THE BIGGEST SHOW IN THE WORLD.

The st. Louis Worlds fair will be- approximately
twice as big as any former exhibition. The Centen-
NAL exposition at Philadelphia covered 236 acres,
the Paris exposition of 1S99-1900, 336 acres, the
Columbia exposition at Chicago, 633 The
St Louis Worlds fair will cover 1,200 The
construction cost of the Paris exposition $4,000
900, that of the Columbia exposition $1S,322, 000
and the total cost of the Pan-Ame,'can exposition
was 600. The estimated cost Of the ST Loui7
Worlds fair will be sSOOOOO0O, and probably s4o,-
100000. Before the exposition gates are open the
city of st. Louis will have expended the enormous
of S1O,00OO00. OF this amount $500000O was
appropriated for the fair through the Municipal
assembly and her citizens raised 100000 addi-
tional by private subscription.

Mr. Joseph Brown, the grand old man" Of the
British bar has just died at the ripe Of ninety
three. This kings counsel had low opinion OF
trial by jury and poured out his scorn on the
palladium Of British liberty" In pamphlet he
once published a story of Lord Kenyon trying an
action for penalty for shooting game without a
license. The case was clear. but said defendants

my client friend fired at bird that 1t fell dead
and that he bagged it. 1t is Of no to deny that
But how does it appear that the bird was killed by
the shot? What proof is there he did not die of
fright?" And the jury thought there His
own proposal Retain it by all means if you
will in all prosecutions for political offenses and in
every case wherein the Judge may be concerned,
wherein the Judge may possibly have bias. But
let all ordinary be heard by a of superior
discernment and practiced SKILL whose natural
powers have been sharpened by a life spent
in forensic contests, who cannot be easily deceived
by a witness. because he is conversant with every
kind of testimony by advocate, because he
has been an advocate himself"

GRACEFULLY TAXES IT BACK.

No inconsiderable amount of Washington politi-
cal gossip with reference to the strained relations
between the President and Senator Burton, and
coniectures growing out of such gossip, has been
attributed 10 William Allen White, editor of the
Emporia Gazette whose literary relations with
President Roosevelt at least have been understood
as TO be intimate. White has been down to
Washington lately. Evidently White esteems him
self the CALLED jade, and to a degree admits that
his withers are unwrung. In late issue Of the
Gazette he sententously and categorically lets him
self gracefully. down thus wise
The Gazette is willing to ADMIT tnat It wor-

things II a is villain he will get his pun
ishment without the worry of those who dsapprove
of him If he is fool he will fall and stub his toe
whether We worry our heads of or not about his
folly. 1t is hot weather. The Gazette has decided
to leave lot Of things to the Lord until frost aud
not worry about them. One of these things is Bre

70 Heaven on ELowERY BEDS OF IS.

TO HEAVEN ON FLoWERY BEDS OF EASE.
It seems that Washington has been Infringing
on the Wichita-Nordca invention Last Sunday
every church of that city had telephone connection
so that patrons could remain at home and listen
to the services there without the discom
fort of going and coming This is not ex-
actly going to heaven on dowery beds of ease
Nevertheless by the device one can remain in bed
and hitch onto things heavenly with a telephone
wire. The papers say that never before in mid
summer did the preachers of Washington City have
such large audiences, although only the usual
Der of actual attendants. The scheme was very
lazy one not only but its patrons avoided the
lar Sunday collection. The lazy not only
commodated, but lines were run to the homes Of
the sick, and to such invalid members were
confined to hospitals. What future is thus fore
Swallowed for men Of ease. The tired business man
who does not feel like rising Sunday may take
his religion in bed Everything seems to conspire
to make it easy for him. The old religious forms
were strenuous" Our fathers sat on hard uncush-
Toned pews and in unwarmed meeting houses. Re
ligion used to be robust It has become as
soft velvet and is brought to the seeker at that
for consideration of course. Some may say that
religion that mot worth going after is not worth
having
However, to us it seems that there is more than
the church to religion, more than the preacher or
his sermon to the church. There is the atmosphere
of devotion, of worship, and the spirit of unity and
of fellowship which wants for more than ordinary
socability The man who bitches on to his religion
with a telephone wire may finally reach heaven,
all right, but he will have missed much of the
solutions of religion, much of the aids of the
church and Christian sympathy

Fruit growing requires more head
work than most branches Of agricul-
ture. The farmer must understand
how to raise fancy fruits, and how to
sell them. If he cannot do either, he
must fail 1t is no noyice's work to

and experience, a knowledge of yari-
cites and species, and a spirit Of enthu-
siasm which makes one strive for the
highest Brains and labor combined
never counted for more than to-day
on the fruit farm. The man who pos
sesses the ability and push to raise
fine fruits is in a fair way to make
something more than good living.
1t is a good thing probably that the
incompetent are dropped out of the
fruit business. Their failure is an as
surance to the reliable and intelligent
growers that they will make more
profit These ignorant novices give
the whole fruit business a bad name.
1t is not that they brighten others from
the business by their complaints, but
that they lower the standard of market
fruits with their poor, half-matured
products. They actually demoralize
some markets, which must inevitably
affect the goods of those who have
been careful in their work. The sooner
we get rid of the croakers in the frui
i business, the better it will be for thu

The value of lighthouses.

So great is the use and importance
of inexpensive hothouses and cold
frames in starting early vegetables
that no one should be without one or
more. Crops can be protected in these
until very late in the fall, and semi
hardy plants can be kept in perfect
condition all winter long. When one
raises vegetables for early market, hot
houses are, of course, absolute neces-
stiles, but even the ordinary farmer
needs them for his early crops,
whether he is engaged in the market
gardening business or not. Tomatoes,
lettuce, seed onions and scores of other
vegetables can be started under glass,
months before it is possible to plant
them outside.

America Leads in Astronomy.

america is doing more and better
work in astronomy than the whole Of
Europe combined. S. H. Burnham is
the greatest double-star astronomer
that lives or ever lived" says Sir Rob
ert Ball, professor of mathematics and
astronomy at Cambridge University.
In astronomical matters" he said,
eve in Europe all look to America.
The primacy Of America in these mat
ters is largely due to the climate, which
is favorable to astronomical ObserVa-
ton, but much more to the wealth Of
the American people and the large
sums of money that they devote to as
Economical apparatus. l must admit,
however, that it is also due in part to
the superior talents of the American
astronomers. Both the Yerkes tele-
scope and the Lick telescope are larger
than anything in Europe. 1t may
sound like fulsome fattery, but it is
a cold fact that America is doing more
and better work in astronomy than
the whole of Europe together. Chi,

FertllIzers For Strawberries.

Regarding the effects of different
fertilizers on strawberries, land plas-
ter, when applied to the bed, IS said
to make the berries more brilliant,
though lighter in color Nitrate Of
soda largely increases the size Of the
leaves and berries, but the berries are
said not to be so firm. Sulphate of
potash improves the size and favor
of the berries and also the color and
firmness, while superphosphate in
creases the yield. The kind of soil,
however, is to be considered, as well
as the variety Of strawberry. On
some soils the muriate of potash gives
better results than the sulphate.

pnssInr of the Pomnndour.

The pompadour has lost the vogue
that made It for the last three years
the most popular form Of couture. 1t
is still the fashion most frequently
seen, but it has received its deathblow
There are various reasons for the de-
cline Of the fashion. With straight
hair 1t was always impossible. 1t
needed the waves, which, If they are
not supplied by nature, must be got
from the hair dresser.
This process Of artificial undulation
was destructive to the hair. Now the
effects Of the continued burning re-
sulting from it are said to have become
so apparent that half of the modish
women in Paris are wearing imitation
pompadours.
These imitation affairs are rarely
able to deceive anybody They usually
look wsgy from the other side of thu
room in spite Of the artistic way il
which they are worn.
They are, OF course, fitted over thu
brow and the linen on which they ar
made is very likely to show. If 1t il
not visible it will at least give tn
hair drawn back from it a look o
something that is not nature.
The substitutes, even when the,
were artistically mingled with tn
natural hair, were the beginning of tn
end. The pompadour was dOome
from the time they were first used.
Now it is settled that the mode w.
go altogether as soon as the women c
Paris have hair enough to return to tn
bang or fringe of old, which is sal
to be the fashion of the near future.
