Girls with brown hair make the best wives. being affectionate and truthful. Coquette-A small, well-rouhded chin, with red cushion of flesh and a dim pie; short, saucy nose. The eye of the coquette scarcely needs description; it is always in evidence, and may be long or round. wide or narrow. The cOquette may be a fascinating little creature, but sho is not to be taken seriously.
 Deceit-Eyebrows that meet. Don't trust her; she's fooing thee.
 Determination-Fingers which bend backward and a strong. erect thumb.
 Developed mind-Evenly growing teeth show a good disposition and well-devcl- oped mind.
 Devotion or Devoted Love-A broad chin shows tremendous strength of feel ing. The woman with such a chin is ca pabie of the most devoted love. She is sometimes jealous, but you will rarely find her going for a divorce.
 Dipfomacy-Thc foot is long. broad and rather flat. A person with foot of this type will never get into so tight q place that she cannot get out with ease.
 Economy-A nose which seen in front view of the face looks broad, but in profile little narrow

 Fidelity--A strong moutth with broad, square chin, typifles loyalty through all changes of circumstances.
 Ffrmness-Long finger nails. rather square at the top. Clear-cut eyebrows, with the hairs lying smooth.
 Heartless Flirt-A round face with the nose slightly tilted, although not the real neg retrousse; the edge of the ear flat. as if pressed down; the foot small, of me dium width, with the toes curvinS up- ward.
 Frankness-A long tonguc-lterally moi metaphorically. long.

 It is interesting to remember that irriga- tion In Italy is not matter of necessity but of choice. The rainfall of I.onibardy and Fled mont is about tho same as that of Iowa. Ir- rigated and unirrlgated farms grow exactly the same kind of crops with the exception of rico and ono or two others. Irrigation is used because more and larger crops can be grown snd that difference has made it profitable to eXpend in the valley of this one river SIoO.- 0o0, 600 in building canals. laterals and drain ditches for removing the surplus surface water
 Tt fig not known certainly when this work began. Tho monks of Chsirssvlla. six miles from Milan. began watering their land in l SO, and are credited with introducing inarcite. the most profitable crop in Italy, but the canals and the business organizations which have made the irrigation system of Italy the teacher of the rest of the world are largely the creation of the past forty years. Among the works built during that time are the CavOur Canal. which cost Sl7,ooo. GOO and Is the largest canal system in Europe The Villonce Canal, begun in Is9S and still being extehd- cd. has cost, with its lateras. about So.oOo 900. The Martesana Canal. completed in 1897 cost sl 500 ooo and the list of new canals and the enlargement of old ones. cost ing from S2SO, 900 to sI 900 ooo is sur prisinsly large
 Nearly all these canals continued Pro- lessor Mead. are private works. Many of them are owned by associations Of farmers, and where the canals owned by the Gov eminent by companies the water is almost invariably distributed by the irrigators them selevs. They organize to run thelr canal. when they own 1t. or to buy water at whole sale from the companies. Water is usually bought by the ovlume. One Of these fsrtnerS associations buys .2s% cubic feet of water per second.
