DIVIDED FOUR DISTINCT CLASSES^ F«edlog ud Lodging the Laborer*—Homt- Itod of tha Vconun Farmer—The Law of Inheritance—CUua dDUttnetlosa Con earning Marriage—Keeping Poultry. The peasantry of Demark are divided Into four distinct classes, namely, the "Gaardmand" (pronounced Gorman), or ?:yeoman farmer, who either owns or rents from thirty to eighty-five acres'(English) secondly, the "Parcelist," who owns or 'fff rents from eight to thirty acres thirdly, the "Husmand." or cottager, with from one to eight acres and lastly, the "In sidder," who generally rents his cottage and garden plot and from this last class it is that the laboring men are principally drawn. Until marriage the laboring men are fed and lodged upon the farm where they work, and in one or the buildings just referred to are the dormitories for the "Karle," of which upon sucfh a farm there would be about twelve, beside the foreman there, too. is the roomy kitchen, and the refec tory, where these stalwart hungry youths are fed. and particularly well fed. too. partaking of no less than five good meals a day At 6 in the morning their break fast is served, consisting of huge slices of bread and butter—cut by a machine— with coffee and a small glass of "snaps." or corn brandy on the island of Zealand this early ueal is a kind of thick soup made of rye bread and beer, with which a salt herring is eaten. At noon .dinner, which is soup or porridge, followed by meat, or codfish, or pork, with vegetables and beer at 4 p. m.. bread and butter, cheese, beer, and more snaps, and finally, a supper of porridge with milk. The farm hands are hired by the half year, and the whole system has hitherto worked to the mutual satisfaction of both laborer and employer. This, however, is greatly due to the fact that there exists a code of hiring laws which provides an easy settlement of all disputes between master and man. Every servant, farm or domes tic, is under these laws compelled to keep a book which is officially registered, and wherein are written all his or het certifi cates of character, each one of which is necessarily countersigned by the magis trate of the district wherein the master or mistress resides The Gaardmand's homestead Is substan tial, square and thatched the barns, stables, etc.. are joined to it, forming to gether a quadrangular farm yard, with the entrance gate facing the dwelling. At the back is a garden, usually of about three-quarters of an acre, devoted to fruit, vegetables and hopsv with a few rases ana gilly flowers near the house door. A farmer working from sixty to eighty acres will have upon his farm two "karle%" a boy, and two girls for the dairy, aA of whom are helped in their work by their master and his family. Generally such a farmer keeps upon his land fifteen or more cows, four sheep, four horses and two goats, for every farmer is a horse breeder more or less. The poultry is his wife's care and perquisite, and forms a highly important item in Jier yearly budget. These farms, when owned by the yeoman, are, generally speaking, mortgaged for htdf their value, a fact to bo attributed in most instances to the repeal of the law of primogeniture. At present the parent is permitted, if he pleases, to leave one-third of his prop erty to his eldest son, a clause in the law of Inheritance much appreciated and in general use. As the valuation for probate is extremely low, the eldest son generally raises a loan with which to buy out his brothers and sisters, with their consent, and the race being a practical one. en-, dowed with generous Instincts, this modi fied form of "portage force" does not ap pear as yet to produce the jealous fends or to work the evil It is known to do in other countries though, as indeed the system has not been long in force, it is perhaps rash to predict that it may effect no change for the worse during the lapse of a century. In cases where a loan is impossible, owing to a previous mortgage, subdivision steps in, and in some instances has been repeated until the minimum area has been reached under the new law al ready referred to. Necessarily, if the family be numerous, and all elect to re taiu tneir share in the land, they sink to the position of Busmand. and have to resort to a trade to eke out their liveli hood. Should, hdwever. a younger mem ber of the family have had the good luck to have tearried the child of a wealthy Gaardmand with a. good dowry, then the newly married pair proceed to buy a small farm of about twenty-five acres, and be come Parcelists. Class distinctions are clearly marked and rigidly adhered to among thj peas antry. Not so very long ago it w&sVrgued from certain political platforms in the* Midlands that the farm laborer who pos sessed "three acres and a cow" would nd longer have the need to touch his hat to the squire. Judging from the Danish peasantry, however, a race fully as sturdy and independent as our o,wn, it would ap pear that an Increase In the number of owners of land does but augment the number of those who demand a respectful fg salutation from tho laborer, whether he ^possesses a cow or not. Also as regards marriage, a Gaardmand's son marries al most invariably a Gaardmand's daughter. ~. When the marriage of a Gaardmand son wV rz with a Husmand's daughter occurs, all :& •the peasant society of th^district is put in a flutter, and the match is considered a grave mesalliance, not at all to be en couraged. The younger sons of Gaard mand who have neither the prospect of a good Inheritance nor of a good "match," usually learn a village trade, such as that or wheelwright or blacksmith those with a better education and more enltght ened may become village schoolmasters ,*§ $ ar.d village "vets." and sometimes, if they have a preference for horseflesh, they may take the post of coachman at the Herre mand's. thomgh it is rare for the yeoman class to enter domestic service. Those who do so. like those who take to a trade, •t *v lose caste, and may freely choose their wives from the Husmand's daughters, but not so the vetennafy, or schoolmas ter, for whom it would be unpardonable. Fowls are kept invariably They help to pay the rent, and often more besides. Upon the highway one meets the tiny child of 4 or o, fair haired and blue eyed, her mother in miniature as regards dress, from the close fitting cap and large apron to the little sabots peeping out from under the long, full petticoats. She is armed with a withy, and is there alone to guard the flock of poultry searching for a meal by the wayside, and which, ever livinjj on terms of close intimacy with the family, are well conducted birds, easily amenable to discipline. In winter they are stowed away in all sorts of in the loft, or more often in utcbes.—Fortntehtlv Review.

And yet perhaps no equal number of peo ple are to be found who appreciate so keenly the necessity of an ntelligcnt knowledge of the world's daily doings. They recog nize thr.t they, more than anyone else, are the world's providers :n many of the most important necessaries of life. How im portant, then, that they should have their daily intelligence of -very event, the world over, which by any possibility can affect their diversified commercial holdings. And in all the higher interests of'life where can be found a like number of people more keenly appreciative of all that contributes to progress in art, literature, science, religion, politics, and the thousand and one things which make up modern civilization. And yet, strange to say, right here in this great, busy north west, in its busy metropolis Chicago, there has taken place the creation and development of that most cumbrous, unserviceable, time-destroying thing, the blanket-sheet" newspaper. With the blindness of very fatuity this hionstrosity of journalism, this breeder of mental dyspepsia, has steadfastly imposed its mountain of un threshed straw to the demand of the people for the winnowed grain of fact. It "was out of the very incongruousness of such a condition of things that THE DAILY NEWS had its birth. People wanted the Xews,—all the news—but they demanded it apart from the over powering mass of the trivial and inconsequential. It is because THE DAILY NEWS satisfactorily meets that demand that its circula tion is over a-million a-week:' R. M. LAWRENCE, \VilliamsviHe, Ill., says: The :. There are Two Distinguishing Characteristics Which, more than anything else, have contributed to the phenomenal growth of The Chicago Daily News, giving it a circulation larger than that of all other Chicago dailies combined. It seems strange that the first practical, combined application of two such common sense principles in journalism should have been left to a paper as yet only twelve years old. And yet true it is that in this tact lies the real secret of the unparalleled suocess of The Chicago Daily News. Briefly stated these principles are: First. THE DAILY NEWS 4 big daily' is too much for me. Not that a person is obliged to read every thing printed in the blanket-sheets,' but one having anything else to do doesn't have time to hunt through the long-drawn twaddle for a few grains of digestible food." $3.00 When to two such comprehensive elements of popularity THE DAILY NEWS now adds a third in its unparalleled price reduction to One Cent a day, it offers a combination of attractions at once unique and unapproachable by any other American newspaper, and one which will surely multiply its friends throughout the Northwest by the thousands.

The reader can count on one hand the known newspapers whose statements in matters of politics can always be accepted as at least intentionally truthful, and commonly so. in fact. On the other hand, it is the all-but-universal rule to praise one's party and candidate to the skies, and to cry down ihe opposition party and its candidate to the verge of the disreputable. So common have such silly and reprehensible methods in jour nalism become that they pass unnoticed, and are accepted as a matter of course—as an evil inseparable from practical politics. But this is only another mistake of the thoughtless. The Ameri can people are intelligent enough, thoughtful enough, fair enough to appreciate and endorse honest, truth-telling journalism—111 truth to prefer it to the misleading, the truth-discoloring dishonesty of the "organ."
