Danes Return to the Farms.


The Howard association has publish
ed an Interesting leafiet entitled Back
70 the Land Denmark S Example"
In that country there is an exodus of
the population of the towns back to
the land. Partly by state aid and
partly by private enterprise 1900
square miles of waste lands have been
reclaimed, and five eighths of the ma
tional territor.- is possessed by small
freeholders aud peasants. Above
hundred peoples high schools have
been established, where peasantry and
working classes of ages from Is to %
get board and education for 10 shil-
lings per week. The Danish farmers
have + rmed cooperative societies for
the collection, sale and export of their
produce. Danish university and col
lege students have instituted through
out the rural districts free lectures,
evening lessons and committees for
promoting popular amusements. In
almost evey village a public hall has
been erected for recreation and social
gatherings. In villages where the
high sc:ool has obtained influence
neither drinking, gambling nor gross
breaches of morals are to be met with;
vet the villages are fond of games, dan
cling, sports and other recreations.
And what is the result? Dennsark
has b, ONE the second country in the
world in regard to average wealth per
head, although there are very few rich
men. She annually supplies the Brit
ish market with more than 100000

A High Mark.

The New York Almanac for 1901, is
sued by Chas. II. Fletcher of New York
City, has set a high mark for similar
publications during the new century, and
shows remarkable enterprise on the part
of the publisher when we consider that
u is intended solely for free distribution
The numerous publications of this eharac-
ter are usually gotten up with the single
idea Of cheapness, while the thought Of
expense has certainly been set aside in
the case of the New York Almanac.
The artistic colorings Of the cover, the
accuracy of its calendars and its fund
of information all go TO make it well
worthy of perusal and preservation. 1t
has innumera BILE hints for mothers as to
the care OF children. A unique page is
the "Baby's Record" page. which is in
blank. to be filed in with baby's name,
date of birth. cut first tooth, etc.
The whole is a very creditable piece of
work and may be procured at any drug
store or direct on request, free.

Moderation in Exercise.

Too much is said in extoiling the
virtues of exercise. In moderation II
is beneficial, but many of the public
have strange ideas of moderation in
such matters. A clerk will work all
day with his head and work with his
legs all night. He thinks the long
walk is good for him. The fresh air
is, but in the exercise he is not conserv-
ing his energy as he should do to make
his life long. Mental and bodily ener-
CIV come to the same thing at the finish.
Having freely drawn upon the stock
of one you must not then tap the other
with the idea that it is beneficial, for
it is not. They have common source.
Mr.. Chamberlain, who, it will be adj
Matted, lives as wearing life as most
people, mentally, takes no exercise
whatever and thrives upon abstinence
from it, says the London Mail. Tt is
palpable that he does The colonial
secretary is rarely indisposed. There
fore, the multitude regard him as a
hygienic phenomenon. He is nothing
of the kind. 1t is extremely probable
that if he exercised himself very much
he would not be so well. BY living
according to the system he adopts he
is conserving his energy to the fullest
extent.
Moderation is golden rule in life
and should be practiced in every de
tail. ara especially in the matter OF
eating. A majority of persons take
years off their lives through eating too
much, while all the time they are under
the impression that they are indeed be
ing strictly moderate. At the end Of
the nineteenth century the public does
not know wien it has eaten enough.

A particularly satisfactory feature of
the growth of free libraries in London

Fast RniImaY Time.

The fastest time ever made on a
Canadian railroad was that of Lord
Strathcona's special train on the Cana
dian Pacific from Montreal to Ottawa,
when the distance of 112 miles was
covered in 10 minutes. or. deducting
ten minutes for stoppages and slow
downs, in 100 minutes. This was good
speed for so long run, especially in
view of the fact that the run was made
in a heavy snowstorm. The Reading
holds the record for fast runs on this
continent. but its record was made on
the easy aud comparatively short line
from Camden to Atlantic City.

Miss Sheldon, as before remarked.
had become a parsonage in that un-

drop of gall In her chalice OF
happiness as she sat in her hall bed
room one winter evening and lovingly
fingered some half dozen small envel-
opes. Her brown face was puckered
unpleasantly, as 1t was wont TO be
over the boarding house coffee, and she
was indulging in monologue. a habit
most helpful to an amateur story
teller.
Dinner and conversation; music and
gabble; tea and talk" she murmured
jerkily, slowly telling over the small
blue and white missives. Nov, small
talk is my Waterloo. They expect me
to be fluent. All, II could only write
1t down first! But how do know what
they will speak to me about?" She
pondered deeply and dejectedly and
gradually brilliant scheme unfolded
itself. She would converse alphabet

Lahey glanced at her quickly, but
she seemed lost in abstraction.
