FROM FARM TO CITY.

Between 1871 and 1900 the pop ulation of Germany increased 15,- 100000 and the population of towns of 2,000 inhabitants and more increased 15,S00,000. The whole increase in the population oi the empire and little besides was in the towns. The percentage ot population which lives in towns in. creased from 36.1 to 54.3. The last census of the British islands showed the same growth of the urban popu, lation. The move from the farm tc the city is not peculiar to the Unit, ed States and it is not recent thing. Every one of our censuses has shown it. The farm is produc- ing only a small part of the time the factory can produce every day There is no indication of any change in social or industrial de- velopment that will reverse this flow of population cityward.

NO USE FOR A SHIRT.

A story is told of a brownie who assisted the people of Dolphiston in Roxburgshire, in threshing their corn. The farmer left an article of dress for him. which so offended him that he immediately quilted the place, saying:
 Sin ye've gi'en me a harden ramp,
 Ma mair O your corn will tramp.
 One of the principal characteris- tics of the brownie was his anxiety regarding the moral conduct of the household to which he was attached He was a spirit very much inclined to prick up his ears at the first ap- pearance of any impropriety in the ranks of his fellow servants. The least delinquency he was sure to re. port to his master, from whom nc bribe could induce him to concea the offense which fell under his no tice.-T. P.'s Weekly, London,

ENGLISH REPERTOIRE THEATER

Every one knows that as far as the plays and the actors are concerned there is no difficulty whatever in running repertoire theater. Nc actor who cared at all for his art would ever, if he could help it, ap. pear on any other sort of stage and as for the plays there is the whole literature of Europe to pillage, The real problem is to educate the pub- lie and that will be done, we be. lieve, with most success by a com. pany which is forced by hard neces- sity to take its public into its reck. onings. There are pork butchers rich enough to lure all the stars o1 Europe to play Aeschylus and Soph. ocles in the original tongue, but sub- sidized work proves nothing in the way of demand and rarely succeeds in educating the public.-London Daily News.

MADE THE GIRL SUSPICIOUS
Younq Man from the Country Was Just Little Bit Too Effuslvely
 Complimentary.

The young man from the country sat looking amazedly about him al the splendid coiffures of the women and girls about the room.
 Marvellous" he said softly to the girl next to him. q never saw any thing like it. Your hair now. Won derful, Wonderful! The girls ir the country don't grow such hail as that. 1 wonder why?"
 She put her hand quickly up tc her hair, then rose suddenly. ''Par. don me a minute," she implored and crossing the room she stood by a girl friend in the light of a single candle.
 Flake look at my pompadour, she whispered, "and see if the pad ding shows"
 "No," said her friend when she had looked. "Why?"
 Nothing" said the girl, ''only that young man from the country was so fawningly complimentary ot my abundance of locks it made me suspicious"

LACE JEWELRY.

Women who love lace and lace ef- fleets must be enamored of the lace jewelry made by French experts. It seems almost unbelievable that hu- man fingers could weave the fairy like collars these jewellers show With the finest threads of platinum they do what lacemakers do witf thread, These collars, delicately be. jeweled with pearls or rubies or dia monds or sapphires, are enough tc charm the money out of any wo mans purse.

SEEMED A JOKE TO SIAMESE
Natives Could Not Understand Why American Wanderers Wanted
 Sugar with Rice.

Harry A. Frank, in Harper's Weekly, gives an amusing account of his tramp through the Siamese jungles. The English authoritie- refused to let him leave Rangoon and deputed half-caste to accom- pany him and see that he remained within the town limits. But Frank and his companion made the half- caste drunk, eluded him and plunged into the jungle. At one village they excited the wonder of the natives by demanding sugar upon their rice. The head man mis- understood.
 When he understood that sugar was needed he called woman, who brought some in a joint of bamboo. "At the first mouthful," says the author, "such a roar of laughter went up from the assembly that l choked in my astonishment. The chieftain fell to shaking as with a fit, his advisers doubled up with mirth and aroused the whole com munity with their shrieks. Wild eyed Siamese tumbled out of the neighboring huts. Within two min- utes half the village had aocked into the room and the other half was bowling for admittance and a glimpse of those strange beings who ate their rice with sugar.

THE EARTH SHINES.

That the earth must shine on the moon even as the moon shines on the earth is obvious. To detect this light from the earth on the lunar surface and scientifically prove its existence is another matter. It is interesting to find that recent number of a French astronomical paper contains two photographs of parts of the moon illuminated by earth light. They were taken by M. Quenisset at the Juvisy observa- tory.

"HoHo" WAS A DETECTIVE.
Says Farmer Offered Him Free Rail.

to Sidn Affidavit,

W SiSu FNuIhdNtts
Guthrie Center, May IA. - In the
case of G. F. Kirtenbrinck VS.. the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific at the
present term of the district court, the
star witness for the defendant, sup
posed to be hobo turned out to be
detective by the name of L.. A..
Stringham in the employ of Young &
Co., secret service agents, Chicago.
Kirtenbrinck brought suit against
the Rock Island for $3.50 alleged dam
ages on injuries to cattle shipped
from Council Bluffs to Casey, Ia. Just
before leaving Council Bluffs with the
cattle, it is alleged, Kirtenbrinck met
a tramp and offered him pass, which
he accepted Upon their arrival at
Casey, the tramp helped Kirtenbrinck
to unload the cattle. The next morn
ing, it is alleged, Kirtenbrinck came
to the hobo with the following re-
mark: Nov, lad, since I have done
you favor, you do me a favor by
signing these papers" which the boy
did. The papers were an affidavit to
the effect that the. cattle were bruised
and otherwise injured while in transit
from Council Bluffs to Casey. The case
came to trial last Saturday and was
not long drawn out. Not until then
was the true identity of the hobo re-
vealed He appeared as witness for
the defendant and testified that the
cattle were not injured. The jury after
wrangling for over fifteen hours,
brought in a verdict allowing the
plaintiff 500.
