The Two New States.

The area of New Mexico is 122, 500
square miles and that of Arizona 49,
200 square miles. The state of New
York has an area of $4,000 square
miles, and all New England has only
some 61,000 square miles. In other
words, either of the two new states
is as large as the Empire State and the
six New England states, with two or
three Delawares thrown in for good
measure. Together the two western
commonwealth are equal, or very near
equal, in area to the German empire
or the republic of France. AS to the
agricultural possibilities of the new
states, 1t may be said that with the
help of irrigation and the dry farm
ing principle there is no reason why
they should not become great agricul-
tural eenters.-New York American.

A Great Artists Great Hat.

A very great artist in New York
wears very large hat when painting
portraits. So wide Is the brim that his
brushes must have long handles. He
is obliged to have them made to order
The brim keeps him at a judicious dis
lance from his canvas, makes his work
broader. but 1t takes charity in gen
erous measure to believe that he wears
the hat for the sake of his painting.
William Morris converted those of
fine mind among his contemporaries to
the belief that nothing should be plac-
ed in a home unless to serve some
practical purpose; that the things for
use should be useful, but that there
should be no ornaments for garniture
simply. How much we need such
theory now In dress! The hat of this
great artist, with its brim so wide that
only with long handled brushes can
he reach his canvas, is only an agra
waited form of the absurd vanities now
prevalent in Greater New York

War Heroes of the Future.

The romance of battle, which seemed
over with the passing of its cavalry
charge-no longer possible against ma
chine gun fire-returns on wings. 1ndi-
vidualism of exploit returns. An army
