A generation ago the glamour of city llfo and its artificial attractions hold the young people of tho coun try in their thrall, nnd as the years rolled by the farms were almost de populated by the rush of tho boys and girls to find employment in the factories, stores and offices of the towns. Tho reason for this lay in tho fact that the country was lonesome and tho social instinct was Btrong. The Isolated farm, with its dreary round of routine duties, unbroken by so cial diversion, became very weari some, and the best of tho young blood rebelled ngalnst tho conditions nnd so crowded tho cities that the halanco In population was badly disturbed. Recently tho pendulum has begun to swing back ngnln and "Bnck to the Farm" has become a popular slogan. This hns already been brought about by tho Increased com forts, luxuries and moro attractive modes of living on the part of the agriculturists. Prices for farm pro ducts are better, and the rural free delivery, telephone nnd automobile have broken up the isolation. All these changing conditions arc de lightfully reviewed by Mr. Gregory in such nrtlcles as "Tho Growth of the Cities and the Increased Cost of Living," "Restoring tho Balance," "Farming the Young Man's Op portunity," "The Country Girls Career," etc. Tho ilrst of this luminous series on country life will shortly nppear In the Mirror, pro fusely Illustrated.

Y., special says: It Is stated on good authority, as so many times hns been stated, that the O. & W. does not want to pur chase the D. & E., when this road Is sold, neither does the U. & D. care to acquire it, according to those who claim to be posted on the subject. It is reasonable to suppose that, as the actual market value of the Delaware and Eastern Is at present nt low water mark, the road will be sold to or absorbed by the Jermyns or capitalists whom the Jermyns may interest in the proposition. The road is said to have cost to build and equip in the neighborhood of ?1, 500, 000, that being the com pany's estimate, but other railroad officials assert the road won't bring more than $500,000. The people are hopeful the D. & E. will not be sold to any other road, but that the Jermyns or other capitalists will se cure It and build the extensions, as at first outlined. Mammoth Crops Reported All Over. From New York, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia come encouraging reports sent In by the buyers of com mission houses, who have visited the northwestern and Pacific states that the apple crop In those sections will exceed by far any former year in the history of the country. Those agents or buyers' predict that it will require 1500 box cars to ship the fruit from the commercial orcharda to the eastern points. The market value of the crop in the several states is placed at from $27,000,000 to $29,000,000 at present prices. The encquraglng news is gladly wel comed by the general puhlic, all of whom are particularly fond of that product, and which will In all prob ability be sold at greatly reduced rates. The potato crop also gives promise of a large yield, with nomi nal prices prevailing. Connect lent Opposed to Sunday Fun erals, Too. No more Sunday funerals is the cry of the undertakers of the state as voiced in a unanimous vote pass ed by the 50 or more funeral direc tors at the session of the Connecti cut Funeral Directors' association, held in Now Haven this week. The vote was indirectly due to the ad dress of President Bennett of the association, who recommended It in his address to those present. On tho strength of Mr. Bennett's ad dress a committee, consisting of Funeral Directors Albert A. May of Meriden, the newly-elected president of the association, as chairman; C. Forbes of Westport and M. V. Mur phy of Norwich, were nppointed to draft a resolution to tho effect that Sunday funerals he abolished as far as possible in this state. A resolu tion to this effect was later present ed to the members of the associa tion and unanimously adopted. Hartford Courant. Short Gems of Philosophy.

Estimate of Ilarrlinnit Fortune. Edward H. Hnrriman wns worth $71,000,000 when ho died on Sept. 9, 1909. Wall street nnd the general pub lic have mndo estimates of the amount of tho Harrimnn estate that ranged from $100,000,000 to twice ns much, but few even of his most Intimate friends believed that his estato would fall below $SO,000, 000. Tho estimate given above is that prepared by Charles A. Pcabody, president of the Mutual Life Insur ance company, one of Harrlman's closest friends nnd legnl advisers, and has since acted as the chief Ad viser of Mrs. Harrimnn, to whom the flnnncier left everything he pos sessed. Mr. Peahody, representing Mrs. Harrimnn, paid Into the office of Comptroller Williams on March 5 $175,000 as his estimate of tho amount of Inheritance tax to which the state would be entitled to under tho transfer tax law. Under the law, the payment of this tax within six months of tho death of the testa tor, entitles the estate to a rebate of five per cent. Other than this payment, nothing has been done toward the legal set tlement of Mr. Harrlman's estate. 1010 APPLES NOT NUMEROUS. Crop Will Fall Below Normal, Suys Prof. Surface. Reports to State Economic Zoolo gist H. A. Surface, according to a statement he made Saturday, in dicate that the Pennsylvania apple crop this year will be only 50 per cent, as largo as the normal crop, taking the state as a whole. Gen erally speaking, the shortage Is in the western half of the state, the eastern apples being In good shape. These reports to the division of economic zoology exactly coincide with a statement about the apple crop made a fortnight ago by Deputy Secretary of Agriculture A. L. Mar tin, after he had made a "swing around the circle" for the purpose of studying crops In general. "Viewing the state as a whole.' said Prof. Surface, "the Pennsylva nia apple crop this year will be just about half of normal. Last year's crop was about normal. Prices this year will be higher, which should be encouraging to the men who have apples at all. "In the eastern part of the state the apples are much more abundant thnn in western Pennsylvania. Trees In the western counties and along the northern tier were Injured by late frosts. The dry weather of the past several weeks will have something to do with holding down the crop, hut It Is only partly to blame. Pennsylvania horticultur ists are learning that apples grow better in alternate years. With a good crop last year and a poor one this year, next year should see an excellent yield." IMPORTANT POSTAL CHANGE. Xo Return Receipt For Registered Mail Unless Request is Made. The United States postal laws have been amended so that all per sons desiring a return receipt for such mail or parcel must place au endorsement "receipt desired" or some similar one. If this is not done no such receipt will be forthcoming. A. M. Travers, acting third assistant postmaster general, has sent out the following to postmasters concerning the change: "The amended regulations cover all registered mall, including offi cial matter mailed by government officials. "Until further notice postal em ployees accepting mail for registra tion must in every case ask if a re turn receipt is desired, and if a per son desiring a return receipt has failed to make the proper Indorse ment on tho mall, the receiving postmaster or clerk should supply it. "If a domestic registered article that does not bear the indorsement 'Receipt desired' or words of similar import Is accompanied by a proper ly addressed return-receipt card, a receipt should be obtained thereon and the card should be mailed to the sender in tho usual manner. "No return-receipt card should bo prepared for a domestic registered article not indorsed 'Receipt desir ed' or with words of similar im port."
