White Slavery In Egypt.

OF course in country under Mohsm-
medan rule, where the harem system is in
operation, slavery as domestic institu-
ton will exist; and so far as one can
judge from recent events, Egypt does not
appear likely to prove an exception.
Every one remembers how only few
weeks ago the salable portion of the late
Mofettish's harem ESTIMATED at 800 in
number in white slaves alone) were
drought to the hammer" in Cairo, and
that, too, at the very time that the Khe-
dive announced his intention of suppress
ing the slave-trade in the Red Sea- His
Highness's own example in such matters
cannot be considered as altogether salts
factory, when one remembers the vast
numbers of women slaves that fill his
harems and contribute to his financial
embarrassments. l am credibly informed
that for two female slaves alone, pur-
chased at Constantinople from the chief
eunuch to the Sultan, the Khedive paid
no less than 100000. OF course, they
were the most beautiful of ''houris"-in
fact, 50 much so as to have aroused the
jealousy of the other inmates to an ex-
tent which at last compelled their pro-
prietor to send them away. The mode
usually adopted in such cases is to marry
the lady, after providing her with suita-
BILE dowry, to some favored courtier, who
considers himself much honored by the
distinction. This method of disposing of
the superfiuities of the Viceregal harem,
though preferable to the old plan of sew
ing them up in sacks and throwing them
into the Nile, does not, unfortunately,
always insure the domestic happiness of
the discarded favorite. In one case
which came to my knowledge, an officer
in the Egyptian army who had been hon
Ored in the above way, on seeing his bride
for the first time after the wedding, fonnd
her so unattractive that he refused to live
with her, and persisted in his determine
ton, although warned of the displeasure
which he would incur in high quarters.
The sequel to the story is equally in
structive, and throws much light on ORR
entail habits and customs. The husband
was appointed the "wakil" or deputy of
the governor of town far away in the
interior, and during the absence of his
chief on campaign had occasion to open
the Government dispatches, among which
were instructions to the effect that he was
himself to be put out of the way, either
by poisoned coffee or other means. The
officer, as in duty bound, acknowledged
the receipt of the letter intended for his
superior, merely adding that during the
latter's absence the request it contained
could not be complied with without Diet
riment to the public service, but that
upon his return everything should be
done as directed. In the meanwhile |
believe the gentleman found it convenient
to seek employment elsewhere. Cor. Of
the London Standard.

Nerves that Culver,

Heads that ache, somachs that infiict dys-
peptic torments, muscles and joints racked
TO health by the celebrated elixir, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, medicine prescribed by
physicians, possessing infinite purity, and
which no one takes in vain who is afflicted
with any of the numerous complaints TO
which it is adapted. 1t frequently happens
manent effect. This is because they are
merely pallatives, and therefore do not re-
move the cause of the maladies, whose symp-
toms they after time cease to ameliorate
This is notably the case with opiates and Sc
dative drugs. 1t is not so, however, with
Hostetter's Bitters, which are searching

SEED GRAIN.-It will pay to SOW the
very best seed Of all kinds, as | knew
from trial. clean it thoroughly through
the tanning mill, to get all the weed seed
and small and light grain from the heavy,
and have side spout for the mill, so
can take out the heavy, plump grain and
SOW the very best anu keep it free from
weed seed. There will always be enough
volunteer weeds without sowing them,
and if farmers generally would be more
particular about seed grain, they would
get we'll paid for it. The grain will grow
taller, the heads longer aud yield more
1t is just as necessary to take the best
grain for seed as il is to take the choice
corn or potatoes, or to select the best cat
tie, horses and hogs to breed from. Now,
in the winter, when we probably will now
and then have leisure day, is a very
good time to prepare seed grain and not
wait until we are crowded with spring
work. If we wait until we want to SOW
it, the chances are that it will not be
clesused 80 we'll, and perhaps not at all.
Don't put it of.-Country Gentleman.

A Large Stock Of Carriages, go

For twenty years the Concord Carriages
have been sold on the Pacific Coast, and their
merits are so we'll known that little need be
said in regard To their durability. Probably
few people are aware Of the great variety and
extensive stock kept on hand by the Abbot
Downing Co.'S Agency in San Francisco.
There are buggies, phaetons, light and
heavy express wagons, milk. grocery, and
farm wagons, trotting gigs, and a great va
riety Of each kind. They have over one
hundred and fifty on hand, and these include
no less than thirty different kinds and styles
Of wagons and carriages. They also keep in
stock full line Of J. X. Hin n Co.'S Concord
Harness. Parties who visit San Francisco
will do well To examine the stock for them
selves. Parties from the interior can send
their orders and have them filled at same
price as though they were there In person, AS
they can send for illustrated catalogue and
select any style they wish. I. 8. Eastman,
the Agent, at 4l3 and AIS Battery street, has
made material reduction In his prices to
suit the times, and will attend to all orders
with fidelity and promptness.

Number Of Eggs Per Annum

From the principal varieties of poultry.
After repeated experiments with the diff
ferent variety of chickens, the compare
sons with others who have experimental
in the same direction, have concluded
that the laying capabilities of the princi-
pal varieties average about as follows:
Light Brahmas and Partridge Cochins
Eggs, to the pound lay 1870 per
annum.
Dark Brahmas-Eggs, 8 to the pound l.;
lay 100 per annum.
Black, White, and Buff Cochins-Eggs,
to the pound; lay 115 per annum.
Plymouth Rocks-Eggs, 8 to the pound
lay $50 per annum.
Houdans-Eggs, 8 to the pound; lay
$50 per annum.
La Fleche Eggs, to the pound; lay
100 per annum.
Creve Ceurs-Eggs, 8 to the pound
lay 140 per annum.
Black Spanish-Eggs, Z to the pound
lay 140 per annum.
Leghorns-Eggs, 8 to the pound; lay
100 per annum.
Hamburgs-Eggs, to the pound; lay
100 per annum.
Polish-Eggs, 9 to the pound; lay 1875
per annum.
Dominiques-Eggs,9 to the pound; lay
1875 per annum.
Games-Eggs, Q to the pound; lay 1870
per annum.
Bantams-Eggs, 16 to the pound; lay

sumed by each variety.-Corr. Southern

Effects of Cold Storms on Poultry.

Each season of the year brings its spe-
cial work and care, demanding the atten-
ton Of the keepers of poultry. Except
ing the first bleak autumn storms, no
period of the year is so trying to the con-
stitution of fowls as cold, spring rain
storms. Birds that have stood the sever
ity of winter without any apparent signs
of disease, often succumb to the effects
of a chilly rains storm. The germs of dis
ease, however, are sometimes contracted
during confinement in winter, and the
sudden change of weather, experienced
during cold rain, will develop the NAL
ady, which is likely to become contagious.
Fowls that have been highly fed and kept
warm to induce laying, will, like forced
plant, be too tender to stand neglect dur
ing the early, drenching rains that pene-
trate to their very skins.
The danger need not be feared, how
ever, by those who will take a little extra
care of their stock during such weather.
AS soon as the earth softens under the
first mild breath of spring, fowls are all
awake to the prospect of getting worms
and other insects from the ground. They
will then be off, prowling about before
IL 10 O'Ou w oSS ehOh PAOys
but as they evidently know that the early
bird catches the worm, they are on the
ground betimes. Perhaps the next day
there is severe change in the weather,
with sleet or rain, and you will see the
birds hunting about, in hopes of finding
insects, till they get soaking wet through
their feathers, and if not we'll cared for,
this often proves fatal.
Most fanciers have noticed that cold
storm frequently stops hens from laying
for week. Now, this delay and risk of
sickness may often be prevented by Civ
ing them liberal mess of soft, warm
food, with little cayenne pepper in it.
To this should be added generous
amount of animal food, either scraps or
haslets, to take the place of the supply
of worms, which is stopped when the
fowls cannot get out. With this little
extra care, hens will often keep on laying,
retain perfect health, and be profitable
to their keepers.-Corres. Rural Ne,o
Yorker.

LINE DUsr.-The following has been
recommended as the best mode for pre-
pairing lime dust for slugs and other in
sects, for mildew, etc.: Take say peck
of fresh or sharp lime, broken up into
small pieces; then add four pounds Of
flour of sulphur, or in like proportions If
in smaller quantity. Add one-third as
much boiling water, or just enough to
slack the lime to dry powder, and cover
the vessel as soon as the water Is poured
on. BY adding water, 1t may be made
into an excellent whitewash for trees, the
sulphur increasing its efficacy.
In Biliancourt, Belgium, is cherry
