PHGNIx. AUGUST 2s. 1900

The new census will cause fresh discussion of the proper number of
 members for the United THE HOUSE States house of repre-
 OF REPRE- sentatives. Either the SENTATIVES. membership must ba
 increased or the number of inhabitants who form the constitu- ency of q representative must be ln- creased. There are now in q full house 257 members, each representing an average of 173,OOO people. Estimatin the population by the new census at 7S, ,000, GOO, the same basis of representa- ton would make a house of about i'o members. So many could hardly be seated conveniently in the chamber without enlargement. Many of our statesmen think the house is noW too numerous a body to transact business efficiently. Yet it has not so large a membership as the house of commons, 67O members: or the French chamber, 5S4 deputies; or the German reichstaE. 397 members. all representing q much smaller population than the United States. But all these have d diff rent method of transacting business than our lower house of congress, and their size is not so constant an obstacle to the accomplishment of business. EX Speaker Reed has urged that the size of the representatives hall be reduced, and the desks removed to convenient Hobbies where members could write let ters and converse without disturbing those who were engaged in the business in hand. The outlook for such a radi- cal change is good.

FORTUNE IN A TRUCK FARM.

| There ar over GOO acres of Pniladel- hpia land under cultivation south of Porter street. in the district known as the neck, and there is now living in Germantown man wha has amassed a fortune of $5OO,000 in raising early Vagete bles in that locality. His two sons are still engaged ip truck farming, although tn y have not the same chan r- es their father had during the civil war when spinach sold for $S a barrel and onions brought SIP a barrel. The faith CT with his half million, has removed tO a handsome country seat near Ger mantoWn. where he lives in opulence.
 H. was an orphan, and at the age of twenty-one having been bound to a trucker. he went with another man to work a farm on shares. In two years he was able to take farm of his own. and success crowned his efforts. In those days the farmer took his own produce to markct and Id it direct to the consumer, without .he aid of the commission merchant. Then. too. there was no omp5tition from the south in the matter of early vegetables. The labor of boys couli he had fir $2 or $3 q k, bu, all this is now changed. On Porter street, between Thirteenth and Sixteenth streets, there are two large public school houses. and the boys who used to work on the farms now att tend school. The farmers are cOnse- quently obliged ito employ men at this season Of the year and nay them $9 eek-Philadelphia Record.

SHAKESPEARE IN VIRGINIA.

Once. during the days of his early was "barnstorming" down in Virginia, at a place called Lees Landing. The improvised theater was a tobacco ware house. and it was crowded by the plant CTS from miles around. Booth and h.s companions had arranged to take the weekly steamer expected late that night. and between the acts were busy packing up. The play was the "Mer- chant of Venice" and they were just going on for the trial scene. when they heard d whistle and the manager came running in to say that the steamer hal arrived, and would leave again in ten minutes. As that was their only chance for a week of getting away, they were in q terrible qudndary. If we eXpla n matters" said the manager, the audi ence will think they are being cheated. and We shall have a free fight. The only thing is for you fellows to get up some sort of a natural-like improWptu ending for the piece and ring down the curtain. Go right ahead, ladies and gentlemen, and take your cue from Ned here" and he hurried away to get his luggage aboard. Ned" of course. was Booth, who resolved to rely upon the ignorance of the Virginians of those days to pUU him through all right. So. when old George Ruggles-who was was playing Shylock-began to sharpen his knife on his boot. Booth walked straight up to him and said solemnly: You are bound to have the flesh. are you?" You bet your life!" said Rug gles. Now. TIT make you one more Of fer" continued Booth. Tn addition to this big bag of duca;s I'll throw in two kegs of niggerhead terback a shot gun, and couple of the best econ dogs in the state!' I'm darned if l don't do it." responded Shylock, much to the approbatiOn of the audience. who were tobacco raisers and coon hunters to a man. And. to show that there's no ill., feeling" put in Portia. well wind u2 with a Virginny reel" When the c m. pany got aboard the steamer the cap- tain, Whp witnessed the conclusion of the play, remarked. I'd like to see the whole of that play sometime. Pm blamed if l thought that fellow Shak- spere had so much snap in him."-The New World

A CROOKED RAILROAD.

The Morenci & Southern railway now being constructed from Mo!enci tp Guthrie in Arizona. is already gaining quite reputation as the cronkedest railroad on earth. Besides its crook d. ness it will be notable for it's bridge work and steep grades. In the eighteen miles that it goes to cover a distance of ten miles it will have twenty-eight bridges. one of which will be 104 fe { high and twelve of them will have an average height of siXty-two feet. The grades will necessitate the purchase of specially equipped locomotives with drivers less than two feet in diameter. The engines will be of sixty tons weight and enormously powerful though slow. -El PasO Herald.
