SLIDING GATE IN PLUME.

DOwie, Jr., an expert in the irrigation
and drainage Investigations of the de-
partment of agriculture, has noted
some interesting points of practice in
recent report OH irrigation in the
north Atlantic states.
The advantages to be gained from ir-
rigation are limited to certain crops.
Such field crops as timothy, clover,
wheat, rye, oats and corn are not par
ticularly affected by droughts of short
duration. The value of such crops in
eastern Pennsylvania will usually lie
between SO and $50 per acre, and irri-
CATION in such instances would hardly
pay under present conditions. The
case of truck crops is entirely differ
ent. The value of a single crop will
often be $500 to 81 500 per acre, and
usually two to three crops are grown
on the same land in year. Crops of
this nature are much more sensitive to
drought than field crops.
The success of irrigation under the
to cheap water supply, but to the high
value of crops grown and the careful
distribution of the small quantity of

meadow land in Pennsylvania lies
near the lids of small creeks fed by
springs. Small dams constructed of
timber back filled with earth are built
to raise the water sufficiently high to
cover the land, but not for storage.
They are usually small affairs, cheaply
constructed, costing from 50 to $40.
The use of wells as source of irriga-
ton is quite limited. Many farmers
near the large cities use city water for
irrigation, since if the farm is small
and the use of water is limited it is
thought to be cheaper than pumping.
The reason for the prevalence in the
east of the sprinkling method of irri-
cation, which is practically unknown
in arid sections. lies in two important
differences III the conditions of irrga-
ton practice-first, the quantity of wa
ter applied in one irrigation in the east
must be small owing to the risk of
sudden and heavy rains which would
swamp a crop if falling soon after a
heavy irrigation, and, second, the soils
used for truck farming in the east are
not, as a rule. so capable of storing and
retaining water as the arid soils, so
that a heavy irrigation once month
will not answer the needs of garden
crops in the east. With the sprinkling
system it is possible to apply uniform
" as small a quantity of water as de-
sired. while with burrows enough must
be applied to run through the burrows
and soak laterally 10 the roots of the
plants. Noting the use of handmade
canvas hose to carry water downhiil
from the pump under very light pres

EASTERN IRRIGATION,

Economical and Successful Methods
In North Atlantic States.
According TO the popular conception,
the field for irrigation is the arid or
semiarid region in the west and does
not extend to the humid east, where
the supply of moisture is considered
sufficient for the growth of crops. The
distribution of rainfall, however, is so
uncertain that crops throughout the
east often suffer from droughts With
out irrigat ton certain crops, such as
strawberries, celery and caulifower,
may be entirely lost. Economical and
successful methods of irrigation adapt
ed to humid conditions are. however,
quite extensively used. August j.

"Thorns and Orange Blossoms"

The new Rowland and Clifford play
"Thorns and Orange Blossoms,
which was produced in Chicago, is
from the pen of the prolific writer,
Lem b. Parker, who is also respon-
sible for number of other successes.
From the start "Thorns and Orange
Blossoms" was a hit and the largest
business of the season resulted from
its engagement in Chicago. "Thorns
and Orange Blossoms" is not a lurid
melodrama, but a comedy drama,
with a set of characters that are
thoroughly interesting. Rowland e
Clifford have mounted this new play
superbIy and it is one of the ten pro-
auctions that is being exploited by
this progressive firm this season.
..Thorns and Orange Blossoms will
be presented at the Gennett Wednes-
day night.

BRITISH NAVAL. oUNNERY.
Worlds Record Made by Petty officer
Of Flagship and Other Mar
velous Shooting.

British naval %squadrons in all
parts of the world have recently
been busy with their annual gun
merry competitions. The Channel
squadron held it's competition
at Portsmouth, the Mediterra-
mean squadron at Malta. In the
preliminary practice of the At
lantic squadron, under Sir w. III.
May, Petty Officer Giles, of the
flagship King Edward VII,
made a worlds record by secur-
ing II hits out of IL rounds from
a 6-inch rapid-firer (1O0-pound
%projectile) in a single minute.
In the regulation run Of six
minutes past the ordinary serv-
ice target, which was about 1,6OO
yards distant from the ship, the
gun crews of the 12.inch weapons
fred IA projectiles of $50 pounds,
and all except one hit the tar
get, a percentage Of nearly SO.
Thirty-three projectiles were dis
charged from the 99-inch weap-
ons, and 30 of these found their
billet, equivalent to over 80 per
cent, while from the 6-inch guns
1O1 rounds we're fred, and 81 of
these were hits, a percentage of
about 81.
These records have never been
equaled in any fleet, and rebound
greatly to the credit of the Off

they indicate hard work and per-
sistent practice. Eighty-eight

by the woman of his choice, of her
steadfast faith in him and loyalty
to his interests, can do nought but
hang his head in shame when he
realizes that he has forgotten the
vows of the wedding day, that he
has subjected her to pity that is
sometimes worse than scorn; that
he has perhaps turned away from
her pleading voice and fearful eyes
to bask in the smiles of one whose
loyalty and love is like the mist of

FEMALE

If Christianity may be said to
have given a permanent elevation
to women, as an intellectual and
mortal being, it is as true that the
present age, above all others, have
given play to her genius, and
taught us to reverence its influ-
ence. 1t was the fashion of other
times to treat the literary acquir-
ments of the six as starched ped
antry or vain pretention to stig-
matizethem as inconsistent with
those domestic affections and vir-
tues which constitute the charm of
society.
These things, have in a great
measure passed away. The pre-
JUDGES, which dishonored the sex,
have yielded to the influence of
truth. By slow but sure advances
education has extended itself
through all ranks of female soci-
ETY.. There is no longer any dread,
lest the culture of science should
foster that masculine boldness or
re stless independence, which
alarms by it's sallies, or wound
by it's Inconsistencies. We have
seen that there, as everywhere
else knowledge is favorable to hui
m an virtue and human happiness;
that the refinement of literature
adds luster to the devotion of
piety that true learning like true
taste, is modest and unostentati-
GUS; that grace of manners re-
ceives a higher polish from the
disciplin of the schools; that oul-
tivated genius sheds a cheerful
light over domestic duties, and it's
very sparkles, like those of the
diamond, attest at once it's power
and purity. There is not a rank
of female society, however high
which does not now pay homage
to literature, or that would not
blush even at the suspicion of
that ignorance, which a half cen
fury ago, was neither uncommon
nor discreditable. There is not a
parent whose pride may not glow
at the thought that his daughters
happiness is in a great measure
within her own command, whether
she keeps the cool, sequestered
vale OF life, or visits the busy
walks of fashion.

Sure Guide to Happiness.

Addison, in one of his "Sir
Roger De Coverley" sketches,
says: "a mans first care should
be to avoid the reproaches of his
own heart; his next to escape the
censures of the world; if the last
interfcres with the former it
ought to be entirely neglected"
If we may judge from experience
and from the sights and sounds
around us, this is scarcely the
principle which directs the con-
duct of many of us. And yet
there is an immense amount of
practical commOn-sense wisdom
in AddisOn's dictum, for in avoid
ing the reproaches of his own
heart a man is taking the surest
step toward the highest good
happiness. = Philadelphia Led
