of a storm which during the Crimeau

French minister of war. directed that
Investigations be made TO see if the two
storms were the same. and if the prog

been fore,old. 1t was demonstrated
that the two were in reality one storm

This is doubtless to some extent the
result Of ebb and flow in the social our
rent. But there are also specific causes.
The vacation idea has grown very rapid
" and is still growing. The idea thaf
leisure is waste is an exploded one. NO
labor faithfully formed IN IFS sea son
is SO humble that the laborer Is not bet
ter equipped for his duties byaa period
IF change and rest The increasing rec
sognitionaof this fact has led up to an
almost universal summer flight. These

The staple Of their lives But this was
but a stage Of TRANSITION: 1t led up to
aspiration and deeper Ionging. It gave
birth to a desire for home life In the
country, with its 1argeness and It's free
I dom, as well as in the city, with It's con-
tracted accommod atoms and limited out
look, and the result IS that every year
the well-to-do and even those who call
themselves poor men, are more and more
picking up homes in the country, big or
little, where their families can stay and
their children obtain that familiarity with
nature which is no small part Of a liberal
education. n
The desire for these summer homes,
then is one cause forA4the movement
The exceptional opportunity for obtain
ing them is another. The Connecticut
secretary Of agriculture has just ISSUED
a second report on aband Toned farms in
that state. The list is very much smaller
than when the first report was issued
seven years ago. The urban backset ac-
counts for much of this. Still the oppor-
tunities, and very favorable ones, are not
exhausted. There are farms. by no

I. Nearly all Japanese stores are conducted
In the same manner, though some shops

II a foreign lady is shopping, a crowd Of
Japanese usually Blockade the store, a1x-
'ious to see the strange sight Preparatory
to the new treaties going into effect the
government issued an order for the ma
tives to abandon this obstructive habit.
The Japanese are great imitators. Al
most every staple article has, its imitation
here and its label counterfeited. A Phil
adelphia shoe backing has half a dozen
limitations. One maker inserts his name
leaving North Front street, Philadelphia,
remaining, and the label unchanged except

Another inserts his name and Japanese

glish. While butchering it horribly they
do remarkably well, considering every
thing. On the few English signs of lead
