Boys who may show criminal tenden-
cies, but who have not yet become GRIM
mails, are offered a good home at the
Burnham. Industrial Farm at Canaan
Four Corners, N. Y, near the old Quak-
er settlement. The land that makes up
the farm was given by Mr.. Frederick
G. Durham, and the boys who are re-
ceived are put to work, taught trades
and how to take sensible, pleasant recre-
alton. Besides his food, clothing and
instruction each boy may earn 10 mills
a day, the entire sum thus earned being
placed to his credit, being redeemable in
cash at the end of his sojourn there. But
bad behavior forfeits as good behavior
wins, according to graduated scale,
and the boys standing generally is based
on what is placed to his credit.

The Eleotx Ia n iIyIRIay..S

Forty-four per cent of tho population
Of this country now live Ia tho citieaI
The number Of those who are drawn
from the farms annually to engage ia
labor or business in the city Is increas-;
ing rapidly. This tendency bids fair to
continue at least for some years to come.
But there is one thing which is bound
not to continue. That is the constantly
increasing and exorbitant rents charged
for city dwellings and flats. It has al.
most reached it's climax now. Perhaps
the best place for the busy worker at
work is the city, but certainly the best
place to live in is the country. The city
workers will increase no doubt, but It is
no less certain that the country jewellers
will soon begin to increase in like ratio.
One reason why town rents have risen
till they eat up a third of mans in
come in some instances is that the town
man must be at his business early and
late. He must be near it in order to
make this possible. Therefore he cannot
live out in the country. It would con-
sumo two or three hours going back and
forth.
A suburban town is not the real coun-
try in which man Of moderate means
can have garden and keepa COW, if not
horse. To reach this, the real country,
and share its delights and have health
for his family, the city business man
must go too far out to reach his Office or
factory in time in the morning. So he
and his wife and children mure them
selves up in stuffy flats and remain pale
and languid and bewail their fate.
But busy little agent is working
quietly that is going to change this state
Of affairs. It is the electric railway, with
its clean, bright cars flashing and hum
ming swiftly by. The time is at hand
when every country neighborhood of any
Importance will have its electric railway
conveying passengers to the steam rail
road station,sif not always to the city
itself. Wherever there is country road
within hundred miles of a city, thereit
is the mission of the electric car to build
up, beautify and develop the rural home.
It. will enable the city man of small
means to enjoy the rustic Injuries now
only within reach of the millionaire. The
electric railway is an important factor in
civilization. lr.- r..

~ me New - tional ldbrary5
Many people have wondered what had
become Of the magnificent new n ational
library building at Washington, the one
which was ordered BY congress more
than nine years ago, but which is not
nearly finished yet. A writer in Kate
Fields Washington uncovers some Of
the dust that has accumulated around
this subject and informs the world what
y going on inside the great board fence
east Of the capitol building. On the
point most Of interest to us all, however
that is, when the work will be finished
even Kate Field seems unable to give
information.
It is certain that the great and beauti-
ful building, when once it is done, will
be the largest and finest library struc-
ture in the world. It will cover iii 900
square feet of ground and will hold more
than 1000, 1000 books At present in the
Congressional library, which will be
transferred to this building when it is
finished, there are 700, 900 bound volumes
and 100000 pamphlets. The number will
be increased to 100000 before the new
edltice is complete. Librarian Spoford
says it will hold all the books needed for
the National library for $50 years to
come. - @ .
France now contains in its N ational Ii
brary the largest number of books. Great
Britain comes next and after her Ger
many. AS to ourselves, it will not be
t1attering to our national vanity to find
that we are behind even Russia in the
size of our library. She comes fourth,
and we are fifth. "a ",

The popular estimate of some railroads
expressed derisively is that they carry
their passengers like swine. While there
are undoubtedly just causes for COM
plant, the human cattle cars" as they
are sometimes called, are far more cost
ly and carry fewer paying items to the
weight of the car than any other kind of
traffic. According to an estimate made
at Chicago during the Worlds fair, for
each passenger carried there was from
300 pounds of car on the ordinary day
coaches to 5000 pounds on the heaviest
palace and sleeping cars. The average
weight per passenger was estimated to
be ], 100 pounds. The better the accom-
mediation required, the more weight to
each passenger per car was necessary.
This is one reason why passenger rates
are SO much higher than freight rates.
Another reason is that the wear and tear
Of fast trains are vastly greater than that
of slow trains. While the cost of haul
ing a given weight of train is the same
whether it is composed Of freight or pas
senger cars, it will be evident from the
above glimpse at statistics that passen-
gers cost more to carry than freight, and
the cost is increased proportionally as
the number Of passengers decreases.

There is something that should be
sat upon. It is the impertinence and
pomposity Of a considerable minority Of
the doctors employed on salaries in in
sane asylums, hospitals and other pub
lie institutions. Reputable physicians
themselves should be among the first to
help suppress the impertinence and POM
posity Of these hirelings who take adj
vantage of a sure living to show out all
the unwhipped savagery and barbarity
of their natures.

Until northerner visits the ground
himself he has not an accurate idea Of
the problem that confronts the south in
the future Of the negro. Northern men
who have taken up their residence in the
former slave states have been accused Of
turning traitor and toadying to the south
ern sentiment on the negro question in
order to succeed in business. It is fact,
however, that even the views Of the most
radical friends Of the black man are
modified by a stay in the south.
In the north the blacks are in the mi
nority. They are stimulated by the in
fuence Of the white people among whom
they live to clean themselves up. to wear
whole clothing, to educate themselves
and save money. Thenorthern negro can
meet on equal terms in many instances
the most cultivated white people. In
some of the southern states the blacks
are so numerous that it would take a
half century for the cleanest and most
thrifty of white people to induct them
into permanently better ways. One Wis
sting these black states for the first time
is wildly impressed with the difference
between the northern and southern ne
gro. The southern black is stupider,
more ignorant and horribly dirty in his
person. This last seems the most hope
less feature in the case. If the southern
black seemed to have any pride as to a
clean skin and whole garments, then i'm
provement in the moral and intellectual
region might be looked for. But the
southern negro seems even blacker in
color than the northern one. There is
as much difference between the two as
between poverty stricken Russian Jew
just landed and Belmont or Roths-
child.
It is not Latin and Greek or profess
sional education that the southern negro
wants. He must first of all be taught
to earn his own living systematically
and faithfully. He wants industrial ed
ucation most of all. Particularly he
should be instructed in improved meth
DDS Of agriculture. To this end the ex-
pertinent stations in the south ought to
labor increasingly. A great future is
before the south, especially in products
of the soil. The negro is the laborer best
adapted to tilling that soil. Reading,
writing and arithmetic enough to enable
him to keep accounts constitute book ed
ucation sufficient for him in the face Of
the greater need of industrial instruc-
ton. North should unite with south
in one great effort to elevate the negro
by giving him scientific industrial
training. It is the solution of the prob
lem that faces the south.

More Men Than Women.

The United States census bureau has
issued special bulletin containing mar
rage statistics. It has been as carefully
compiled as the nature of the case would
admit. It's conclusions upset several
points Of popular belief. One of these
is that there are more women than men
in the country. The cold figures show
that this is not true of the country at
large, even if it be so of Massachusetts.
But Massachusetts is not the country,
though Boston may think the country
revolves around her as a pivot.
The fact is that we have 1, 422 40 more
males than females in the United States,
so that every woman could have hus-
band if she wanted one and have frac-
ton of a man to spare besides, So far as
the mere supply of men goes. This ought
to comfort those maidens who still have
hope that their afhnities may be found,
though it holds out small consolation to
bachelors. -.
Statistics of widowhood and widower-
hood show difference on the other side.
Widows are for some reason far more
constant to the memory of the dear de-
parted than widowers. For every widow
er who remains in the single state there
are s. widows. And yet, with the ma
jority Of widowers remarrying, there are
still nearly million and half husbands
left { er for the ladies who want them.
Perhaps they are not distributed in the
right districts. Il

Unique Railroad Advertising.

oANAO ASGAAA4OS1u 11utcIC1SluEs
In one instance at least railway gen.
eral passenger agent has turned mission
airy, and to good purpose. The main part
of his road 191ns through district given
up to dairying and keeping summer
boarders. Indeed thriving farmer in
that region declares that his most sue
cessful crop is summer boarders and that
it increases every year.
Realizing the vast possibilities Of the
summer boarder, the shrewd general pas
senger agent began the task Of drumming
up trade in this staple for the farmers
along his route. Every victim that was
secured meant just SO many dollars ad-
ditional for his road. He made house
to house canvass of every neighborhood
along his route and ascertained how
many families did or would, if strongly
enough tempted, take city people for the
summer. Then he published their names
and addresses in railway guidebook
issued by his company. The attractions
in each neighborhood were specified, and
other information was given.
But that was not enough. This mis-.
sionary railroad drummer had bright
girl write book telling country people
how to retain summer boarders after
they had got them, and how to make
them long each winter for the summer
to come, when they could return to the
familiar restful farmhouse. Result-ev.
erybody was happy, and the road reaped
a harvest of gain.

Atlanta.

When resident of Atlanta wishes to
compliment the most hustling northern
city in the highest terms he knows, he
calls Chicago the s*Atlanta of the north"
That expresses it all to his mind. The
Chicago man, on the other hand, alludes
to Atlanta as the "Chicago of the south"
Both are satisfied, and no harm is DONE
Atlanta is indeed different from the
supposed type of southern city. Not any,
where, even in the cold and bracing
northwest, is there more aggressive bust
ness activity. Some Of the most beauti-
full homes ip America are EMPOWERED in
bloom and verdure along it's shaded
streets. It has given evidence of much
literary and journalistic talent. It has
bestowed on mankind Joel Chandler Har-
ris, Henry w. Grady and Sam Small,
not to speak of Secretary Hoke Smith. A
new poet, one Of the rising verse makers
of America, Frank L. Stanton, belongs
at present to the staff of the Atlanta Con-
