DREADFUL SPIRIT OF EVIL
African Tribes Have Implicit Belief
In the Existence Of Monster Who
infilcts Death.

African tribes, while having no
gods, believe in queer parsonage
known as Nyakwa. He is the son
of human parents; but no one knows
who those parents are, and even the
parents themselves don't know it.
He is mortal, though he is never
known to die. He is invulnerable,
though no one ever tried to wound
him. He is invisible to all human
eyes except TO those of his intended
victims, and only once to them. ANY
one who looks upon Nyakwa knows
that he must die within that moon.
Those who claim to have seen him
say that he is neither white nor
black, nor vet the color of a mulat-
to; but of pale, grayish-yellow
hue like that Of dead grass. He
wears the skin of deadly serpent
about his waist. He lives in the
marshes of the jungle and never
leaves them except at night then he
often steals into the villages, usually
when it is stormy. Silently and
without giving pain at the time, he
gnaws at the heart, sucks the blood
and blows his fetid breath into the
faces of his victims while they sleep.

HOW TWO BOYS TOOK LEAVE.

the leave-taking Of two close school
boy friends-of whom he was one
at Marlborough. They were lying
on the grass:
And at last the friend rolled over
on to his face and said:

NATURES WORK WELL DONE
All Her Doings, However IL
Seems TO us.

Natures methods, we say, are
blind, haphazard; the wind blows
where it hsteth, and the seeds fall
where the winds and waters carry
them; the frosts blight this section
and spare not; the rains food the
country in the West and the drought
burns up vegetation in the East.
And yet we survive and prosper, OBJ
serves John Burroughs in the At
lantic. Nature averages mp well. We
see nothing like a purpose or will
in her total scheme of things, yet in
side her hit and miss methods, her
storms and tornadoes and earth
quakes and distempers, we see a
fundamental benefaction. If it is
not good will it amounts to the same
thing. Our fathers saw special prov
licences, but we see only unchange-
able laws. Nature has no art, no
architecture, no music. Her temples,
as the poets tell us, are the woods,
her harps the branches of the trees,
her MINISTRIES the birds and insects,
her gardens the fields and waysides
all safe comparisons for purposes
of literature, but not for purposes
of science.

Do the Young
People of D. 6.
WorkGardens?

Baseball. dancing, fishing,
hikes. reading and flying kites
are all good pastimes, but how
many Of the boys and girls of
Washington would like to work
their own gardens?
Vegetable gardens are urged
because they are of the greatest
practical use in the home. But
that is no reason why some
flowers should not be planted to
add to the beauty of your plot.
The writer always manages to
squeeze in a few astors, nastur-
tiums and sweet peas around the
edge of his garden.
This list Of vegetables is rec
commended: Cabbage. potatoes,
lettuce, carrots. radishes, lima
beans. wax beans. peas. toma-
toes, turnips, onions, beets and
corn. Whether or not you include
all these, or add others, depends
upon your desires and the
amount of space you have. A
few suggestions as to the plant
ing and cultivation of some of
these Will be given in later ar
ticles.
Experience is the best teacher
in gardening, but a whole lot
can be learned through CONVEX
sations with your neighbors who
have conducted successful plots.
Living near you. they are most
capable of telling what should
be done to your particular kind
OF soil to get the best results
and they know when is the best
time to plant. and what. Get as
many hints from them as you
can.
