NEW ENGLAND FARMS
,FOllR THOUSAND DESERTED AND
GOlNG TO RUIN.
-' Left by the Owner: to (nu-«less Tenants——
A Scheme to .L'quluu: 'lhrm “ml
Needy and Dcserviug Persons iron: the
llvcrplus of the Great Cities.
There are in New England 4,300 aban-
;loned farms, the value of which has
sunk to a minimum, and yearly the
I number of neglected acres, once fruit-
ful and the homes of the best and most
patriotic stock in America has known,
is increasing to such an extent that a
sl‘actiCable and immediate applicable
remedy is looked for.
Sixty years ago there was scarcely a
vacant farm in all New England, and
there were very few that were not cul-
tivated by the owners. They were ver-
itable homesteads, where one family
had lived for generations, and where
the head of the house was the sturdy,
hard working man of integrity, com-
mon sense and uncommon shrewdness,
who has been passing away for a half
century, and is seldom seen except in
literature and the drama. His successor
is the tenant, with no sentiment to bind
him to the land, and very often hill
absence means acres returning to their
original condition, and houses and
barns falling into decay. All through
New England are farms wrested from
the forest by the axe, which for gen-
erations have been gone over year after
year with scythe, and where again the
sound of the ax is heard as it fells the
timber that neglect has allowed to
grow.
Why are these farms vacant? There
are in New England 235,000 acres of
land, once under a. high state of culti-
vation, that have been strangers to the
plowshare for years. Why are they
abandoned? This question has been
asked by railway managers who look
for business in the transportation of
‘ farm products and by men interested
; in the science of social economies, with
i - a View to-philanthropy, to which some
profit may incidentally be attached.
“Farming does not pay,” the son of
the sturdy New England farmer tells
' us. If it does pay at all, it pays best
' on the rich stoneless prairies of the
West, many who have gone there tell
us. Thousands born and reared on New
England farms have taken Horace
Greeley’s advice and gone West. They
left no one behind interested in the
farm. Father and mother have finished
their work, and the children have left
the old homestead to strangers; or
worse, to the elements. Tenants inter-
ested only in the crops have taken their
places, very often a. care-taker to look
after the buildings is left, and often
there is an abandonment, and sumac
and fern thrive unmolested where
once valuable grain was planted,
raised and harvested.
The urban population has increased,
while the rural has decreased. The
daughters of the New England farmers
have preferred to marry city men, the
sons have gravitated to the centres of
population, and the old farms have
been abandoned. They have become
nearly worthless, but none wants them.
The selling prices of land have been
cut in two, three and four .times. The
falling off in the rural population has
meant fewer, to. support, the:ha.mlets
and cross road settlements have suf-
fered, the miller, the storekeeper and
the blacksmith have been, through ne-
cessity, carried by the human tide to
the city.
The beginning of an effort to change
the present conditions has been inau-
gurated by a. realty company, and its
promoters lay great stress on the phll~
lanthropic side of their venture.
“Is it not strange," said the presi-
dent of the company, “that there
should be.92,000 unemployed men in
New York City and tens of thousands
of acres of fertile land within a. few
hours’ journey, where honest, health—
ful employment can be had that will
give a hapDY, comfortable living, with
a market for the products of labor
within easy reach? These abandoned
acres should be for these men. Many
of them, with a. little money, who are
actually struggling and suffering here,
could be really happy and comparative—
ly'independent on a. little farm right at.
our door, in Connecticut, or a little be—
yond in one of the other New England
States.
“Then, with the country districted
off, a practiced farmer could look after
the farms, give instructions as to crops,
fertilizing, harvesting and marketing.
The doing of this very thing may be
the beginning of a. reaction that will
draw people from the congested cities
to rural life and pursuits, build up
farming communities and so re-estab—
lish villages and thus bring about the
increased prosperity that we all wish
for and talk so much about. If peo-
ple once get the idea that this sort of
a. thing is going to happen and realize
that they will be happier and more
independent on the broad acres than in
the narrow tenements, there will be a
~ush for the country, andi’the New Eng-
land farms will again blossom and
bloom with vegetables, grain and
fruit!”-—-New York Herald.
Mrs. Ingersoll‘s flour for a Nap.
This story was told an exchange by
an intimate of the Ingersoll family.
Very recently Mrs. Ingersoll spent an
evening with a friend. At about 8
p. m. she began to give evidences of
fatigue and yawned repeatedly and
had the greatest difficulty in prevent-
ing herself from falling into a doze.
Arousing herself with an effort she
finally said: “You really must ex—
cuse me, but you know. dear, that I
have accompanied the Colonel on a re-
cent lecture tour, and have in conse-
quence got into the habit of falling
asleep at about 8 o'clock every eve-
ning.” Which goes to show that no
man can be an oratorical hero to his
Wife. ' '
" CUBAN MAIDS AND MATRONS.
Old-Time Restrictions Nu Lunar-r
1 served in Havana xncia-Iy.
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Springer, “has:
husband was attached to only legal-
tion in Havana, has excellent opjnl‘n —
critics of observing society in C:.;;-l.
0'.)
.' and in Leslie’s Weekly she tells some-
thing about the maids and lll.lt‘.‘0:'.3 of
the “Gem of the Antilles."
Slender, graceful Cuban maids. with
smoothly plaited tresses. black as the
raven’s wing; large, lustrous, dreamy
black eyes; clear, pale complexion, rc—
Esembling the waxen tint of the lily,
have their pretty heads filled with
dreams of love before they quit the
schoolroom. ,
The strict watch maintained over
the tender buds, the castiron rules of
etiquette which prohibit them from
too great an indulgence in athletic
sports or outdoor life, which a North—I
ern maid enjoys, precludes romantic
ideas, and, rendering her less suscep—,
tible to the tender passion, which is'
fostered by a secluded existence, may
be the reason why Cuban girls look.
forward to matrimony as a release:
from these irksome bonds. The ro-l
man-tic manner in which courtship is)
carried on tends to keep alive their
illusions, for lovers usually walk up,
and down before their lady love’s,
dwelling, like a sentinel on duty, be—§
cause they are debarred from callingi
on a. maiden until formally engaged:
and then they can only see her in the;
presence of the family or exchange}
tender nothings under the Argus eye;
of a. mamma, who keeps a stricti
watch over her offspring.
Many years ago no gentleman was:
permitted to touch a lady’s hand, but;
he would bow deeply before her; While:
nowadays shaking hands is even more'
common than among our own people;
It used -to be the height of impro—}
priety for a bride to be seen until the
expiration of eight days after the wed—
ding, and she would keep in strict se-
clusion during that period; while now
the bridal couple do not shun society.
One of the customs still prevalent is,
that no gentleman can escort a may
as far as the next corner, although
his hair were snowy white, if she
were not a. member of his own fam-
ily. However, greater intercourse
with foreign nations, more extended
travel—for Cubans are cosmopolitan—k
have tended to modify many of their
customs. There is a peculiar feature,
in Spanish law which favor-s loversl
Provided a suitor can support a wife)
no matter how low his social condi-l
tion, and how inferior to that of the}
girl he loves, if she is Willing to mar-’
ry him in spite of her parents’ oppo-,
sition, he can appeal to law, the judge‘
removes her from her own home to a
friend's house and the marriage takes
place. {
Divorce is unknown in Cuba, be-'_
cause the Roman Catholic church does?
not sanction divorce, although separa—
tion is allowable in extreme cases}
However, neither party can re-marry;
until death releases the survivor. J
Henry Clay's Fume Abroad.
R. Hall McCormick, a wealthy Chi-
cagoan and .a Bar Harborite, and an
earnest searcher after art treasures,
relates thefollowing anecdote which
came under his personal experience
while straying through a. London art
gallery on his recent tour abroad.
While gazing at a large oil pain-ting
of Henry Clay, a passing employe of
.the gallery stopped and Mr. McCor-
mick, in order to start a conversa-
tion, said quizzically: “Can you tell
me, sir, whom does this picture repre-
sent?” - ‘
The attendant, realizing that his
questioner was an American, replied
in a. rather pedantic manner: “Why,
sir, do I understand, you,to mean that
you don’t know who that ’ere is?
Why, sir, that’s ’Enry Clay, sir.”
“Henry Clay,” repeated Mr. Mc-
Cormick, with a merry twinkle in his
eye, “why, I never heard of him.
Who is he, pray?”
“Why, sir,” ejaculated the pitying
Briton, “and you don’t know ’Enry
Clay, ’nd you an American, sir. Why,
'Enry Clay’s the man what makes the
.cigars, sir," and with a contemptuous
frown the attendant went about his
business—Bangor Commercial.
Fuel in Japan.
The dust of charcoal is gathered up
and mixed with the chaff from the
wheat, barley, and other grains, and
with chopped straw in Japan. It is
then moistened into a paste, rolled in-
to balls about .as big as a billiard-
bnll, and makes excellent fuel.

lice protection out your way?

A False Alarm. :
There was something in his manner
that led her to think he was about to
propose. So she murmured: “I think
that every woman craves some strong
nature upon which she can loan in an
emergency.” :
His face became white.
“What is the matter?” '
“I thought,” he gasped, “that you
had already been taught to ride your
bicycle."—Washington Star. .=
