? LIFE AT ITS BEST Advantages of Dwelling in Country Town. City Man Knows Nothing of the Sweet Contentment That Is the Lot of the Resident of Rural Places. Observing the inconveniences and sometimes discomforts of city life, some of the brethren of the country press are taking a snot ai ui? cuy ' dweller and emphasizing the fortunate position of the citizen who contrives to spend his life in some quiet town \>f the country, says a writer in tile Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The | counti'y gentleman never cares whether the street cars run or not; he is , not concerned with the electric light plant or the water supply, having his reliable1 kerosene lamps and a good well in working order for emergency use. He is not afraid that 400,000 of his townsmen will run out of coal at once and freeze to death, because the old grove on the east forty is capable of furnishing his fuel should his supply of five cords of sawed and split wood that he has in his woodshed be -? fonrn come uepieieu. uvea ovmj uum the mass, and his small wants are not pushed and crowded by the small l wants of hundreds of thousands of ft other people. He feels that if there I is anything that he really needs that he does not possess, he can go out and procure it any morning without much trouble, and he is generally quite right about it. Charles M. Eorton, of Hadley, N. Y., cites the cases of the city and the country citizens in a recent issue of Collier's Weekly. Writes Mr. Horton: The man who started the back-tothe-farm movement had something! The man who shouted "Back to na*ture," said something; The advice was directed at city dwellers, of course, * because folks who 'were living out of the cities already did not need It. He takes up the case of the $25 a week married man, who hardly exists in the city, and shows what he is accomplishing in the country town: A clerk in the store here gets $25 i a week, owns his own home and a I. boat on the lake and a jitney, goes ft hunting in the north woods in the fall, fishes evenings and days off without f number, picks berries, kills his own b6ef in the fall, raises his own pigs, has a piano and a library and a silver service and linen, modern pictures on . the walls, good rugs on the floors, misl si on furniture around the rooms, twin ft beds; a dog, two cats, a bear rug, low & ceilings, plain wall paper, electric flxr tures?everything, in short, that the U(jr uyvciici ua>, ui wauio, uui ?.au t have?and he is a clerk in a grocery store at $25 a week. And he had these things when he was getting $18?six months ago, before he got a raise? had more, in fact, because he owned a trotting horse that could go some; this animal has since died. The writer himself was beguiled from the country to the city under the cmmon belief that the city is the only {dace for the man of ambition who would go far. He had brains, in a measure; he had money, in a measure, and then he tossed the whole thing up in the air and made back for the conntry, where he now exists in contentment And when one sees city folk bedeviled and harassed and bepinched by every human want living from hand to mouth, and worrying le4t some necessity of existence be cut off by some whim of man or vagary of fate, one is inclined to give the argument of the country citizen large value and credence. J Carnegie Doubly Interested. One more statue was unveiled, recently, of the immortal Robbie Burns, this time in Boston. Andrew Carnegie spent much of his holiday time in Scotland, and divided it between dedicating free libraries, opening church organs, and unveiling Burns statues. Meeting Mr. Carnegie at a St Andrews dinner in New York, a braw Scot but recently come over said, "Mr. Carnegie, I would like to shake you by the hand; you unveiled a statue of Bobbie Burns last summer in my home town." "Aye," said Mr. Carnegie, after a pause, "that would be Montrose, the only place I ever had anything to do with a Burns statue that 1 didna pay for. On that account I'm doubly pleased to meet you."-?Chris> tian Science Monitor. i ' " Modest Linguist Prof. Robertson of Louisville has ? published a little book of his own on the Greek of the New Testament, a book weighing more than eight pounds and containing 1,540 closely printed napes Tn thA nreface Prof. Robertson apologizes for his small linguistic attainments. He is not, he says, a specialist in the Semitic tongues, though he knows Hebrew and Aramaic and can use Coptic and Sanscrit. He knows Latin, Greek, French, German and Anglo-Saxon, but beyond those languages only Assyrian, Dutch, Gothic i and Italian are to be added to his "modest linguistic equipment." k Cement's Adhesion Iron. ^ Hie adhesion of cement \ iron that gives strength to reinforce concrete HB is found by Vasilesco Karpen to be unwB like the gluing effect of mortar on wf bricks.
