The rush of population to the cities is truly one of the most serious menaces to our national life, but thus far no way has been found to check It It bad no existence until after the war. In 18 only about 12 per cent of the inhabitants of the United States lived in the cities. The war unsettled the minds of men who theretofore had iieet contented to remain in their homes, and accordingly the census of 1870 showed that fewer people continued satis fied with farm life, for the percentage of urban population bad risen to nearly 21 per cent Since then It bas stead Iy Crown until, in 1900, more than 33 of every 100 Ameri.-an were living in cities.

These conveniences are, nevertheless, purchased at the prtae of more or les of that sturdy independence which distinguished the pioneers, and of which George Carjr Kggleston bas given an attractive pic ture in "The First of the Uoosiers," which is in a sense the story of tbe life of his brother, Edward Egglenton. In the days of Edward Ecu les ton's boyhood the foremost citizen of Vevay, Ind., was Captain William Lowry. He had conquered hi worst enemy when he bad cleared the forest from such lands as be wished to till, and from tbe first he relied upon himself for tbe satisfaction of his needs and the needs of his family. The family grew np'si'.f ea famlliee usually did in thai ti' nd country; bat under tbe prim!ti ,ray of living the multiplication at cli'dren was a kelp rather than a tt&rance to pros perity.

In all bis life this sturdy pioneer never had a servant or hired helper of any kind in his bouse. All the work of the household was done by the members of tbe family working to gether in willing co-operation, making something of a frolic out of much of the work; and not one of them ever had work enough to bring more than a healthy and pleasant weariness. Tbe house was a generously hospit able one. Rarely came a time when there were not some of tbe numerous relatives staying there, as all of them loved to do. The place was a kind of Mecca tit them all. grangers were entertalted. too, whenever their paths led Into that region: but no presence, whether Jt visiting kinsfolk or of pass ing strat,prs, was ever suffered to make tbe smallest difference In tbe family llfs Whethet there were many guest or none in ttu bouse, there was always an abundantly laden table, and there were bed !y plenty.

How Animals Travel. American railroads have almost a many different kind of car for carry ing animals as they have car for pas senirerM One kind of car that Is used for ship ping horses is known techtXcally as a palace borne car, and, excepting for fine woodwork and brasswork, it la a palace car, giving horses fine accommo dations. Kach horse ha hU own stateroom, so to speak, for the car Is fitted with independent stalls. Each stall bas manger and water trough, and over-) head are racks for holding extra feedJ Sheep and hogs are often carried hi car with two stories. These are known as double-decker, and the animals ar shipped In both stories. They have room to lie down In and water Is sup plied to them from pipes. Horses and cattle are sidetracked at Intervals if the cars are making a long run, and tbe beasts are led out and al lowed to run around for exercise Then they are driven back to their cars and resume their Journey, Hbeep are often unloaded within a few milea of their destination and turned loose to rest and feed until they are In good flesh. Tbis 1 not don merely from motives of humanity. It ha been found that tbe sheep are so much Improved by It that tbey bring higher prices when tbey reach the mar ket LcBBnantda from Sea Water.

Tbe car is suspended eneath, being equally supported by ith balloons, and the driving t ro- M-ller is placed behind tbeir rear ends, ind half-way between them.

After forty years of agitation, led sy Liverpool merchants, the British tovernment has just sanctioned the ase of a weight of fifty pound in place of the standard 'hundredweight" ,112 poundsi, and "half -hundredweight" flfty-ix pounds). Tbe re form was demanded because the Im mense quantities of cotton, corn, to bacco and other American product anded at Liverpool were calculated by the sellers in pounds, while the buyers sere compelled to reckon In "hundreds-eights," which did not represent the 3 umber of pounds that the name 1m jlles. It is claimed that tbe reform will save a great amount of time ana mbor and prevent many error. It Is !so regarded as an entering wedge for the introduction of . the decimal fvxteni In England. A House Divided. Most persons have bad the expert- ?nce of walking wKh a friend out of jtep and trying to shift jut at the uoment when tbe friend also makes the attempt Tbis Is an Instance of thwarted harmony much like that which appears in a story, told by V.

So they were always lu a state of well -bred disagreement On tbe subject of meals tbey dis agreed thoroughly, and each usually lutrgested a dlh for the Sunday dinner which the other did not approve. One turday the man came home from market with a basket "You needn't worry about to-mor-ow' dinner any more, Maria. I've ot it" "And so have I, George. You were so undecided " "Undecided? I told you want I wanted." "Well, I mean you didn't decide as I did. Ho I lwught a goose." "Why, so have I. I told you I'd like a goose." "Weil, now we are agrevd for once, anyway." "Yes, and I suppose we'li have cold s.-oose ,nd stewed goose for tbe next two weeks." Tbey relapsed Into their usual si ;nce. Sunday forenoon the wife asked, "Iw fou want a little quince in tbe apple wuce with jour goose?" "Your goose, you mean."

For such a purpose a glass celling is, how e'er, not unique, and tbe notorious duchess of Cleveland bad u u anoth er constructed to gratify her vanitj . For a far different reason did a cer tain Yorkshire gentleman of the last ccuturv. mentioned by Mrs. Gsskell in l.er "Ufe of Charlotte Bronte." have hit ceiling paneled with mirrors.

These were chanced from time to time for others in hi collection, which in tbeir turn were contemplated with delight by the crippled connoisseur as be lay stretched on bis couch of pain. During a poln-e case heard a year back at Tottenham tbe proecutrix told the magistrate that she had taken the prisoner In out of charity and bad per mitted her to renmin. This the pris oner denied, sayitig that she paid 2 ld a week. "You only pitM 2" re torted the other, "and that is marked ou the ceiling." Thi novel idea of converting a ceiling Into a rent book evoked a roar of laughter In court. Ah eccentric Brighton -diigogue was wont to ue the ceiling of his schoolroom a a blackboard. It was covered with a casing of blackened and polished woI on wblcb the domi nie, by means of a long, chalk -pointed rod. used to draw geometrical figures and diagram while discoursing on the stibtleties of Eui lid. This unusual pro- feeding was but the practical appli cation of a quaint theory of his that the elevation of the pupils' eyes in duced harpnew of Intellect. Much annoyed at the barefaced man ner in which the photo of his friend and acquaintance that were scattered In profusion alwnit tu r'ti!, were ap propriated by bis many visitors, a gen tleinan well known In Parisian society hit upon tbe ingenious device of hav ing them affixed to the ceilings of his flat. Three large rooms are thus deco rated, and that callers, should they deire, may obtain a clear view of the portraits, opera glasses of special con struction are supplied. When in 18!3 Mile. Forrester gave a dance at her house in Pari the celling of the ballroom was so constructed that at given intervals It discharged upon the dancers a fine rain of white rose, cherry blossom, Jockey club and other scents. This pleasing surprise was likewise prepared for bis guest by a wealt!dJft'.uKlnn nobleman, who, however, beijiiteried tbe effect by hav ing tbe ceiling exquisitely painted with tbe flowers whose essences descended upon those lieneath.
