The statement coming from Kansas
that arid lands can be made fertile with.
out the aid Of irrigation has been hooted
Of by the press with considerable iervor,
but the officers Of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Garden City insist
that the scheme Is within the bounds Of
reason. Successful experiments have
been made and are now in progress.
The plan Is 10 pulverize the soil to con-
siderable depth TO form q bed or sponge
to hold the natural rainfall. After the
seed Is planted, the surface Of the ground
ID covered with matted straw 10 prevent
the evaporation Of the moisture and the

Grasses, forage plants and sorghum have
been raised On dry areas by this method
and the expeFimenters are confident thai
good crops Of corn and wheat can be Sc
cured BY this means.

According 70 Payen, without their being
anything absolute in those qualities which
depend on the particular state Of the d.

on the idiOsyncrasies, we may say in gen.

the les strong their cohesion and the less
their hardness. We might thus establish
between them the following order, begin

fowl, game, eFustaceans, lamb, veal, beei,
mutton, wild boar and pork.
In these categories are generally con-

attractions, but they are essentially a
pure, unadulterated American institu

and legitimate business principles. hon
estly and truthfuily presented. and rep
resented in all departments by gentle.
men of ability, who have earned repu.
tation as successful business men. The
highest salaries are raid because It is to
the advantage Of the show to employ
gentlemen to represent them, and they
must have men of probity, honesty and
integrity, and none others are desired in
any department. That the show is
great national affair is without doubt.
No event creates half as much of a SEN
sation as the advent Of the Greatest
Show on Earth in a town, for the
people are aware that nowhere else
can they see so truly grand and over
whelming an exhibition or obtain half
the fun and amusement. The only won
der about the wonderful affair is that so
much can be exhibited for so small an
admission price. Just see: there is a
black canvas tent for the exhibition of
the extensive gallery of living super

the weird Eastern paraphernalia carried
on their religions pilgrimages

Mecca. Realistic pictures are seen Of the
life Of these people as it has existed since
Biblical times. Their wanderings on the
desert, attack on caravans scenes in
camp, on the march, and IN battle with
the French soldiers, are all faithfully
presented. Harem Incidents. wild feats
of Moorish horsemanship, weird playing
ON musical instruments and other de-
lightful realistic episodes, are truthfully
portrayed. triple circus in three rings,
elevated stage performances, and the
enormously large menageries Of wild and
trained animals, are among the principal
added attractions this year. There can
be no question but that Barnum & Bailey
have gotten together this season the big

had, which is a sufficient guarantee to all
that it is the best in the world. Il will

editor has actually dared to bring in

things which are supposed to be un-

Of a man" is not supposed to know. He
has referred to sudden changes of COM

slimness and to attenuation, to curly
hair suddenly becoming straight, to
straight hair twisting into bewitching
curls. He has referred to other things

Now, the prevalent idea of that lady
is that the less paint, powder and raj

we read statement somewhat inconsist-
ent but full of nude truth and unadorned
beauty, we imagine that our friend is

Women In general need little, II any,
artificial adornment beyond that which is
made necessary for the sake of unifor-
nifty and good taste and it will be n
great step towards the perfection Of
womanhood, when all other forms Of dis
stimulation and deception give place to
natures handiwork, and a proper obser-
vance OF the laws governing the same.
We may be mistaken, but this strikes
us as bold proposition to spring on a
peaceable community where all kinds Of
cloths are cheap and plentiful and where
fix leaves are scarce. We should not like
to argue this question publicly without
the assistance Of DR.. Mary Walker, Mrs.
James Brown Potter and Senator Blair.
