There is"' one point of daily
newspaper evolution whicn tb«
morning press never dares to
di«cuss. It is the fact that the
great mass of readers, have no
time to read a morning issue. The
I evening paper has the best field
by all odds ; for what doth it prof
it a man to publish a haper in the
morning if the people perversely
won’t stop their avocations in the
forenoon to persue it? They insist
ou doing their reading in thq eve
ning; hence they naturally porter
jto take the evening paper, con
taining today’s news, rather than
the morning one with yesterday’s

I have recently referred to' the
happy content of the peasant farm
er land owners of France, who
I . L
earn a competent support on three
or five acres of ground. These
peasant farmers of France are the
most independent and happy mor
tals I have yet found on earth.
They live in attractive cottage
I homes, with plenty to eat and
wear, little disturbed by panjcs of
stock exchanges or changes of gov
ernment. They are never without
ready money.
It was the peasant farmers of
France that furnished President
Thiers with millions with which to
pay the German indemnity, and
de Lesseps the colossal sums he
sank iu his impracticable Panama
scheme. .
Let real estate study the
rural conditions of France with a
view of introducing their most de
sirable features to this country.
Rural France is an object lesson
for America. Why should not the
creative genius of Americans even
improve on these admirable exist
ing, conditions, in France?
Present rapid transit city lines
could be extended fifty miles if
necessary through avenues of small
farms, furnishing accessible mark
ets for their products and business
for their trade centres, and at the
same time deprive country life of
isolation and supply social features
lacking in far off sections.”
