A New World to Conquer.

Some interesting facts regarding the
great size and possibilities Of our coun.
try were brought out at one OF the re.
cent bearings before the Committee on
Irrigation of Arid lands. 1t is not
usually realized, especially by people
in the East, that an enormous area of
our country. six hundred million acres
| III extent, lies unutilized. This is an
area larger than the whole of Europe,
and big enough to furnish land for g
dozen Old World Kingdoms. Of course
a good deal of it Is, and always VIII be
unfit for the support of large popu-
iation, but with proper management,
it is destined to become the home of
thousands and even millions OF people
This great tract lies entirely west of
the Missississippi Valley and extends
over the Rocky Mountains, the Great
Desect aud into California. Much of
it at present Is a barren and desolate
wilderness With too scsnty rainfall
to provide the necessary moisture for
any but the hardest vegitation. Irri-
CATION is to effect the charge. Years
OF successful experience in the artif-
cial watering Of land has proved beyond
doubt its wonderful efficiency In GER
tain portions OF this arid section, in
California, in Colorado. and elsewhere.
80 that it is but question of capital
and enterprise before the whole large
problem will be solved. Every year
sees an advance toward this desirable
end; Congress has some phase of the
matter constantly befor 1t; the United
Stats Geological Survey has rendered
valuable assistance in determining the
flow of the rivers, which must be used
for water supply, surveying and esti-
mating the cost of dams and reser
voirs, and pointing out previous mis-
takes ard errors which may be avoided.
Close the mind 3 eye moment and
picture the accomplished result. Fifty
million people added to the population
east of the Missouri river, for this is
the number of Inhabitants the present
waste lands are capable of supporting,
a great nation in itself; an agricultu-
raj community, hhanging desolation
into fruitful lands, creating constant
ly increasing demand on Eastern
manufactures, and taxing to the ut
most the carrying capacity OF the great
trans continental railroad lines. 1t
means a new and bright era of deyel-
opment for the country.

WONDERFUL TALES.
or the Big Department Stores Single
Days Transactions.

If the counters in Chicago's largest
department store were placed end tc
end they would make causeaway six
miles long. Were the delivery wagons
and teams of this institution drawn ur
in marching order they would com.
pletely surround an entire city So uare.
A careful estimate of the number OF
persons entering this place during its
banner day of trade is 225,000 This
means, roughly speaking, that the
crowd which passed under this roof on
single days traffic more than equaled
the entire population Of Louisville.
Minneapolis OF Jersey City, none OF
which is credited with more than 2O7,-
900 Inhabitants.
The average force Of employees main
tained by an Institution of this size ia
about $500, but the brigade is increas
ed to 1900 to meet the demands of g
prosperous holiday trade.
An ingenious and interesting method
OF placing the magnitude of this estab-
lishment within the egrasp of the reader
is to compare its trade with the total
retail traffic of a provincial city or town.
A comparison of this kind indicates
that, according to the normal distribu-
tion of trade, the business transacted
by the largest department store of the
West would equal all the retail traffic
done by city of about $4,000 inhabi-
tants.
Another way OF bringing the bigness
of the department store within the
realization of the reader is by reference
to the size of its purchases. One store
in Chicago bought in one bill a stock
of granite kitchenware which filed sew
enteen cars that were made up into a
special train. Another of these great
institutions bought trainload of shirt
waists on single order. Books are
in quantities which are almost
beyond comprehension. One depart
ment store bought in one invoice 100,-
900 volumes of standard works of ic-
tion-and sold them, too. 1t is not
unusual for any of these great concerns
to place single import order for $780,
900 worth of goods, and often this is
far exceeded.
In almost any line of staple goods the
volume of days sales in metropOli-
tan department store is we'll calculated
to test the credulity of the uninitiated,
Think of retailing more than twenty
tons of sugar in one department in a
single day. This record, however, has
been made, and the sales were mainly
in dollar lots" The physical task OF
handling and weighing up this quanti-
ty OF sugar in comparatively small
packages is tiresome to contemplate,
and it would have been scarcely pos
sible had it not been for the great au-
tomato scales with which the sugar
department. is equipped. Suppose the
rate at which this staple is retailed to
be nineteen pounds for 81. The scales
are adjusted at that weight. The clerk
presses a button and volume of sugar
exactly nineteen pounds is

spout leading from the hopper. When

Pet Animals.

| 1t has sometimes been argued that
the keeping of pet animals is one way
to develop the humane instincts OF peo.
| pie in general. Like Other practices,
however, this one is good only when 1t
/ is not abused, as it frequently is.
When one considers the number OF
miserable little beasts yearly trapped,
; captured, and bred in cages for the
amusement of mankind, it seems as if
some better method of amusement
might be devised.
Of course, there ere people who make
friends and companions of their pets,
and although nobody can be absolute
. ly certain about auimai psychology, it
may be that the dog, horse or bird de-
rives an amount of pleasure from con
tact with the superior mind which
more than repays the loss of freedom.
In the case of q highly bred dog OF
Saddle horse it is almost certain that
this is so. But these ere in the minor
iJy when the whole number of domes-
ticated animals is considered.
In the first place, it is certainly
cruelty to take wild creature out of
it's natural environment aud place 1t
in a cage where 1t can have little ex-
ercise, no natural companionship,
and often no suitab bic food. It is en-
tirely possible for people living in
country to or small village to tame
squirrels, birds and other wild things
without in the least interfering with
their freedom, il they choose to use
little patience. Most wild animals will
come where they are not afraid OF be-
ing hurt. The red squirrel can be coax
ed to coma from his hole and eat corn
from the hand of a human being, and
birds of all kinds are easily tanned in
the same way. One who has once en-
joyed the delight of winning the con-
fidence of the wood folk will never
again wish to keep any of them in g
cage.
The animal which is bred for his pur-
pose of domestication, like the lap-dog,
the persian cat, the white mouse, or the
canary, is usually inferior in intelli-
gence to the wild animal, for the very
good reason that 1t does not need as
much brains to be fed, petted and put
to sleep rs to get ones living in the
midst of throng of enemies There
are two ways, however. IN which the
keeping of these animals can be made
really beneficial to children and adults; !
one Is by making companions of them, |
developing all the intelligence they
have, and the other is by choosing pets |
of sort whose intelligence is already |
considerable Children should be en-
TO be kind to their pets and |
to make friends with them, and this |
cannot be done unless there is intelii- |
gence on the other side. II the COM |
fort and we'll being OF the animal is |
studied it will be good for the master |
as we'll as the pet, for altruism general |
ly works in that way, but candor will |

nothing of the kind is usually done.
