Needless Noises.

One OF the injurious influences of a
city life is the nervous arrangements
often caused by the incessant noise
municipal government tolerates. 1t
is mischief operating SO subtly and
imperceptibly that it is not commonly
suspected till its worst effects have
become fixed. 1t is doubtful if any
nervous system ever becomes SO used
to this incessant strain upon it as to
feel no harm. The yelling of steam
whistles, the hiss of steam pipes, the
rattle and clash OF wheels on stone-
covered streets, the rumble of street
cars, the clangor Of bells, the bowling
of hucksters, keep up condition in
which healthy nervous system of
natural strength and sensitiveness is
impossible. And there is not one of
these agencies that is not suppressed
more or less completely in most of
the great cities of the world. In
Berlin heavy wagons are not allowed
OIL certain streets. In Paris any cart
load of rafting material must be ias-
tened till it can't rattle. Munich
allows no bells on street cars. In
Philadelphia church bells have been
held nuisance in certain neighbor-
hoods by judicial ruling. Steam
wheels are forbidden in nearly all the
large cities Of this country and Europe.
Milkmen and bakers are not allowed
to use bells or horns in some cities.
In others the abominable yelling and
bowling Of hucksters, for which there
is no excuse at all, are prohibited.

There are indications that the close
of the war in South Africa will witness
considerable immigration from that
region to the United States. Once
there was time when the United
States could say, in the words of the
song, that "Uncle Sam is rich enough
to give us all farm" This condi-
ton is true in considerable degree
to this day, although the country has
three times as many inhabitants now
as it had at the time when these words
were first heard. The public lands
are still far from being exhausted.
The quantity, the fertility and the
cheapness of the lands in the United
States, coupled with the freedom from
oppression and the opportunity for
everyone to carve out his own destiny
in his own way, was the chief consid-
Grafton which impelled immigrants to
come to this country when the condi-
tions in their own land were no longer
bearable. Millions OF acres OF public
lands stillEemain in the United States
and other blillions OF acres can be
obtained at low figures. Nearly all
the states west of the Mississippi and
some OF those east of the river have
lands which can be got so cheaply a.
to be an attraction for settlers from al
over the world, though the two little
republics of South Africa have thus
far contributed but slightly to the
total, A change in this particular il
likely to take place. A large part o
theEnext great trek of the Beers from
the Orange Free State and the Tran $.
wal will undoubtedly be to the WI 81
ern states OF the American reN 6lie
