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 news.

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.” J RUSKEXESS A CRIME IN NOR mandyj An Americau newspaper corres pondent travling iu Nonn/iudy stops at a country tavern ;fiuds the native beer sold there, at 6 cents a quart to be “dark sweet bitter.” In the parlor he rfeads a card . on th« wall, detailing the law of that lan.d against intoxication: After two formal condemnations for ecaudtUbus jmd pifblic drunk enness(niere cohimittals do not count) the offender,,ipso facto in curs the following disabilities:(l) Loss of his vote, (2) may not he voted for, (3) may “not serve on a juryj.(4)may uot exerqise any ad inihistrative faculty (such as act i ig as executor of a will ).(s)lopses the right to carry arms.
