If we for the moment forget that

cash from the banks they eagerly
sought to exchange their bank books
for real estate deeds and mortgages.
During the last ten years of prosper
ity thousands Of small faramers not
alone in New England and the East,
but throughout the West and South
west as WELL attracted by the high
wages paid by the mills, factories and
railroads, left their farms and flocked
to the cities. They found plenty Of
work at wages which in comparison
with the cash earnings Of The farm

Farm boys and farm laborers were
swept cityward by the rush and the
problem Of securing help to put In the

farm laborers help had become so
scarce in some sections that many
farmers were giving up growing grain
crops and putting their lands to grass
Thousands Of farms were thrown on
the market because the owners could
not manage them alone and could not
secure help. The negro of the South
abandoned the plantation for the rail-
road and the mine and never since the
war has the Southern planter been so
harassed for lack Of help. The panic
quickly wrought a great change When
the mills and factories were shut down

The farming industry has been

Horse Meat Ms Fond.

Through the considerable increase in
prices of beef, mutton and pork
throughout the German empire atten-
ton has been drawn to the fact that
the use of horse flesh in that empire as
an article of diet is increasing. In
Berlin there are POO slaughter houses
Tor horses, and in The suburbs fifty,
employing In all about 1000 men.
n great delicacy in Hamburg and
one of the best known meat products
Is horsehesh sausage. The industry
has been in existence for about fifty
years land considerable quantities of
THIS sausage are exported as beef
sausage. Over 5000 horses are slaugbt-
cred every year in Hamburg for food.
Scientists claim that it is sentiment
alone which prevents horse flesh from
being sold in large quantities than 1t IN
at the present time. The flesh of the
horse, they state, IS more free from
parasites than beef or pork, and is
richer in nutriment.
In Berlin a short time ago a prom
lnent restaurant proprietor gave ban
quet to which he invited fifty of his
friends. AT the feast dishes of beef
and horse flesh were served and out of
the fifty guests present only six were
able to distinguish between the roast
beef and the roast horse.

Prof. A. Lawrence Lowell, of Boston,
newly elected president of Harvard
university, will succeed DIR. Charles W.
Eliot next May. The selection has met
with general approval because of Prof.
Lowelfs qualifications. He has already
shown rare executive ability as admin

rector of the Lowell Institute, and as
trustee of the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology. In scholarship he
has also attained international atten-

science. His personal fortune is rated
at more than million. and his lineage
is the best in New England. All of
these attributes, with a good athletic

on Oct. s, 1903, began to advertise for a
husband. She stated that she was 80
years old anGTgood booking, that she had
farm in the town Of Colburn, and money
in the bank at Boyd. She maintained
that if it became a custom for women to
advertise for husbands there would be
greater chances for happiness in married
life. because by this means woman
could get out of her narrow home village
or city sphere and search the entire world
for her affinity. Miss Livingston's an
nortlcement was printed in newspapers in
all parts of the United States, and some

proposals came from men in every walk of
life residing in the two continents. Dec.

finally decided upon Mr.. Struvans. a

Contrasts Between Winters of To-
day and Those of Long Ago.
good deal has recently been said
about the changing seasons the striking
contrasts between our winters and the
old-fashioned ones, the skating delights
that are gone, the trials of old settlers,
and so on. What are the facts? Is there
any scientific evidence of a change in the
character of our winters? Some time
ago the federal weather bureau publish
ed a compilation of official, private and
semi-official temperature data covering the
fifty years ended with 1904. The table
disposed of the theory of old-fashioned
winters. 1t showed, for example, that at
Cincinnati the mean winter temperature
for the years 1S79-1904 was rather lower
than that of the preceding twenty-fve-year
period. At Cleveland and st. Louis the
average for both periods was identical.
