Still Room for Growth.
From the National Advocato.l ]

From the National Advocated
 A few years ago it was announced that the United States government did not know exactly how much land it owned, but an account of stock taken lately shows the amount to be 546, ,549,- 665 acres, located for the most part in thirteen states and territories. It is to be taken as illustrating the large and general way we have of talking of our public lands. Millions of acres may be desert, but there are millions more. in any country save the United States. We have tracts of mountain land as large as European kingdoms which we style desert, but which the hardy and patient Swiss would esteem tillable and productive. Other millions of acres of short grass country need but irrigation to make it arable, and the means of irrigation are at hand, only the details of the case have not yet i been made public. This much is made known, however, that many thou sands of acres of as Htter desert as the United States still possesses have been brought under cultivation by private enterprise. The United States, whiek like the several states, has frittered away aud lost the area of an empire, should make the most of the nearly 500, ,00O,oC0 acres remaining.

TaImaae,s Advice.

Encourage newspaper men. If you knew how many annoyanees they have, if you understood that their most elab- crate article is sometimes flung out because there is such great pressure on the columns, and that an accurate report of a speech is expected although the utterance be so indistinct the dis course is one long stenogra phic guess, and that the midnight which finds you asleep demands that they be awake, and that they are sometimes ground
 between the wheels of our great brain manufactories sickened at the often approach of men who want compliment ary newspaper notices, or who want newspaper retraction one day sent to report burial, the next day to report
 pugilist's encounter; shifted from place to place by sudden revolution
 which is liable to take place any day in our journalistic establish ments; precarious life becoming more and more precarious--if you under stood it would be more sympathetic. Be affable when you have not an sx to
 be sharpeued on their grindstone. 1 Discuss in your mind what the nine- 1 teenth century would be without the newspaper, and give encouraging
 words to all who are engaged in this interest, from the chief of editorial department down to the boy who throws the morning or evening paper
 into your basement window.

 Under such circumstances, Mir Newell believed further development could not take place unless the state or nation should build these important works Of reclamation. He showed that vast quantities of water rnn to waste at times of year when it was not needed. If properly stored, millions of acres of land, capable of producing from two to five crops year, could be reclaimed. By conserving all available waters probably from seventy to 8 hundred millions of fertile acres coul d be added to the wealth of the country.

apparently II rivalry between them to see
who can have the largest unmber of pho

The most famous of the beauties is the
Countess of Warwick. Next to her is
Lady Norrcys. Her photograph. taken
while she was sitting on II bicycle. is here
reproduced.
Lady Norreys Is not classicnlly beauti-
ful. but has fine figure and a very
charming complexion.
Her husband is the oldest son and heir
of the Earl OF Abingdon. and she is the
daughter of Lord Wolverton. head of the
banking family Of Glyn and therefore
immensely wealthy.
Lady Norreys and Lady Warwick are
very close friends and are credited with
being the most Industrious md effective
gossips in London society. Report says
that Il was owing to their inability to
keep q good thing to themselves that the
great Tranby Croft baccarat scandal be-
came public and that Sir William Cor
don Cumming was forced to bring q suit
for libel. The Prince of Wales had to
appear rs witness. and the greatest So
ciety scandal of a generation was aired

Of Hour and set In warm place to rise

hot enough to bear the hand in.
When this rises pour 1t into bntter

not to scald the -four by mixing when the

II to rise agnin in n warm place. which II
will do In 25 or 80 minutes. II managed

too hot.
Now put in -four enough to make n stih
batter that cannot be- stirred with q

sifted flour. and add II piece of lard the
size Of large apple and mix II well with

Incr..s. of woa,en Travellers.

As the world grows smaller the num-
Der OF women travellers grows great.
This Is merely another form OF saying
that the greater security. economy and
rnpidity of travel have opened new OPP
portunities for ambitious women. AT the
present time there are the travelling com
panion. the courier, the war correspond
ent. the foreign correspoudent. the COM
mercial traveller. the missionary and the
student. who. puradoa icully enough, is
usually teacher. ! would leave out of
consideration the trayelug companion.
because she in al annex or attachment to
the traveller proper aud IL not traveller
per Sc. ! might also, add the woman ex-
plorer. because in the ,pasi ten years Mrs.
Alice Ie PlongeOn and Miss Kingsley
have won name aud fame in this field of
activity.
Women are both fitted and untitled for
travel. They have less strength and dar-
ing than men, but. on the other hand,
they have more tact and greater regard
for the rights OF others. In many parts
OF the fur east small mobs OF criminals
are apt to attack the stranger within
their gates. When this occurs. the male
traveller usually gets off better than the
female. On the other hand. far greater
source of trouble springs from the wan
ton or ignorant violation of native Gus
toms and religious laws Here men sin
% times where women do once.
Travel brings out the deep ethical diff
ference between the two sexes. In Lon
don have often noticed that the average
American gentleman makes besIine for
the famous inns. pubs and music halls.
while the average American woman goes
to Westminster. st. Paul's and the Tower
OF London. In Paris the former patron
lies the cafe chantnnt and the Moulin
Rouge and the latter the Louvre. Notre
Dame. the Madeleine and the Hotel des
lnvalides.-Harper's Bazaar.
