New York in 1000 A. d.

How the people will live in 1000 A. D.
it is impossible to guess, but it is not
likely that they will live in the closely
huddled habitations of the present day
The indications are these: The tene-
ment house will be unknown, and no
man, rich or poor, will live in house of
which every room does not open freely
to the outer air. The present tendency
TO aggregation and eonglo1neration will
lead to heaven knows what method of
free, easy and cheap transportation He
would be bold man who, recalling the
short interval of time between the days
of the ubiquitous omnibus and the rapid
andpleasant trolley car Of to-day, would
venture to predict what will be our
means of urban travel. A quarter of
a century ago no one would have be-
lieved that old and young. rich and
poor, would be flying about our streets
and over our country roads on rubber
tired bicycles. It would have been as
absurd to predict then what we are now
SO familiar with as to predict now that
there will be some safe and universal
method of aerial or subte-ranean mode
OF conveyance.-Municipal Affairs.

ON THE EASTERN SHORE.
1t Is Easy to Get Living over
There.

1t Is Easy to Get Living over
There.
The eastern shore produces more
table delicacies than any other region
of equal area, and it is claimed that a
family may there enjoy the luNuries of
life cheaper than elsewhere, and that
the really poor man can live on the pc
ninsula for less than anywhere else,
save perhaps in parts of Asia. The
poorest inhabitants OF the peninsula
are colored people. The rural negro
there probably averages annually for
his work less than $500 in cash, and
many earn less than $3.50 year, while
others earn less than $100 in cash.
Nevertheless, the negro of the peninsula
is seldom without the means of appeas-
ing his hunger and of clothing himself
comfortably. The winter is always
short and usually mild. while fuel is ex-
tremely cheap, and in many parts to be
had for the gathering. 1t has been esti
mated by those familiar with the coun
try, and upon basis of the cost of a
slaves keep in the old days, that man
may supply his needs on the peninsula
for about $50 year. / quote an au-
thority which states that cabin and
little patch of ground can be rented for
$40 year. One thousand herring can
be bought for so cents, and cured and
barreled for so cents more, making one
dollar in all. One hundred and eighty
pounds of pork, at six cents pound,
cost $10.sO; 500 pounds of corn meal can
be had for $40; coffee, sugar and to-
bacco can be supplied for six dollars,
and clothing for SIS; total, $62.SO The
man also cultiyates his patch for yege
tables and feeding chickens. There is
many a negro family living in Just this
fashion.
The children provide wild berries as
summer luXuries, and in good years
peaches may be had for the asking. In
summer the children wear little cloth
ing, and in winter the cast-off rags Of
their parents suffice. If the family lives
along strip of salt water, there may
be had crabs, clans, oysters, free. The
nearest forest and the shores of the river
and bay furnish fuel. But there are
many there who live on even less than
$50 in cash per year; these hunt ard
fish throughout the year. find a bed in
some other mans cabin, pay for i. in
