THE RURAL HEeIRA TO CITIES
All the World Over the People Are Flock.
Ing N the TnxynA.

| All the world over the People Are FLOCK
ing to the Towns.
One of the remarkable social features
of this era is the large and constant
movement of population from the coun-
try to the cities, movement that tends
to rural depopulation. It is not con-
fined to any country, or any part of the
earth, but is most marked in the oldest
and most thickly populated countries
of Europe. It Is also a movement of
considerable Importance in this hemis-
phere, and in the newest of civilized
countries, Australia It is best stated,
perhaps, as disproportionate growth
of towns, to the extent that in the past
thirty or forty years there has been an
actual diminution of the rural popula-
In the greater portion of Europe and
in many parts of this continent and
Australia
Perhaps this movement has been
most marked in Great Britain and Ire
land. The migration of population
from the rural districts to towns was
first apparent in Wales in 1851. 1t did
not become of any Importance in En-
gland until some ten years later. Dur
ing the last twenty years eight counties
in England and three in Wales have
lost ten per cent. of their rural popula-
ton; that is, the rural population in
those counties to-day is ten per cent
less than 1t was twenty years ago. In
some districts, particularly in the south
west of the kingdom, the decrease in
rural population is as high as twenty to
thirty per cent In Scotland the move
ment towards the towns began sixty
years ago, and parliamentary returns
show that the depopulation has teen
much greater than in England and
Wales, but the precise percentage is
not stated. The highlands have suf-
fered most, but the lowlands have also
lost heavily. The returns quoted aver
that the formation of deer forests,
which necessitates the dispossession
and driving away wholesale of very
many families, has played no impor-
tant part in the depopulation of the
rural districts This indicates that to
some deeper underlying cause must be
ascribed the great general exodus from
the rural regions.
The depopulation Of Ireland has been
continuous and severe and general
throughout the country. 1t has not
been rural depopulation only, but a
general emigration from both town
and country. 1t began before the great
famine of 1916, and has continued ever
since. But even in Ireland, with this
general decrease of the population as
a whole, there has been Il great in
crease in the population of many
towns. Belfast has increased remark
ably.
There seems to exist nowadays on
the part of many rural-born persons
an aversion to country life. and, it
would seem, an aversion that is spread
ing. Reasons to account for this are
plentiful. and will readily be con-
ceived. Whether there is any remedy,
and whether a remedy is required, are
other questions.-N. Y. Sun.

M.dair Duel Between Aeronauts.

During the Franco-Prussian war a
blood-curdling duel occurred in mid
air between two aeronauts, one of
whom was conveying dispatches from
the governor of Paris The balloons,
approaching at a considerable altitude,
the encounter was commenced with pis-
tolls. For some time neither combatant
could secure the advantage, but at
length one balloon mounted above the
other, and its occupant, seizing his
momentary advantage, threw his Crap
ping irons on top of the other balloon.
They tore through the silken fabric as
though it had been so much paper.
There was an escape of gas, n shrek
and the next minute both balloon and
balloonist lay battered out of recogni-
ton upon the ground two thousand
feet below.-London Tit-Bits

The Giant of the Stars.

On September 2S, 1898, under the title
1.-THE Giant of the Planets" gave the
very latest authoritative facts and
figures relative to the dimensions of
Jupiter the titan of the solar system.
Outside our system" however. in the
realm of the stars, is body SO large
that were it possible to place our little
earth alongside of the giant the former
would look like bird shot and the lat
ter like Yale foot ball in comparison.
Arcturus, the star in question, is SO
far away that figures convey no def
mite idea of the immense distance. We
speak of our sun as though it were an
unthinkable distance from the earth.
Yet it is but step compared with the
space which separates us from the gil
ant Arcturus. The sun is $4,000. 600
miles away and our monster star H.
500, 900 times further! The volume of
Arcturus is greater than that of the en-
tire orbit of Mercury, or about $4,000
times greater than our sun.-St Louis
Republic.

The Harem in Modern Turkey.

"Harem," in the modern acceptation
of the word, merely means the private
apartments, and these would be called
by the same name even in a bachelors
establishment inhabited solely by men,
but generally it is applied to every
place intended for women. The end of
the Turkish railway carriage, cur
tanned off from the rest, is harem; 20
is the ladies' cabin on board ship and
the latticed gallery in a mosque. In
the dwelling-house 1t is all that quar-
ter inha bited by the wife and children
and other ladies of the family; and
here l may say, in passing, that very
few Turks nowadays have more than
one wife. The traditional Turk with
his innumerable women no longer ex-
lists. except as a very rare exception,
but the Mussulman has not sacrificed
the advantages of the privacy granted
him by the Mohammedan law and Gus
tom.-Troy Times

WASHINGTON'S STATE DINNERS.
Very Solemn Affairs, According to an An
Client AnnaIist.

Very Solemn Affairs, According to an An
Client Annalist.
Washington's state dinners must
have been exceedingly solemn affairs, if
they were all like the description of the
following, which is found in the ancient
diary of Senator Maclay, one of the
first two representatives, of the state of
Pennsylvania in the United States sem
ate:
Thursday, August 81, 17S9-A little
after four o'clock l called upon Mr..
Basset, of Delaware state. and we went
to the presidents for dinner
THE company were President and
Mrs. Washington, Vice President and
Mrs. Adams, Gov. Miffiin and his wife,
Mr.. Jay and his wife, Mr.. Langdon and
his wife, Mr.. Dalton and a lady-per-
haps his wife-Basset, myself, Lee
Lewis and the presidents two secre-
taries.
1.-THE president and his wife sat op-
posite each other in the middle of the
table. The two secretaries one at each
end. 1t was great dinner, and the
best of the kind / ever was at The
room, however, was disagreeably warm.
First were soup, fish, roasted and
baked meats, CANNON, fowl. etc This
was the dinner. The middle of the
table was garnished in the usual way,
with small images. artificial flowers,
etc The dessert was fruit, apple pies,
pudding, etc; then ice cream, jelly,
etc; then watermelons, muskmelons,
appleS peaches and nuts
1T was the most solmen dinner l
was ever at. Not health drank,
scarce a word said until the cloth was
taken away. Then the president, fill
ing glass of wine, with great formal
ity drank the health of every individ-
ual around the table. Everybody imi-
tated him, changed glasses and such
buzz of Health, SIR Health, mad
anne Thank you, sir, and Thank you,
madame had never heard before.
THE ladies sat good while and the
bottle passed about, but there was
dead silence almost Mrs Washington
at last withdrew with the ladies. l
expected the men would now begin,
but the same silence remained. The
president told of New England cler-
gyman who had lost his hat and wig in
passing a river called the Bronx. and
he smiled and everybody else laughed.
"He now and then said sentence or
two on some common subject, and what
he said was not amiss- Mr.. Jay tried
to make laugh by mentioning the
caricature of the duchess of Devonshire
assisting in carrying on Fox's election.
THE president kept a fork in his
hand when the cloth was taken away,
l thought for the purpose of picking
nuts; he ate none, but played with the
fork, striking on the edge of the table.
We did not sit long after the ladies re-
tired. The president rose and went up
stairs to drink coffee. The company
followed; l took my hat and went
home. IN. Y. Herald.
