MANY TOWNS FOR MEN ONLY
Communities in the Old World and
the New That Are Without the
Feminine Element.
FOURTH DAY.

On the borders between China and
Russia in Asia, almost due south of Lake
Baikal, is a good sized town known as
Maimatehin, which is exclusively in
habited by men. The place has con-
siderable trade and is also a military
post, says the New York Herald. An
old law forbids women to live in this
territory, and they cannot pass the
great wall of Kalkan nor enter Mongolia
at all.
"The Prison of the Ten Thousand" is
the name given by the wandering Arabs
OF the, district across Jordan to the
fortress monastery of Mar Saba, on the
Dead sea. Not many years ago there
were actually 10000 monks living in this
grim retreat, and even to-day there are
more than 1000 left. The monastery is
one Of the Oldest in the world, having
been founded about 1900 years ago by
Eutheymius.
The Empress Eudoxia formed ro-
mantle attachment for this stern old
anchorite, and built near by a tower,
which still exists, from which she could
watch him at distance. True to his
vow, Eutheymius utterly refused to see
or hear the voice of woman. Now the
tower is inhabited by Waterman, who
keeps guard against the incursions OF
prowling Arabs Twice during the last
year the place has been raided by hcrdes
from the desert. The monks who live
there to-day are the most rigorous OF
any in the Greek church. They pass
their lives in everlasting penance
without hope Of pleasure or cheerful
incident. Many of them go mad from
the horror and desolation of their sur
roundings. No woman is permitted tt
come within sight of Mar Saba.
When Montana City burned some
strange facts concerning its inhabitants
came to light The town. which hello
at the time about 5000 inhabitants, wal
occupied only by less than 100 China
men, who lived by working the tailings
of a once valuable mine, Small wonder
that the fire ragged for days till the tow1
was reduced to ashes. 1t is said that fol-
wears no woman had been seen in thai
once prosperous town.
Another far western settlement which
Is composed exclusively of men is Elk

excellent ration fer fa,tening lows.
especially IL it. be fed fresh at each
meal, with no more given than the
turkeys will eat up clean 1t in the
opinion of the writer, however, that
more variety is batter. Accordingly.
he would suggest that boiled potatoes,
mashed and mixed with meal. with
some Skinned milk added, be fed
moderately warm and to substitute for
the lack Of insects, have some kind of
animal food, of which nothing is
cheaper or more desirable than butch
ers' scraps, stirred into it. At least
once a day good sound corn one year
old; :;should also: be given: new corn is
too lOOSening to be used. No more Of
this than of the mash, however, should
be thrown out than the birds can be
induced to eat up clean and that their
flesh may look bright and present
neat appearance, they should have all
the water they want to drink. Tur-
keys that have got their growth and
are in fair condition, may be fattened
for market in few weeks if they are
confined and well*sfed and watered

Estimating the profits

The profits Of a farm are usually
more than the actual cash received for
produce. The farmer takes his living
expenses, as well as the'cost of produc-
ton, before he decides upon the
amount of profit. The merchant takes
only the difference between the buying
and the selling price, less the cost of
he transaction, then lives on the prof.

'ay?" depends largely upon what is

half inclined to laugh in spite of his
own nervousness. "ln the main you

But another and not at all pleasant
