Attracted by Cities.

From many points Of view the cap
ital appears to ba Mecca to the
average farm laborcr. His wages will be
better, his lodgings more comfort able,
or, at any rate. he thinks they will be,
while if he is ill., or an accident should
happen to him he is cared for at no eI-
pense to himself. But while the wages
he receives are larger, he forgets to
take into consideration the increased
cost of living, and although after q
brief sojourn he is disillusioned, he
still fatuously hangs on, Micawber-
like, waiting for better things to turn
up.
All ills. fortunately, have their rem
edies. The first thing, therefore, to
he done is to ascertain the condition Of
the farm laborers, and this will go
far 10 easing the congestion Of the
towns. There can be no doubt that
the small holdings idea has proved a
failure, and it duly remains for the
government to formulate some scheme
BY which inducements can be held out
to the farm laborer so that he will bo
content TO remain in the agricultural
districts.

Leave the Farms.

This, however. is only one side Of
the question: another and, even more
dangerous side is the steady depopula
ton ,of the agricultural districts, fol
the farm laborcrs do not confine their
migrations to Paris alone; the same
state of affairs prevails in nearly
every provincial town, while the mining
and manufacturing districts also claim
their quota.
1t is quite conceivable that the at
fractions of town prove irresistible to
the average farm laborer, for time
at any rate: he probably had had a
glimpse of the gaieties of the. capital
while doing his military service, but
until quite recently this glimpse was
all-sufficieDt. He was perfectly con-
tent to return to the form and i've on

Special Cable TO The Tribune.
PARIS. April 27,--France generally,
and Paris especially. is confronted with
problem familiar to Americans
problem which. incidentally, has been
growing more serious every year. On
the one hand the country is threatened
with the overpopulation of the towns.
and on the other hand there is a con
stant drainage Of farm laborers from
the agricultural districts, The evil has
been steadily growing, and the govern
mcnt, occupied with other matters, has
temporarily shelved this question, but
it has now become so all important
drastic steps will have to be taken be-
fore worse befalls.
Judging by the most conservative
estimates, the annual influx to Paris
from the provinces is between $4,000
and $4,000, and as the number of work
men S dwellings has only slightly in
creased in the past few years, the diff
ficulty of finding house room for these
newcomers is rapidly becoming serious.
Need Workmen Dwellings.
According TO the Mopiteur Indus
trial. Paris alone. at the present mo-
ment, is sorely in need Of 900 work
mems dwellings capable Of housing be-
tween 500 and 600 inhabitants apiece,
as according to their figures there are
$4,000 persons in the French capital
who are badly housed. Other authori-
ties state that these figures under
estimate rather than overestimate the
number of workmen 8 dwellings which
are needed, and they furthermore point
out that owing to the enormously en-
hanced cost Of land, and the increased
cost of living, which has risen, there is
no immediate prospect Of solving the
difficulty.
Mr.. Bertillon has stated that no less
than one-tenth of the inhabitants of
Paris are living in rooms without air
and without light, This in itself is
deplorahle, but when, in addition to
this, house rent, especially in the poorer
quarters, has increased enormously, 1T
will readily be seen that the steady and
continuous influx Of provincials still
further aggravates an alrendy critical
situation.

Just then a real tramp" hove in sight,
bound outward. a foul looking craft with
splotches OF red and black paint daubed
on in any old way. Even at that distance
one could almost see the safety pins hold
ing vest and coat together.
Suddenly its whistle began to emit I'M
earthly shrieks. They are calling for
help" 1 almost shouted. in excitement.
But they laughed and explained that her
pilot, seeing us bound in. was inquiring
whether any one on board was willing TO
relieve him, so that he might so home with
us.
This is truly typical of the kind OF EEL
lowship that exists among the pilots They
are always ready to make things easier for
the other fellow. A man volunteered at
once, and We blew a few whistles to notify
the pilot that relief was in sight.
The duty the pilot boats hate most is the
reserve duty that keeps five OF them on
board the station boat for week as
reserve force In case the fifteen pilots en-
the other steamboat and the twelve on the
schooners are all used up in one day by
incoming vessels. But they seldom get
chance to take a ship In, because the Office
gets out a sufficient number of men each
day to bring the required number OF men
on the steamboat up to fifteen and on each
OF the schooners up to six. So the reserve
men have TO stay day after day, Just in
sight of the city. with nothing to do but
read and play p:nochle--no place to walk
but up and down the narrow deck. They
hate it: but oh. what some Of us city
bound workers would give In these lazy
spring days for chance at that reserve
duty!
