What changes have taken plaeo s those days are patent to all who use t sight and hearing, and they may be rea divided into four classes: (1.) Extent and character of our pop tion. (2.) Methods of farming. (3.) Our trade relations, both inters and international. (4.) The conditions of rural life. Our population has increased in the fifty years from seventeen millions to 0 sixty-two millions, while the populatio our cities has increased beyond all pro tion to the general increase throughout country. The age of steam and electric of speculation and monopolies, with op unities for accumulation of wealth ne before dreamed of, has 'drawn fro,n reatthful, peaceful and reasonably pros rus occupation of agriculture many of grainiest of our young Americans, nany who, without being exception ifted, have yet been readily persuade( i tbandon the certainty of moderate well - ng in the country for the delusive chair rf fortune in the cities, Their places h Teen largely taken by foreigners in ma hates, and the result has been that in haracter, although not in ratio of increa he farming population has changed nu<h as that of our cities. The most remarkable changes in haracter of our agricultural populat sill ,be found in the'occupation and ossession by private owners of every f f land available for tillage. From se ropicol Florida to the State of Washi on, from the lakes and forests of Maine he orange groves and vineyards of south alifornia, every acre of land, save what bsolntely untillable or necessarily devot the forest and the mine, will be taxed apply the needs of three, if not fo undred millions of people, who will don as be then, as now, the wealthiest an ast self-denying of any people in t oris. More bushels of wheat will ceded to supply our own people wi read than our present average yield ern, which means three and a half tim ore than last year's crop, the largest b re of any wheat crop ever harvested to United States. Irrigation will be pra ed as a matter of course,wherever wat obtainable, and millions of acres no rproductive will yield rich harvest American farmers will supply America consumers with half a millions dollar e; worth of sugar, whether cane, sorghum, beet; the demands of our home markets f meat and dairy products will be m by a system of care and feeding wilco will convert the now commonly accepte ratio of four acres to one cow into sem thing more like for cows , to one acr 1 Science, aided by necessity,will have solve s the problems of feeding, so as to a cure the maximum result for th minimum feed ; waste products will b Skin utilized in a hundred ways not now dream ed of, and we can readily realized tha besides the increased yield due to a bette t understanding of plant life and culture and to the remedies for the prevention o the injuries, whether by disease or insects whereby agriculture to -day loses hundred of millions of dollars yearly, the applicatio every acre of our vast territory to th particular uses for which it is best adapte will add immensely to our aggregate pro ductiveness. What the worth of land will be in thos days no man can venture to estimate ; bot of one thing we can all rest assured, an that is, that the richest„ inheritance a mar can leave to his grandchildre n and thei immediate descendants will be a farm o many broad fertile acres in the United States of America. The national evolution of agricniture, under. its changed and changing conditions, involves a survival of the fittest, which will necessarily relegate poor formers–I use the word "poor" in the intellectual sense–not, let us hope, and I truly believe, to the level of the English agricultural laborer, but to the condition of a thrifty peasantry, owning their own homes, with perhaps a few acres of land, but depending principally for support upon wages earned by laboring for others, In my opinion, the changes in our methods of farming in the future will be brought about by a wide knowledge and application of scientific principles. I do not think it probable that farm implements will be improved very much, although doubtless on the larger farms means will be deviser] to perform certain operations by electricity or steam. Nor do I lay any stress upon the possible revolution in methods of farming anticipated by those who think that the rainfall may be con- trolled by explosives, a theory which will, long before the tilne of which I write, have been itself thoroughly exploded and given a place among the curiosities of so-called scientific investigation, in company with its twin absurdity, the flying machine. There be some change in our methods, ow- ing to a differentiation of farming pur- poses 'brought about by the demand for new products, and by the necessity, in order to make farming profitable, of pro- viding for the home demand all that our soil and climate can produce, ' and by the devoting of certasn sections, and even of certain farms, to those pro- ducts for which they may be especially apapted. Such specialization will be ren- dered more and more easy as the cost, if not the difficulty, of transportation is re- duced. Our means of transportation have been so greatly increased during the past twenty-five years that it is very difficult to Imagine their being carried much further; but means will doubtless be found by which the coat of carriage may be greatly reduced, with corresponding facility and ease in transportation. Our trade relations, -pro- bably, will not exercise so great an influence in the ehk,nges of the future as they have Bono fn the, past.

"We have met with great lofts," said Aunt l>;ltza. "Evelyn had always fancied he* -sol( the heif'ess of her father's extensive estates in Virginia. Now, by a cruel and unexpected lawsuit, as we learn front a letter received this morning, we are thrown out of our property, and find tnrselvoe penniless." "Lawsuit 1" repeated Paul. "The judge has decided that the Silver Hill estates should have belonged to some one else these twenty years," sobbed Aunt Eliza, "and there is ever so much accumu- lation of rents to be paid over, and we are vert -poor. So there is an enid of your boy and giri preferences, Mr. Otway." • "Why can't I marry Evelyn just the same 1" "Why I" repeated the spinster. "Because you have nothing to live on." Paul was somewhat staggered by this remarkably plain and lucid statement of affairs. "I don't think I have got much money," said Paul, dubiously, "but I can earn plenty, I suppose," Mfss Eliza shook her head incredulously. "But you'll let are see Evelyn about it ?" pleaded Paul, and so, three minutes after- ward, Evelyn came down, her eyes drench- ed and her pretty cheeks crimsoned. "Don't be discouraged, darling," coaxed Paul, with a radiant face, "I've got a splendid idea—two of 'em ! First, I'll thrash the fellow that has cheated your pro. perty away from yon—" " Paul !" interrupted Evelyn, "we have no right to doubt the justice of the de- eis Ori.' "I'll thrash the rascal all the same," per- sisted Paul, "and then I'll have old Frey• burn sue him to get it back again ; that's the first idea." "Rather impracticable," said Evelyn, smiling in spite of her distress. "Mr. Otway, sale" Paul turned abruptlyon the colored wait- er at his side. "Gentleman in the parlor, salt, inquirm' arter Mr. Otway." Oh, hang the gentleman in the ar- lor !" p "(id, Paul, go," pleaded .Evelyn, and Paul reluctantly obeyed, waiting, however, until the servant had vanished to steal a goolby kiss from Evelyn's lovely crimson cheek. "Why, hallo, .Freyburn, his is never you !" The little old lawyer was walking up and down the floor, with his hands be- hind him, as Paul Otway entered. He smiled. "I have come up, poste haste, Mr. Paul, to congratulate you." "Congratulate me! Why, how on earth did you hear of it? We were only engaged last night." "What are you talking about ?" "Evelyn." "And I am talking of an entirely differ- ent subject, if yon will only do me the favor to listen." "Then fire away," composedly returned Paul. , I am here to congratulate yon upon the successful termination of the suit at law which has placed you in possession of the magnificent Silver Hill estates." "Silver Hill !" shouted Paul. "You don't say I am the rascal that had defrauded Evelyn Bryant out of her property !" The lawyer stared. "Miss Bryant was certainly the name of—" "Then it's alt right !" helloed Paul, throwing the lawyer's hat into the sir and catching it on his boot.

The difference is not al- waye, perhaps in the line of improvement, But in the main, and its most important features, I believe the conditioue of rural life to have changed less in the past half century than the other features of farming to which 1 have referred ; for, while far• ming implements have been practically rev- olutionized, while our methods of farming, as, for instaaoe, in dairying, have under- gone marked change, while our population has increased, and the trade in our agt'i• cultural products have developed beyopd ,the most imaginative' conceptions of the farmer of fifty years ago, many of the ooh. ditions of rural life, including, I am sorry to say, many of those which are its peiuci- pal drawbacks, still remain, There is to -day almost the same isolation, for example, as compared with the life of town or city, the same unceasing round of labor, beginning with the dawn and scarce ending with the dark ; our country roads are little, indeed, I may say, no better, and school and church facilities in the country districts are not much greater than they were. Now it is in these very conditions that I leek for, perhaps, the most morked change to occur in the agricultural life of the future. ! In the first place, the average size of our farms will be considerably less than now. There will be large farms, no doubt ; but under such a modernized system of agricul- ture as will unquestionably prevail a hun- dred years hence, what will be a large farm then would not be regarded as a particularly large farm at the present day. Moreover, for reasons which I have already indicated, there will be a very much greater number of small fauns than now, not only in the neighborhood of cities, but in all those sections where irrigation is practised. The result of this will be a greater concentration of population even in the rural districts, and hence far less isolation than exists at present, and this isolation will be still further diminished by good, smooth, well. kept roads, bordered with handsome shade trees, and available for travel at all seasons. With such a dense population as we shall then have, electric motors will be establish- ed, without a doubt, along many of the principal roads, extending out several miles into the country from every town or city of any consequence. The telephone will be found in every farmhouse, and should the present Postmaster -General be privileged to revisit the scene of his earthly labor, he will find his dream a'reality, with a ru- ral mail delivery which will carry mails daily to every farmhouse in the land. The residents of the country will vie in cultuie and education with the corresponding classes in the cities, while, with the disap- pearance of the many inconveniences which now pfejudice the wealthy against country life, -the business and profe-ittsional men will look forward to the acquisition'of wealth as eeeneans of securing n home in the country, where they can end their days in peace and comfort. No one questions the healthfulness of country life,. and its many advantages so far as physical well-be- ing is concerned over the city, and when the country home is equal in comfort and culture to that of the city, no argument will be needed to prove its superiority to the latter.

Luigi Crispi, eon of ex Premier Crispi, Rome, has been sent to prison for misusing his father's name to obtain money and for seething large amounts from Rome tradesmen under other false pretenses. • Luigi Crispi has led a dissolute life for years, and at various timee his father has been obliged to pay sums amounting to 50,000 lire to save the young man from the coned quances of his dishonest and spend– thrift habits. For the last 18 months young Crispi ham been living with a t°ope•dancer from Milan. She has lived at his expence in magnificent apartments, where occasinally she has entertained his friends in regal style. Recently the ex Premier became tired of ,paying the bill 'contracted for this establish- ment at the rate of a thousand or two lire monthly besides giving his son a Iiberal allowance and hence warned all tradesmen with whom his son dealt. When crowded to a corner by the effect of this warning, young Crispi is said to have signed, his father's name 'to papers which would relieve him of this curtaillnent'of means. When these• sots were discovered the ex -Premier told•thattradesmen involved to proceed at law, and 11e would interfere only to avoid publicity much as possible. All the proceedings in the case bave been conducted with all possible seoreoy,and Igo mention of trial _or sentence has appeared in Rome dailies. 0 GIVES STRENGtII AND' APPETITE.

"But look here, Mr. Freyburn," said Paul, "I want the whole estate settled right back on Evelyn." "And, Mr. Freyburn, I want you to understand that I won't take it," iuterpcs- ed Evelyn.
