The Adamless Eden.

Truly. women are becoming free and in
dependent Not long ago I noticed the
fact that women were becoming more
congenial to each other. citing as an ex-
ample the difference between the hour
after dinner. when the men remain be-
hind over their wines and cigars. to-day,
ade ago.
But I had not then heard of the latest
step toward independence of poor man,
which has become such q fad among the
women 6f to-day The very newest fad
is a dinner to which not one man is in
vited-a kind of Adamless Eden sort of a
feast.
VIII 1t last? Are the women strong
enough to do away entirely with mans
society and find unalloyed pleasure In
their own? This is a conundrum which
remains to be solved. In the meantime,
to be at the top notch of fads in swell
dom at least one Adamless dinner must
be given during the season.

his age at more than 49,
In this community, where he has done
most of his church work, he has been rec

thirty years. His colonization schemes

Demon OF the Forest.

Editor National Tribune: Through cor
respondence with Col. Theodore r. Allen
of Cincinnati. l have learned that ID. S.
Brown is prospering, happy and COM
Portable, amid the sunshine and flowers
of Los Angeles, Cal. During the restless
dissatisfaction that clung for few years
to active young men who had seen serv-
ice at the front, Smith Brown spent his
Summers near here in the country.
Browns favorite haunts were along the
banks OF densely-wooded Crooked Creek,
wandering alone, meditating, and spout
ing Shakspere. One afternoon gust OF
wind lifted his straw hat, dropped it In
mid current, and away it went. lie took
| a blood-red b?ndana handkerchief from
his neck, placed it turban fashion around
| his head, and moved on, turning home
ward at lowtide sun. Emerging in glade
filled with sOmbeE gloom OF Summer shade
| Brown in strong tTagedian tones, began
| his fOTclble rendition oi Hamlets soiiio-
guy.
In a thicket near his path woman
was picking the early-ripening black
berries of the season. Her first sight of
that red-turbaned head, long arms and
measured tread, as he shouted the ques-
ton, "Io be or not to be" was paralyZer.
But she evidently dec ided to remain quiet
and let the aFpaTiiicn pass, hoping it
..otIld miss her. Smith reached the eli
max of his selection opposite where she
stood, and without seeing her, turned
that red head and mellow eyes upon her,
beseecaingly extended his long arms to-
ward her. and as neatly as Hamlet him
self could have done it, said: Soft, you
there, the fair Cphelia."
The woman walked Brown up with an
unearthly yell, threw away her bucket,
and ran a mile to the nearest house, yell
ing murder at every jump. Brown grasp
ed the situation readily. He got that red
bandana into his pocket, cut across lots,
and reached home in time to hear OF this
woman's husband rallying the neighbor-
hood who, with shoiguns and pitchforks,
raided the woods all night, hunting for
the wild man.
This story will spoil a neighborhood
tradition Of q wild man, seven foot tall
with a bIoodred head, and eyes as big
as sauceTs. But if any OF the 7th Ohio

TIME FOR THE SOIL MULCH.

Usually as soon as a rain Is over the
| atmosphere Is free of moisture, and
evaporation from the soil sets in. The
water that has Just soaked in comes up
| through the little pores between the soil
grains and passes off from the surface O:
| the soil into the air. The gardeners aim
with the mulch is to save this moisture
and send it through his plants. If the
| little pipes or tubes formed by the pores
| of the soil are broken, the flow through
them is checked and evaporation from the
ground is much lessened. 1t is only
necessary then in order TO save the moist
| ure for the plants to break up the sur
| face OF the soil with rake or other imple-
ment.
1t is serious mistake to suppose that
| so long as tho surface remains moist the
soil below is well supplied with water.
| A damp surface may mean only that
| moisture is rapidly evaporating into the
air. AS often as the surface becomes
solid it should be stirred with rake or
hoe. As rain or even a shower COM
pacts the soil at the surface. the common
notion that it renders raking or shallow
blowing less necessary is precisely con-
trary to the fact. 1t is then especially
that the surface should be broken. The
same is true after irrigation. The raking
or plowing should be done as soon as the
soil will not cake when squeezed in the
hand.

The chief purposes of cultivation are to
keep down the weeds and to maintain in
the soil a supply of air and moisture
favorable to plant growth.
The moisture in the soil about a vigor-
Gus plant is rapidly carried away by
evaporation from the leaves. AS long as
the ground contains an ordinary water
supply for several feet below the surface
Il steady flow of moisture goes upward
through the minute spaces between the
soil grains. The upper layers of soil are
kept from becoming dry by this flow.
But when tho rainfall is scant the moist
ure in the lower soil also becomes ex-
hausted and the plant curls up and
dwindles. A drouth prevails. The gar
dencr must provide against the occur
renee OF this condition. 1t is not enough
to remedy it; he must prevent it. One Of
the most efficient means is a mulch,
which is most conveniently made OF the
surface soil.
