TO RESTORE GARDEN OF EDEN
Sentimental Feature Connected With
Great irrigation Project In
Asiatic Turkey.

The restoration of the Garden of
Eden is sentimental feature of the
great irrigation project by which Sir
William Willcocks hopes to bring back
the early fertility to a great region
In Asiatic Turkey The country bor-
dering the lower Euphrates and Tigris
rivers was long a center of prosper
lty and wealth. 1t was made to -four
lsh by extensive irrigation works, the
ruins of which still exist, but the land
Is now barren by drought, though
much oflit is swept by occasional
foods. The engineers propose to re-
construct the ancient works on an
enlarged and improved plan. They
have found depression in the des-
ert, into which the overflow from the
Euphrates can be led, and they ex-
pect to be able to regulate the Tigris,
though this is a more difficult feat
that the ancients never fully accom-
plished. The probable great produc-
tiveness of the delta of the two rivers
under suitable irrigation is indicated
by analyses showing the soil to be
richer than that of Egypt or the SUI
dan. 1t Is believed that the Garden of
Eden will be found just north Of Or,
at the ancient junction of the Tigris
and Euphrates. Or is supposed to
have been maritime town, but its
remains are now six miles west of the
Euphrates and Us miles from the sea.

PATHoS IN PARIS PAWNsH0P
French Marqulse Bequeathes $4,000
to Be Used to Redeem Pledges
Of the Poor.

The Marquise de Guerry has be-
uueathed nearly $4,000 &c the city
Of Paris for the redemption Of small
objects pledged In the state pawn
shops by the poor.
The legacy has its origin in a visit
paid one day by the marquise to the
chief depot of the Mont de Piete, as
the state pawnbroking establishment
Is called In France, where her atten-
ton was attracted by a silver chris
tening set, consisting Of knife, fork
and spoon, such as is given to child
on its baptism or first communion.
The set was furnished with age ana
the ticket showed it had been In
pawn for half century.
The marquise was told that regu-
larly for many years since 1860, when
the little christening gift was pawned,
either the father or the mother of the
recipient had come and paid the tri-
fling interest on the pledge, doubtless
relic Of dead child. Each year the
man or his wife was little older, a
little shabbier, a little sadder, but the
interest was punctually paid.
Then the man ceased his annual
visits and only the woman came, I'M
til she, too, failed to appear. Neither
was ever seen again, and the little
christening gift remained in its wrap
ping getting blacker and dustier until
1t was seen by the Marquise de
Guerry.

Crawl on All Fours to Get Tan.

A mans organs and those of his
bones which are not subjected to
pressure grow continuously until he
is forty years old; that is to say, the
heart should become stronger. the ca
pacity of the lungs increase, and the
brain should develop steadily until the
fourth decade of life. Also one should
wear larger hat at the age of forty
than at thirty. A man ceases to grow
tall, however, at the beginning of the
third decade, because after that time
the downward pressure exerted by the
weight of the body while in the erect
position congresses the vertebrae, or
small bones in the spine, the discs OF
cartilage between them. the pelvis
and the thigh bones, and this pressure
overcomes the natural elasticity Of the
discs and the growth OF these bones.
However. British scientist contends
that were a man a quadruped and
therefore freed from the downward
pressure produced by his weight upon
his spinal column, he would continue
to grow in height for ten years longer
than he does at present, since 1t has
been found that bones not subjected
to compression increase up to the
fourth decade.
