Exceptional difficulties have been
found In carrying out this program for
increasing the army. On account of
the remarkable industrial activity of
the country, recruiting has been, since
the Increase was authorized. at very
low ebb. 1t is therefore probable that
the estimate of 125.OOO as the strength

January 10.

A reversion to colonial days was
the novel feature OF the fashionable
Blackstone dinner-dance Saturday
evening, when dancing BY candle
light proved to be decided success.
Guests approaching were niystihed by
the medieval darkness which en-
wrapped this exclusive hostelry. The
only means OF illumination greeting
the arrivals was tiny taper which
struggled against the sweeping
blasts of old Aeolus and threatened
its fragile life at the opening OF the
door.
On the eighth floor, where the ia
bles were set in the sun room and in
the enclosed roof garden. hundreds
Of white tapers decorating the dinner
tables as we'll as the ball room, lent
festive atmosphere to the occasion,
and cast a most effective glow over
the beautiful gowns Of the women,
which seemed to be OF more varied
hues than usual. Then, too, the sug-
gestion Of the colonial style Of dress,
which seems to be quite the smartest
mode OF the moment, made one feel
that the temporary extinguishment Of
the lights on that particular circuit
was most timely, as Il only added to
the merriment Of the throng and en-
HANGED the effectiveness OF the pic
ture. The devotees Of terpsichore
were not daunted in the least by the
mishap and, as "Alls well that ends
WE'LL" the party was voted huge
success.

The request to put out your
tongue" doesn't mean the same thing
now that it used to in the good old
days when the family doctor took
that means Of ascertaining the state
OF your liver and stomach. When
you are asked to exhibit your tongue
now il is still in the interest of SCI
ence, but with very different pur.
pose in view.
II is to discover the state OF your
soul instead OF your body, for it is
claimed by some pseudo-scientists
that the tongue is an infallible index
OF character, and one no man who
makes study OF his fellow creatures
can afford to neglect
OF course, the art is full of mys-
teries, but the main points Of it are
that big tongue indicates frank
ness; short tongue assimilation;
a wide tongue generosity; narrow
tongue concentration Of ideas; a
tongue that is long and broad good
conversationalist; tongue that is
short and broad an equal fondness for
talking, but a disregard for accu-
racy OF statement; tongue that is
short and narrow is the mark of a
consistent and artistic liar, while a
pointed tongue is the sign manual oil
the gossip and the curious.
With an appropriateness that savors
Of the justice OF comic opera, the
diseoverer OF this new science is a
woman, and she calls it "linguist-
ology."

There is, for instance, the long
tongue that tells too much. 1t biabs
its own secrets and betrays every con

link that bound them. They looked
across today and are sunk in wonder
over their ancient comrade,
This is the age OF riches; let me,
then sing of the wealth of New York.
Not its civic wealth, not its gold
lined vaults, but its treasures yet to be
grasped by human hands. Few know
how immense they are. Large areas
of soil OF New York are OF exceeding
richness. Its little farms have SUI
fered from the competition OF the
spacious plantations of the unex-
hausted west, but the New York farm
ers have retired without defeat. To
be overwhelmed by an avalanche is
not to be defeated.
Much Of the old land of the Iro-
quois is found as productive as ever
when turned to newer uses. If the
Empire state no longer excites won
der and envy by its enormous grain
and corn crops, it leads the union in
growing potatoes-the great dietary
gift of America to the world. In
small fruits, grapes and vegetables. 1t
has few rivals. 1t can raise all the
hay and produce all the milk it needs
Many of its new college-bred farm
ers are prosperous, and they have this
splendid advantage-they are sur
rounded not by monotonous, endless
prairies, or distant frame OF barren
ridges, but by some of the noblest
and most beautiful scenery on the
earth. Many a New York emigrant
returning, in his declining days, to
his native state, feels like one who,
having left his mother in the morning
of life, comes back at last to find
her crowned with Aforementioned
beauty such as he had not seen in all
his wanderings.
New York is first among the states
as a producer of magnetic iron ore.
In the valley of the Hudson there is
treasure of clay which has built up
there the greatest brick-making
region in the whole world. New
York's fne-grained and beautifully
colored sandstones are almost unri-
vailed. 1t produces many magnificent
marbles. The first natural cement
rock known in the United States was
found near Chittenango, and the VI.
ster county deposits of this rock are
perhaps the most important in the
country. Everybody knows the story
of Syracuse and its salt. But my
