Whether Lilith was one Of the female
creation of Chapter 1, or a demon, or
something between the two, she was
considered matrimonically, a complete
failure, says The Year Round She was
expelled after living with Adm, 130
years, and subsequently became the
wife of Satan, by whom she was the
mother of the Jinns, so familiar in Per
sian fairy lore. The emphatic remark
of Adam when he first saw Eeve, "This
is now bone of my bones and flesh Of
my flesh, 50 makes, it is suggested, a com
parison between Eve and the beautiful
but fiendlike Lilith, not complimentary
to the latter, while the reference on
the birth of Seth to him as Adams son
''in his own likeness, after his image,
conveys a painful hint Of the uncanny
offspring born to Adam and Lilith.
Perhaps in revenge for this Lilith-the
same occurs translated "night mon
stern in Isaiah xXXiv-became the
sworn foe of little children, whom she
was wont to strangle with one of her
glorious golden hairs, unless the watch
fulness of their mothers drove her
away. 1t has, indeed, been grayely sug-
gested by an etymolOgist Of great dar-
ing that our word lullaby is simply a
corruption of "Lilla abi, " Lilith, aYaunt
which mothers and nurses would Groom
over the cradles or write on the door
post.
The superstition of the ill-luck Of
looking backward, or returning, is a
very ancient one, originating doubtless
from Lots wife, who Hooked back from
behind him, when he was led by an
angel outside the doomed City Of the
Plain. In Roberts sOriental ulustra-
tions" it is stated to be considered ex-
eeedingly unfortunate in HindOstan for
men or women to look back when they
leave their house. Accordingly, if a
man goes out and leaves something be-
hind him which his wife knows he viii
want, she does not call him 10 turn and
look back, but takes OF sends It after
him; and if some great emergency Oh
liges him to look back, he VIII not then
proceed on the business he vas about
to transact.
The red and white pole which BARRIERS
use to advertise their business is said
to be but a memorial Of the days when
it had an actual use. 1t dates from
the time when the barber was also
something Of q surgeon, inasmueh as

tony. Ia relieving his patients Of su-

that they intend to keep that way, even
If it requires a protractcd political strug-
gle against the cohorts of Mammon who
are absorbing all the increased wealth of
the nation The Herald Is one o. that
class of papers that say to the W workels of
the country: "Why seek to improve your
condition Don't you know you are
better off than the Mexicans p Some
American farmers have the temerity to
ask for cake, even if rn-dodgers are
more plentiful here than elsewhere. And
in the end they will get 1t, too. We
believe it was Bonaparte who said that
Europe would one day be call Republi-
can or all Cossack." And the workers of
this country must either advance or
retrograde-must either enjoy more
comforts and more leisure as invention
and scientific discovery make progress,
or must sink to the level of their
European brethren and be mere machines
in the hands of centralized capital.

Mulch IN the Garden.

The present season has been one of
unprecedented drouth in this section,
and there was no rain of any account
until late in July. 10 add to this state
of affairs, the first part of the season was
cold and frosty, SO, that work in the
garden has not been attended with very
flattering SUCCESS. Still we believe In the
garden, and ! am s,song in the belief
that there is more than "taste and flavor
in garden sass. and that the vegetables of
the garden do econonnize the grocery and
butchers bill, and that, rightly managed,
the few days work in the garden Is one
of profitable employment. Seeing that
the season promised to be droughty, If not
one Of actual severity, thought would
put the plan of mulching to an expert
mental test, and, after the plantings that
followed the last big frost, and the plants
had made their appearance, the ground
was we'll mulched with broken up and
somewhat rotten straw. The cabbage
tomatoes, squashes, etc., were mulched :
of course leaving parts of the garden to
be hoed as of old, so that comparisons
could be made. AS the plants grew
larger, the straw was worked up in under
them, and the result is that, despite the
drought and the blazing and scorchiug
sun, we never had more lusty, vigorous
growing plants, and under the straw
there has been moist, cool ground all the
time. There have been no weeds to
bother or steal away the moisture, and
in every way they have excelled IN
growth the unmulched portions that
were hoed and raked over twice and
often three times week. After the peas
were brushed, straw was put literally be-
tween the rows with manifest benefit
For several years we havekept a heavy
mulch of straw in the small.fruit rows,
adding to it as the case demands, but
doing no cultivation, and 1t has been
great success, practically doing away
with the work Of cultivation we speak
from the standpoint of farm, not COM
mercial garden-and giving at the same
time clean rows and most vigorous canes
and brushes; and, this year excepted, the
frost killing all our berries and small
fruits, we have in the past, had fruits in
abundance and of large size and excel.
lent flavor. So we'll pleased are we with
mulchlng the vegetables, etc, this year.
that If we are here next season we shall
try the mulching plan vet more ex.
tenslvely in the garden and among the
small fruits.-AurOra.

fact that every railroad IN the state has

more inquiries made about this fair than
in any other year. The races are going

people contend that, as the great fall in

decentralization, it would again reach n
parity with gold If it were placed on the
same basis with the yellow metal as to
free coinage, and that gold and silver
would exchange places as to value if
gold were demonetized and the minis

rhe BrIxht side 81 Farm LIfe,

That the average farmers life, says
Denver Field and Farm, is not exactly
a bed of roses few will deny. But that it
has Its bright side is not to be disputed.
Among the advantages held by the
farmer over any other laboring class may
be mentioned his independence. With
his comfortable dwelling, wcll.filled
barns and cellar, the modern farmer is
absolutely the most independent of
human beings. 1t is impossible to 6nd
another business or profession which is
less dependent upon the patronage or
favor of others. He knows that, ii he
raises more Of any kind of produce than
he requires for his own use, he will be
able to dispose Of it. because his pro.
ducts are the necessities of life. In place
Of being dependent Upon others. he has
the satisfaction of knowing that the
whole world Is dependent upon him.
This independence ls shown in many
other forms. He is not compelled, as
many others are, to rise at certain hour
and labor certain number of hours each
day, under the directions of others, until
he becomes simply piece of machinery,
without thought or feeling Of his own.
But, instead, his work is performed as lie
thinks best and at whatever time he may
consider most suitable. Neither is he
worried by the fear of losing his sltua.
ton, as many one who is employed by
others is bound TO be at one time or
another. His position is secure. and he
knows that with fair season his
recompense Is assured. Look at the
bright side of farm life from another
standpoint: No one ever passed fine
farm In midsummer and did not envy its
owner the picturesque surroundings,
the well.kept fields and pastures, the fine
horses and sleek cattle, the general air OF
peace and prosperity which hover over
a well.appointed farm. At this season,
however, inspired poets have CAUSED
many men in other walks of life to be.
come farmers. and many of the wrecks
along the country roadside were caused
by men who would better have remained
in other walks of life.
