Back to the Farm. Things on the farm are changing, and ee already observe. If we watch the barometer of social life, that there If a tendency to get tack to the ebontry. Fifteen years ago. for Instance, leas than 60 per cent, of the population were moving country ward; In 1900 the statistics show that 70 per cent were seeking home* in rural districts, ai la likely that the proportion now log away from the city reaches 76 per cent, says Opportunity. At last, with Solomon, they are discovering that “all is vanity" In the cities; that friendships are dlfflcnlfc that neighbors don't know the names one of the other, that noise dirt, confusion are there, and the struggle to live Is at the desperate stage all the time. The telephone, the trolley line, free rural mall delivery—these aW mitigating the unsocial aide of rural life, and the beauty of nature is doing the rest Intelligent men and woi seeking the health of their families, physical, moral and spiritual, are tal up homes where scree abound, and are giving to rural life something it has lacked before. The practical farmer finds In these additions to bis neighborhood circle stimulus and cheer, and the children of the farpj and of the families from the city find mutual pleasure la association The movement Is an allaround good one. It marks a new era In rural life and.a change of inestimable value to those with courage enough to pall up stakes and leave the town. It is one of the moet encouraging signs of the times Housewives who find it a bore to wln-i the clock evory seven, eight or fourteen days as the case may be. will be pleased to know that there la a clock on the market a'hich baa to be wound only every 400 days. Ten chances to one they would forget io wind It at that.

It would really be only a si«p in advance of th* counting machJpdT which now do the figuring of bank clerks for them. Th* syllogism, which hag proved go useful in straightening out the klnkain men's argument, is only a diagram, a mechanical devica. There Is a school of thinkera, says the New Ydrk Mail, who maintain that the human race has become more stupid than It was m antiquity, and that dtrlllaatlon haa advanced on the Intellectual tide, partly aa a snowoall Increases In six* by the mere accretions of anooesslve generations, and partly by means of various mechanical devices for the assistance oMhe mind or the memory—the alphabet, the abacus, printing, the decimal system, the snbstltntlon of money payment for barter. Benjamin KJdd, In his “Social Evolution,” rehearses the grounds for thlb claim; and even suggests that the cavemen had more cranial capacity than we have. With ao many manual aide to th* brain we seem able nowadays to get along with leas gray matter. Our algebra straightens out oar punting “mental arithmetic;” our war maps clarify our correspondence from the field. In Intrusting more and more of Its originally mental functions to automatic performance, civilization is not oaly following the example of the human brain, which has a way of hardening a volition into a habit, and then turning It over to the spinal cord and forgetting all about IL That la the way, Indeed, the great business man accomplishes bis large and multifarious tasks; be reduces them to a routine, and surrenders them to the routine subordinate. But he goes on to something else. If onr detail reasoning la to be performed or clarified by a logic machine hereafter. It leaves ns free to think more comprehenslvely and to ‘idealise.
