Of humanity, puny creature whom one
blow from a mans huge fist could ami

that retributiOn cannot follow. What
can be done with her? She is afraid
of nothing, and viii be controlled by no
one. Sheltered behind her weakness as
behind a triple sheet of brass, the an
griest dare not touch her, while she pro-
vOkes him to a combat In which his
hands are tied. She gets her own way
in everything and everywhere. At home
and abroad she is equally dominant and
irrepressible, equally freefrOm obedience
and from fear. Who breaks all the pub
lie orders in sights and shows, and in
spite Of king or kaiser goes where it is
expressly forbidden that she shall go2
Not the large-boned, muscular woman,
whatever her temperament, unless, in
deed, of that exceptionally naughty type
in distinctly inferior surroundings, and
then she can queen it royalty enough,
and set everything at most lOrdly de-
fauce.

ALkULi Soil.

Many Eastern people are continually
speaking of the alkali soil Of Dakota and tho Far
West. They seem to consider that all of this
country is full of alkali and that ailkali soil Is
worthless. Both tho propositions are wrong;
for, there is comparatively little alkali here,
the crops are in way affected by it. Upon
this subject We hnd In an exchange the follow
ing: "Alkali Is name used to designate any soil
containing such unusual quantities Of salts as to
allow them to become visible the surface dur
ing the dry soason As white crust. 1t IL found
principally on low or level land. Will 1t may
do but little harm In wet Seasons IL results in
accumulation at the surface whenever the rain
ceases, and causes the corrosion of the root
crown and the stunting and final death of tho
plant. When stronger, as is sometimes the case,
the seed is killed during termination. An effectual
and cheap neutralizer of this akai 10 available in
the form of gypsum, which transforms the caus-
tic carbonate into innocent sulphates. Whenever
the amount Of alkali present IL not excessive the
use of gypsum relieves all diff oultiss arising
from the presence of tho former. And, further,
a couple of years plowing and cultivation rem
ders slkai spots rs capable Of growing good
crops as any other, as the salts soak into the
ground with the rain and melting snow, and are
dispersed. Analysis shows that in many cases
large amounts Of important mineral plsnt.food,
such a. potash. phosphates and nitrates, accom-
pany the injurious substances; 20 that, when the
latter are neutralzed, the previously useless soil
may be expected to possess extraordinary and
lasting fertility A great many Eastern farmers
