Gobbling More Land Than There Is.


Although Florida is the second
largest State east of the MISSISSIPPI,
more than one-half its area is classi-
fed as swamp or overflowed land. In
1S47 the Federal Congress granted
to the State all the National lands
within it's borders which were wholly
or partly submerged, on condition
that such areas should be drained
and sold to settlers, the net proceeds
after paying the cost of reclamation
to be given to the State school funds.
By the terms of this grant Florida
received 100000 acres. more than
one-half its total area, and in 1885
the State Legislature vested the con-
troll Of these lands in the Board of
Trustees of the Internal Improve
ment Fund.
In 1905 the State owned less than
100000 acres Of this vast grant.
Seventeen million acres of swamp
and overlooked land had been given
away to railroads, canal and develop
ment corporations by one large-heart-
ed Legislature after another. If cor
porations have no souls, neither have
they a sense of humor, for in this in
stance they set up claims to 7,O0O,-
900 acres more which they said had
been promised them, or 100000
acres more than there was left to be
handed over to them.-"From Deck

Cost OF Census.

Admitting the value of the statis-
tics gathered to many forms of re-
search, to commerce and to many
other interests and activities, the
question remains whether the infor-
nation compiled at such an enormous
expenditure has practical value in
proportion to it's cost. 1t must be re-
membered that the scope of the CEN
sus is now so great that it takes sew
eral years after the information has
been collated before 1t can be all put
in form for practical use, and by that
time, in a country where industries
are expanding as they are in the
United States, much of this informa-
ton is out of date before it is Access
sible to the public.
The original purpose of the census
was to secure inaccurate enumeration
of the population necessity under
our constitutional system for the cor
rect apportionment of representation
In Congress. Vital statistics were
then collated, as proper complement
to such an enumeration. Now there
has been added a census of all indus
tries, of crop statistics and the like.
It would seem that the full limit has
been reached and that no further ex-
pansion of the census activities is
needed.-Seattle .Post-Intelligencer.

The first necessity of a Christian
church is not that it should have a
building to worship in, or minister
to preach to it, or an organ to lead
its singing. These things may all be

full is that it should have such a Wis

AND STILL THE SCARF.

Scarfs are still reigning supreme
over other forms of wraps-in fact,
they are carried by both young and
old, tall and short However, the
clever woman has found that a plain
scarf does not drape quite gracefully
over the shoulders, so she has taken
a tuck in the centre back, about six
inches deep, which she fastens at the
top with either a stitch or two or with
a plain gold pin. This makes the
scarf hang prettily in back and in
front. 1t really makes the whole eff

WOMEN IN SCOTCH UNIVERSITY.
Scotland is making great strides
in the higher education for women.
There are 667 women enrolled as
students in the University of Glas-
gov, more by 100 than in any previ-

plants that the young women are in
terfering with the educational
chances of the men enrolled as stu
dents, which is a repetition of the
trouble which has broken out more
than once in the University of Chi

Glasgow University, however, are
held largely together in separate
building known as Queen Margaret's
Hail. AS has been the case wherever
women are offered the opportunity of
higher education, these Scottish
girls are proving more than match
for their male rivals. Many of the

HOW THEY AGREE.

A man and a woman marry; they
have widely opposite views on all
questions; neither wants to give in,
and the usual wrangling follows.
Who can say which is right? Who
can say which is honest? A story
coming from Kansas City illustrates
how near the average man and his
wife get together on any question.
Frank Land brought suit for divorce,
charging that his income is only Sl2
week, and that his wife bought
s12 hat. Mrs. Land replies as fol-
lows:
This hat cost only sixty-nine cents.
Why, l made it with my own han IS!
l bought the framework. He wouldn't
even pay for that. / had TO borrow
the money from mamma. l never
had a hat costing more than SO in my
life. See the trimming on this hat?
1t cost me just thirty-five cents. Did
he pay for it? No-never! l bought
it with my own money. And Frank
gets SIS week instead of S12."
And this is a good illustration of
the manner in which a husband and
wife agree.-Atchison Globe.
BE STYLISH, IF YOU DIE FOR 1T.
Sanity seems to vanish when fash
ions for women are invented. Last
summer short dresses were worn;
now in midwinter skirts are of trail
ing length. Common sense would
dictate a reversal of this order, but
common sense apparently is absent
when the Woman'S designer begins
work Again, the craze for clinging
effects has been carried to such an
extreme that women are going out in
winter weather insufficiently clad.
The old-fashioned, comfort-giving
petticoat has been discarded, and
there is no more protection for the
arms than that afforded by tight
fitting sleeves of gauze. 1t will be
strange, indeed, if there is not big
increase in pulmonary complaints
among women. They arr inviting it
in variety of ways. Another queer
fashion, though not necessarily I'M
healthful in effect, is to carry no furs
except a muff The woman who
thinks herself fashionable leaves her
neck ami shoulders free from al furs,
but strives 10 break all records in the
size of her muff. The larger the muff
the more fashionable at present. A
front view of the New York girl this
winter shows a huge muff, head
above it and feet below. How women
submit to this system of cruelty is
mystery to men.-New York Press.
