shape of its flower, which, though
somewhat insignificant, is peculiar
from its being borne upon the sur

green and variegated. The aspidistra

being evergreen, it is especially, valu-

LANk ENcLish WOMEN

How Measured ents o. Americans and

The searching glare Of the law
courts has been brought to bear upon
the subject Of the English woman's
figure. says a writer in the Gentle

between q wholesale costumer and a
draper expert opinion was called to
compare the figures OF English
women to those Of the American and
French.
Il was discovered that Americans
lack the English woman's height,
though their shoulders are broader

But the length from neck to waist

the subject, in which all the witnesses

Because OF the fundamental char
acter of the process of drainage, its
effects are numerous and far reaching.
Ten of the most important ones may
be given as follows:
/. Drainage removes the excess of
water from the surface and from the
pores in the soil, thereby rendering it
more firm.
Poorly drained soil has the two-fold
disadvantage of lack of stability and
firmness and great susceptibility to
physical notifications injurious to
most farm crops Such injury may be
caused by any tillage operations, by
tramping and by the natural drying of
the soil.

change an un%favorable physical con

the change from a puddled to a granu-
lar soil. Such physical changes are
most pronounced in fine teXtur ed soil.
The change is produced primarily by
the alternate wetting and drying to
which well-drained soil is subject.
Poorly drained soil is usually in a
bad physical condition. 1t is compact
and impervious. 1t is well known
that the filth of a soil rapidly i'm
proves as a result OF drainage

drainage increases the amount of
moisture available to crops. This is
the result of two factors. First, when

crops. This is, of course the obvious
purpose of drainage as applied to ag-
r%iculture. 1t is one of the two fnnda-
mental purposes of drainage, the 9th
er being increased healthfulness. The
Increase varies with the original con

swamp land, such as is included in
the first group of drainage conditions,
the difference is that between no crop
