"It will be a sad day for our national life," says the
toard and it is right "when all the young farmers move
to town and the small, well-cultivated homesteads give way
to big landed estates."
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

inhabitants of the United States lived in the cities. The
war unsettled the minds of men who theretofore had iieet

Country life and city life to-day are
made delightful by countless conven
ience and luxuries of which the
did not dream. 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

tbe exception of salt, coffee, tea, and,

women folks.

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

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.

so to speak, for the car Is fitted with

Sheep and hogs are often carried hi

as double-decker, and the animals ar
shipped In both stories. They have

Horses and cattle are sidetracked at
Intervals if the cars are making a long
run, and tbe beasts are led out and al

they are driven back to their cars and
resume their Journey,
Hbeep are often unloaded within a

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
