New York Tribune.
A dowager of the old school remarked
not long ago that in the days of her youth
there were three things that nobody ever
discussed in good society-their religion,
their health and their money matters. In
these degenerate days. she added. there are
no topics of conversation which are regard
ed with greater favor. When stocks and
shares fail to produce exchange of
thought, when the possibilities of appendi-
citis have been exhausted, our religious
beliefs remain topic of absorbing inter-
est. Perhaps this is due to the emancipa-
ton of the feminine mind. In the days
when women were not expected to have
any opinions and religious ones were re-
garded with absolute horror, religion man.
ifestly could not be a topic of intelligent
conversation in society composed of both
sexes; but to-day, when they have ideas
of their own on this. on other matters,
the supreme interest which has always at
tached to the religious problem has assert
ed itself, and religion has become topic
which can be openly discussed in good So
ciety.

AMERICAN GIRL: A PROTEST.



Julian Ralph. In Booklovers' Magazine.
An American artist who lives abroad ana
who visited New York recently said that
IT is the habit of the English to marvel at
the beauty OF the women drawn by one or
two OF our illustrators. Now that have
been here a week." he added, 81 wonder
that there are only two or three Of our
illustrators drawing practically one con-
ventional type Of face, for / see that the
abundance and variety of feminine beauty
here are beyond belief and computation"
He Is right. Instead of celebrating the riot
of womanly and girlish beauty in our land.
the two artists who have won fame by
their work both libel and belittle IL. They
libel 1t because they draw as the Chinese
Unconventional faces made up of a series
of unvarying tricks of line. They belittie
our splendid treasury Of womanly beauty
because they ignore IT and draw faces OF
their own imagining. They force their
types upon us. until most of US imagine
that such faces exist. But some of us
know better.
The leader, who has had his girls named
after him as IL to show that they exist only
at his pencils point, Is a master whose skill
In line ranks him second only 10 Abbey.
But he draws his own lines instead OF ma
lures. When he sits before fresh card
board he thinks of how he must draw In
support of his past work, OF himself. OF his
own arbitrary lines His nearest rival.
also a finished artist. once big with high
capacity. equally shuns flesh and blood and
forming of mouth, nose, an ear, or a
pose of the head. True. there never was an
artist whose work was in great demand
who did not stamp Ii with characteristics
which betrayed its authorship to his
taries. From Botticelli 10 Du Maurier, and
before and since, this has been the case.
But examine Botticellfs faces. examine the
drawings OF Du Maurier, Keene and Phil
May. and you will come TO see that their
first object was to reproduce real faces
they saw them. They never sat down 20 a
Du Maurier mouth, a Keene man, or a
Phil May girl. Though they did confine
their sketches to the types they liked best
they drew these conscientiously Gas Mr..
Smedley does to-day. and we recognized
the humanity in each OF them. Our two
most famous beauty artists are different.
They are more stilted than Hokusai was
We have had enough OF their slurring OF
American beauty, enough OF the nonexist-
ent - girl and the - tyne" II
is time that our editors and publishers de-
manded drawings of real women. II is time
that all our illustrators who have strnyed
from the truth were sent back 10 the
source of all true inspiration, real life. IL
is time that the rich types OF American
beauty were seen in our books and PERIOD
icals.

ANCIENT GREclAN CANES
Roxiou, Wrestling, Racing and Other
Wonderful Athletic Ex-
erciSeS.

Worlds Fair, St.@Louis, Feb. IS:
The greatest event in the athletic
world on this side of the Atlantic
during the present decade will be
tbe Olympic games at the Worlds
Fair in this city in 1904. r2'aEao.71 2j@
The holding of these games for
the first time on American soil has
beeu cancelled to. Chicago by the
management but the necessary post
pouement of the Worlds Fair led
TO reconsideration Of the matter,
Chicago taking the initiative and
courteously agreeing to their trans
fer to St. Louis. These games are
held once in four years and are a
revival of the famous Olympic
games of Greece. The Olympic
games of Grecian history were con-
tests for men and boys and consisted
of leaping, wrestling, boxing,
throwing the spear and disc. racing
in armor, chariot racing, horse rae
ing, etc. The games were the chief
feature of the quadrennial festival
of the Olympic Zeus,, held ON the
plain of Olympia, in the province
Of Ellis near the coast southwest of
Athens. The festival was celebrated
in a sacred enclosure called the AL
lis $40 by $50 feet full of temples
and affairs; the games in a stadium
or hippodrome on the east side of
the Altis and connected with it by
numerous passages. On the West
side of the Altis was an extensive
gynasium for the use of athletes in
training.
The games were held every four
years in midsummer and covered a
period of four days. The exact
lime of holding was regulated by
the phases of the moon. The date
was announced in advance of each
festival by heralds sent through all
The provinces of Greece proclaiming
cessation of hostilities and declar-
ing the territory of Ellis inviolable
during the festival season, Pill
grims with sacred offerings and
great PROFESSIONS of the people
crowded the Olympic plain by the
lime of the opening.
On the first day after religious
ceremony of presenting offerings,
me athletic competitors were prop
trly classed and arranged by the
Judges who then led them in pro-
ceSSlon around the stadium and !

Africa and Home Seekers.

We are asked whether Africa POS
sesses those qualities which will make
1t a desirable home for white men seek
ing farms. No one of the several conti-
nents HIS more marked characteristics
than Africa. The rich lowlands border
ing the ocean are probably the most
unhealthful region in the whole world /,
so unhealthful that it is impossible for
white man to live there. The largest
and most arid desert in the world is
found in the northern portion of this
continent. The country near the source
of the Nile and almost under the equa-
tor, while possessing a healthful eleva-
ton, abundant timber and rainfall, will
always be the home of the black man.
The southern portion Of the continent.
occupied by the Beers and different ma
tive tribes, while possessing a more
temperate climate, will probably al
ways be pastoral country II may be
said in a word that Africa as a whole
is purely tropical coL-Itry, and as
such its conditions will not favor its
settlement by white poole from the
temperate zone

About Fish Ponds.

A reader of these notes wants to
know something about artificial fish
ponds-how to make and care for one.
Two things are necessary, one an un-
failing supply of pure water, which
may be obtained either from a natural
spring or an artesian well If the water
is not mineralized, the other location
for the pond where it will be exempt
from the action of food water in wet
time. Given these conditions the pond
should be not less than eight feet in
depth in the center and of any size de-
sired corresponding to the flow of wa
ter from the spring. In such pond our
ordinary food fishes-pike and black
bass being the best-should do well if
properly fed. Suckers, redhorse and
carp should be kept out, also pickerel,
which are water wolves A close watch
will have TO be kept on predatory
minks. We have never known of case
where fish culture in this manner was
made commercial success, but as a
pleasing pastime and to furnish sup
ply of fish for home use it can be done
where the conditions named exist.

Two Views of Alfalfa.

A friend in Minnesota writes us stat
ing that alfalfa cannot be made a sue
cess without irrigation; that there is
not sufficient rainfall in Minnesota,
Iowa and Illinois to make the plant a
success. He further says that even
where it can be raised it is the poorest
crop ever put in the ground and that
as hay it will only bring one-fourth as
much as timothy or one-third as much
as clover. He concludes by saying that
alfalfa is fad. being doomed by men
that have seed and land sharks that
have worthless land to sell and advises
Iowa farmers to stick to timothy clo-
yer and blue grass and even foxtail, but
TO let alfalfa alone. This is one view.
Here is another view from an old
friend in Washington. He writes us
that he has 100 acres in alfalfa, from
which he made last year $50 tons OF
hay, worth there now $12 per ton. He
says that ii is the most valuable crop
which he can raise, all kinds of stock
keeping in good flesh upon ii without
any grain whatever, including his work
horses, unless they are constantly driv-
en-. He last year secured three cuttings
and then had fall feed foot high until
the middle of November, and all this
without irrigation. Which of these two
men is right?

Some Wonderful Migrations,

The wild life of this country is so
nearly wiped out by our modern civil
ization that stories relating to il of the
pioneer days are hard to believe. We
recall wonderful migration of black
and gray squirrels which took place on
the outskirts of the big Wisconsin tim
Der in the year 1856. Along in October
OF that year these little rodents could
be seen by the score at any hour or the
day for period of ten days scamper-
ing along the rail fences. all bound in
southwes,crly direction. Every clump
of trees in tile clearings In their line OF
march was filed with them, and one
could stand near a rail fence and shoot
at them all day long as fast as he could
load and fire. Another migration OF ex-
traordinary proportions in those days
was that Of the wild pigeons, which in
focks, millions in number, darkened
the skies and took hours to pass CIV
en- point--a destroying host which
swept the farmers newly sown grain
fields as with a broom. In smaller
way in an early day the blackbirds-
the yellow and black grackles and the
redwing-might be seen in the fall OF
the year migrating south in f1ocks al
most equal in number to the pigeons.
the pioneer farmer had TO contend
with, The squirrels and the pigeons
are all gone. and only in the i1arshy
sections of the country are any OF the
blackbirds left to speak.
