FALSE IDEAS OF PERFECTION
Absurd Development of Muscle Has
Little Part in Production of
Perfect Athlete.

A recent portrait OF lumpy ath.
lete, who invites others, and not with
out success, to try his system Of
physical development, shows that the
false idea of physical perfection
which obtained for so many years, and
which demanded huge and knobby
muscles Of its disciples, has not yet
quite died out This type of manly
perfection, once useful perhaps to
hang armor upon, was thought to pos
sess the sanction of the golden age
of artistry when the lubberly Farnese
Hercules came to light, to be hailed
as a supreme product Of the Greeks.
decadent Greek taste, fit companion
of the absurd and sensational Lao
coon. 1t is naught but a type OF the
strong man Of vaudeville with his
clumsy masses of beef and his brain
OF a spoiled child, fit only to push his
awkward dumb bells into the air, an
enviable sum of achievement truly
after lifetime of work by civilized
human being. No less than strength.

ideal athletes, likewise a face Of re-

and literature, and the ability to plan
victories either Of peace or war. Look
upon the Apollo Belvidere, which en-
bodies the true dreams Of health and
mental and physical efficiency, with
its face Of exquisite beauty above a
form whose lines are tranquil poetry,
yet shadow forth their readiness to
start into sinewy vigor when the call
for action comes. Even the Indian,
the perfect savage, never resembled
the Farnese monstrosity, the emu
lators of which find their place in
modern life 30 much better filled by

Patented Articles Must Be Marked.

We are all accustomed to see pat
ented article marked Patented" with
the date of the patent. 1t is doubtful
however, whether one in hundred.
or In five hundred, who notices the
mark realizes its Importance to the
patentee. The statute on the subject
makes It the duty Of all patentees or
those holding under or making the
patented article for them to apply the
mark Patented" together with the
day and year the patent was granted.
and the same statute provides as
penalty for not marking that in any
suit for infringement by the party
falling to so mark no damages shall
be recovered by the plaintiff. except
on proof that the defendant was duly
notified of the infringement, and con-
tinued, after such notice, to make, use

aousseau's Etiquette of Love.

Before Rousseau love was highly
refined form of social intercourse,
species of gallantry conducted with
self-restraint, and all the formalities Of
special etiquette; any extravagancy,
whether in feeling, in speech. or IN
action, was banished. But when Saint
Preux, oppressed by his high-strung
passions, came to the rock at Meilliere
to pour forth in solitude the flood OF
his sentimental tears, all the witty re-
fnements Of eighteenth century gall
lantry, for good or for evil, were final
" swept away; extravagancy was free
to lay down the law in love. 1t was

Mount Pelee ERUPTION,

II will never be known how many
human lives were lost in the Pelee
eruption. 1t is generally. understood
that between 10000 and $4,000 people

of some 5000 feet, great masses OF
which were thrown suddenly upon the
surrounding people In semi-fluid con-
dition Escape was impossible, and
so great was the force of the eruption
that ships lying in the contiguous
waters were almost swamped by the
conclusion Of the air waves. OF the

Ministerial Economy.

Considering his meagre salary, 1t
was a mystery to economical parish
toner's how the minister could afford
to contribute so literally to the
church's social affairs, but another
financial expert finally explained that
1t was a good investment.
"The money he contributes makes

Cantlnes Maternelles.

There are Ave dining-rooms IN
Paris where from fifty to eighty nurs-
ing mothers daily receive free meals.
Cantines Maternelles these restau-
rants were called when they we're
started eight years ago by Nine,
Henry Coullet of Paris. At first the
only passport needed was the posses
sion of a baby, but owing to the de-
velopment of a confusing habit of Dor
rowing babies so as to procure meal,
the rule was altered, and the pro
vision Of free meals is now dependent
upon regular attendance at an adjoin-
ing baby clinic.

APPLE Crop 100000 Barrels.

Ao u 4O1A \ IIkC
Reports received during the week from
all The leading fruit growing sections OF
the country by the Fruit Trade Journal
indicate that the apple crop OF the United
States will this year aggregate about
100000 barrels. This estimate is based
on the belief that all the fruit will attain
normal size and that no serious damage
will occur from storms or other causes
before harvest time.
Prospects OF an even larger yield were
encouraging until recently, when heavy
shedding occurred In most Of the princi-
pal sections. The New England states
and the Hudson valley are the only inn
portant regions that show a lighter crop
imam last year. The outlook in western
New York state points to an exceptionally
heavy yield Of Baldwins, but a lighter
crop OF greetings than last year.. The
situation in the northwest is very en-
couraging at The present moment.

TREES ACROSS STATE.
North oakot.ns Plan OF Breaking
Force Of Canadian Winter Winds.

From the Bismarck Tribune.
commencing at the South Dakota line,s
sad DIR. j. II. Worst. president Of the
North Dakota Agricultural college. IT
would plant a row of willow trees clear
across the state Of North Dakota from the
eastern border line to the western. One
mile north I would plant another row Of
trees that would extend across the entire
state. Another mile north / would plant
another row OF trees. and 30 on to the
northern boundary, q row of trees every
mile. stretching from the Minnesota line
10 Montana. l am now planning. upon
having a bill introduced in the next leg
islature making 1t compulsory that land
owners plant these trees. The good that
would accrue would be incalculable, ana
the wealth of the state would be increased
many fold.
Simply as a wind break these trees
would do an immense amount of good.
We have few IL any straight east or west
winds In North Dakota. Most OF the winds
are from the north or south, the north
west or southeast. When the wind would
sweep along either from South Dakota ON
the south or across the Canadian prairies
on the north and would strike the first
row OF trees 1t would have to hurdle IL
and expend a great part Of its force. Be-
fore any wind. no matter what its veloc-
ity. would have hurdled six or eight Of
these rows OF trees 1t would be reduced to
a mere summer breeze.
The leaves OF the trees would keep
throwing oft moisture and thus make the
air more humid. h greater the humid
tty OF the air the less evaporation Of
moisture from the ground, and thus the
soil would be in a better condition. Tho
leaves would have a cooling effect upon
the atmosphere as we'll, by reason Of their
dissemination of moisture.
