until the prize was out of reach, then
galloped on after it.. The wagons con
tanned ammunition and some stOWaway
freight in the shape of stragglers who
had crawlcd into them to ride. Davis
orders to his men were to burn every
wagon that broke down and lose no time
over it. Several broke down and were
fired, with ~frightful consequences, I'm
til the stoWaways took alarm. One OF
the first victims was Il New York cav
alryman. His determination TO get out
Of the wilderness that night led to ex-
periences that would bring "a blush of
jealousy to the cheek Of Baron Mum
chausen. They are vOuched for by his
captain. While climbing up Maryland
heights in the darkness Private Louck
of Company | lost his horse by a mis-
step, both steed and rider rolling down
an embankment. Louck was badly
bruised, and his comrades told him to
20 to a farmhouse and surrender to the
first chance. About all hour later the
galloping riders ~foundered through a
mudhole, where many of the horses
tripped or fell from exhaustion.
Among those who emerged, covered
with mud, was Louck. He had found a
led horse in the column and rode Oh aft
er his company. In crossing a creek
there was another catastrophe, and sew
eral horses took n bath with their riders
on their backs. Louck calne out OF the
tangle washed clean, but again minus
his horse. The first wagon that was
fired contained shells, and speedily Il
mass of debris was hurled out at the
rear end. Louck was picked up shorn OF
his hair, whiskers and eyebrows, and
his comrades took him to a house and
left him, as they supposed, on the verge
Of death. When the column arrived at
Greencastle, 30 miles from EarperY
Ferry, Louck crawled into the bivouac.
"Captain,'' said he, Il was killed once
tonight by being thrown over a noun

killed, but here I am"
Davis was promoted to lead a brigade

ONION CULTIVATION.
Crop That Requires Rich and Carefully
Prepared Soil

A Crop That Requires Rich and Carefully
Prepared Soil
Itrequires rich land to grow good
onions, and it must be fertility that
has been gradually impaired to the
soil You cannot take ordinary farm
land and in a single season fit it for
growing onions If stable manure is
used, it makes the soil too light while
it is accomplishing The best onions
are grown on mucky soil that has
several seasons been cultivated to
shallow depth, and that is then kept
in fertility with some kind of con-
centrated manure. There needs to be
hard stratum of soil three or four
inches below the surface. This makes
the onion roots spread out near the
surface, producing onions of fat
shape. When the soil is mellowed too
deeply large proportion of the
crop will grow to solutions.
The seed from solutions will pro-
duce solutions in return. AS there is
constant tendency to deterioration it
is highly important that only the best
seed be used. The skillful seed
grower understands this difference,
and his seed from onions that have for
many crops been selected from those
having the best form is we'll worth the
extra price that is asked for it. The
best profits in growing onions are now
made by starting the growth the pre-
vious season, planting very thickly
and saving the sets while they are
small. These are transplanted in
spring, and produce an earlier crop
than can be had from seed. They also
are much less trouble to keep free from
weeds. as the rows of young onions
can be seen within few days after
planting. and they grow very rapidly.

THE LOCATION OF EDEN.
It Is Matter OF Dispute Among Scholars
of Different Nations.

IL Is a Matter OF Dispute Among Scholars
OF Different Nations.
The location of the earthly paradise,
or Garden of Eden, is still matter of
dispute among orientalists and scrip
tural scholars of highest reputation.
Some have endeavored to locate it by
the fruits and mineral productions
named in the biblical descriptions as
they appear in the second chapter of
Genesis; others by the rivers mentioned
in verses eleven to fourteen of the
above mentioned chapter. The weight
of investigation and tradition incline
to an agreement that the Tigris and
the Euphrates of modern geography
are the third and fourth rivers men,
toned in the biblical description of the
garden. Those who agree so far differ
widely as to what rivers should now be
regarded as the ancient Pison and
Gihon. The Buddhistic scholars, al
though they reject our Bible in the
greater part, incline TO the opinion that
the Pison is the sacred Ganges, and
that the Gihon is none other than the
Nile. As to the last it is altogether
probable that they are correct on that
point because the biblical account
plainly says that Gihon ''compasseth
the whole land of Ethiopia" Some in
vestigations affirm that Eden was
spot of comparatively small area To-
Gated on the table lands of what is now
Armenia, from which rise the Tigris
and the Euphrates. A few scholars of
distinction argue that the Adamic
Paradise was located in Africa, in the
vicinity of the Mountains of the Moon.
Still another school of orientalists To-
cate the celebrated garden in the vi
entity of the ancient city of Babylon.
You will notice, however, that none
of these theorists have been able to get
the four rivers mentioned in the biblical
account properly located; neither have
they found n place where one great
river separates into four heads. This
being the case it is hardly necessary to
add that the exact location of Eden is
n mystery that will probably never be
solved.-St Louis Republic.

Me1ico's Mineral Wealth.

The number of mines now being
worked in Mexico, according to recent
data, is at least 5000, with others
worked only at intervals, and others
still whose operations are hardly
worthy of mention. If to these are
added the large number of abandoned
claims, many of which, If reopened,
would yield important returns-even
greater in some cases than those now
in course of development-the total
would reach, according to our chief
informant, incredible figures" while
new mines are being discovered day by
day. The total amount invested in the
silver mines of Mexico is roughly esti-
mated at 10000, 900, of which not
more than one-eighth is American cap
ital, while only an amount equal to
one-third Of the latter, or &c, 500, 900, is
British capital. The annual yield Of
Mexican silver and gold collectively is
set down at about fs, 5000 The out
put of copper figures at about $500, 900,
and of coal ut 100000. II we include
iron, sulphur, clay, mercury, salt
stone, and metalloids, the estimated
annual total of mining products would
amount to not less than Ella, 400, 900. =

1t is impossible for us to go far, or to

Just like any military flying column.
But then 1T must be assured of nom

ern naval flying column, passing over
sea which 1t does not command, has
difficulties before it which it's
ancestors never had. AS flo

bled in size for any given
strength, If it is to be made independ-

fails, but then il marches by reason of
its force. as Wellington marched in
1913, giving up the Lisbon base, or as
Sherman marched, giving up the Mis-
sissippi base, in 1864.
If a naval flying column can march,
not by force, but by evasion, without
train, and so keep its fighting power
coterminous with its size, it must
either have its objective at very short
distance, or, il its objective is at
great distance, it must have friendly
port open near the objective, al
ready stored with coal and muni-
lions. Wellington could not pos
sibly have marched to fight the
battle of Vittoria had he not been
relying on supplies coming to him from
over sea to Santander and other north
ern Spanish ports. Sherman could not
possibly have marched across the con-
federate states if he had not known
that his friends were in possession of
Port Royal and other places on the
sea coast where he could receive sup
plies.
1t is not possible for flying column,
either by land or sea, to march to
