The .romb Of Cain.

The early traditions concerning the
City of Damascus are curious and inter-
esting, even though untrustworthy and
contradictory. by some of the ancient
writer's it was maintained that the city
stands on or near the site of the Garden
of Eden. and just outside there is u
beautiful meadow of red earth from
which, it is said. God took the material
from which he created Adam! This
field is called Ager Damascenus, and
near it's center there formerly stood q
pillar which was said to ma rk the pre-
else spot where our first parent was
created. few miles ont there is an
eminence called the mountain Of Abel.

VERY COSTLY cAsssMEM.
Pau, Morphy's Famou. Prize Set Which
Cost Twenty -Hvc Hundred Dollars

Paul Morphy's Famous Prize set Which
Cost Twenty -Hvc Hundred Dollars.
A set of chessmen is usually an mex
pcnsivc thing, but 1t may cost as much
as grand piano. OF course, you can
get small set of ordinary lockwood
.hcssmen for a few dollars, a finer set
Of lockwood and ebony for twelve or
fifteen dollars, and set of "Staunton"
,hessmen, of the best African ivory,
nrge size, for scventy-five dollars. And
these are all plain sets. If you indulge
in fancy carving, and have your set
made to order from n special design
and finely mounted, it may cost any
where from one hundred and sixty to
three hundred dollars. For a really
expensive set, however, you will prob
ably choose the precious metals and
there is absolutely no limit to the cost
Probably one of the finest sets ever
made was the set presented to Paul
Morphy in 1859 by friends in this city
and Brooklyn, which is now owned by
New York merchant. The pieces are
of solid gold and silver, carved and
chased in exquisite designs. They are
mounted on bases of red cornelian, the
gold pieces representing civilization,
the silver ones barbarism. The gold
king is n statuette four inches high,
weighing three ounces. He is in royal
robes, bears an imperial globe upon
his head, a sword and shield in his
hand, while n crown and scepter lie at
his feet.
The bishops are in full panoply,
while the knights are represented us
prancing horses with eyes of rubies.
The castle follows the Chinese design,
being an elephant bearing II howdah,
on which is perched an eagle with out
spread wings. Both elephant and bird
have eyes of brilliant rubies. The
piece weighs five ounces, or as much as
eighty gold dollars. The pawns are
statuettes two and one-half inches
high, representing Roman soldiery.
The silver pieces are equally ornate
in design. The king is represented as
Il leader like Alaric, wearing bulls
hide and winged helmet, while his
shield bears the inscription, Liberty"
The other pieces are similar in design
to the gold, except that the pawns are
rude warriors armed with clubs.

PROSPERITY FROM wINDMlLLs.
Western Farmers Utilizing the Prairie
BreeZcs for Irrigation.


Breezes for Irrigation.
It is little odd that the very ele-
ment which has been the chief enemy
of the western farmer should be har-
messed into increasing his property,
but such is the newest phase of prairie
agriculture. Since the settlers wagons
first crossed the plains the never-rest-
ing winds have been the bane of crop
growing. Their ceaseless drain on the
supply of moisture in the new lands
has left the grain without nutriment
and shortened the crops year after
year until many Il settler grew dis
couraged and journeyed "back east to
the wife's folks" But necessity has
developed a remedy. Surveyors have
found that the water supply of west
ern Kansas and Nebraska has it's
source in the rainfall and is collected
in basins formed by impervious strata,
generally at elevations far above that
of the river bottoms. To raise this to
the surface windmills are being
adopted and hundreds of them are
waving their long fans in the prairie
claims, lifting the water to the fields
and gardens of the farms.
The cost of mill and pump is less
than one dollar per acre for claim.
1t has been shown by practical experi-
ments that mill will easily irrigate
from one to three acres of ground and
by conducting the water to reservoirs,
SO that the pumping can go on in wet
as we'll as dry weather, five or six
acres are easily kept moist. A half
dozen windmills are being put OH some
farms and mean abundant moisture
for twenty-five to thirty-five acres of
fertile soil and the raising of the farm s
value from SIS to $50 an acre. On the
thirty acres can be produced with good
water supply as much vegetables,
grain or hay as on half section of un-
irrigated land
Hundreds of skilled farmers have
tried in vain to make agriculture a
success on the upland prairies. Occa-
sionally comes year when everything

MS was the case in certain sections OF
western Kansas last season, wheat

HENRY WILSON'S SUCCESS.
How Vice President Learned to Make
Shoes.

Now arose the problem of earning an
independent livelihood. No opening
being found at home, young Henry
Wilson set ont for Naticlk, Mass, where
the shoe manufacturers were said to
be paying good wages. He chose TO go
by way of Boston in order to visit
Bunker Hill. So one day not long
after, he stood on the spot where War
rem fell, and felt the inspiration which
the scene compelled. Pushing on to
NaticlS, he arrived ut his destination
and found that his entire trip, mostly
on foot, had been accomplished with
the expenditure of one dollar and five
cents.
Here he found employment in the
shop owned by Mr.. William =. Legro.
who agreed to teach him the trade of
shoemaking in consideration of five
months gratuitous service. He set to
work diligently and soon perceived that
he had bargained away his time incau-
tiously; SO he agreed with his employer
for release of the five months Obliga.
ton for the consideration of fifteen
dollars. The result was that WilsoN
mastered the trade and began 10 earn
regular wages at the end of seven
weeks instead of five months In those
lays each workman in shoe factory
made the entire shoe. There was ne
division of labor, as exists to-day.
Young Wilson, anxious to accumulIte
money to enable him to help his father
and mother and to obtain an eduea-
tion. began business ON his own ~
.Ount and worked with wonderful en-
srgy. He often worked sixteen hsurs
