the time
of famine. The French and Irish birth
rates are equally low (?), though the
marriage rates differ greatly, owing to
the peculiar age distribution prevalent
in Ireland as a result of emf grafton.
Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Norway
| all exhibit the same phenomenon. The
facts quoted are claimed to prove that
not only is the disproportionate growth
versal prevalence, but that an actual
diminution of the rural population has
occurred in the greater part of Europe,
,, in North America, and even in Aus
tralia. The author of the paper,
DR.. G. 3. Longstaff, holds that
there is general and increas-
ing aversion to country life, and
that the general result cannot be
chiefly due to causes of only local oc-
currence, such as government, land
laws and the like.
The principal cause of the tendency
to decrease in the population per acre
of rural areas already occupied has
been pointed out in the Chicago Trib-
une, in answer to complaints made in
this country that the fact was due to
impoverishment of the farming classes
The truth is that the introduction of
labor saving machinery and other APP
pliances has much reduced the amount
of manual labor it is necessary to en-
ploy on a given area for its cultivation.
In the United States there has been a
great change in this respect within the
last thirty years. The same is true of
England, and if it be less so for some
other countries named it must be re-
membered that they are affected by
the competition of the grain-producing
areas in which the human labor ele-
ment in production is reduced to the
minimum. There nay have been some
desertion of farrns in the eastern
states, but even there the percentage
is small, while the number of farms in
England which now have no tenants is
said to be rather large proportion of
the whole. Taken all together the
rural districts may tend to relative de-
population, but it is in hired workers,
not in the number Of those who live
on the soil as owners or renters.
