DIVERTED FROM THE FARM.
English Energy Is Being Transferred
from the Country to the Large
Cities.

England in the seventeenth century
was an agricultural country, and,
broadly speaking. that condition con-
tlnued throughout the greater part of
the eighteenth century. AS between
the two centuries, however, there was
one great difference, that while in the
seventeenth century agriculture pro-
crossed very slowly in the eighteenth
century it made immense strides.
throughout the greater part of the
eighteenth century agriculture was
fashionable. Noblemen We'd with one
another in making agricultural expert
ments and in improving their estates.
They thought more about introducing
new root crops and new grasses or i'm
proving the breed of some sheep and
cattle than they did about the amuse-
ments OF the London season. At the
same time large areas of land that had
been previously cultivated on the semi
communistic and wasteful "open field''
system were inclosed and divided into
separate farms. The other important
developments of the eighteenth cen
fury may most fairly be regarded as
preparation for the century to come,
says the London Graphic
Toward the latter end of the century
several of the machines which were to
revolutionize the textile industries of
the world were invented in rapid sue
cession, but it was only gradually that
they were brought into use. Toward
the end of the same century began the
great improvement of highways and
the construction of canals. But in the
case of each of these brilliant develop
ments the greater part of the profit
accrued to the century that succeeded.
At the beginning of the nineteenth
century England was still an agricul-
tural country, still a frequent seller
and rare buyer of wheat-and she
was only just beginning to utilize the
marvellous inventions of Arkwright and
Watt, the engineering triumphs of Tel
ford and the immense stores of mineral
wealth buried beneath her soil. If we
turn back to contemporary estimates
of the wealth of the country at the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century we
find the first point considered is the
rent of the agricultural land. To-day
it would be one of the last.

The Earth's shadow.

The earth has a shadow, but few
ever observe it or, if they do, have no
knowledge of what they are looking
at. Some of us have seen on beau
tiful summer evenings just before
sunset a roseate arc on the horizon
opposite the sun, with a blush gray
segment under it. This is the shadow
of the earth. The same shadow is al
ways observable on the occasion of an
eclipse of the moon.-Chicago Times

store is Robbed.

The hardware store of T. f. Neu-
man of Foreston, was entered by
cracksmen, who blew open the safe
and levanted with $500 in cold cash
and 5000 in checks and town orders.
The clock over the safe stopped at las
a. M, indicating tina. the safe was
blown at that time. The interior Of
store was partly wrecked, and the loss
on that account may foot up several
hundred dollars.
The robbery is supposed to have
been committed by two strangers, who
were tracked to Milaca and probably
caught morning train there and left
the country. One is described as
about five feet nine inches in height,
and smoothly shaver. The other was
about five feet eleven inches tall, and
has sandy mustache and scar on
the chin.
