DECREASE OF RURAL P0PULA.

A Qaesr state Of Filings Emphasized
by the Last Census.
When the Constitution Of the
United States was adopted only in
every so of the people who ordained
and established it were residents OF
cities or towns haring 5000 irhab-
itants Or upward. There were but
six such places in the entire country.
San Francisco, not founded until 60
years after, and 1000 miles west Of
the then western boundary, has mere
tran twice as many inhabitants as had
all the cities together when the census
was taken.
Few features of the nth census are
more deserving of close study than
those which show how rapidly the
United States is changing frcm an
almest purely rural to what promises
ere long to be an urban country. The
writer gives an extensive and elabor-
ate survey of the whole country. and
furnishes umerou data and statistics
in proof Of this. Speaking generally.
there tas been an absolute decrease
in the rural population Of sill tho
more dersely populated agricultural
regions of the country. 1t has been
a. general in fertile New York Is in
sterile and rock bound New England
The banks of the Mississippi, the Mis-;
souri,, the far West, California. the
South, are all represented. Regions
which differ widely in their character
istics of soil, climate, products and
occupations are included.
But the United States is not alone.
The ratio of urban to rural population
is increasing rapidly over almost all
the civilized world. In many coun-
large areas have recently ex-
the absolute loss Of rrrsi
for which many causes
are sought and assigned.
That the urban shall grow more
than the rural population is,
under present conditions, al econJ mic
necessity. The generally low prices
of agricultural products unite with
the other data to show that The sup
ply of such products is on the whole
increasing faster than population.
Improvements in agricultural ma
chinery, easy and cheap t~raI>ro.ta-
ton and an increase cf la5".rr>, al !
help to produce this Result. The
ever increasing competitor of ftr'"i-'-
made goods with the products Of tiic
landlords is another potcI.t factor.
The whole tendency of Me i4cicre
is TO draw away trun Ike
districts almost all the porn-
alton not directly engaged in Iiiling
he soil. The social and i~n:c'icctna'
attractions of city life, espcrialis for
The brighter and more ~active-T:indcd
Of the country youth, are ALL ~
Iuestionably powerful factors in
build up the cities a. the expense CT
he country districts. TIE decrease
Of rural population has been nnost
in those portions of the roLn-
nv in which cities and trw',s ire
numerous, and in which the
facilities are the bcSi.

An Active Life the Best.

Some think that Carlyle, while living the
life of a student, was all the while dying to
be something much more active. 1t is ex-
tremely likely that there We're moments in
his life when he would even have enlisted,
had a recruiting sergeant been at hand to
take advantage of his mood. But upon the
whole, we may doubt if he would have done
better for himself in any other sphere than
that he chose and to which he devoted
himself so thoroughly.
There was no lack of energy in his career,
though effectively it was not apparent.
The occasional growl which he vents against
the literary life must not be taken too scri,
ously. They merely mark the discomfort
of the natural man with the station OF
which he fancies he has long ago exhausted
all the pleasures.
AS a corrective to Carlyle on this point.
Ernest Renan may be mentioned. In his
"Recollections' he is almost superlative in
praise Of the scholars life. He would not
vary his career if he were called upon to
live it again. Yet even in him the instinct
of energy at the back of all of us led him
to express the hope that he might die a
quick, vigorous death-be shot or knocked
on the head.
Life must" we are told, "be active and
vigorous, else death is preferable to it,"
It is wholesome counsel. The Buddhist
who gradually extinguishes his activities is
not at all admirable to us.-All the Year
Round,

Misplaced Advertisements.

Alfred Waterhouse deserves cordial
thanks for the vigorous way in which he
has called attention to the inconvenience
and annoyance caused to the public by 4
large class of advertisers. Against adver-
tisement of the right kind and in the right
place no one has a word to say. 1t is of
genuine service, not only to the advertisers,
but to every class of the community. But
when we visit remote Welsh mountains
and valleys, or walk along the seashore, or
stroll in pretty country lanes, we do not
want to be confronted by great staring an
nouncements to the effect that some one is
prepared to supply us at a moderate price
with the best quality of soap or mustard or
tea.
Nor is it pleasant to see in the streets of
cities vast hoardings covered with jarring
masses of detestable colors, consisting of the
puffs of rival tradesmen and the boasts of
persons who have provided some kind of
public entertainment. Still less do we like
when we are travelling to be so confused by
advertisements that we can with difficulty
make out the name of the station at which
we may wish to alight. In these things
there ought to be order and measure, so
that people may learn how their various
a are to be supplied without being at
the same time irritated by the display of all
that is most vulgar and repulsive in the
commercial spirit.-London Graphic.

Tho Modern Daughter.

The humorous publications still keep up
the joke about the modern girls ignorance
of cooking and housekeeping, but actually
this wit has become pointless. The stand
ard of housekeeping and the science Of
cooking were never higher nor better un-
derstood than now, and it is the young
women who are stepping i'll to relieve moth
ers of long borne burdens and in fact show
them how much better they can be borne.
Said a mother the other day, and she is one
of several who has been heard recently
speaking in the same strain:
Edith is delightfully."- taking from ME
the domestic problem. l have time for ev-
erything nowadays. I've thought myself
always a capable manager, but she does
better than l ever did. She has trained our
one maid to u degree of efficiency I should
never have hoped for. She markets to bet
ter advantage and more appetizingly, and
best of all finds none of the routine a
drudgery."
Instead of failures and drones in the do
nestle hive this generation of healthy, we'll
taught girls are splendid helpful embodi-
ments of that all around development of
the Nineteenth century which permits them
to toss a salad, make q bonnet, or discuss
the tariff with equal ease.-Her Point of
View in New York Times.

Plants.

On our front porch is a clematis. Yards
of it had taken possession of the wire net
ting, but there was a piece over a foot long.
quite a distance from the support that was
only on one side of the plant and a solid
brick wall on the other. That forlorn piece
was bound to catch the netting. One even
ing l stood by the vine. There was no
breeze and i was thinking how I could
fasten the loose stem, when it began to
move of itself-slowly at first, then faster
and always toward the netting. At last it
gave a pretty good kick and the tendrils
caught just where it wanted to go, and a
little chuckle of delight seemed to go
through the leaves. Now why did it choose
the netting size so persistently and know
there was nothing to cling to on the other?
Again. a little way from the clemat;s
was a woodbine. About four feet of it had
taken possession of the netting, crowding
out a queen of the prairie rose. Perhaps
you know how this vine clings, but l pa
tiently unwound the whole length, twined
it around a pillar of the piazza without
breaking a tendril. Did it like the new
place? Not a bit! What was my astonish-
ment the next day to find the long branch
in its old place. clinging harder than ever.
you obstinate old thing" said !, you
must come off that netting and give the
place to the rose"
So I untwiIed it again, wound it round
the pillar and tied it on. 1t was several
days before it was satisfied, and looked as
if it were trying to get the better of the
stout string and the hard knots. Didn't
the woodbine show its dislike very plainly?

GONE AWAY.

There are stones on the turf where but lately
we passed
Bride loose, velvet hoofed from the road to
the sod,
Where the days solemn work earned a canter
at last,
And the Oranges trim yews gave a welcom-
ing nod.
Nothing left-gone the old merry scamper to-
day!
The lank heritage stiffened by cobbles and
chalks;
The Grange is to let, and it sleeps in decay,
With the yews all awry in the brier strewn
walks;
Trailing shrubs, tangled beds in unlimited woe:
The gray eXpanse blotted and choked by the
leaves;
The only thing moving a jackdaw or SO,
And the afternoon sun beaming faint on the
caves.
There the little face came at the window to
look
When Jim's busy shoes sounded Gathering
near,
Little face, pretty head that the brown ringlets
shook,
Till the old house was closed with the mel
lowing year.
Not any bright smile from the gloomy abode,
Nor any sweet face that the hope will descry.
Great blinds staring white on the flint crested
road,
And jim sidles past with a tear in his eye.

Thoy We're All Drowned.

An0y were XII DfONneO.
Manager Mate" Salisbury says that when
he was last across the pond he put "n for a
day in IN Irish town. lie was lingering
over a cigar in a smoking room at his hotel
"a room at the Jack of the building and
overlooking a canal-when he noticed an
other occupant of the place. The reason
for noticing him was the other fellows tier
alton of the phrase. And there were thir-
teen av thin drowned, and me own brother
amang thim." This soliloauist was a ma
tive, a man in middle LIE, who made his
remarks at ten minute intervals, gazing
sadly out upon the canal meanwhile. AT
last he could no longer contain the infor-
nation that he was almost peristiingt to i'm
part, and turning to Mr.. Salisbury he said:
"'Twas a sad accident they had here, sure,
two years ago come the l4th of mkt Sep
TENDER, and me own brother amang thin"
"How was that ?" asked Mr.. Salisbury,
willing to be sympathetic.
well, ye see, it was loike this: There
did be a coachin party start that marnin-
thirteen people, and me own brother amang
thim-and they set off in grand sthyle, but
whin they got to the bridge ye see beyant,
forninst tn lock, the bridge broke and they
fell trough, the whole thirteen, me own
brother wan av thin. There was little
wather in the canal jist at the tonne, but
the whole crowd got a %loundering in tn
mud, whin the lock keeper opened the gates
and let in a power av wather. and that
finished the whole thirteen, and me own
brother amang Thin"

Economical Celery Soup.

Many families of small means look upon
celery as a luxury. The greenish half
blanched stalks of the cheap bunch really
are not very good eating, and the fine,
white large crisp bunch costs too much for
the workingman's everyday dinner. But
there is an economical way of treating the
large bunch of best celery which makes it
cheap. Use the finer portions of the crisp
stalks as a relish. All the tough portions
and the root carefully cleaned are to be cut
fine, covered with cold water and cooked
slowly till nearly the whole can be rubbed
through a strainer. Half an hour before
dinner heat this liquid celery with an equal
quantity of any kind of meat broth you
happen to have in the house, and then add
n pint of hot milk thickened like u white
sauce, with two tablespoonful each of but
ter and -four cooked together. Season with
salt. If you have no broth after your soup
is in the tureen stir into it slowly and
smoothly the well beaten yolk of an egg,
and you will not miss ut all the richness of
the meat.-New York Press.

Time That Men Waste.

Talking of dudes,'' said Richard Gray
son at the Lindell, did you ever consider
how much time a man expends to keep
himself presentable? A man with any
beard at all must shave at least three times
a week. That means IL waste of ten hours
a month or twelve good working days in
the year. Fifteen minutes u day at the
bootblack stand will knock nearly ten more
working days out of the year. Now figure
up the time spent tying his cravat, fishing
collar buttons from under the dresser and
in various other ways pertaining to the
general 'getup' Of a man, not of fashion,
but of affairs. and you will find that he
sacrifices at least one working month in
the year to his personal appearance. But
it pays. Only the man who has his reputa-
ton or his pile made can afford to neglect
these little tributes of respect to the opinion
of his fellow men-and women. st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

G. Z. G0wr0n, of the firm Of f. X. Fulton

the "rumpus" was all ABOUT which the In.

bonds sold by Messrs. Fulton Il Co. to the
state board Of university and school lands,
made the following statement which very

First OF all let me say that this Office is
perfectly willing that a committee or any
one else should investigate our dealings
