FORGOT his Parcel.

A rather unique instance of absent
mind edness, occurred the other
evening on the Jefferson avenue car
line, says the Detroit News-Tribune.
The car was we'll filed with passen-
gers and as SION as stop was made at
McDougall avenue a man stepped off
the back platform, where he had been
standing, and the car moved on.
Instantly wild cry went up from the
late passenger, which broadened into a
howl of despair as the ditauce between
him and the t olley car widened. AS
ne shr+ked, he also ran and waved his
hanos frantically. The conductor see
ing the shadowy from in the distance
of thu night and hearing the un EARTH
y cries, pulled the bell strap and thus
induced mot'rman to balt which
he did with jerk. The man in pur-
suit came W thin ba;lIng distance.

puncher of pas -eboard.

gasped the man, swinging h 5 hat at
the open car door. The car having
come to a dead etandstill, woman

How the World is Fed.

The extensive shipments of frozen

to Europe suggest the vastness of the
scale on which the improved arrange
meuts for feeding the world are now
carried out. When America was dis
covered buyers in the ldrge-t European
produc- markets counted by the dozen
at wholesale and had minds habituated
to the ''great gross as the largest
measure of numeral value. Now we
are obliged to count our eggs and
chick. rs not merely by the gross. but
by the million dozen. Last year Eng
land actually consumed 133, ,OOO, 900
dozen eggs, paying $40, 1000. 900 for them.
Ten millions of them came from Amer

In 1896 England imported go 900
hundred weight of frozen beef from
Aus ralia. and over three times that
amount from the United States. A
market in London or in New York
would often show within the space of

Although the horrors of plague and

To Build a Town Well or Ill.

About the year 1870 two suburban
specu ations were begun in the neigh
borhood of Chicago. One district was
situated nine miles from the town; the
other, six: but both were on the same
railway and land in each was worth
from 800 to 5000 an acre. The man
ayers of one district laid out their plan
iu what was then the usual way: they
made streets Of prairie soil with neat
open di'cheS on either side, and they
left proper spaces for sidewalks, along
which trees were planted. They hit
upon good name, issued Autographs
and advertise d-with no svery profit
able results.
The managers of the other district
high rate of interest. With this they
underlaid the land with several miles
of drainage pipe, then built macadam-
lied roads with paved cutters, iron
gra'ings, concrete sidewalks and broad
borders frequently spreading into little
greens and commons planted pictures
quely. All the natural wood and the
banks of the stream which passed the
place We're made public properly, and
shelters, seris, bathing and boat houses
were provided upon it. An artesian
we II was sunk, and with steam pump
water was sent to all parts of the prop
erty. Before these improvements were
nearly cOm"lete the owners began sell
ing land uprn the roads at $50 the front
foot, and soon afterward advanced the
price to $50, and then gas was in
troduced The price of land rose, even
in the outskirts, in two years from $50
to 81. 900 an acre.
In the twenty years Of their existence
it is evident that the first community
has had to expend may times the
amount wisely spent in the beginning by
the other. These inS'a ces suffice to
show in way that ought to appeal TO
