The French, as Rule. Look Upon the
Bright Side of Life.
1t is generally conceded that the
happiest people on earth as a whole,
are the French. They are happy, be-
cause they are contented, and one con
spicuous reason why they are contented
is because the great mass of them live
in their own homes. Not more than 80
per cent. of the French people rent
the quarters they live in. They are,
indeed, the best sheltered people in the
world. Though there are only 3s,000,-
900 of them they have 100000 dwell
lighthouses. This, as will readily be
seen, provides a house for every 4 20
persons, another exhibition of French
thrift In America, in 1890, there We're
5.45 persons to every dwelling, forty
years before, or in 1850, 5.94, or near
ly Six~%epple to every dwelling, and
yet in France the population is much
more dense than in this country. There
are on an average 1877 people to each
square mile, while in the United States
there are but 81, and in the North
Atlantic states only 107 to the square
mile. In the United States, in 1890,
only 47.5 of the farms and houses al
together were owned by the occupants,
the remaining 52.5 per cent. being oc-
cupied by tenants and those occupying
the same at rental. Of the homes in
American cities and villages $50 per
cent. are rented houses. Cincinnati

FARM AND GARDEN.
ELECTRICAL PROGRESS.
IL IL Expected to Make Life on Farms
Less Iaborious.

IL IL Expected to Make Life on Farms
Less Laborious.
Part of the growing difficulties oc-
rasioned by the desertion of the coun-
try and the crowding of the cities will
be remedied, perhaps, by six years
hence-in that wonderful year 1901,
which electricians set as a mile post
of human progress-by the browning
of steam's rival. Machinery is rapidly
taking the deadening drudgery out Of
farm work, is making it more profit,
able when conducted scientifically
and on large scale, and is causing it
to attract the attention of city people
who long for the healthful fields
Only the bodily discomforts of farm
work have prevented an exodus from
the cities to the country. Already
electricity is turning its attention to
the long-neglected farm work and has
discovered profitable results to be had
by subjecting crops to currents Of
electricity. 1t is beginning to simplify
the ponderous farm machinery, and
as soon as the storage battery has re-
ceived its finishing touches and can
be applied to tightening the farmers
toll and increasing his profits, the
farmer will be looked upon with envy
by the prisoners of city streets
and counting house walls. Those par
ticular effects of electricity upon farm
machinery and farm life are. how
ever, visible chiefly in the Imagination
at present, and are not at all likely to
be realized in six years; but one great
change may be looked for in this di-
rection in the immediate future; and
that is the improvement of the farm
er's condition by means of good roads
and the rapid transit which electricity
as almost ready to bring, thus greatly
enlarging his market and bringing
him higher prices for fresher products,
and also bringing him closer to the
life and pleasure and stimulating eff
feet of the city. There is to be a
wonderful change in farm life in the
more thiclzly-settled parts of the coun-
try in few years, and rapid transit
will be largely responsible for it.
The cheap transmission of electrical
power must bring soon many changes
that will be felt in the city household
and perhaps the chief of them will be
the abolition of the cook stove, as it is
known at present The small electric
heater has already begun to take it's
place, and it is almost certain that
sven in six years coal will be banished
from majority of the kitchens in
cities adjacent to water power, from

FRANKING IN ENGLAND.
How Old-Time Members of Parliament
Sent Their Mail Free.

Sent Their Mail Free.
Franlling was one of the privileges
of a member of parliament who might
have his letters delivered, and had the
right to dispatch them free of charge.
Mr., Hyde, in The Royal Mail, says:
Before the year 1864 mem bers of par
lament had merely to write their
names on the covers to insure their cor
| respondence free passage through the
post, and packets of such franks were
furnished by members to their friends,
who laid them past for use as occasion
| required. Nay, more, trade was car
| ried on in franks by the servants Of
members, whose practice it was to ask
their masters to sign them in great
numbers at time.
at was even suspected, and probably
with sufficient reason, that franks
| were forged to a large extent. and, had
postage been paid on all franlled CORE
| spOndence. it is estimated that the re-
venue would have been increased by
$4,000. In the hope of imposing some
greater check on the evil, it was
enacted in 1868 that the whole super
scription must be in the handwriting
| OF the member"
1t must be remembered that there
was then-a-days no handy envelope in
which to slip letter when written.
Generally a quarto sheet of paper was
used, the fourth page being left blank.
| The top and bottom of the sheet were
| folded over, almost meeting; then the
sides were likewise folded and Dubbed
| over, one tucked into the other. and
the seal or wafer affixed. On the other
side about the size and shape of an Or
binary business envelope, the address
was written in the center, the name of
| the post town and the date the letter
was posted above, and the name OF the
member who ranked it in the left-hand
corner.
The whole of this inscription, as we
have seen, had to be in the handwrit-
| ing of the member; the frank was only
available on the date named on the
cover, and, if the superscription
! CHANGED to be incorrect, the letter was
| charged in the ordinary way. This
was no joke to the recipient, because a
members frank cleared an ounce. no
matter how many Enclosures q letter
might contain. whereas the postage on
an unbranded letter was doubled if the
| smallest scrap of paper was inclosed. a
| letter being charged according to the
number of Enclosures it contained. and
the distance it had to travel, instead of
by weight, as nOw.-LOngmans Maga-
