Intensive Agriculture.

The possibilities OF intensive asri-
culture are illustrated in the pot cul-
lures. where all the conditions OF Irri-
cation, drainage and fertilization are
under control. II is declared by Prof.
Cyril @. Hopkins that three times as
large crops are grown In pots as In
the oren field. and that when pot cui-
ture OF plants is TO be used for com.
pairing field work II Is fair TO expect
from the fields only one.third as great
yields rs are obtained from the pots.
This shows that the yield OF the earth
may be increased al least three times
beyond what Il is now. Under such
a system Of agriculture. the world
would support three times Its present
population, even II the present popuia.
ton were all II could support under
existing conditions.

solentIst's Ides OF Beauty.

A famous German scientist. who
has made a life study Of the beauty
of women Of all nations considers that
he found the most perfect aud har.
monious development OF form among
the Japanese. Ills ideal proportions
differ slightly from the standards Of
beauty left US by the Greeks, and
he gives the following as his normal
proportions" OF the perfect figure from
averaging the measurements OF many:
The height should be v and a
half times the length Of the head. ten
times the length Of the face. and the
legs four times the length Of the
head. The shoulders should be two
heads wide. and when standing erect
perfectly developed legs should touch
at the knees. the calves and the
an'le5."
Here. however, some other
measurements which artists general
~ recognize N n standard for beauty.
The stretch Of the thum and middle
finger should just measure the length
Of the face: the thumb and second
finger should exactly circle the neck.
W. G the thumbs and middle fingers
should exactly circle. the level with
the shoulders; the perfect woman
should measure exactly her height
from the tip Of one middle finger to
the other. while the arm hanging
down should reach exactly half way
down the side.

A Fruit Which 10 Closely Related to
the Peach.

The feature which distinguishes the
n~ectarine from the peach In that II
does not have n fuzzy coat. Were II
called n smooth peach. such as II
really Is. the confusion In regard TO II
would be avoided.
II was formerly supposed that the
nectarine was a distinct species and
waa divided like the peach Into free

IN nov known TO be incorrect. Nee.
tarines have been raised from peach
seeds and peaches from nectarines. IL

from the other by bud variation.
which IL sufficient 10 prove that the
difference 10 the result OF either
chance or science.
Nectarines are cultivated like
peaches. but owing to their smooth
skin they are more liable to damage
from the cnrculio than ID the case
With the peach. In California they ars
grown on q commercial scale. but ara
insignificant when compared with tho
peach. the product OF the former be-.
ing less than one-hundredth part that
OF the latter.
In general. n~ectarines viii grow
where peaches do. They are less
hardy than the peach and are shorter
lived. but this IL probably due to the
little attention which the develop
ment OF the fruit has received. Had
the same consideration been given II
that the peach has received there
seems to be no reason why It should
not be as hardy.
On the market the nectarine Is not
as popular az the peach because the
varieties have been less highly de-
veloped. consequently. are inferior.
The only feature that recommends II
Is the smooth skin and this Is not
sufi Client TO overcome the disadvan-
tages.
Were It not for the curculio the po-
sition OF the nectarine might be DIFF

If A MAN is SINCERE

People generally respect man who
convinces them that he is sincere in
his notions, even if they consider the
notions themselves, very cranky. But a
man can not select a better way of
rendering himself an object of con-
tempt than to assume virtue when
he has it not. Such has been Ben Till
mans experience in the Morris Incl
dent.
Illlman, smarting under rebuff
from the President which he had ex-
perlenced and we'll deserved seized
upon the incident to crafty his desire
for revenge and to make political
capital. He exalted his horn as the
great champion of American woman
mood. But the people saw through him
and 1t; and the Senator, like the king
of France:

Here is a partial summary of the
doings of the Fifty-ninth Congress:
The pure food law, the meat inspection
act, the statehood act, the isthmian
canal act settling the question of type
and settling it reasonably, the natur-
alization act the employers liability
act. the national quarantine law, the
free denatured alcohol act. and two
or three other measures of Importance
figure prominently on the congress
SIGNAL account.
But there is another side of the ac-
count. Congress virtually acGuiesced
In the nulli1ication of the Constitution
OF the United States. 1t refused to in
terfere with the inequality of rep
reservation, by which one man in the
South is equal in political power to a
half dozen in the North 1t passed q
resolution of sympathy with the Jews
in Russia, but had no sympathy with
the Afro-Americans in the South. 1t

Fifty-ni1th Congress will be as noted
in history for what it left undone as
for what it did.

SENATOR HOPKINS
Gives Hiss Views on Dissr
In the South.

Gives Hiss.vieass on Dissrancs.isement
In the South.
Speaking of disfranchisement Sen
ator Hopkins said in an interview:
Under the operation Of State con-
situations in this country today. a
comparatively few persons at the
South are intrusted with}power equal
to that enjoyed by great number of
persons at the North.
Take the State of South Carolina
for example, where there are SOC, 900
white persons and 100000 Afro Ameri-
cans. In that state Afro-Americans are
not allowed to vote, and the result is
that the 100000 whites there exercise,
in the Federal Government. as much
power as do 100000 persons in I'LL
nOis.
Now, it is a mere commonplace to
state that such condition is trav-
esty on representative government. If
that order of things continues. the
time will not be long before the liber-
ties Of the people, white as well as
black, will be disregarded. Such a
government may be administered in
telligently for a time, but it can never.
In any sense, be said to be free. The
spirit of unjust discrimination runs
through the warp and wool of it,
weaving political fabric that is oil
garchic and despotic, and subversive
OF republican principles and republi.
can Institutions.

Safety Appliance Act.

The thousands of employees of the
railroads all over the United States
will hold Senator Cullom in grateful
remembrance for his work in drafting
and securing the enactment of the
law providing for the equipment of all

appliances for the coupling and un-
coupling of cars.
This act has been referred to in an
opinion involving the construction and
application of the act by a United
States Judge as

Gus in its purposes, so in harmony

Economic subjects are proverbially

of history will look in vain for more
Important results, dealing with the
