MT. Hurd hazards the following predic- tons:
 Tt appears quite probable that the greater part of the surface of Manhattan Island will be ultimately devoted to bus mess solely, the space above the ground floor, if not utilized for business, being occupied by hotels. apartment houses, flats and tenements. Probably the only exclusive residence occupancy will be in the most fashionable locations on and near Fifth avenue and Central Park, where the very rich, who desire to live in town, can afford to hold their property against the encroachments of business. Even here restrictions running with the land may be necessary, the weakness of their position being that one shop injures an entire block, while one residence may have but little effect on a block of stores.
 Brooklyn, on one side, and Jersey City and Newark on the other, have tended to check the northward movement of some forms of business, and it Is quite to be expected that the general growth in all directions from Manhattan Island will create shopping, hotel and amusement center near the middle of the island, nec- essarily south of Central Park and prob ably between the termini of the new Pennsylvania and Long Island subways and the Grand Central station at Forty second street.

In Memoriam.

William Lee Forbes was born near Sparta, Ga, October IS, 1870. and was killed in a railway collision near Fulton. Ky, the night of September 24. 1902. MT. Forbes came with his parents to Bir- mingham while yet boy. and was edu- cated at Jonesville under the teachings of those noble instructors of youths. Professors Henry and Britain. He chose the honorable but perilous calling of a locomotive engineer, and died. as would brave and true soldier, at the post of duty. Kind hearted, tender and true. he was a loyal friend. a devoted son and a faithful brother. He leaves mother and three brothers, and not only to them but to many others who knew him well. will his memory ever be fragrant with the aroma of a good and unselish life. His body was brought to Birmingham by members of his brotherhood who. with the Elks' lodge. of which he was a prominent member, laid him by his fathers side, on the sunny slopes of Oak Hill cemetery. where he sleeps the sleep that knows no waking.

Good Form to be King.

From the New York Herald
 Now a new fiat has gone forth Let all the world bow down and wofship the new cult. the religion of kind words, for 1t is now considered distinctly bad form to say an i'll word of any one, even ones dearest enemy. If you think Mrs. Vulga positively shocking fin her misuse of Eng fish. you must stifie your thinker before 1t allows the bad form to bubble to the surface in words-it's so very passe to have an evil thought of soul in the world
 Or at least you must not say It out in society. It's quite the proper thing to be delighted with everything and ev- erybody under the sun-the social sun, that is to say. The old way of being su- perior to every kind of entertainment. house. picture friend or pug dog, In a yawn which said very plainly, "very nice, but not half what I've been ac- customed to all my life,' has sone otrt.
 Now you must go about wreathed with smiles of benign charity toward all the world--your world, anyway. What the ministers have been toiliug upward in the night to bring about has sprung into being by 0 single bound at the call of the wizard fashion.

OATS FOR SWINE.
Valuable as a Corrective for InequaII.
 ties of Diet.

N. H. Gentry of Sedalia Mo. 8 noted hog man, advocates feeding of oats to swine. He says. according to the Chicago Drovers' Journal
 T feed some oats the year around. mixed in slops with shipstuff or mid dlings, and in cold weather grind corn with the oats in equal parts and then mix in the shipstuff. Tn cold weather steam the slops, but in warm I do not. Corn, as we all know produces too much fat at the expense of bone and muscle Shipstuff and middlings is a great flesh forming food but when fed alone think 1t produces too much fabbiness along with lack of firrnness of flesh and strength Of bone and muscle. I have fed ground oats for years, and I think no other food equal to them in correcting the inequalities in diet of corn or ship stuff, or both.
 At times I vary the proportions of the three kinds of feed mentioned above, ac- cording to the scarcity or abundance of either, but I feed some of them at all times except in warm weather. l fre- Quently feed corn for a time to such animals as I think need it. For this req son I feed some dry corn in winter and soaked corn in summer in addition to slops If all the feeds were mixed into
  have to be fed alike, except as regards quantity. I believe in feeding young and growing animals all they can prop erly digest at all times, but the kind of food should vary with the condition of the animal and its natural tendency to fatten or grow. Much should depend also whether the animal is to be fully matured and kept for a breeder or be killed for pork, and if the latter, upon the age at which 1t is to be butchered.
 It Is an old togy notion that when a young animal Is too fat 1t must be starved to make 1t right On the other hand. 1t should be fed liberally of such food as will produce bone or muscle, and get little or no feed that will produce fat. It is also an old fogy notion, yet held to by many who should know better, that In order to produce lean meat and muscle animals should be fed sparingly and kept for a long time in thin flesh. Of course, certain amount of exercise is necessary E for the health of any animal, but exercise cannot make flesh or muscle, without food. Lean meat and muscle as well as fat, are produced by the food that goes into the animals mouth; then if the for mer are desired, why feed sparingly of the foods that produce them any more than we should feed sparingly of the foods that produce fat, if 1t is fat we wish?''

sALuTEs AT SEA.
courteses That Must Be Observed
 by Ship Captains.

From the London Standard.
 In the days before cannon and Indeed until comparatively recent times ves- sel made its salutation by lowering it's flag This is the oldest and most hon- orable greeting which ship can give, and it ranks before the booming of guns, however many. This salute has always been demanded by English seamen, and it's exaction has burned the hearts and the powder of generations of naval com manders For a forgein ship, whether merchant or martial, to enter an English port without yelling topsail or lower ing Its national flag was to court the chances of war though the profoundest peace existed. Without warning or argu- ment the shore defenses or a man-of-war sent a round shot across the bows or between the masts of the insolent in- truder, and if the offending flag came not down instanter the foreigner was brought to her senses by being raked through and through. Such was the re- ception accorded by John Hawkins to the Spanish admiral who in time of peace sailed into Plymouth sound without veil ing his topsails or striking his flag The Dutch vehemently resisted the British demand, and it was not until 1873 that they finally agreed to strike the English colors in home waters. The same honor was formally assented to by France in 17O4, although it had been long exacted by Britain.
 Until modern times it was regarded as a high misdemeanor for a merchant vessel to pass one of his majesty's ships without dipping her ensign, and the con- sequence was that shot across her bows compelled her to heave to while her captains name was taken, the ad- miralty instituting a prosecution against Id Cor. aerltc dips her ensign and waits for the man. of-war's dip In return. Then she dips again. and after that in strict etiquette she ought to dip a third time, but this is seldom done now. The maritime su premacy of Britain is still enforced by the refusal of any British war vessel to dip it's flag to any foreign ship until the latter has first lowered it's colors, and this acknowledgment Of precedence is re- quired not only in home waters but Ia all seas.
 But naval salutes are now essential matters of etiquette and are exchanged under an elaborate code arranged be- tween foreign powers and the admiralty in 1876. The number of guns to be fired under all conceivable circumstances Is stipulated. Second to the salute of twen- ty-one guns in honor of royal person. ages and national flags are nineteen rounds given to ambassadors. Colonial governors. foreign possessions and fort resses receive seventeen guns and en- voys extraordinary and ministers pieni- potentiary fifteen. Two guns less are fired for lieutenant governors. Charge d'af- faires are treated to eleven, consuls gen. eral to nine and a mere consul to seven. The salute for admirals or the fleet v seventeen guns and for admirals sim pliciter fifteen. Vice admirals are greet ed with thirteen and rear admirals with two less, while nine guns are fired for commodores, captains and lower officers being classed as not worth rne burning of powder.

 'The average price of land in the finan- cial district varies from $150 to s20O per square foot. Next in the scale comes the women's shopping district, on Sixth av- enue from Fourteenth to Twenty-third streets, also on Twentythird, Thirty fourth and Forty-second streets and on Broadway from Ninth to Twenty-third streets, with an average scale of $60 to s1oO. and an occasional sale such as that at Sixth avenue and Twenty-second street at s1SO, and the northwest corner of Broadway and Thirty-fourth street (hnving an area of less than 2000 square feet), at SS50. The values on the other business streets might average as fol- lows: Fourteenth street, north side S35 south side $60; Twenty-third street, north side S65, south side $l20 Thirty-fourth street. $6O; Forty-second street N0; Fourth avenue, s20; Third avenue, $9; Bowery, Si5. The wholesale district on Broadway from Canal street to Ninth street varies from s3O to s6O per square foot, with the side streets from s20 down to SS. Residence values vary from S60, a fair average for Fifth avenue above Forty-second street. up to s75 for the very best locations facing the Park. The side streets just off Fifth avenue from Thirty fourth to Seventieth street vary from $40 to s9O, and from Seventieth to Ninetieth street from $9O to $2o. The side streets from Fifty-ninth to Seventieth. between Madison and Park avenues drop to s15 or s20 per square foot; from Park to Lexington avenue sl0 per square foot; from Lexington to Third avenue about s5 per square foot. Land in the best res idence district on the west side varies from $7 to s20 per square foot"

The congestion of business on the lower end of Manhattan Island has not only elevated office buildings twenty and more stories in the air, but has sent the price of land up to an almost incredible height. MT. Richard M. Hurd. writing in The Yale Review, gives figures that would seem to show that we come nearer to having golden streets" in locality that in some other respects is not so sug- ing the movements of population and real estate values in Salt Lake City, Se- attle, Richmond and Atlanta. he gives the following interesting figures in re- gard to New York:
 ''The banking district appears to in- clude the most valuable land in the world. the financial section In London being the Wall street and Broad street were sold about thirty years ago at 1850 per square foot, and $450 has been offered for the corner of Wall street and Broadway, by contrast with which The Statist says that f62 tor $300) square foot, includ- ing a fairly substantial building, is the highest price known in London. It is, however, very difficult to arrive at the higest values in the two cities, as the best property changes hands only at long intervals The favorable factors creating high prices in the two cities would be. for London, larger popula- ton. lower capitalization rates, and fair transportation by underground railways; and in New York better transportation facilities, improved methods of building, freer building laws permitting a height of thirty stories by contrast with the London maximum of eight stories, the limited area and narrow shape of Man haitian Island promoting greater concen-

A Tribute to the Memory of Little
 Lloyd Kerr.

There is a reaper whose name is death. and with his sickle keen he cut down the fairest flower of a happy home when lit tie Lloyd Kerr was drowned last Monday afternoon.
 Lloyd was a manly little boy, dutiful, obedient and tenderly devoted to his parents. Bright. handsome and carefully reared, he was the idol of their fond hearts, and the blow seems more than they can bear out God knows best; for Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade Death came with friendly care The opening flower to heaven conveyed. And bade 1t blossom there."

His New Brother.

Yes. I've got a little brother;
Never asked for him from mother.
But he's here;
And s'pose they went and bought him
For last week the doctor brought him
Amt it queer.
When | heard the news from Molly,
Why | thought at first twas jolly;
Cause you see
| just imagined | could get him.
And our dear mamma would let him
Play with him.
But when once had looked at him
| cried out: oh dear is that him?
Just that mlte?"
They said Yes, and you may kiss
him.
Well I'm sure ia never miss him,
He's a fright
He's so small. it's just amazing,
And you'd think that he was blazing
He's so red
And his nose is like a berry,
And he's bald as Uncle jerry
On his head,
He's no kind of good whatever
And he cries as If he'd never
Never stop;
Won't sit up-you can't arrange him.
Oh, why doesn't father change him
AT the shop?
Now we've got to dress and feed him
And we really didn't need him,
Little frog,
And ! cannot think why father
should have brought him when I'd
rather.
Have a dog

with the disappointed hopes Of women
who have failed OF the happiness Of
maternity. But IL is one of the glad
privileges of this same medical cores

number of such cases, the obstacles TO
maternity are overcome by the establish

Not infrequently women write that
they feel perfectly we'll and cannot
understand why they are denied the
maternal happiness which they desire.
Such women learn that feeling we'll and
being we'll are widely different matters.
Few women are by nature debarred from
the happiness OF maternity. In the
majority of cases DIR. Pierces Favorite

medical consultation by letter, are sut-

and extend down the front of the

House gowns are comfort idealized,
The newest designs are carried out

which are just as effective when one

It can not be claimed that house
dresses are simple. Indeed they are
all fuss and frills. Yards and yards
of lace and ribbon are used TO trim
them and the lace must not be toe
inexpensive or it will spoil the effect
of the design. 1t is better TO have

UnCTOWned Queens.

In the original meaning of the word
every woman was a queen, for the word
uueen meant woman. In monarchic
countries the wife of the king became
the queen--fke woman. In America we
give the word back its original meaning
and every woman becomes a queenp
The crown of womanhood is maternity.
Every healthy woman looks forward to
marriage. Every wife looks forward to
motherhood as the crown of witehood.
And vet there are many uncrowned
queens; women who because the desire
for children is unrealized feel that they
have missed the full regal height of
womauhood.
1t is one Of the sad features Of large
