One of the great benefits of irriga-

does the irrigation of a considerable
section of land reduce the probability
or crop failure in that district to a
MINIMUM, but it also has a beneficial
influence on other fertile lands which
lie contiguous to it. The intensely

In Round Figures.

Not long ago a lady was giving a
lecture, says the London Answers.
Her subject was the human figure, and
the requirements in the way of pro-
portion, for beauty. She herself was
of generous-one may say unwieldly
size, and her was supercil-
ious and lofty. She was trying to dem
onstrate the relative sizes of the limbs
as they really ought to be. For ex-
ample" she said, twice round my
thumb"-she held it up-"once round
my wrist; twice round my wrist. once
round my neck; twice round my neck,
once round my waist" Here she
paused, and a shrill voice from the
audience exclaimed: Twice round
your waist, once round Hyde park

fresher and more fertile lands beyond.
as was shown by the partial destruc-
ton OF the Kansas corn crop during
the recent summer by the hot winds
blowing from the west. When a desert
region is redeemed through irrigation
the winds which blow over it lose their
sting and are tempered to the grow
ing crops. In this way a desert does
harm far beyond it's own limits and an
irrigated district s~catters blessings out
side its OWL boundaries.
OF the hundred million acres Of arid
land still remaining in the west the
government experts have made a thor
ough survey, and they report hat a
sufficient water supply is easily avail
able to redeem 95 per cent of it. Gov
eminent lands open for free settlement
are becoming scarcer, but this enor-
nous tract still remains practically I'M
touched, and simply waiting for the
touch of water to blossom. 1t is said
by those competent to Judge that forty
acres of properly irrigated land in
Kansas or Colorado will furnish a
surer and a larger competency than
100 acres in the east.
The experience Of thousands of irri-
CATION farmers has been practically
the same. They pay perhaps $1.25 or
50, or perhaps even S. an acre for their
land in an arid and entirely unpro-
ductive state. At an average cost of

surmounted by a s~ixteen-foot wind
mill. This windmill works an eight
or ten inch pump in a we'll twenty feet
deep. The water brought to the sur
face is stored in a reservoir about sew
enty-fve feet in diameter, and which
will cost another 500 to build. With
such a plant e man can irrigate thor
oughly at least ten acres Of land. If
he plants ten acres with alfalfa he will
have water enough for twenty acres
in all, for the alfalfa needs to be irri-
gated only in the winter time, for it's
long tap roots run down so deep below
the surface that they will find a sufi-
Gent supply of moisture even when the
surface of the ground is baked and
hot.
In this way, with an expenditure OF
not more than $3.50 for an irrigating
plant. a man may raise the value of
his land from 81 or SO to $40 an acre,
this being a conservative average Of

"FADDY" MEALS IN LONDON.

Flower Breakfasts" a Popular Form of
Entertainment in London.
The fad of flower breakfasts" which
threatened to become a popular form
of entertainment in London, is said to
have failed of popular approval among
the "sassity" people, and SO probably
will not trouble us on this side of the
water. For three seasons a certain
set has been trying to make them
go" The first season they were popu-
lar, the next less so, and the past sea-
son hardly were heard of. THESE break
fasts consisted of dishes made entirely
OF flowers. Salad made from the bios
SONS of the nasturtium alternated with
caper jelly and myrtle flower soup at
these repasts. Usually the flowers of a
peculiar species of pumpkin vine ON
stituted the principal dish. They were
yellow in color, fieshy and about the
size Of a silver dollar. These edible
blossoms were picked before the petals
were fully opened, baked or stewed in
which, as every one knows or should
know, are the unexpanded flowers of
an evergreen plant growing in the East
Indian archipelago. The feast was
finished off with a plentiful supply Of
candied rose leaves, ~viOlets, etc. 1t was
an extremely aesthetic sort Of meal,
but not filling enough to meet with
popular approval. After n Of these
breakfasts the guests generally went
out and got something to eat.
Dinners of sauces have met with
more favor than the flower breakfasts
and are not infrequently given by cpl
cures searching for new gastronomic
sensations. One OF the most success
full Of these sauce dinners was given
by a member of a swell" London club
no long ago. The soup was repre-
sented by gravy sauce, and in lieu Of
fish, oyster and lobster sauces were
handed around. Then came egg sauce
and bread sauce, and for dessert there
was brandy sauce. This last course is
probably what saved the lives of the
guests and host, for they all survived
and pronounced the dinner a success.

Apropos Of the cars recent visit to

the president of France, prevented a
sad contretemps. The imperial party
was staying at a country villa, and
when the hour for the cars morning
bath arrived the servants started to
prepare the tub. But the hot water
would not come. The servants twisted
the faucets this way and that, and
pounded on the pipes, but all to no pur-
Iose. Finally, Nine. Loubet heard OF
the difficulty. She called several men
servants, and hot water was sent from
the kitchen to the imperial tub in

ed a storm of Indignation by announc-

donned a red robe and attempted to

on hand the opening night to wipe out
the front. It vas rather astonishing
that the audience allowed the curtain
to arise at all, but somehow it did and
waited for the first Yankee sentiment
as a signal for a demonstration. Half
an hour later, instead OF hurting the
stale vegetables with which it was
armed, the audience was shouting itself
hoarse in applause. Bidwell had been
busy suppIementing Harriet Beecher
