Truth of the Matter.

Our population is a shifting one,
many of those whom we see leaving
one country district have merely gone
to swell the country jewellers else
where. The facts observed are not
those habitually stated.
What is really happening is an ex-
traordinary uprising and growth OF
cities. We had 1894 cities in 1900,
In 1910 these had become 2,4O9, and
their inhabitants had increased from
thirty-one and half to forty-two and
half millions, a gain OF thirty-hve
per cent. If we look back thirty years
instead of ten we shall see 1,102 cities
become 2,409 and a population of a.
772,43S grow to 42,023.39S. This is
the spark OF fire behind so much
smoke. Rural population is growing
fairly well. but cities are growing by
leaps and bounds. Not an exodus from
the country, but the development OF
cities has been the phenomenon of the
generation.-Mark Jefferson. in the At
lantic.

"Horse Sense"

Was the sojourn of CULVER among
the Houyhnhnms a fable, after all?
The Society of Psychical Research
listened to a remarkable report re-
Gently upon the education of horses,
as conducted at Elberfeld, in Ger
many. Mr.. Krall, who acts as coach"
to a select number of the species,
brings his pupils to a remarkable pro-
ficiency, both in literature and math-
ematics. Their spelling shows a ten
dency to eliminate vowels, and they
have not yet extracted the square root
of anything beyond 144. But they are
able to write from dictation," and
they have the multiplication table
and more abstruse branches of arith-
metic at what, in other circumstances,
would be their fingers-end. The dele
gates of the Psychical Research So
ciety have seen these things for them
selves, and find that they are mot
in a position to give any definite so
luton of the problem" They seem
to have found at Elberfeld that the
thinking horse" Is not such a strange
variety, after all. And in these days,
when he only lags superfiuous upon
the stage of traffic, the leisure that he
will enjoy for an intellectual career
should enable his buried talents to be
uncovered to the fullest advantage

A Gracious People.

James Hazen Hyde, at dinner In
his Paris residence to Ambassador
Herrick, told me why he preferred to
live in France"
The speaker was New York girl
She continued
"Mr. Hyde said he preferred the
French because they were the most
gracious people in the world. He said
he once entered a cafe in Brittany
Concarneau or Pont-Aven-and had
a brioche and a cafe-creme and when
he came to pay, found that he was
two sous short.
THE landlady said it was all right
he could pay another time. Mr..
Hyde, as he was leaving, found some
more money in another pocket, and
was able to discharge his debt. after
all.
The landlady, as she accepted the
two sous, said she was very sorry to
do so.
but why?' demanded Mr.. Hyde.
because. monsieur said the land
lady, with a smile, as long as you
were my debtor, l was sure to see
you again, but now l am no longer
sure"

Sorry He Spoke.

Captain McTweed, a Scotsman to
the backbone. and, moreover. a dis
tinguished officer in a distinguished
Highland regiment, had an unbounded
admiration for his countrymen, and
never lost an opportunity of extolling
their virtues.
One evening at mess he was enter
tanning several guests, and at the con-
clusion OF the meal, as he and his
party were leaving the room, he hap
pened TO notice a magnificent speci-

MONARCH'S ONE GOOD WORK
Founding Of Greenwich, Still the
Worlds Greatest Observatory,
Stands to Credit of Charles u.

The first English observatory, and
still the greatest, is that at Green
wich, which was founded 23S years
ago by Charles ii. 1t was erected
on the summit of Flamsteed hill, so
called in honor of the first astrono-
mer-royal, John Flamsteed. The longi-
tude of all English charts and maps
is reckoned from this observatory,
and the captains of ships take their
time as given at one p. m. Longitude
is also reckoned from the meridians
of Paris, Washington, etc, but the
reckoning from the meridian of Green
wich is most general The first real
observatory in the world was erected
at Alexandria by Ptolemy Softer about
800 B. G. The first observatory in
Europe was founded at Nuremberg in
1472 by Bernard Walther. Tycho
Brahe's celebrated observatory was
built in 1876. The French Royal OBJ
servatory at Paris was established in
1867, eight years before the erection
of the English Royal observatory at
Greenwich, Kent. The first American
observatory was established at Will
liams college in 1886, and that at
Harvard four years later.-Milwaukee

APART FROM THE REAL WORLD
cunkcrs Preserve the PrImItlveness
o. Dress and ouIetude Of Living
OF the Founders.

The dress and customs OF the Dunk
ers are as primitive as their creed.
The men let their beard grow and
part their flowing hair in the middle
and wear SLOUGH hats and the plain
est of clothes. The garb OF the wom-
en- is equally plain and severe. There
are no milliners among them, for
each women makes her own hat,
simple matter, since no feathers or
other ornamentation is allowed, while
the wearing OF jewelry is strictly for
hidden.
However, the bunker women are
seldom wanting in comeliness. Their
faces are nearly always sweet and
gentle, while an afr OF almost saint
ly simplicity is given them by the
clear. starched cap, the handkerchief
crossed on the breast, the white apron
and the plain gray or drab stuff of
their dresses. The Dunkers live in
peace one with another, and never
have recourse to law to redress an
Injury done to them. Disputes among
themselves are settled by the elders,
whose decision is final, and only in
exceptional cases do they institute
lawsuits against the people of the
world. They are averse to accepting
public Office, and rarely, II ever, ex-
ercise the right of franchise. How
ever, the bunker ideal of personal
conduct is high one. They are tenn
perate to abstemiousness, industrious
and economical, and Carlyle's gospel
work is theirs.-From Wilson's Ram
bles in Colonial Byways.

USE THE VACUUM CLEANER
the Horses Toilet Is to Be Dis.
carded In the Future.

Good-by TO the currycombl The
born New Yorker may have his
doubts, but the boy or man who has
busted" eight or ten sweat-begrimed
or stall-littered equines at s a. m, be
fore he partook of his mornings allot-
ment of ham-and with coffee. can ap-
preciate this statement.
The vacuum cleaner is doing this
arduous work now, according to the
Edison Monthly. There was time
when father" put on his most an
cient overcoat when he groomed the
family Dobbin. This precaution mere
ly was to protect his store clothes"
Now he may take the tabloid edition
Of house cleaning apparatus and the
family horse will be shining in less
than no time.
The New York park department has
pointed the way Quite different from
the air that formerly indicated groom
ing time is the ventilation of the
stables at the hour of the vacuum
bath.
Horses do not stand in the confine-
ment of a crowded stall, nor do they
breathe back the dust that has been
scraped from their coats Instead they
are taken into the yard and curried
and groomed with vacuum outfit
that carries away all the dirt, hair
and dandruff.
There are nearly a hundred horses
belonging to Central Park. During
the day they work at all kinds OF
tasks-haul rubbish wagons, lawn
mowers, sprinkling carts, road rollers
and at night are CHARTERED in the
Tighty-sixth street stable. Some are
cleaned at night and some in the
morning, but all are ready to start
another days work at 7 a. m.
The animals are not vacuum-cleaned
daily, because at present there is
only one outfit, but each horse gets
his turn. and on the off days Is
rubbed down by the old-time method
The grooming set is a vacuum fan
directly connected with a one-sixth
horsepower motor. The fan revolve'
in an aluminium case, to which is at
tached by means of a long hose, thu
vacuum currycomb.
Needless to say, the horse is no
the only one who enjoys freedom
from dirty air-the hostler no longe
faces the risk of lung infection
through inhaling disease-breeding mi
crobes.
