VICTIMS OF THE wANDERLUsT

With the first blush of the beau
tiful summer the tramp fraternity
awakens in whatever lairs it may
have found fer the winter and be-
gins to plan its annual campaign.
The hoboes of today are not the
pedimentarians upon whom poetry
ard fiction have delighted to fling
the glamor of romance. If such
people ever existed, as dear old
Nyron Re- d loved to picture them,
III race has died out and its sue
cessors represent the most disagree
able variety of vagrancy. What is t.
be dole with the man who de-
clares that the world owes him
living. but steadily refuses to do
anything towards earning it?
This is the problem set squarely
before the industrious people upon
whose labor the tramp is parasite
and who go in fear of their lives
and property during the summer
reign. The absence of method in

CONSERVATION OF WATER
IN ROW IRRIGATION.

The difficulty that every farmer
experiences in row irrigation is to
SO control his supply that the water
flows down each row at the same
rate and with sufficient velocity so
tnat when the water reaches the
lower end of the row the upper end
has had time to be suffi >iently moist
roots of the plants. In order to ac-
complish this, every field should
have a ditch rurning along its high
est part, properly laid out. This
will be best accomplished by making
openings through the side of this
ditch through which the water runs
into the rows. level; that is to say.
fix them so that when a dam is
put in, which brings the water over
the bank and forces it through the
openings the water will run through
each opening with the same velocity
and therefore have the same head.
1t will, therefore, be a paying prop
sition to make these openings per
manent.
A box made of lumber or cncrete
with openings in the. side, each sec
ton set level. with drop at the
end of each section, so that by plac
ing a dam at the head of section,
the same quantity of water is dis
charged through each opening and
finds its way to each row and is
sent down each with the same We
locity and the same quantity OF
water supplied to each row. This
quantity can be regulated by in
creasing or decreasing the head
at each opening, and with this ar
rangement it will be found that la
Dor, time and water will be saved.
Another thing, after an irrigation
by means of the row method, many
farmers have found it profitable and
advisable to harrow across the rows.
This fills the bitches and the ground
that is saturated with loose earth
which forms a dust mulch and
thereby prevents excessive evapora-
ton from the rows, while if this is
not done the bottom and sides of
the bitches take on a crust, the par
ticles become packed together and
excessive evaporation takes place.
For the next irrigation it will be
necessary to again run the cLluvat-
or through the rows in order to form
the bitches for another application
of water, and by the time this sec
ond irrigation occurs the plants vii
be so far advanced that it will be
impossible to harrow second time,
but the first narrowing can be done
with very little damage to the crop,
even though some of the plants are
destroyed.

sirable for cantaloups is one largely

with the way soil can be handled.
In general, there must be moisture

it will dry hard and lumpy. Really
sandy soil can be handled wet with

row will pulverize it without clogint
as id does in mud, and yet not so
dry as to leave the field full of clods.
We have ideal conditions this spring
to meet all these requirements.
Before blowing, the soil should
be well disked for two reasons:
first, to thoroughly mix the soil with
any fertilizer previously applied. and
second, to pulverize the soil on the
surface, so that after the work OF

THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.
An Incident That Marked His Spirit
and independence.

In his "Glimpses of the Confederate
1rmy" in the American Review of Re
views Randolph H. McKim writes:
1t seems TO me as look back that
one of the things which stood out
strongly in the Confederate army was
the independence and the initiative of
the individual soldier. 1t would have
been better army in the field if it had
been welded together by a stricter dis
cipline, but this defect was largely
atoned for by the strong individuality
of the units in the column. 1t was not
easy to demoralize body composed of
men who thought and acted in spirit
of independence in battle.
LAS an illustration of the spirit of
the private soldier | recall an incident
to this effect. Major General Gordon
had organized a strong column to make

When Ice Covered Europe.

HUMAN SKULL PUZZLE.
A Cavity That May Have Been the
Seat of q Sixth Sense.


Despite the progress of. physiology
the study of the human body is full
of mystery. Some of its we'll known
organs have never revealed either
their uses or the reason of their crea-
ton. The part played by the spleen
in human life was discovered but re-
Gently. 1t is now regarded as one OF
the principal agents in the circulation
of the blood. But there are in the
marvellous human organism mys-
FERROUS parts which il is possible that
no savant. however profound his
learning, may ever understand. For
instance. IN the skull. behind the car
tilage of the nose. there is n little
cavity of unknown origin. Physiolo-
gists believe that at one time-several
thousand generations ago-it contained
a gland consisting of two lobes joined
by their common base.
This cavity-the delta turcica-is, in
the opinion of certain savants. the
vestige Of a sixth sense which was OF
great use to the antediluvian ances-
tors of man. 1t is believed that this
little gland enabled them to see in the

sense of situation or locality, the pow

efpe of the reason for the existence

Odiva Coming.

OofVa coming.
Fishes have nothing on Odiva, the
Samoan Diving Queen who will appear
at the Murray theater next week. In
fact there are several highly colored
gold fish in the tank in which this
modern mermaid swims and dives and
they seem to envy her sport
+ In her swimming and other parts of
her act, Odiva, rightly called the Wa
ter Nymph,' is the perfection OF
grace. She dives from different
heights in the wings into the glass
tank, which rests on the stage in full
view of the audience, as beautifully
as any gull glides to the water.
Odiva's act is wonderfully interest
ing. 1t is a whole show in itself and
everything is so nicely done that one
wonders how it is that everybody in
the world can't swim. Her feats I'M
der water, all of which may be plain
ly seen by the audience, are nothing
short of marvellous, with the result
that Odiva's performance is, and for
three years has been, one of the big
gest headliners on the Keith circuit
Special attention is called to the
fact that during "Odiva Week" tickets
sold for the first show at night will be
good for that performance only The
theater will be emptied after the first
show in order to accommodate the
patrons unable to secure admission to
the first show This is necessary ow-
ing to the tremendous demand for
seats and the limited seating capacity
of the Murray.

bile from your liver and carry out of
the system all the decomposed waste
