A Little Tnn Quiet.

Jersey and Guernsey are gardens, says a
recent French visitor to tho Channel is
lands. The fields are so neat, so carefully
kept, that they seem rather like garden
plots The least corner Of earth Is culti-
vuted--the roadsides, every little hollow,
and even Fan inch OF earth on the end of
a rock.
But these Edens are silent, the traveller
goes on TO say. Now and then people on
the islands smile, but no one ever laughs.
Laughter is unbecomng, and to laugh
aloud would be scandGious.
The birds sing, bat not the people.
Even the children arc sobor-little men
and women rather than children. The
trees are yews, Expresses and weeping will
lows.
When the people so to walk, they takc
TO the cemeteries Lovers exchange VOWS
upon tombstones, ana houses that are
near graveyards rent more readily and at
better prices on that account.
"We are admirably situated in our new
house." said a young Jersey woman to
the French writer. "Woaro right opposite
tho cemetery, and / can see the tomhs
from the windows Of my bedroom. In tho
moonlight the view is lovely"
And still the Frenchman has TO admit
that there is something very attractive in
this solemnity and stiffness. The longer
he remained IN the islands the less he felt
like coming away Youth IS Companion.

There are two of them-the one who
fits from station TO station and dumps
your poor dumb trunk with force enough
to drive piles IN government breakwater,
and the one who lolters around the depot
watching for his chance to shatter your
baggage. The depot baggageman is the
most culpable Of the two species. In his
long and dark career Of smashing trunks
he has knocked the hoops of his conscience,
and there is no remorse brave, foolhardy
and reckless enough to tackle his heart
strings and play ON them.
The cowboy ropes the Texas steer for
fun, but the baggageman ropes your
trunk for quarter of dollar. No mat
ter though your trunk be shod with half
inch strap iron and armed with solid steel
corselets on the corners and double locked
with burglar proof combination, the sta
tion baggageman wants TO rope it all the
same, and usually he terrifies all the pas
sengers into letting him have his own
way. He approaches you with smile,
goes away with 20 cents and ties up your
bruised and battered kister with tow
string.

DeInwnre'a Hundreds.

In tho days when the Saxons dominated
England, prior TO the coming of William
of Normandy, the people were formed into
divisions of hundreds. This was done
mainly for military purposes and the con-
vouience OF assembly upon the summons
OF the powerful enrls and barons to whom
the people owed allegiance. These hun
drcds usually consisted OF ten families,
each family being computed at a minimum
Of ten persons. IN time the families in
creuscd in memborship, bot did not lose
their individual identity nor change the
designation of organization. In the nat
ural order of cyelts these hundreds OK
panded into communities and ultimately
into geographical divisions and TOOK un
geographical designations.
Some Of the American colonists adopted
this form of geographical division, and
thus we still have hundreds ,n Delaware
and Virginia, although In the latter state
that form Of designation Is but seldom
used. But in Delaware hundred Is univer.
sally used 10 describe the divisions OF n
county and Is equivalent to the township
In Pennsylvania and other states. s.-Phila-

REAL ESTATE.
Encouraging Condition in
This Vicinity.

IL il not expected that there will be
much more activity in real estate and
building this year. Still there
Is a surprising amount OF LIE leit
i'm the operations OF the season just
closing, and vast encouragement Tor an
excellent spring opening. Several real es-
tate brokers who were called upon
this morning were unanimous in
stating that there are as many houses In
process of construction this TALL as al any
time during the year; and II VIII be seen
that goodly number OF building permits
have been recently granted, including
several for new barns.
The Improvement of the suburbs seems
TO have formed the bulk OF real estate
transactions during the past SIX
months, although many sales ana
contracts have been Effected all
over the city. The remarkable sale
of house lots on the instalment plan, and
the numerous houses built and occu-
pied indicate great demand LOT
"homes" among the middle classes.
Many OF these purchasers never
dreamed of owning their homes
before the idea OF paying $40 down and a
paltry sum each month was introduced
and not only have they become
better citizens, but through
the fundamentally of these trans
acIions the city and railroad COM
panies hsve been led to extend their aid
toward the betterment oil the outlying
districts.
Out in Washington Park, for instance,
the Union Railroad Company has agree d
to extend its tracks this fall through New
York and Massachusetts, avenues, and
the city is doing considerable grading.
In this region, during the past month,
eighteen or twenty houses have been
started and 175 dwellings are already oc-
cupied.
In Lincoln Park over four hundred
house lots have been sold during fVe
months and many new houses erected.
One man is now building 10 houses on
REYNOLDS and Potter's avenues and Pub
lie street and similar booms are in pro-
gress at Edgewood and East Providence.
At the former place 40 lots were sold on
the Bartlett plat, between Broad street
and the Park drive. several streets nave
been graded, and in the spring the city
will introduce water.
Over 400 lots have been sold on the
Sprague Homestead plat on Cranston
street and 80 houses, costing from $1,000 TO
5000 each erected. A $4,000 school
house is an attraction there and Penn
eylvania company has purchased large
tract for lumber yard adjoining the
railroad track.
The sewers built in Elmwood avenue has
made available q section and the Auburn
dale plat at Elmwood has received
quite boom. There - houses nave gone
up and six are now in progress.
In two years time 300 lots have been sold
out that way and so new houses built.
Within two days papers have been
passed for the transfer of 30 acres on Pom
iiac road, Reservoir and Park avenues to
Wood, Harmon 81 Company.
All these indications and the numerous
salls made daily for more lots and con-
tracts encourage real estate men TO believe
that better feeling is existing now than
before for years.
