We should store the floods and regu.
late the dow OF streams throughout
the land. We should adopt policies
which will everywhere facilitate the
subdivision of the soil into
small holdings. and the growth Of in.
dependent homes upon these holdings.
Even in those sections which are most
densely peopled, and, perhaps, least
favored in natural advantages-New
England, for example-there is much
to be done in improving natural con.
ditions and opening new opportunities
for successful rural settlement.
But it is not enough to make the
land ready for Its highest uses; the
people must also be made ready to
utilize the land Every boy and girl
should leave the public schools pre-
pared to make living, and to collect
it from mother earth herself, when
they desire to do so. This Is distinctly
in line with our great need of incTeas-
ing economic efficiency, and thus en-
abling the country to meet the de.
mands of increasing population. The
South is beautiful and promising as
it is, but how much more beautiful
and promising it would become with
the adoption of public policies which
would mako the utmost of its natural

The most amazing thing about the
South Is the cheapness of its fertile
agricultural lands. though one hears

up considerably during the past few
years. They must have been giving

10 persons will each win one box containing
$500 gold piece.
800 people will each win box containing ST 90

In Old Ireland.

In connection with what is known
as the Irish revival" an interesting
work has been started by Irish laoles
in a village close by Dublin.
Three industries we're selected,
oamely, the printing Of books, embroid-
erinr on Irish linen and the weaving
of tapestry and carpets; and some
exquisite work has been produced.
One of the leading ideas of the pro-
moters has been to produce things
which will be recognized as Irish ooth
In style and design. In the carpets,
for example. all ordinary patterns are
discarded in favor Of those recogniz'
ably Irish.

Many .ngenious Tools.

The tools which are instrumental In
performing this ingenious sculpture
by machinery are what are known as
pneumatic tools, that is, they arc op.
Grated by compressed air instead of
by steam or electricity. The type most
commonly used might be described az
a combination hammer and chisel, and
how much more speedily such can
work than could workman with the
oldfashioned chisel and hammer may
be appreciated when 1t 10 stated that
by means of the compressed air the
hammer is made to strike hundreds
of blows per minute.
In this mechanical chiseling the
pneumatic tool, which is a portable
piece of apparatus, Is held in the hand
Of a workman and by him guided
back and forth on the stone surface
wherever cutting is to be done. The
compressed air is led to the tool
through a rubber hose, and the oper-
ator can with the utmost ease and
at moments notice regulate the
force of the hammer blows according
to the depth Of the cutting required.
Moreover different styles Of pneu-
matte tools are provided for the va
rious classes Of work to be performed
in producing a statue or other monu-
ment. For instance, there is one tool
for light carving. tracing and letter
ing on granite, and different one for
heavy carving and large raised letters
The tools require from five to seven
cubic feet Of free air per minute to
operate them. In the battlefield memo.

But the Southern truck-gardener
and fruit-grower can reach great cities
in every direction In twelve, twenty.

rounded by mining and manufacturing
ceaters and has quick access to the big
cities Of the North. He is favored, of
course, by the latitude, which enables
him to produce both the necessaries

Jack Frost still holds the earth in his
grip above Mason and Dixon's line.
In the matter of transportation, the
new settler la the South is fortunate.
Compared with newer sections of the
country, the South Is gridironed with
railroads. Not only so, but it enjoys
important natural advantages in the
way of navigation, both interior and
exterior. 1t is manifestly good rail-
road policy to facilitate the settlement
Of tributary railroad territory by max
ing rates which encourage colonization
and enable the settler to prosper. Rail.
road earnings and values increase
rapidly with population and develop
ment.

who desire to improve their conditions

avail himself OF these opportunities

The United States should drain the
Southern swamps for precisely the
same reason that 1t stores the waste
flood water to irrigate the Western
deserts in order that we may widen
the foundations of our national life,

their habitations. We should preserve

OF future generations who cannot have
the aid of any veteran OF the great
conflict to guide them to the points
of interest.
The tablets, statues, monuments and
other memorials which are finding
place in rapidly increasing numbers
upon these historic battlefelds have
been erected in some instances by the
Congress of the United States, but In
a majority OF cases the expense has
been betrayed by States or by veteran
or patriotic organizations. Some OF the
memorials are mute testimonials to
the bravery of fallen comrades, while
others are tributes to the command
ers conspicuous in this engagement
or that. However, the matter does not
stop here and of late many commem0-
rative masterpieces of sculpture have
been installed to mark in each in
stance the exact spot rendered memor-
able by some notable assault or de-
fense or some other unusual event in
the great drama of the War for the
Union.
