Rfqaest Dam In the World.

The secretary Of the interior has di-
rected the reclamation service to take
up Immediately the extensive prelim-
mary work on the Rio Grande project
in New Mexico and Texas, so that
actual construction on the foundations
OF the Eagle dam shall be finished by
July, 1911.
The Rio Grande project, of which
the Eagle dam is the most important
engineering feature, will provide for
the reclamation of 100000 acres of land
lying in New Mexico, Texas and Mex
leo, in the valley where irrigation be-
gan before the discovery Of America.
1t is estimated that the entire pro
ject will cost approximately $9,000,000.
The Eagle dam as planned by the rec
laIuatiOn service will be one Of the
most remarkable structures of its kind
in the world. 1t will be of rubble con
crete, gravity type, with a maximum
height of 265 feet, length Of crest ], 400
feet, and will contain 100000 cubic
yards. The reservoir created by 1t
will be the largest artificial body of
water in the world, having a capacity
of 2,538,O0 acre feet, or enough water
to cover that many acres a foot deep
Its capacity is nearly double that OF
the Roosevelt dam in Arizona and is
considerably greater than that of the
famous Assouan dam, constructed and
/ recently enlarged by the English en-
gineers on the Nile.

PAYS TO ENCOURAGE BIRDS
Assertion Made That Farmers Would
Find II to Their Interest to
Protect Songsters.

What may be done in the encourage
ment of naturally migratory song birds
to remain north during the winter has
been demonstrated at the farmhouse
of George E. Hoxsie during the last
winter, where colony of II bluebirdS
have contentedIy lived and apparently
enjoyed their quarters in the bird
houses where they were reared last
summer.
1t is quite interesting to watch their
modes of living, as their habits Of pro-
curing food have to be entirely differ
ent from what they are in summer.
Every fairly pleasant morning by
the time it is light they fly away and
are not seen again until near sunset,
when they return individually and go
into the bird houses, several occupying
one house, and all on the same build
ing.
Mr.. Hoxsie has about his place %
bird houses, all of which were accu-
pied last season, there being two nests
OF bluebirds and 20 nests OF stump
swallows.
Besides these there were raised
about the buildings four nests of barn
swallows, one nest of chimney swal-
lows, and seven nests of cave swal-
lows. As these would average four
young birds TO each nest, the number
raised, with the old ones added, would
make approximately 200 birds.
Then there were within 500 feet Of
the house ten robin nests, one oriole,
one waxwing, one house wren, two
chippins, two ground sparrows and one
king bird, making in all Is nests, and
with these young and old added would
make a total of 300 notwithstanding
sOngsters that were not only a contin-
ual joy, but a source of rare profit in
the great number Of gnats, lies, bugs
and worms daily consumed.
Mr.. HOxsie attributes a big yield of
apples last season to the destruction
by the birds of the insect pest that In
fects the apples from bloom to finish.
If every farmer would put up few
suitable bird houses it would soon
make a vast difference to the raising
of farm products.-Westerly Sun.

SET FUDGE ON HIGH
THE STANDARD OF CIVILIZATION
HAS BEEN SET.
Femininity In Absolute Accord on
the Subject-InVentor Merits More
Approval Than She Has Yet
Been Accorded.

At last a standard of civiIizatiOn-of
feminine civilization-has been set, ac-
cording to the Cleveland Leader.
The masculine one has not as yet
been reached, and the difficulty Of ar
irving at a GeneTaI standard is at once
apparent.
With femininity, however, there was
little or no trouble. The sex unites
upon a single test. That made, the
examination is passed with hOnors-
The case of the Misses Chang, whose
father is the new Chinese minister to
the United States, is a most pertinent
Illustration. According to their gov
erness, who has had a wide expert
ence with outside barbarians, these
young Chinese girls are the most in
telIigent students of English she has
ever known and are showing mar
veIous results. Most significant Of all,
they have not only fallen a victim to
fudge, but they are experts in its man.
ufaCtuTe.
Nothing more is needed to admit
them to equality, social, moral, reli-I
gious and intellectual, with the girls
of this nation. They have become
Americanized in the biggest sense Of
, the word And they will stand in the
very first rank of feminine civilization,
because the records show that they
make fudge three times a day, and
only heaven knows how often they
| nibbIe at 1t.
1t doesn't need this celestial ap-
proval to show the heavenly qualities
of fudge. 1t is the most popular
course in every feminine boarding
school or college. and while not Off
cialIy recognized in the curricula OF
public schools, it is there just the
same
History knows that Dolly Madison
J invented ice cream, and a grateful
world talks of raising statue to her.
But all that is known of the discov-
erer of fudge is the slight fact that
she was a Vassar college girl and that
she hit upon the delicious compound.
like so many other inventions Of great
moment to the world have been made,
in a casual way.
From another point of view her
discovery is unique. improvements
have followed upon other inventions;
the basic idea has been expanded and
developed. But the original fudge is
still the best of all, though there have
been countless variants Of it.
To a mere man it seems that there
is an unconscious ingratitude on the
part of fudge lovers, not at all con
sistent with the big-hearted apprecia'
ton we expect from the sex. If there
should be concerted action to discover
the girl who invented the delicacy
and to reward her as she deserves, II
would be better than a number OF
the other plans which women are agi
tating.
And as a slight beginning, as an
earnest of the reverence womankind
should feel for fudge and its inventor
we would suggest that the exclama
ton: "Oh, fudge!" so common among
goods, be dropped altogether ol
, robbed Of its sneering irreverence
After that, the pension for the dis
covery and then a statue.

Health Certificate for Hair.

Any woman who changes doctors no
doubt has her own reasons for making
the change. The woman In this case
was threatened with fever. Her first
question was: shall lose my hair?"
Most likely" said the doctor.
The next day he found man with a
pair of shears standing at the bed
side.
Doctor" said the man, Il wish you
would write out a certificate that this
hair is healthy. The lady wants to sell
it.
she says if she's bound to lose it
anyhow in this spell Of sickness she is
in for she might as well get rid of it
now while it will bring a good price.
If she waits till 1t falls out nobody will
buy it. Women with nice hair and not
much money are smart enough nova
days to sell their hair as soon as they
fall i'll. Most dealers take it and no
questions asked, but I'm too conscien-
tious. l want a doctors certificate
every time in a case like this. / hope
you'll be Obliging."
The doctor was not obliging. and
the next day a new doctor was called
in.

HER DEAREST WISH

lighted.

eff I only had a pony" began the
little girl. Then she stopped. That
pony had been the subject Of her
dreams and her waking thought for
weeks. 1t had become so much of an
aIl-absorbing subject that it had been
frowned upon in the family circle, but
suppression only made it more impor-
tant
IF l only had a pony"
The little girl had planned it all
out. She had told father and mother
the plans. Father had looked troub-
led and mother had seemed sorry.
The little girl couldn't understand
this, for to every little girl father al
ways has money, for he has means OF
earning it that little girls lack.
Some day." father had said, and
on this foundation the little girl had
built the dreams and the plans. It
was all arranged. There was a nice
shed to keep the pony in, and she
had gathered grass and put it in
soap box in the stall in case the pony
should come.
She would drive to the office for
father every day of the world, and
when mother wanted something from
the grocery in a hurry all she would
have to do would be to jump on the
pony or get into the little cart that
| comes with all ponies and get it in
no time.
How the other little girls would
envy her as she drove past! Some
of them she would let ride with her,
| but some of them-no, they were
mean and shouldn't even come near
| the pony.
Mother told father all these things
at night, and father would do sums in
mental arithmetic in the dark and
postpone the solution to another time,
for all sums cannot be worked out
right away.
Then mother took hand.
"John," she said, cant we get some
kind of a pony for her? Anything
will do. She don't need a fancy pony
and cart or anything like that-just
! something Sue Coiu uAlfCs 0@ASA
said he would see.
And a few days later he urove home
behind a small and very tame appear
ing animal that might have been
called a horse by courtesy. The
buggy was old and rusty, but coal
of paint would settle that, and il
would look fine.
MY pony!" said the little girl. Thai
was all. She could say nothing more
for at least an hour, not even wheI
she was taken up to the buggy and al
lowed to drive all by herself.
TT cost only $20," father told moth
er when they were together tha
night, "and the buggy is about to fal
to pieces, but she will have just as
much fun out of it."
You're a dear boy" said mother

MONUMENT TO JOHN BROWN
To be Dedicated by the Negroes in
1913.

AS1,1s
(Bv Alexander Hamilton Leo
After many years of thought and
meditation upon the subject, l have
concluded to make an effort toward
the erection of monument to John
Brown By the colOred people. He was
one of the greatest, if not the great
est, abolitionists that ever lived.
We are nearing our half century
Of liberty, and we have as a race en-
joyed and are still enjoying many
great blessings as the result OF the
great efforts of those who through
their kind sympathies for our rights
and the lofty respect for righteous
ness in the sight OF God started the
abolition movement The most con-
spiCuous OF these was John Brown.
We have advanced very rapidly
along some lines, in fact, along most
lines, but | think we have been a lit
tie slow in doing some things. 1t
seems to me to be our duty, and
therefore it should be a pleasure to
us, to honor one who has been so
great an advocate OF our rights and
liberty. Since we expect to celebrate
the iiftieth anniversary OF the free
dom of the negro race III 1913, l be
lieve it to be a suitable time for a
monument to John Brown to be ded-
icated. l would also advocate that
John Browns life be taught in the
homes and public schools OF our race,
that the younger generation of the
present age and all those that are to
follow may learn to know the life
and works of this good man. There
are many good lessons to be learned
from the moral and religious life of
John Brown. l do hope that all
brothers who love liberty will see the
wisdom in this move and lend me
their aid and assistance.
| am most truly yours,
Alexander Hamilton Lee.

DIRECT PRIMARY DELAYED
Than Party Responsible for New York Failure.

New York, July S.-Col. Roosevelt, in a signed article in the Outlook, says the Cobb direct primary bill in New York should have been passed, and he believes Gov. Hughes was sup ported by the wisest and most disin- terested public opinion.
 Fixing the responsibility for the failure of the legislature to comply with the demands of the people, Col Roosevelt says:
 The Republican party was in the majority of both houses of the legisla- ture which refused to carry out the Republican governors recommenda- tions; and, although it was only a ml- nority of the Republican members which brought about this refusal, the party cannot escape a measure of re- sponsibility for the failure; but it IS only just to remember that clear majority of the Republican members of each house supported the bill, whereas three-fourths or more of the Democrats opposed it. This is one of the eases where it is easier to appor- tion individual than party responsibil- ity."
 Continuing, Col. Roosevelt says:
 Those believing that by their ac- tion they have definitely checked the movement for direct popular prima- ries are, in my judgment, mistaken. In it's essence this is a movement to make the government more democrat ic, more responsive to the needs and the wishes of the people as a whole.
 We hold that the right of popular self-goyernment is incomplete unless it includes the right of the voters, not merely to choose between candidates when they have been nominated, but also the right to determine who these candidates shall be-"
