when Moses was being schooled "in 81
the learning of the Egyptians" J" and that
he may have often looked upon their
faces. While the Hebrews were sink
ing from free-shepherd life into bond
age In Egypt. another great and vain
glorious monarch arose. This was
Rameses H., pompous, cruel king as
his own inscriptions show. He was so
boastful that he often engraved praises
of himself on the monuments of earlier
kings, and thus 1t came that his deeds
are mentioned on the obelisks. 1t was
this Rameses who compelled the chill
dren of Israel TO build him treasure
cities ofbrick as the Bible records. The
plaques and the exodus of Israel took
place under the reign of his weaker son,
Manephtha.
After the Romans bad conquered
Egypt, centuries later, these two obelisks
were removed from On to the city Of
Alexandria. on the coast. They were
then set up before the new temple
erected for the worship of the Cesar of
Rome, the then sovereign of the world.
This was in the reign of the Emperor
Agustus, 1900 years ago, and shortly
after the death OF Cleopatra, the last
Queen OF Egypt. In after years the
Egyptians gave currency TO a tradition
that she had conveyed these monoliths
10 their new station, and so 1t chanced
that they have been ever since known as
Cleopatra's needles. In the lapse Of
centuries one of these obelisks tell pros
trate and that is the one which now
adorns the Thames embankment, the
other being the one so successfully
brought to this city by Captain Cor
ringe. This needle has stood erect
throughout the entire period of the
Christian era, though part of its base
has gradually worn away, and the
column has required 20 be kept in posi-
ion by inserting loose stones. The in
scriptions on the eas. and south sides
have also been somewhat defaced,
either by the action OF the sea-breeze. or
the steady cutting by winds laden with
sand from the desert. Still, ii is in re-
markable preservation, and when set up
will prove one of the greatest attractions
of New York. The entire cost involved
in bringing it here will be about $780,
600, which it is understood, is to be
borne by William II. Vanderbilt, Esq.

Peter Williams, of Brunswick county,
Ga, had just housed his large tobacco

The intense heat during the day. to-
gether with the brittleness of the straw,
caused Lancaster county. pa farmers
TO do their harvesting by night by the
aid of artificial light.
Labor during the haying and harvest
this season in Indiana has not been so
scarce and high-priced in sixty-five
years. Two women have found con-
slant employment in harvest field al

Pennsylvania claims to have the pre-
MUM wheat-field. 1t is part OF the
farm of Mrs. DIR. Nathan Michener. of
Coventryville, Chester county. From
four-acre field $500 sheaves of wheat
were hauled into the barn.
The army worms, says the Reverend
Thomas Mccormick, of Baltimore, who
is now in his ninetieth year, suddenly
made their appearance in the year 1900.
A fine wheat-field adjoining the Newiin
mill property WAS the first attacked.
They were countless in numbers. and,
after stripping the wheat. continued
their march into the adjoining wood
lands, which they left entirely denuded
of foliage and presenting the appear

field had at the east end n running

dren and reeking with horrible odors.
1t had been leased TO a man who sub
let it, and who cared nothing about its
condition so long as he got money
enough out Of the tenants TO pay him
for his risk. On one Of the landings
met a young man who was writing
something in a memorandum book.
Half n dozen women were talking TO
him at once. and several children seemed
interested in what he was doing. Being
little curious 10 know his business in

swered promptly that his business was
to insure the children. lie represented
a company (naming it). he said, that
made specially of insuring the lives OF
children in tenement-houses. The COM
pany did quite large business. too.
The risks taken were generally small
from ten to twenty dollars on each child
insured. The premium was payable
weekly, and ran from five cents to
twenty cents week. The company had
several canvassers employed, going from
house to house in the tenement quarters,
When child died the insurance money
was promptly paid. 1t was not much,
but at all events 1t helped the parents to
bury their child. II the parents failed
to keep up the weekly payment OF prem
iums, of course the policy lapsed. AS
the mortality among children. especially
in tenements. was very great, thought
the business of insuring their lives could
not be profitable, but the young man
said the company was doing very we'll.
and had already made good deal of
money.

How 10 Jump from q Steamer In Case o

1t is worth while for persons who

Of an accident, they leap into the water

wheels are in motion. In spite of their
efforts they will be drawn close to the
side of the vessel, and suffer y blow

hem outright or disable them so that
they can no longer help themselves.
They should leap from behind the

her usual speed, the wheel will be likely
to pass over him before he rises. and his
chances Tor escaping will be fair. In
cases where communication with the

se Careful what You Say.

In speaking OF a persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those In houses glass
Should never throw stone.
II we have nothing else 10 do,
But talk OF those who sin,
'Tis better we commence at home.
And from that point begin,
We have no right to Judge q man
Until he is fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults and who has notl
The old as we'll as young;
We may, perhaps, for aught we know,
Nave fifty to their one.
I'll tell you OF better plan,
And find it works full well;
To try my own defects to cure
Before OF others tell.
And though I sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know.
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults OF others go.
Then let us all, when we commence
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do,
To those we little know;
Remember curses sometimes, like
Our chickens, "roost at home;"
Don't speak OF others faults until
We have none of our own.
