fields in the same neighborhood are
called out by the proper official, no
matter what the time of day or night,
and they descend to the valley there
to assist each other in guiding the
shower. waters in and out amongst the
growing crops, wherever such pre-
cedure is possible.
With their hoes they rapidly con-
struct little earth dams across stream
lets and washes" and thus cause the
flowing waters to be concentrated for
better manipulation. And, as of course,
these operations are considered when
the crops are put in. it is generally
possible to secure considerable irriga-
ton in this manner from passing show
ers that would otherwise be of slight
service. Some of the Indians of the
Southwest, particularly those of a by
gone day, extended this principle of
irrigation to the utilization of living
streams, and in many places are still
to be seen the remnants of irrigating
bitches which often stretched across the
country for miles.
The corn that was grown centuries
ago was often larger and finer than
that of to-day, a fact that is estab-
lished by the specimens found in ruins.
The reader wonders just here, no doubt,
how grains of corn could be preserved
so long even in the dry air of the
Southwest, but when it is explained
that this corn was rendered into pure
and indestructible carbon by the burn
ing of the house or other shelter where
it was stored, the matter becomes
clear enough. Some of the grains of
corn thus made into charcoal by the
cruelty of an enemy. or the misfor-
tune of a moment, are as large and
full and well developed as any
that can be found even in
the Iowa of our day, prov
ing that the old methods of work
ing and irrigation were entirely eff
fective.
The Moki corn comes up bushiy and
not very high, but it produces a gen
erous number of ears, not large, to be
sure, but abundant enough to make
UP for deficiency in size.
Besides the corn they also grow

higher up the road led to the backbone
of the central ridge. Here, for the first
time, we could see the eastern side,
windward.
The Last of the Caribs.
In startling contrast to the hills
around Kingstown, everything was
green and beautiful. This was the old
Carib country, given to the pitfful REM
nant that survived the countless mas
sacres of their fellows, and promptly
taken away as soon as the district was
found to contain the most fertile land
on the island.
Poor Carbs Once proudest and most
valorous of all Indian tribes. the only
natives to resist successfully the Span
iards' crushing rule; now, by slow muir
der, and by still more deadly intermar-
riage with the negro, reduced TO
mere fragment of racel
Some seventy of pure blood hiding
like wild animals in the deep woods of
Dominica, none of pure blood left in
st. Vincent-not many of mixed type,
even-now, doubtless, not any but all:
for they lived on the northern coast,
to-day mas of glowing lava. Truly,
this last disaster would seem to be
your long delayed revenge, had not you
yourselves been the chief sufferers!
Down to the coast past the mineral
spring in Amos Vale. back again to
Richmond, in and out; up and down
ambles the road to Soufriere, growing
more and more imposing at every step,
the cloud cap OH its summit giving it
false loftiness of aspect.
Soon the real climb began, the path
growing steadily worse. None but
West Indian horses could climb West
Indian mountain roads. The inexperi-
enced traveller shudders at the impos-
sible ascents, the straight downward
plunges into loose stones everywhere,
the road most likely clinging to a steep
cliff, while from the saddle you can
look straight down beside you a sheer
thousand feet. But bye and bye conf
dence in your beasts gymnastic powers
sets in and soon you'are urging him to
canter down places where you would
have dismounted and walked an hour
before Sometime behind us, but more
often ahead, trudged the negro guides
bearing bundles of good weight upon
their heads. The feats they performs
are wonderful. They make forty, fifty
miles a day. up and down, with pack
ages sometimes weighing hundred
pounds upon their heads-no horse can
keep up with them their muscles
seeming to be made of iron.
4 Wonderful Journey.
Beautiful beyond words is this path
up Soufriere, a jungle of marvellous
green foliage studded with gorgeous
flowers. passing through the psimeval

might with equal philosophy be applied
to the Moki country, but the writer was
not equal to its application and the
delights of mutton stew la Moki were
never revealed to him. Pehaps this
absurd prejudice against a delectable
dish was intensified by the discovery
that the Moki is not at all particular as
to how the sheep departs from the
living state, and if one dies from any
cause it is usually eaten without con-
junction. plentiful addition of red
pepper will disguise a rather high
flavor. In fact, the Moki, as the
young lady said of her dear brother,
SIS quite an epicure; he'll eat any
thing" F. S. Dellenbaugh.

To say that this splendid work
of science and art is finer and
better than ever, is stating it mild

beyond all previous years. To say
that such results, reaching through
thirty years. are not based upon
sound sense and usefulness, is an
insult to the intelligence of the
millions. Prof. Hicks, through
this great Almanac, and his famous
family and scientific journal,
Word and Works, is doing work
for the whole people not approach

cation A fair test will prove this
to any reasonable person. Added
to the most luminous course in
astronomy for 1903, forecasts OF

never before. for every day in the

ABSOLUTELY PURE PLANTS
OF THE
Famous Hoffman VARIETY.

On the great berry markets of the
country Hoffman has for wears been a
synonym for the highest excellence in the
Strawberry Owing to its earliness it is
always the first to reach the market It's
unrivalled firmness enables it to reach
even the most distant market in all the
glory Of its splendid color. Not only is
the berry then red as ruby, and nearly
as firm, but even the cap retains it's clear
vived green color. adding much to the
attractiveness Of the berry. Hoffman, in
size ranks with the very largest, and on
coed soil remains large to the very last.
The qualities render it par excellence the
great fancy shipping berry. For years
it has commanded top market prices. Its
plant growth is equal to it's fruit No
variety srrpasses. if indeed any equals, it
in healthinesg and freedom from rust and
disease. 1t is, of all varieties, most nearly
drought proof: dry weather at fruiting
time rarely lessons the weld of berries to
any great extent or reduces it's large size
or lessons it's snowy, attractive appear
ance. All desiring plants of Simon pure
Hoffmun should place their orders prom pt-
ly as the demand will be large and the
stock is limited Splendid as Hoffman is
at the South we do not recommend it for
the North.

No Place For consumptives,

No space in this world for in
valid consumpuves, is the heading
to despatch sent out from Den
yer, Col. 1t says. Invalids must
have a certificate from a physician
before they can get on a train in
Colorado, after December LIST.
The certificate must say the bearer
has no contagious disease.
The railroads have had great
deal of trouble with persons atflict-
ed with contagious diseases getting
on trains. The idea is to have all
roads adopt the scheme thereby
protecting passengers who desire
relief from the presence of con-
sumptives.
