TO DEVELOP The CHEST.
Easy Way by which TO Increase Bust
Measurement Two Inches
In Three Months.

The neck and chest can be developed
finely in three months by the following
rules:
AS you walk about raise the shoulders
quickly and then throw them back and
then down. Count quickly as you do it
1-2-S-raising them to l and so on.
After going through this three times or
more, you are ready to walk properly.
Keep the chest out and be careful each
time not to let the shoulders come for
ward at the last count-3 They must
go down and back, If anything.
AS you walk, continually keep the
chest pushed out and the abdomen and
stomach forcibly drawn in. See how
long you can hold your breath, and, as
you hold it, raise the chest higher and
higher This is what singers do when
they wish to sustain long passages in
one breath.
When you find you must exhaust your
breath, do not let the chest fall. and take
the breath instantly and quietly through
the nose only and by pushing out the
sides Then instantly begin slowly draw
ing in the sides and abdomen and raise
the chest higher and higher.
Any one who will try this will increase
in measure from shoulder to shoulder
and around bust two inches in three
months.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

PROFIT IN CAPONIZING.
A Simple Operation and Some Reasons
Why II Pays the Farmer to
Perform II.

The chief reason for caponizing cock
erels is to get larger profit out of them.
Good capons generally sell for a higher
price per pound than other poultry.
They also weigh more, and are marketed
at time when the flock is bringing lit
tie return. A flock of capons are quiet,
do not crow and are easily taken care of.
The best breeds to caponize are the
medium sized varieties, such as Ply
mouth Rocks, Wyandots, Rhode Island
Reds, etc. The Asiatics do not give as
satisfactory results unless kept until
they reach maturity, when they are so
large as to be beyond the reach of private
families. 1t does not pay to caponiZe
smaller breeds, for they do not produce
dressed fowls of the highest quality. Ca
pons are usually marketed at from
six to y months of age, and the market
for them opens soon after the holidays.
The best time to caponize is when the
cockerels are three to four months old
AT this age the operation can be per-
formed with less danger than when the
birds are older and larger. A bright,
sunny day must be chosen for the op-
Grafton and the birds must have been
tasted for at least "a hours previous. A
special set of instruments are neces-
sary for this purpose, and the work re-
quires skill and care. One may easily
acquire the skill by practicing on a few
dead birds.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Fertilizers on Farms.

That the fertilizer trade has grown
to enormous proportions is shown by
the figures given for the year 1899.
In that year the total expenditure for
fertilizers in the United States was
$54,783,757, or about $40 per farm.
This was about IL per cent. of the
value of all farm products. The out.
lay for fertilizers increased ~ per
cent in the decade 1890 to 1900. Sugar
farms spent an average of $3.50 for
fertilizers. For some other classes of
farms the figures We're: Nurseries,

The South,s Cotton Crnn.

The worlds dependence upon the
product of American cotton fields is
graphically shown in the exports rec.
ords of the fiscal year just closed. In
spite of the phenomenally high prices
for our splendid southern staple, ex.
ports of raw cotton, $31G, 900, showed
an increase of close to $2S, 600, 900
over the preceding year. The value
OF cotton exported constituted more
than 40 per cent. of the entire exports
of domestic products, and was greater
by round million dollars than the
combined value of all cereals and
-four. Every effort should be made to
maintain our supremacy in the

The Bible and the Empire state

ing on how long it would have taken the
people to make tae journey from Dan TO
Beersheba If they could have had the
benefit in the olden times OF the Empire
would have made this Journey in less than
three hours, although from reading Of the
account in the Bible one would think it was a
long journey, and it was for those days with
their limited means of transportation.

minds eye something like the Empire State
in the first chapter of his prophecy. Look
this up and see if you do not agree with
the idea.-F'rom the Troy Daily Times.

Burorean sisters. The American wom-
an is recognized the world over. The
type is besides found in bewildering
variety, yet each is unmistakable. The
blending of many familiar types of
American womanhood in the composite
photograph reproduced herewith af-
fords a unique opportunity for judging
the typical face.
Familiar as the type, or rather
types, are, few perhaps can call up a
definite mental picture of the general
type itself. The composite face of
American women, therefore, fills long
felt want. A score or more of artists
have patTonized the American girl.
The drawings are almost always in
teresting, many of them are charming
and ell may be readily Unidentified as
the American girl, yet no two are alike
or even similar. No other country in
the world, it is safe to say, affords
such an opportunity to it's artists. In
England, for instance, there is a well
known type of beauty, somewhat pale
and eXpressionless, perhaps, but un-
misiakable English. And there is only
one. In America there is often q single
family in which every daughter il
illustrates an entirely distinctive beau
ty, yet without losing the family re-
semblance.
The composite photograph combines
ss far as possible the most character
istic types Of American beauty as IL
lusuated by twenty well known New
York women. 1t is too much of
course, to claim that the list is COM
ple,e, but it is at least fairly represen-
tative. Nor can 1t be claimed for
such blending that the ideal type of
American beauty has been attained
So varied and distinctive are the types
that hundreds of types would have to
be considered in such a balance The
composite face, however, is as general
and representative as it we'll can be.
Compare it with the typical beauties
of other countries, allowing for the
impressionistic effect inseparable from
such picture, and the result to the
most critical eye cannot fail to be re-
assuring.
The American woman as portrayed
IN her composite photograph contrasts
strildngly with the typical faces of
other countries. The face is perhaps.
less nervous than that of the typical
French woman, especially the young
French woman, but to the American
eye, at least, it seems better balanced.
in contrast with a characteristic Eng
lish face the difference is especially
marked. The two faces express an en-
tirely different mentality The Amer
lean woman, set beside her English
cousin, suggests wider and more varied
interests and an unmistakable air OF
independence which strangely becomes
her. Compared with the typical
Teutonic face, the American woman
appears the more alert and
vivacious.
Among those whose photographs
make up the composite are Miss Helen
Morton, Mrs. Chauncey M. Depew
Mrs. Payne Whitney, Miss Alice Roose-
welt, Miss Nathalie Schenck, Mrs
Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr. and Mrs
John Jacob Astor Kansas Cit,
