PRIMITIVE AGRICULTURE. How Early Tribes Drew Their Sustenance from the Soil CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAZETTE. The most prominent feature in the history of the gradual growth and development of man is agriculture. Having its origin in necessity, its development has kept pace with man's advancement to the highly civilized plane he has attained. Beginning with the use of nuts, fruits, roots and game obtained in the wild state, the requirements became more exacting, for man is in nature never satisfied. The resort to planting and growing for themselves the different fruits which the early inhabitants of the earth had been accustomed to use was but a natural outcome of observing how seeds sprouted, grew and produced the very articles of diet with which they were familiar. The increase of population in the "eradle of man" gradually forced the weaker tribes into the great deserts to the west. Here they encountered the hardest conditions, finding nature against them in a land where water was scarce and where no vegetation could grow except in the immediate vicinity of springs. It was under rigorous conditions that the desert tribes lived and grew in numbers and strength. By reason of their surroundings and the hard struggle for existence, these people became fatalists. Under the later influence of the Koran, their fanatical instincts were aroused and they went forth to the conquest of the world, to convert all to the doctrines of Mohammed. They are today a sturdy, wiry race, but from the first their training has been in the hard school of adversity. Theirs was not "a land flowing with milk and honey," but what they raised was by the abundant sweat of the brow. The culture of the simplest necessities meant indefatigable and patient labor. EARLIEST IRRIGATION. From time immemorial irrigation has been practiced by man in aid of agriculture; in fact, the birth of agriculture was in irrigation. The idea undoubtedly originated in the apt illustrations afforded by the oases in the deserts. Here, with surrounding sand—hot, blistering, drifting sand, absolutely devoid of vegetation—the hardy sons of the desert were wont to seek the grateful shade.

FROM TIME IMPERIAL Irrigation has been practiced by man in aid of agriculture; in fact, the birth of agriculture was in irrigation. The idea undoubtedly originated in the apt illustrations afforded by the oases in the deserts. Here, with surrounding sand—hot, blistering, drifting sand, absolutely devoid of vegetation—the hardy sons of the desert were wont to seek the grateful shade. Beside the springs they could lie in the shadow of the date palm and sleep the sleep of the weary, rising refreshed and ready for the next journey which was measured from oasis to oasis. It was but natural for man to observe that where springs and water were plentiful vegetation throve. By the cultivation of the larger of these oases they raised the food necessary for their simple diet. When they needed more land for agriculture, it was but natural to attempt to moisten the soil. To secure water for this, wells were dug. From these the water was drawn by hand and carried in leathern bags to the little patch which they intended to cultivate. ALL BY HAND LABOR. Where the desert extended along the banks of a river, as the Nile or the Euphrates, for instance, the water was plentiful. It but needed to be applied to the land to produce the crops needed by man. The sculptures of ancient Egypt contain figures of men with yokes upon their shoulders bearing water pots. This was of course only possible where the water was near at hand. Sculptures of a little later date show the use of the bucket and lever known as the shadoof by the Arabs—the simple well sweep of our older country homes and still used for irrigation in many parts of Egypt, Arabia, Persia and India. It consists of a pole pivoted upon an upright with a skin bucket fastened to one end and a weight upon the other. With this the water can be raised to the height of 8 or 10 feet into a trough, from which it flows into a small tank or surface reservoir. Where the water has to be raised to a great height, it is accomplished by a series of shadoofs, one above the other, each depositing the water in a tank immediately above, from which it is again raised 8 or 10 feet, and so on until it finally on the level of the land sought to be irrigated. UTILIZING NATURE. As civilization progressed, ditches or troughs by easy transition replaced the man with the bucket as the means of leading the water onto land. Ridges a few inches in height were raised around small patches of ground, and the water was permitted to run in until the soil was covered, when the gap was closed in this square and an opening made in the next. After a long apprenticeship man gradually acquired a knowledge of mechanics and the application of the forces of nature to his own ends. Crude water wheels were constructed which were propelled first by human labor and later by oxen, cows, donkeys or camels, and finally by the current of streams. The need was water! water! water! No matter how laborious the task, water must be gotten. So by these methods against overwhelming odds, man's struggle with the forces of nature has continued for untold ages. And today, through the application of the principles discovered by our predecessors in imitation we see millions of acres of soil, worthless otherwise, reclaimed and made fruitful. Experience has shown that where the water is under control better and larger crops can be produced than on lands where nature has been most bountiful in furnishing rainfall. In the latter regions, rain often comes at inopportune times, and again fails just when most needed by the maturing crop. Failure or partial failure is frequent in the most favored regions; under modern systems of irrigation it is impossible. Irrigated farms never wear out. It may occur to farmers who are in the habit of applying large quantities of manure and fertilizer to their lands and raising only moderate crops, that where irrigation is practiced and immense crops grown every season without intermission, either increased manuring is necessary or in its absence, the land, from the increased drain put upon it, will gradually lose fertility. This is not shown to be the case however. Where the irrigating water is drawn from surface supplies, it itself furnishes an everlasting source of fertility. The lands irrigated by the Nile floods, are of surpassing richness and their tillers never heard of such things as crop rotation, plowing under clover, manuring or fertilizing. The ancient irrigated rice fields of the Philippines, which yield from four to six times the crop of the dry-farmed sections, have never known artificial fertilizing, and in the United States we have the evidence of New Mexican farms which have been under cultivation for 250 years and are today as productive as virgin land. Irrigation water is both drink and food. Little Japan seems to have taken hold of the forestry question more intelligently and vigorously than ourselves. A definite plan is being followed in the perpetuation of her forest areas, their importance in relation to agriculture and water supply being recognized. Under imperial edict every mature tree cut down must be replaced by the planting of a young tree. Carpenter Shop Persiage. The Carpenter had put down his tools and gone for his luncheon. "Life with me is a perfect bore," said the Auger. WATER THE ELIXIR OF LAND Counterparts of Our Subterranean River on the Other Side of the Globe Persian System of Irrigation. The great subterranean rivers of West which slowly wend their way, hundreds of feet beneath earth's surface, have their coups parts on the other face of the glacier. The Caspian Sea is fed by many terrestrial streams. These streets like those of our own arid region, their sources in the mountains, we are covered with perpetual snow. Water from this melting snow collates downward to a deep-lying penetrable stratum, where it begins underground passage to the sea. None of Persia is naturally deprived so few that irrigation from source is very limited, and serves a small portion of the country. Turries ago the Persians stumbled on the idea of tapping underground streams, or springs at the base mountains, and the transition of Persian desert into a land of great utility is due to this constant source of water supply. But the water has obtained only through the most fatigable labor. A well is sunk into the foothill depth anywhere from 100 to 300. When this tapthe vein of water other shaft is sunk a couple of buoyards farther down the slope, whence reality a gentle descent of the land from the mountains. A car subterranean aqueduct is then cavated between the two shafts. Similar distance farther down and shaft is sunk and likewise connected with the second; and so the car carried for miles. As the car given just fall enough to allow flow of water, it gradually approves the surface until, when it draws land to be irrigated, she comes forth a purling, bubbling There is no police-man to enforce the laws of health and to call "stop!" when you are in danger from disease. But Nature has her own danger signals. When pain shoots like a lightning flash along the nerves, when the heart beats feebly or irregularly, when there is unnatural fullness after eating, sour risings, headache, coated tongue or irritable temper, then Nature is plucking you by the sleeve and calling "stop!" To neglect these warnings is dangerous. Derangement of the stomach and its allied organs is but the beginning of trouble for the whole body. As a complete cure for disease of the stomach and the organs of digestion and nutrition Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery stands without an equal. It purifies the blood, cleanses the system of poisonous accumulations, nourishes the starved nerves and builds up the entire body, blood and bone, muscle and nerve. "It is with pleasure that I tell you what Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pellets' have done for me," writes Mrs. T. M. Palmer, of Peede, Kaufman Co., Texas. "Two years ago I was taken with stomach and bowel trouble. Everything I ate would put me in distress. I lived two weeks on milk and even that gave me pain. I felt as though I would starve to death. Three doctors attended me—one said I had dyspepsia, two said catarrh of the stomach and bowels. They attended me (one at a time) for one year. I stopped taking their medicine and tried patent medicine; got no better, and I grew so weak and nervous my heart would flutter. I could not do any kind of work. Now I can do my house work very well, am gaining in flesh and strength, and can eat anything." Carpenter Shop Peralfiage. The Carpenter had put down his tools and gone for his luncheon. "Life with me is a perfect bore," said the Auger. "I'm a little board myself," said the Small Plank. "There's no art in this country," observed the Screwdriver. "Everything's screwed in my eyes." "You don't stick at anything long enough to know what you're driving at," interjected the Glue. "That's just it," said the Screw. "He never goes beneath the surface the way the Jack Plane and I do." "Tut!" cried the Saw. "I go through things just as much as you do. Life's stuffed with sawdust." "Regular grind," said the Grindstone. "I agree with you," observed the Bench. "It doesn't make any difference how well I do my work. I'm always sat on." "Let's strike," said the Hammer. "That’s it!" cried the Auger. "You hit the nail on the head that time." "I'll hit it again." retorted the Hammer, and he kept his word, but he hit the wrong nail. That is why the Carpenter now wears his thumb in a bandage. It was his thumb nail the Hammer struck. —Harper's Bazar. An Awkward Stake. Briggs is dreamily nearsighted. You know that hat his wife wears with all those black plumes in it? Yes, I've seen it.

Cheshire cheese owes its excellence partly to geological causes, the red sandstone and bowlder clay, with its immense salt deposits, of which the country is formed, producing a herbage peculiar suited for cheese production.

Calino, the French "Mrs. Partington," does not amuse so much by the confusion of his words as by the quintiness and unintended plainness of his remarks. He entered the service of a well known doctor, who, after Calino had been buying hay for his horses for awhile, made up his mind that the hay was worthless. "That is very poor hay that you've been buying," the doctor complained. "But the horses eat it, sir." said Calino. "No matter. It's bad hay." "Yes, sir." said Calino respectfully. "I'll change it. I know you are a much better judge of hay than the horses are!" One day the bell rang, and Calino came in. "A patient has arrived, sir." he reported. "An old patient or a new one?" asked the doctor. "New one, of course, sir." said Calino. "The old ones never come back!" Calino admired very much the beautiful teeth of a lady among his master's patients. "Ah!" he exclaimed. "Her teeth are as fresh and sound and white as a new born baby's!" Parson and Pheasant.

A Case of Confused Tele this taps the vein of water, an ear shaft is sunk a couple of hundred feet farther down the slope, which is peculiarly a gentle descent of the table from the mountains. A canal or merranican aqueduct is then extended between the two shafts. At a near distance farther down another is sunk and likewise connected to the second; and so the canal is filled for miles. As the canal is just fall enough to allow a free of water, it gradually approaches surface until, when it draws near land to be irrigated, the stream pours forth a purling, bubbling brook, lying in the brilliant sunshine as it lies on its mission to redeem the waste places of nature. For this it goes through what at one moment was a desert, but which under the eerie influence of this elixir of life becomes a garden of the gods. It feeds among around which in languorous silence repose the dark-eyed beauty of the harem; it furnishes the majors, those luxurious of the Orient; it bears wonderful gardens where in rolling profusion bloom throughout year the rose, chrysanthemum, narcissus, tuberose, dahlia, white lily and iris, besides fantastic shrubs and rare heathy, heavy with rich perfumes.

"Tell him to wait." Mrs. Golddecker waved aside the maid, and, rising anxiously, looked out on upper Fifth avenue from the window of her just completed nineteenth century palace. She was wondering whether his man, for whom she had sent, possessed at last the one secret that could make her happy. She paused for a moment, nerving herself inwardly to encounter disappointment in case it should come, and then, in full control of herself, she prepared to descend. Leaving her bondoir, with its $100,000 bedstead, she passed the diamond and sapphire inlaid bathroom, with its gold faucets glittering in the electric light, and, stepping into the cut glass elevator, was whirled rapidly downward to the first floor. Stepping lightly over the $1,000,000 rug in the reception hall and brushing abstractedly against the $2,000,000 tapestries in the drawing room, she passed through a long passage into the waiting room in the rear of the house, where a tall, dignified foreigner stood up and bowed respectfully as she entered. "Can you make good bread?" she asked.—Criterion. "A patient has arrived, sir," he reported. "An old patient or a new one?" asked the doctor. "New one, of course, sir," said Callino. "The old ones never come back!" Calino admired very much the beautiful teeth of a lady among his master's patients. "Ahl!" he exclaimed. "Her teeth are as fresh and sound and white as a new born baby's!" Parson and Pheasant. There was a sort of Jack Russell parson who was called in from his shooting one day to a christening, and with him came his factotum, who was both parish clerk and keeper. He put gun and bag down in the porch and commenced the service, but it was interrupted by a wild fluttering outside the open door, and one of the pheasants, which was not as dead as it ought to have been, rose up and flew hither and thither through the church with the noise and cormotion of which only pheasants, and frightened pheasants, are capable. "Mark that cock, John," said the parson in his usual sonorous voice, and then resumed the service. And here again I do not think one of the little party around the font saw the humor of the thing, and certainly John, who replied "Yes, sir," with as much propriety and dignity as he had just been responding "Amen," saw nothing incongruous or unbeitting in the scene. —Longman's.

Green leaved, deciduous tree on the lower mountain water courses. In these, we also find the native maple. The native bay tree is another water beaker. This handsome evergreen becomes more scattering and finally disappears from the canyons as we recede from the coast. Its leaf has an intense pungent odor. In the Coast range anyons in the northern part of the state, where the bay, Umbellulaia California, grows into a superb tree, I have been oppressed after a forgy night on going into the canyons after the sun came out by the powerful odor of the bay trees. The sycamore and cottonwood poplar grow out in the canyons and washes toard and into the valleys. The California cottonwood poplar is remarkably hardy tree, standing both kali and rocky soils, and the alternate frosts and fiery heats of our high deserts. The poplar has two species here, the principal one being P. Fremonti, the cottonwood, and the other P. Tricharpa, the balsam poplar. The former of these has flattened leaf stalks, downy leaf buds and the young wood is light or yellowish in color. The latter is shiny, sticky leaf buds, round leaf tails and dark-colored young wood. The mesquit is a fine tree for alkaine and hot places. Its wood is a great heat maker. I have seen fine, large tree specimens of mesquit grown in the San Gabriel valley. It is native to one desert district. The California walnut, Juglans California, has a sweet nut with a thick, hard shell. It grows along in the terriary foothills.

Early last week a well known lady, who shall be called Jones, dreamed a ridiculous dream, as inconsequential as most dreams are. Mrs. Jones dreamed that a dog of hers had died and that she received an official communication ordering her either to cremate the remains or to her self skin the animal and throw the body into the river. Mrs. Jones chose the latter alternative, but having half skinned the body and becoming tired threw it as it was into the water. The dog disappeared for an instant and then reappeared on the surface alive, and swimming across to the opposite bank trotted off, evidently in great suffering. There ends the dream. The next morning the postman brought several letters. The first one was addressed to Lewis Jones, Esq.,—there being no such person—and ran as follows: "Sir, your dog crossed the river last night on to my property, but being very severely injured it was found necessary to kill it. Should you wish to have the collar, which bears your name and address, I shall be happy to send it to you." No dog belonging to Mrs. Jones had died nor had she lost one.—London Truth. Sharks were almost unknown in the Adriatic until the Suez canal was opened. Now the harbors of Flume and Pola are so infested with them that residents dare no longer bathe in the open sea. If you want to forget all your other sorrows, get a pair of tight shoes.—Des Moines Leader. Argentina, now the Argentine Republic, owes its name to the silvery reflection of its rivers. An Incredulous Jury. In a criminal prosecution recently tried in York, Neb., the jury, after a brief deliberation, returned the following remarkable verdict: "We, the jury in the above named case, do not believe one word that the witnesses have sworn to; neither do we believe that any of the attorneys have spoken the truth, nor that either of them could do so even if he should care to take the trouble to try." The humor in remarks casting doubt upon the veracity of the legal profession has lost the freshness of early youth, and a good, stiff penalty for contempt in cases of this kind would probably redound to the benefit of mankind in general.—Law Notes. A Marriage Fee. A clergyman of Georgia was once standing in the courthouse when a Hoosier came in to see the ordinary in order to procure a marriage license. The countryman asked for "a pair of licenses," and on making the purchase necessary to being united in the holy bonds of matrimony inquired of the ordinary. "Who can I git to marry me?" The ordinary replied that he could perform the ceremony, or the parson, standing near, would probably accommodate him. The countryman turned to the parson and asked if he would marry him. The parson readily consented and asked the would be bridegroom. "Where's your gal?" He replied, "Out yonder—in the street." The parson said, "Fetch her in." Then she was "fotch" in and the "knot tied." The bridegroom asked the parson the amount of indebtedness incurred and was told that no charge was made, but that he always left the matter for the bridegroom to decide. The latter replied: "I've got no money. I've got a load of punkins out yonder. I'll give you a punkin."—Homiletic Review.
