that have used trolley cars on pleasant nights In
the Quaker City have been numerous. Phadel-

tens and many Of the lines have branches ex-
tending the suburbs. one OF the favorite routes
Is out through historic Germantown and past the
old Chew mansion to Chestnut Hill; another Is
through the open country along the old York
Road and there others that pass through
West Philadelphia and beyond. Some OF the COM
panies have been at considerable pains and have
expended large sums in fitting up trolley party
cars In various gorgeous and luxurious ways, with
silken hangngs mirrors, cushions and electric
lights.
Each car is rented to party for night and
taken over the company's line OF road from one
end to the other. Sometimes trailer is at

Diversified Farming.

There is an interesting article
in the recent issue Of lie Boston
Commonwealth, Edward Everett
Hale's paper, on wes cru farm
lands, which says that ''the peri
cd of emigration of fortune
seekers is over and is about to he
replaced by the secondary period
the more wholesome period of EN-
igration of homese.kers;" and
that, "if vast farms with siugle
crops do not paw, at least small
farms with varied crop 9, upon
which a man may SUI sist and
rear a family are not lacking"
The article goes on to say, that
with proper methods Of farming
it is easier to raise enough for
ones needs in the West than in
the East, because the soil is
more fertile and the climate
more healthful. The Common
wealth seems to be exceptionally
well informed as to the present
condition of se:tlsment in the
West. Therei is a marked move
ment in the direction of small
farms, and it is nowhere more
noticeable than in our own state.
The men who have titled small
farms carefully during the past
ten years are, as rule, in an in
dependant condition, while near
ly all the bonanza farmers, who
have devoted all their energies to
the raising OF wheat. are alagger-
ing under heavy loads OF debt
