All Are yonEee Notions.

American products have forced their
way into every avenue of trade in
England and "a London newspaper
mourns the fact in this fashion: The
average man rises in the morning from
his New England folding bed, shaVes
with American soap and Yankee
safety razor, pulls on his Boston boots
over his socks from North Carolina,
fastens his Connecticut braces, slips
his Waltham or Water bury watch in
his pocket and sits down to breakfast.
There he ngratulates his wifezo on the,
way her Illinois straight-front corset
sets off her Massachusetts blouse and
he tackles his breakfast, where he eats
bread made from prairie flour, timed
oysters from the Pacific coast and a
slice Of Kansas City bacon, while his
wife plays with q slice Of Chicago OK
tongue. The children are given Amari-.
can oats At the same time he reads.
his morning paper printed by Ameri-
can machines and possibly on Ameri-
can paper. He rushes out, catches an
electric tram New York to Shep-
herds Bush, where he gets IN a
Yankee elevator to take him on to the
electric railway to the
city. AT lunch time he hastily sWal-
lows some cold roast beef that comes
from COW IN Iowa, and favoors 1t
with the latest New Eng land pickles,

A girl OF sixteen passed the Gazseas
once this morning dressed 30 Kin, sags
the Emparia Gazette. She had on red
falifaaissTee stockings, patent leather shoes.
"a 80 hat, a hustle OF great prase, .
tabernacle skirt, a tucked and frfllea
shirt waist, and she carried 9E.ERD
parasol. Here hair was frazzed ard
frumped and bedecked and she wore
jewels and all manner of stuG that q
sixteen yearold girl has no more busi-
ness wearing them than she has 70 go
naked. One rig is about ais vulgar and
cheap and taWdry as the other. OF
course, the child who is being rushed
into Womanhood by fool mother
doesn't move in the best crowd Of girls
and boys of the town. She can't get
in. Her father makes plenty Of money,
but her mothers fool notion Of dress
bars the child. Another girl passed
the street a few minutes after the first
girl passed the Office. Girl number two
is the daughter Of a family that counts
its wealth with six figures. She wore
a simple bingham gown that she made
herself, and a pair Of plain SO shoes.
Her hair was done up neatly and sim
ply as a girls hair should be. There
were no rings on her fingers or bells on
her toes. She was a pretty, quietly
n fo
girl with her head full Of the fine
dreams and fancies that come to every
girl. Her name is found in the list of
those present at the entertainments
given at the best homes in town. Her
mother is responsible for the child's
graces Her mother keeps her girlish
and>in doing so the mother retains her
youth. She is one of the handsomest
women in town. Her face reflects a
clean heart The girl doesn't hear ma
licious gossip in her home. She
doesn't know everything on earth or
in hell---which word is here used rev
erently-and she doesn't CAD the
streets. She is a good cook, good
housekeeper and has the making Of a
woman as useful as her mother lis. It
is all matter of ideals in this old
world. Often people think because a
girl doesn't conquer the world az she
promised to in her high school essay,
that she has forgotten all about it. But
when a woman brings up a clean,
wholesome family in this generation OF
vipers she has been reasonably true
to herself and her aspirations, even if
she doesn't strip the laurel tree for her
millinery.

Contrast of Temperature.

The British Meteorological Council
has just published charts showing the
remarkable weather conditions which
prevailed over the North Atlantic
ocean and adjoining lands in the win
ter of 1S98-99. At sea the weather was
extremely boisterous for a period of
six weeks, while a great difference of
temperature prevailed between the two
sides of the ocean. On February 10th
the thermometer at Fort Logan, Mon
tana, was 81 degrees below zero, while
on the same day at Liege, Belgium. it
was 705 degrees above zero, a differ
ence Of 1915 degrees, and over extern
siye regions on two sides Of the At
lantic the difference in temperature
amounted to 100 degrees.

pressing them in tight. hot shoes, has
weakened his ankles by placing around
them bandages Of thick leather, tight
" drawn with laces strong enough to
hang him. We owe to the shoemaker,
therefore, our sprained ankles, our IN
grown toenails, our corns and bunions,
our bills for salVes and plasters. The
savage knows nothing of these things.
They are the heritage of civilization.
So far as athletic sports are concerned,
however, it is probably true that in.
contests of strength and endurance, the
civilized athlete is the equal, perhaps
the superior, Of the savage, but this is
not due to his civilization, but to the
fact that, in a sense, he combines the.
best and most healthful features of.
both savage and civilized life.-St.

Royal Museum ut windsor Castle.

The interesting little museum Of
relics from foreign countries which
was arranged at Windsor castle in
honor OF the diamond jubilee is to re-
main intact; and the present cata-
logue privately printed for the use of
the lord chamberlain's department,
when the museum is shown to the
kings guests, will therefore still re-
main in force, says an English news
paper. A large number Of relics Of the
same type are being accumulated at
the castle from the collections hitherto
housed at Marlborough house and
SaDdringham, and room is being made
for them in the armory, and also ID
the guard chamber, which at present
contains the Tippoo sahib trophy, as
well as the Celini shield, eommennora
tive of the field Of the cloth OF gold. .

r ossible I
ton of the
United Sta ties.

tration of this law OF iyilization I1-
stensive farming is disp1acing extensive
farming and that means that, by inn
proved methods Of culture. family
may get better crops and larger profits
from ten acres than from one hundred
acres by the older and less scientific
culture. Not only is population In
creasing in this way, but the comforts
are multiplying. Selling has taken
the place Of pasturing and the growth
of mixed crops has supp1anted the cuI-
tiyation OF one or two crops on a large
scale. The advantages are keeping
the land at its best, and decreasing
waste. With. intenser culture, and
brains, we believe a family Of i've can
get a good living from five acres; or
about $50 families from a square mile.
This, Of course, is not up to the Chi
nese standard; for at the best few
American farmers fail to waste a good
deal in manures, in harvesting and in
storage; while the standard of living
requires larger income. A family of
five requires in the United States for
food, for clothing, for comforts, for
repairs Of vehicles and tools, and
wages of help, not less than $1,000. If
you wish to get at the requirements
Of a single individual you will find
that he must be taken strictly as a,
factor in family. Following the
above line Of argument, We find that
the state of New York, with 10000, 900
acres, can support 100000 families,
including 10000, 900 individuals, dis
tributed over the whole area. The
United States with 1900, oOo, 900 acres,
can sustain by the same estimate
1900, 100000 individuals, or $50 900, 900
families. But this not taking into our
reckoning arid lands, mining lands,
irreclaimable sWamps, very rocky or
mountainous land; lands robbed of fer
tility by bad filth; and sections too
rough or otherwise unfit for homes
We shall probably not go far astray
if we reckon under these one-fourth Of
the whole land; although more con-
sentative estimates are 600 100000, or
one-third. If this be so, we once
more come to the conviction that the
possible population of the United
States is, under present conditions,
450,000,000 of individuals, or 10000, 900
Of families. - New York Indepen-

Color OF Butter iies.

Is ~. | &
Butterflies change their color ac-
cording to the heat OF the atmosphere.
This interesting fact has been discov-
cred by NJ. Sandfuss of Zurich, Swift
zerland, who subjected 10000 butter
degrees OF the suns heat. On one oc-
casion, it being unusually cold in Swift
zerland, a butterfly common there took
on the appearance Of a butterfly from
Lapland. On the other hand, butterflies
which were subjected to a higher de-
gree of solar heat than the normal
looked as II they had been born and
raised in Corsica or Syria. One result
of these novel experiments is the pro-
duction Of butterflies Of an entirely
new type. some Of them being OF be-
.Wildering beauty.

An Artificial Man.

A doctor has calculated how much it
would cost to make an artificial man.
He estimates that a pair OF arms cost
$50, or with the hands articulated cost
about sl75;; a pair Of legs, also articu-
aated, cost about $40; a false nose in
metal, from $50 to 500. For $3.50 he
believes that he could get pair Of
ears just like natures handiwork, fit
ted with artificial ear drums and
resonators. a complete set Of teeth.
with palate in platinum costs from $40
Ito $50, and for a good pair Of artificial
eyes about $50 would have to be paid.
Thus the total cost of restoring bat
tered veteran who has lost most OF his
geparsble parts would be about 5000.

to our possession this government is
manag ing to call attention to the very
poor pay that our school teachers re-

to know that a protest is. forming all
over the country Several of our rep

pines declare that the salaries there
are too high, but such is really not
the case. Compared with the pay Of
the political positions, they are ex-
tremely moderate. They are only
high when compared with the pay the
school teachers receive in the United
States, and the opinion Of the gentle.

Room I ct
OF ore.

In the present state Of the arts In
the United States, how many people
could be supported ]: and how many
more people could be provided for by
an increase In inv ention q, IT. is not
possible to say how much land would
be required to support a single indi-
EVidual anywhere. The census Of the
United States for 300 shows III New
York state 152 persons to "a square
mile, or about one to four acres; in
Mlassachus there are about 34S to
a square mile, or about one to two
acres. In Ohio 1O2 to a square mile
and so on down to Nevada, which
has two square miles for every In
habitant-or over 1000 acres for each
man, woman and child IN the state.
B In the whole United States there are
Y Inhabitants to a square mile, or
over 80 acres to each. The New York
average, covering the whole country
would raise this number about seven
times that is, would establish a pop
5u I'll OF about 100000, 900. This
would include New York city. The
Ohio average would probably be a fair
one: and that would raise the popula-
ton Of the United States to about 400
voc, 600. Tt does not seem to be an IN
warranted assumption that the United
States can, by proper attention to in
tensive. or. scientific farming of the
soil, and by conformity to such laws
as sustain equability of temperature
ana moisture, reach a population of
from 400, 100000 to SOC, 900 900. China
remains an object lesson to demon
strate an increase quite beyond these
figures. Under the best existing CON
dltions in the United States, two acres
are required for each individual; ten
acres for the family of FIVE. In China
we have found that under best condi-
tons two people can subsist to the
acre. Will a wiser conservatism of
natures forces not slowly increase our
chances, until, with vastly greater
knowledge of the earth's resources
than our Turanian neighbors, and
multifold easier access to them, we
snail be able to sustain a population
even larger to the acre, or mile, than
they are now doing? Among the more
civilized races there is a constantly de-
acreasing ratio of lands to families. AT
present the. United States, especially
the eastern states, furnish fine illus

tends to spend the evening at home or
to take carriage to the theater or
other entertainment; and in purchase
ing these shoes great care should be
taken to have them sufficiently long
SO that the widest part Of the foot
shall fall at exactly the right place
in the widest part OF the shoe. The
point of the shoe, 4 you see, is then
merely decorative effect entirely OUT
side of the general contour Of the foot.
If one has not many cents in his
pockets he must make up the deficiency
by having a great deal of sense in his
head; and if you cannot afford enough
shoes so that you can change for the
different occasions the only sensible
way to do is to purchase about two
pairs which are reasonably suited to
the needs Of the case, even at the
sacrifice of a little daintiness. . IS
The great fad for the coming season
will be the half-top shoe. It presents
an effect that reminds one of the foot
wear of the puritan maiden. The ex-
tremes in walking shoes are, as I have
suggested, an imitation of the mems
footwear, but in somewhat lighter ma
terials. Tanned shoes have gone out
completely, dress shoes are Of the
usual materials-+soft kid, patent
leather, cloth tops, etc. A very pretty
little tie, not necessarily an oxford, is
a low, pointed shoe laced with varie-
gated ribbons.-Mollie Morris. +
