Eodjoine in Ancient Egypt.

ELsrS the German archeologist. has
'A"b ~ interesting discovery of what is
said 10 bs = portion of one OF the lost Her
4netle books Of medicine. Hitherto all at
tempts TO trace the origin Of the reputed
Hernistie writing have failed and it has
been assumed that the great "Hermes
was a Astrological parsonage invented by
the earlier aiehsmists to credit the acquired
knowledge with the authority of antiquity.
The manuscript, when thoroughly deciph-
cred, may throw some light on this doubt
ful point; but, even if it fails to do SO. the
fact that a fragment of the lost learning of
The Egyptians has been recovered is a
matter OF scientific interest. The manu-
script Was discovered among the bones of a
mummy some years ago by an Arab, and on
bis death it was offered to DIR. Ebers. who
eventually purchased it at a considerable
price. 1t consists of a single sheet of papy-
rus, about sixty feet in length. and the
characters are in red and black ink. Judg-
ing from the characters, the date Of the
manuscript may be placed about 1900
years u. C., making it over $500 years old;
and, if written in the earlier part of the
century, it would have been contemporary
sous with the period of Moses residence at
the Court Of Pharaoh. Only a portion OF
the document has atpres.nt been translated
by Ebers, including some of the headings
Of the various chapters. such as /" the secret
book of the physicians,~ "the science of the
beating of the heart" 1.-THE knowledge Of
the heart as taught by the priest-physician
Nebscelit," medicines for alleviating ac-
cumulation of urine and Of the abdomen"
There is every reason to suppose that the
Egyptians attained a high degree of scien-
tifc knowledge at a very early period Of
their history. At the present day it is still
called, we believe, by the Copts the Land Of
Kemi. Lindas has suggested hat a knowl-
edge Of this art was introduced into Europe
by the Argonats. who sailed to Colchis to
carry of the Golden Fleece. The Colchians.
according to Herodotus. were an Egyptian
colony. and Lindas supposes the Golden
Fleece TO have been a pool written on
sheepskin. teaching the method of making
gold by the chemical art. The date of the
Argonantic expedition was. according te
most chronographers. 1850 B.. c., or SOC
years later han the supposed date OF
Ebers' manuscript. 1t is to be hoped that
future researches may bring to light further
evidence Of the scientific history of the
past, and so enable us to estimate the de-
gree of civilization and scientific attain
ment reached by the early races of man.

An Enthusiast i'm Hugging.

A couple from the country came to the
city yesterday, procured license, and
were married in due form. They left
on the afternoon train for home. They
attracted the attention of every passen-
ger by their lavish display of affection.
The young man kept his arm tight
around the brides waist, as if he was
afraid she would vanish before he knew
it, and she didn't seem to care if he
Rugged her right along for half day.
She was so terribly homely that every
body wondered how he could love her,
and by and by he seemed to think that
an explanation would be in order. He
borrowed chew of tobacco of a man
near the door, and remarked: "I'm
going to hug that girl all the way home,
though 1 know she isn't purity" "I
Wouldn't" briefly replied the man.
"And that's where you'd fool yourself, u
continued the young man. "When I'm
hugging a hundred acres of clean, nice
land, with forty head of stock on it,.
can make the homeliest girl in the world
look like an angel to me. "-Augusto
(Gd.) Chronicle.

Soft SOap as 4 WeanOn.

The most memorable cleaning that
ever was done with soft soap was when
it cleaned out band of savages. "Soft
soap" was first most effectually applied
in this country by the Swedish women
who defended the old Qog) Swedes'
church below Philadelphia, before the
city was laid out. Afriendly squaw gave
notice of an intended attack by the In
dams. The scandinavian ladies were
boiling soap, and they at once concluded
to convert the contents Of the kettle into
ammunition of defense. They lifted it
into the church, with fire-wood to keep
it hot. As the warriors began to under
mine the foundations, they received on
their bare backs spirited fire OF the
terrible material, which in due time sent
them bowling into the wilderness. The
incident was related bya participant, who
died in London at an advanced age. She
was a granddaughter of the Swedish
burgher, Suen Schulz.

more prominent ones ON larger scale.
arm aften asked the merits of this or that
grass. 1 advise thinking men to try
largo number of sorts and watch the re-
suits but try them on q small scale at
first. Do not mistake me in advising to
try all the new grasses to be had. Many
do not half use what they have
already. 1 would be far from ad-
vising any man to pay large prices for
fancy stocks and then make them mean
scrubs by taking no care of them. 1
have seen too much money fooled away
In such speculations. Better farming is
one OF our greatest needs. Seeds of
new grasses are high and hard to get !;
and with no experience it will not pay
to invest largely; but am sure it is safe
to start on small scale and raise your
own seeds and watch the result. Give
all OF them a good fair chance before
condemning them as worthless. Some
seedmen try to be very accommodating
and sell several kinds, each from the
same barrel, as pure and unauthorized.
Experiments are needed to try to i'm
prove our best species of grass. This
has been done in England to some ex-
tent upon rye grass, orchard grass, and
others, until, in some cases, varieties
have been originated as unlike each other
rs are our varieties OF wheat among each
other. They differ as much as pop corn
differs from sweet corn or dent corn, or
as much as these differ among each other.
Homegrown grass seeds are better for
us than those grown in England. They
are more likely to grow. They have be-
come accllmated.

Perils Of Life in the Hills.

Extract from q letter from Sidney,
Neb.: This morning conversed with
gentleman just in from Custer City,
Black Hills. My informant gives me
full particulars of the massacre of two
miners week ago on Deadwood creek,
famous as rich place for gold. These
two men had entered a claim there early
in the season, had built them sluices,
and put them up comfortable cabin.
Besides this, they had gathered about
them quite quantity of stock, and
were In good shape generally. After a
day of hard labor, digging down on the
Deadwood for the yellow dust, they
came to their cabin, cooked their supper
and ate it, and then retired, almost ex-
hausted. There had been rumor and
scent of Sioux about the diggings that
day but such were common, and the
men were actually too weary to keep the
guard they would otherwise have done.
The darkness was intense, and the snow
came silently down and drifted through
the moaning pine trees. The winds
were severe, too, and the trampling of
that Sioux did not reach the ears of the
tired miners. Only the wild shrek of
the red demons awoko them, and the
stampede of the stock. Then they
ran to the cabin-door, and fell across its
rude threshold, pierced by dozen rifle
balls, and dead. What followed may be
anticipated-the utter stampede of the
stock, and the scalping of the miners.
Next day the neighboring camps were
aroused but what policy in pursuit
could there be, with no trail or trace by
which to discover the villains2

Future Demand for American PrOduc
tiOns.

The cotton used in manufactures is
grown chiefly in the United States, and
successful competition with American
grown cotton seems impossible. The
British manufacturers must send here
for their cotton. The time will come
when most of the cotton grown in this
country will be manufactured here.
There will be large increase of the
manufacture in the Southern States, and
the goods manufactured will find their
way to markets now controlled by the
English for the British monopoly Of
this trade cannot be maintained forever.
A change is inevitable, and it will be
wholly in our favor. 1t will not come
rapidly, but it is sure to come in the not
very distant future for our American
manufacturers and traders are not likely
to lose Immediately their acknowledged
schrewdness and capacity for business

Stewards Method.

Taking into account the nature and ex-
tent of A. T. Stewards business transac-
tons, wholesale and retail, in this coun-
try and many others, in the mercantile
line, the real estate line, the building
line, the railroad line, and the hotel line,
1t is surprising to what slight degree he
suffered from the misdeeds of his GUS
toners, his partners, his managing men,
his statesmen, clerks, and other subordi-
mates. His remarkable exemption from
the losses which are constantly overtak-
ing other men who have so much less to
look after, was attributed by himself tc
the method he had adopted in the con
duct of his business. It would be worth
the while of careless business people,
negligent bank officers, and other loose
handed men who manage concerns, large
or small, to study up Mr.. Stewart

amateur society was producing the
drama "Ten Nights in Bar-room," in
which Frank Slade strikes his father
with bottle. A trick bottle is gener-

past that side of the head farthest from
the audience-not striking the player,
but appearing to the spectators as though
it did. On the occasion referred to
George Hazen, who was playing the part

of missing old Slade (Wm. +. Clark, edi-
tor of the Nea0s), struck him terrific
blow full id the head, knocking him
senseless and smashing the bottle to

At the benches are young men and
women In about equal numbers, dis
tributed according to the demands of

as in any mandatory, there is regular
system of work and a perfect subdivision
of labor. BY the peculiar method of
selection, each one has the work that
the majority think he or she is best suited
to perform consistently with the best in
terest of the establishment. On going
through the various departments, one
cannot fail to notice the quiet and order
that prevail. There is a rigid adherence
to business that is positively refreshing.
Persons familiar with working people in
mills and shops can readily recall that
calmness of manner, and ingenuity in
doing nothing with apparent energy that
characterize some of the workers. Not
trace of this can be seen in the Indus
trial works.
THE sun goes down, the lamps are
lighted, and the work goes on without q

spin steadily, the shavings fly from the

quickly in nimble girl fingers. 1t is

A Pleasant Place to Live.

The keeper of the Egg Rock light
station, on the coast of Maine, has a
pleasant habitation. A recent terrific
gale swept away the boat house and the
bell house, the tower of the latter being
hurled thirty feet from its foundation.
The machinery of the bell was carried
clean over the rock and completely de-
molished. Nearly every movable thing
was washed away. AT one time the water
was two feet deep on the floor OF
the dwelling house, and rocks weighing
more than two tons were lifted up by
the sea and deposited at the very door
of the house.

THE LITTLE FOLKS.


The Sparrow's May-Day.
Said Mr.. Sparrow to his wite,
One morning in the early spring:
Dear Mrs. s., upon my life,
I've come across the erandest thing
"A brand-new house, with floors to let,
mansard roof. and all complete!
Wen take door to-day, my pet,
And you must keep II nice and neat
"The situation Is tip-top-
None better wheresoe'r you hop.
And quite within the reach OF all
The windows where the crumbs do fall.
so of they new in haste, to see
The brand-new house; and, deary me!
Didn't they hutter in and out,
Scarce knowing what they were about!
Good Mrs. g., with straw in mouth,
Picked ont room that faced the south
For, very prudently, thought she:
" The sun will warm both eggs and me.
But Mr.. Sparrow did declare
The sun would surely scorch her there;
And as the room was very high,
Their little ones would fall ana ole.
At last they settled with each other
The first floor front to be the best;
And how they did help one another
To build coy little nest
They both few up, they both few down,
With threads and rags, and bits of straw;
They were the busiest birds in town,
And each day buster than before.
At last, the nest is all complete,
And Mrs. Sparrow stays inside,
Aud keeps the house so nice and neat,
That Mr.. S. looks on with pride.
And when the little birds appear,
Won't Mr.. Sparrow hop and sing,
And say 10 Mrs. s.. "My dear,
Our brand. new house is just the thing!"
Alfred Nelson, 50. Nicholas for Ma!
