IIKAl FA It I PASO TIm Kant Offerx Mntiy Inducement to PnK re.d A irricul tti-istK. From the Philadelphia Press. Tiie Baltimore Sun instances the recent sale of Mine Mary land farms at figures that appear ridiculously low. One farm of 154 acres, with dwelling and out buildings, was sold for $5e0, a tract of fifty acres was bought for 550 arid a nine-acre le went for As these lauds are situated conveniently to transportation facilities theprice may have been exceptionally moderate, but it is a well-known fact taat at the present time good, arable land accessible to markets can be bought at prices that place the possession of a farm within tiie reach' of thcusamls of families that have long desired to own such a means of support. This "fact is true of nearly every eastern state, Pennsylvania, Jersey, New -iork and New England o'fering examples as well ae Maryland.

The opportunity this cheapness of land offers far restoring ihe proper balance between urban and rmral population ought not to le lost. Thete lias idoubtedly been a disproportionate mcreast for a few years nat as with the country pup. da; ion. This flow from the farm to the rkshop is an invariable feature of prosperous times, just as a returning tide is noticeable in adverse times. In the ten ye-ais from 180) ISi'O thete was an average increase in the city population of the whole country of 4.S per cent.

Between lS7e anl and largely as the result of the panic of 1873, tne percentage of urban increase dropped to 5.64 per cent, but between lisO ami is.) this increase rese agin to 6.03 pr cent, on increase wholly unprecedented even in this country of rapid growth. This urban increase has not, however, bee-n evenly distributed over the whole country, but 'has been mu-'h greater in the North than in the Sjuth. and has been much more noticeable in the North Atlantic states than anywhere else. The consequence is a congestion of city population in Pennsylvania, New Jersey. New York and the New England states In the whole country the urban population, as shown by the census of 1x30, is 23.20 per cent of the total, but in the states mentioned 51.81 per ce-nt, or more than half live in cities of s.000 or more population.

The greatest objection to people living In the country is the supposed isolation of the life. Out it must be rememliered that a great change has been going on, and with particular force in ti.e past ten yeai s. that h.as brought many rural localities heretofore little accessible into easy touch with town and city. The growth of el -vtrio traction and the building of trolley lines far out into the country has removed much of the i sola im of rurai life. The certainty that this electric preigrti-s will continue should be taken into consideration by every one disposed to try farm life.

Another misapprehension to be removed is that it is necessary to so West if a I farming occupation is decided upon. The West undoubtedly has many opportunities i and for those who are willing to endure its hardships there are spendid chances. But there is riot an eastern state where i there is not an abundance of good land that can be purchased cheaply and which will return larger proms tor the same effort and outlay than western land will. It is intensive farming that pays best these days and which is destined to pay better and better as the country increases in Fanning is hard work and success in its requires pluck, perseverance and business capacity well as anytning else. But for tne same amount of effort it doubtless returns a more certain support and greater solid satisfaction than most any other manual calling.

All AliNcnt-Minded "Absent-mindedness is Bridegroom. a habit, and not a mental ue-iee-t, said ur. i k. Jot-elan. "The worst case of it 1 ever knew was a friend of mine who married.

He bad been in the habit of sleeping ia a room adjoining mine in bis bachelor days, but had furnished a idee cottage, and then, putting on his coat and hat, he came down town to his otnee, and about midnight I heard him enter his room. 1 went in and asked him what was the matter. Clapping his band to bis forehead, he started on a run for his home, leaving his hat and coat in his room. There have been a great many such instances in his career, and I am convinced that is entirely a matter of habit." Cincinnati Enquirer. DEATH AND MISKSY.

A. hectare of soil will pro-luce serials, fruit. arid vegetables in plenty for a single person; it also affords all toe necessary fodder for a horse, cow, pig and a dozen head of poultry. Who wishes tor more is a sybarite, an enemy of the common Of course nobody frequenting ibis rive s.ous-brasserie desires to be classed as "stuck up," and ail bail Graveile as a new Moses. Their acclamatory claptrap would have been less profitable than the noise produced with their empty book glasses, if the lectures had not attracted an oet-asioiial visitor to the Quartier It- in, M.

Auatole Gasvier of Cantal. This Gander is a gentleman farmer of immense wealth, whose landed estates are scatter ed ad over tne old province of Auvergne. He is either of a nhilesophical turn ot mind or burdened with too much of the good things of this world. Anyhow, after taking in Graveiie's rhapsodies for several morning, lie offered to give him a chance to practice his teachings by placing at his disposal a tract of land, ten hectars in circumference, with the necessary cattle, poultry and agricultural implements, provk'ed Graveile furnishes an iDuividual free-land tenant for each hectare. "Nothing easier than tliat." cried Graveile, tnd he proposed fur the "Colony Nature" four of his most intimate and, therefore most advanced friends.

A 11m-j sician, a scene painter and a brace of so-j called ologists, gentlemen who made the study of nature, the development of so-j ciety and social institutions their business while living on the bounty of charitably inclined fools of the GarvSer stripe. These will be the Adams of the new Eien and each promises to furnOdi, in time, a full-fledged Eve, who must hm sound, not given to fashions or otner indolent hobbles and a Cniistian, They are not required to belong to any church or congregation the Adams don't but baptism is irsisted upon so as to absolve the colony tctorehand of the ma of heathenism. "Will you introduce any form 0 -wor ship?" I a.Ked M. Graveile at the Moulin Rouge last night. 'In the 'Colony he answered pioudly, "ceremony will be entirely dispensed with.

The faithful performance of the Supreme Being's commands for the good cf our comrades and our own selves will be the adoration ottered to me. tie forest Is our temple, a grateful heart our reverence." The "Colony Nature" is to be established in the mountainous Ji te'ets of Basse- Auvergne, far removed from city, and even with proud o'd trees, vast corri-! fields, excellent hunting grounds and pic-j turesuue mountains. An army of natives is now busily engaged fencing in the i wished-for paradise without knowing what it all means. M. Garvier thought it wiser i not to acquaint them with the.

scheme, I seeing that the Auvergrress. though kind-I hearted and hospitable, are a very cld-1 fashioned lot. having not the least bit of i respect new sociology, new theology, arid up-to-dateness generally. The mod- ern Chinese wali is to be completed by 1 the fust of April, leaving but one open- 1 mg. tne latter lo be secured by a heavy iron door.

The portals are destined to I open onty for nature unadulterated and I to shut out all vestiges of civilization. The 15th of April will witness an 1m-! posing procession of domesticated ar.i- each kind one male and one female per capita of colonists, marching through the gate tattle, sheep, goats, pigs, dogs, cats, horses, and all sorts of i poultry, from turkeys to pigeon. Tbey are to be of superior stock and. once i within the ir.closure, will be turned loose and allowed to roam at will. Whether they will be permitted to promenade jn the cornfields and vegetable gardens which M.

Carvier's peasants laid out anl tilled for the benefit of the colonists to give them a start I could rot Hrd out. M. Graveile and his friends propose "to return' to the natural states," that is. to settle in the "Colony Nature" (with the 1 artificial fence around it) promptly May 3. Aside from a quantity of tobacco i neither men nor women will import as 1 much as a charge of linen into the new world.

Thev will take neither boeks nor firearms, neither slipper r.or rouge boxes, i Not a grain of quinine, rot a pound of sugar, not a flask of cognac dare pass I the lynx-eyed doorkeeper, that dignitary i being impersonated by M. Garvier who i has "an interest in seeing fair play. He 1 risks a small fortune the experiment tr. 1 will hold the colonists strictly to the bargain. Saia this gentleman recently at the religious museum: "I r.n- willing to accept Graveiie's doctrine: cf the nefarious influence of civil-1-ation, and that a return to the natural state alone guarantees health and h.ippi-nes.

The Colony Nature' starts with a tatOt.i! of men and women in perfect health, in a fair and ample country embracing forest and held, river and mountain, the dwelling place cf numerous do-meetieab-I anl wild animals. N'ow, if it be true that nature heirs itse'f, here is itg oppcr canity. Tne introduction of f.ny appurtenances of civilization, of medicine and sciences generally, would only delay observation and to a certah. extent spoil the practical test we are making. It is claimed by many that drugs undermine man's constitution that illness, of whatever nature, can -ba cured without them.

Mavbe the colomsts will find malaria rampant in their domain, and the weaklings among them will cry out tor ouinine. They will not it from the apothecary's if I can help it. Primeval man dosed himself with herb juice when he had fever. roy colonists do likewise, if need be." "Have you erected any house or houses within the inclosure?" "Not a bit of it," exclaimed M. Garvier; and he tvvs heartily seconded by Graveile in what follows: "The colonists will be cave-dwellers.

There are three great tiers in the moun tain overtopplnar the territory, and smalier ones for the cattle and animals. Thev will use them with protit." "Ah." cried M. Gavelle, "caves are the healthiest places in the world to i.ve In. In summer cool, free frm ht.niidity, abounding in that, delightful semi-darkness that is so agreeble to thev combine ail hygienic conditions. And every schoolboy wi 1 tell you fiat, in the miJs't of winter the temper.

ture of the tav always remaias six to degrees warmer than that of ordinary houses." I "And what ill you do 'or clothes?" "Rather ask, 'What will become of thts skins of the animals wo kill?" said Graveile. And, rubbing his fleshy hands, he continued; "We sheii have to kill ar good many, for our prospectus ays that each colonist is entitled to five pounds of meat per day.
