largely disappeared. What is the diff
ference between the civilization of
England and American asked an
American of an Englishman. This, at
any rate said the Englishman, that
in America there is not foot of land
that is not for sale, while in England
there are millions Of acres which can
not be bought In a sense the remark
was true, and in so far as it is, it in

which among us is largely unknown.
and whether it is the loosening of this
tie, or the depressing influence OF the
isolation of rural life, or the love of ex-
element, that drift of which I have
spoken increases instead of dimfnishes
until 1t comes to pass that a very con-
siderable element of the activity of al
most any large community in America
is composed of those who are not ma
tive to it." These words of Bishop Pot
ter come home with particular force
when one considers the countless num-
bers OF societies in such city as New
York, for instance, made up wholly of
the natives of other sections, states or
cities-The New England society. the
Southern society, the Ohio society, etc..
etc.
There is an indication, however, of a
growth of sentiment among rich Amer
leans that may have wide influence in
the future. This is a determination to
taste the sweets of country life for at
least portion of the year. There was

light of English country house life
gained recognition among
the Americans, and there has been a
genuine effort to adopt something of
the kind here. In the matter of build

In the United States Supreme court
at Washington an opinion has been
handed down by Justice Harlan, in the
case Of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
Railway company VS.. Charles Haber,
affirming the constitutionality and va
lidity of the state laws Of Kansas pro-
hibiting the transportation into the
state of cattle affected with Texas fever
and providing for civil action for
damages in case of the infraction Of the
law. These laws were attacked on the
ground that they were repugnant to
the constitution OF the United States,

The recent sentence Of M. lola, the
French novelist, was one Of the most
astounding proceedings of recent time.
lola was condemned for an VttSrsRse
criminal libel, perhaps, comes as near
as anything to the spsOido oharss
against him. in reality, hib crime CPnc
sisted IN protesting asAinst the taiilnG
away Of mans liberty and the dis
grading Of him witpoat giving him q
fair trial. lola had no opportunity to
defend himself, and, fafthOFEnoTe, h6
was not proved guilty. Ills tr1al was
a farce and q disgrace to a nat4On
which calls itself civilized. Eola took
a stand for the right and was pun
ished for It. His course was most hon.
orable, and the novelist may yet reap
his reward.

A New Game for the Boys.

New York Evening World: The lat
est game invented by New York young
sters came out in Yorkville last week.
1t has not yet been named, but this
does not interfere in any way with its
popularity. Two or three tin cans are
tied to rope about ten feet long. One
OF the players takes his position in the
center of the street and swings the
cans in circle, keeping them in contact
with the ground as much as possible.
The remainder of the players line up,
and as the cans come along they have
to jump over them. Whoever gets his
feet tangled up with the rope has to
take his place in the center of the
street and swing the cans.

No one at the barge Office doubts
that Joseph Badmore would be able to
scrape together a living in this coun-
try, but as he had no money and no
friends, and came as a stowaway. he
Will have to go back to Barbados,
whence he came on the good bark Mary
q. Hale, says the New York Times.
Joseph's parents were born in Africa,
as one can easily believe who beholds
Joseph, for he is as black as the ace of
spades. His hair is crinkly, his lips
as thick as blubber, and his chin re-
treating. No one would take him to be
linguist and an individual of varied
attachments, but he is. He has been
a rover for twelve years. He thinks he
is now As years old, but he doesn't
know just when he was born. He went
to sea twelve years ago, but he has not
remained at sea all of the time since.
When he first signed seaman's articles
he could talk only Spanish. He rested
awhile in Germany and while there
picked up German and Russian. Then
he went to Holland and got a good
smattering or Dutch. A sojourn in Italy
made him proficient in the language of
that sunny land His French is Parish
an, he having learned it in the capital. |
TO sea he went again and at Singapore
he learned to talk with the Malays in |
their own language, and at Madras he |
caught the language of the coolies; he

enough to be understood. At Algiers he
studied" Turkish and Arabic, and in
Japan, Japanese. He drifted back to
Germany and found Polish easy, and
then, in Copenhagen, he finished off his
linguistic education by mastering the
scandinavian languages. That he real
y had smattering of all these tongues
vas attested BY the corps OF interpret
ITS in the immigration bureau. He was
lble to talk to any of them, but they
admitted that to get really creditable
account of himself from himself the
'est results could be obtained only by
he full corps Of interpreters. OF course,
oseph had to make a living while
tudying languages ashore. He secured
job from a famous circus man in
and became an assistant
ION tanner. In Berlin he was exhibited
s wild man from somewhere, and a
ig ring was inserted between the nos
rils OF his nose, which is about one
nd one-half inches wide. In London, {
here his travels also took him, he got :
job again as lion tanner. Some
lonths ago a vessel he had shipped in 6
European port was wrecked off the /
vast Of Brazil. He was thrown up with t
lie drift on to the beach, and, pursuing t

The indications are stronger than

for wheat before the next harvest b
ready for the market. From all paTts
Of the country come reports ef a.
pleted stocks in farmers hands. There
is not enough wheat in the northwest
to supply the Minneapolis mills, and
the prediction is made that wheat viii
have to be shipped from Chicago to
make up the threatened shortage.
Wheat is rapidly rising in price in all
the foreign countries, Letter has
shipped nearly 100000 bushels to
Liverpool, and could readily dispose Of
what he has left at fancy prices. France

on wheat, and Spain, Roumania and
Italy have already done so. Russian
stocks are the smallest on record. It
seems evident that the United States
will have to feed the world for many
months to come. Those farmers who
have been fortunate enough to hold
On to their wheat feel confident thai
the price viii touch S1.25 and probably
$3.50 before the new crop is ready.

Most Of the writers of sociological
questions give much attention to the
gradual drifting of the country popu-
lation towards the cities. That the
tide has set in strongly in this direc-
ton 1t is impossible to deny. The I'M
exampled growth of our cities bear
striking testimony of the fact, which
also receives confirmation from the
dwindling Of villages and hamlets, and
the abandonment of once fourishing
farms. In his recently published book,
Bishop Henry Goldman Potter of New
York, who is always keen and shrewd
observer, says in paper which he has
happily called "The Rural Reinforce
ment of Cities" "The drift from the
farm to the town is one of the most
marked characteristics of our Ameri-
can life. Indeed, it may be said that
almost nobody stays in the country if
he can help it, and that traditional at
tachment to the old homestead which
was very real and potent thing with
our fathers, and which contributed i'm
to the stability and in a very
real sense, the dignity of rural com
