Watermelons Are "Dry."
(Washington Herald.)
. By Injecting an ounce of good whis
ky into a growing watermelon, a
planter claims to have discovered that
it may be given "a rare flavor." The
trouble about it is, they will not stand
for that sort of doctoring down where
the watermelons grow.
Testimony before a Parliamentary
committee.
At the present time a great many
extremely Jmmoral plays I use the
word "immoral" in the correct Eng
lish sense, I had almost said the sense
In which It is not used from one end
of the Bible to the other are now
passed and performed because the
censor I do not know how to put
this point politely was not sufficient
to an expert in moral questions to
know always when a play was im
moral or the reverse.
Mr. H. Law By immoral you mean
"non-customary"? .
Yes you will understand there are
people who may be conscientiously
Immoral for instance, if I may say
so, Lord Gorell's views on the sub
ject of divorce are immoral and shock
ing to the Archbishop of Canterbury,
but they are conscientiously immoral,
and he Is doing a very high public
, service in bringing them forward. As
an immoral writer, I claim to be a
conscientiously immoral writer, and
I lay great stress on this use of the
word because I would remind the
committee that from one end of the
Bible to the other, as I have said, the
words moral and immoral are not
.used.
You think that any outrage on re
- llglon or attack upon religion or ridi
cule of sacred personages should be
.. allowed on the stage ? I think it
should. I think the public would look
after that I think the danger of
crippling thought, of obstructing the
formation of the public mind by sup
pressing such representations, is far
greater than the danger from the rep
resentatlons.

BACK TO HOOP SKIRTS.
There's a rumor that the diabolic
al fashion, the hoopsklrts, are to come
In again, and supplant the present
styles that have been made sport of
more or less, chiefly more, by the
newspaper writers. There have been
a great many fool things worn by
the women, but the follest of all was
the expansive hoopsklrt A good sized
woman encased in hoops of a suitable
else, would sweep everything oft the
sidewalk; two or three women in a
street would stop the wheels of com
merce and Bend the drivers around
block. It would be a difficult matter
Irrigation has done such wonders
In both arid and semi arid sections
of the country that the O. R. & N. al
ways awake to the development of
the country have just Issued a 65
page booklet on the advantages of
well irrigation on small farms. The
company fully realize that day of the
big farm is to be a thiag of the past
and that a few acres scientifically
farmed will produce more tonage and
support more happy homes than large
tracts devoted to single crop cultiva
tion. Irrigation is working such won
ders that commercial circles are lend
ing a helping hand where ever pos
sible, The book's Introductory sen
tence quotes Dean Swift, written in
1726, "Whoever could make two blades
of grass grow where only one grew
before would deserve better of man
kind than the whole race of politicians."
