Ancient Memphis.

Memphis was one of the oldest of the
worlds great cities. 1t was built on the
banks of the Nile when all Europe was
savage wilderness, and its inhabitants
barbarians living in huts and caves.
The great city grew up under the rule
of the Pharaohs to be scene of busy
trade, almost as thickly populated as
London or New York. To-day its site
can scarcely be traced. But four thou
sand years ago Memphis was a CITY of
palaces and temples. Pharaoh was
lodged more splendidly than Louis
XIV, and Cheops provided himsel:
with the most magnificent of tombs.
One of the Memphian temples is thus
described: HE seemed to be in Mem.
phis his native city; and entering the
temple of Isis, saw it shining with the
splendor of a thousand lighted lamps;
all the avenues of the temple were
crowded with people, and resounded
with the noise of the passing thrones.''
The inner shrine was supposed to be
the residence of the goddess. To
Memphis, perhaps, came Joseph, the
gentle jew, to become the ruler of the
land. There came his brethren and the
Israelites, to buy corn. Here the Jews
passed their four centuries of captivity:
from its palaces they bore off the lew.
els and gold of the Egyptians; from its
memorable shore they set out on their
march; from the gates of Memphis the
furious Pharaoh followed with char
lot and horse, to perish in the treacher-
Gus sea.
Nowhere can be found more STRIKING
Incidents than are connected with this
desolate narrow part of the shore of the
Nile. Moses, perhaps, fioated in his
basket near by, and won his life with
the smile OF infancy, always irresistible.
It was the scene of the plaques. of the
terrible darkness, of the years of plenty
and the years of want. It flourished
in splendor and wealth for period that
makes the ages Of most cities seem
trivial. New York is not more than 25fl
years old, London about 1000; Mem.
phis fourished for more than 5000
years. It has passed away, but one of
its labors can never apparently perish.
Cheops, one of the Memphian Kings.
built the largest of the pyramids, and
near it are several others not much less
in size. A pyramid was no doubt a
royal tomb. Various explanations
have been given of the ORIGIN
and purpose of these wonderful
buildings. Some. suppose them
intended for astronomical purposes:
others suggest that they were designed
to mark the dimensions of an inch. and
Tx the system of computing distances.
But history and tradition assert that
they were the tombs of the Memphiap
kings.-Harper's Young People.

Red raspberries are excellent when

their flavor and aroma, be put up as
soon as they are gathered. Black
berries are inferior to red raspber-
rles, buff canned shortly after they are
picked they will come out in very good
condition and be well relished. REQ
and white currants contain too many
seeds to be very desirable. It is better
to extract their juice and to convert it
into jelly. All who relish black cur
rants when fresh will like them after
they have been canned. They form an
excellent sauce without further cook
ing, and arei good condition to use in
pies and tarts. Gooseberries. if gath

Most kinds of plums are good, but ow-

Of the sweet fruits there is none better
than pears. Even the inferior varieties
are excellent when canned. The ounce

poses. being almost the only Kind Of

that contain apples or pears of inferior
flavor. The larger varieties of crab
apples form a valuable addition to the
stock OF canned fruits. Chicago Times

The Hen Question.

This is the time of year when hens
ieave their reservations and invade the
> gardens of peaceful people in order to
grub. During the winter hens are rare
~ on the aMarA-pAth, but remain at
hunt the wild earth-worm and the timid
home, and lazily fatten in their wig-
vans; but the breath of spring ro1ses
IN them all their predatory instincts.
Inc amount of injury inflicted upon the
vegetables and tempers of men bv hens
is enormous and there is no doubtthat
It far exceeds the annual sum of Injuries
inflicted by Indians upon frontier
settlers. ,lsss S -
It is shameful fact that our Govern
.ment has nohen policy. It simply TO-
nores the existence of hens; and turns
deaf earto their wild war-whoops and
the indignant language of their victims.
This lack of a hen policy is unquestion-
1hsy due to 3 want of perception on
ItAe part of the Governments of
nAof the finest opportunities ever Of
!! eaa e enterprising politicians. Ii we
had Hen Bureau what wealth of new
offices would be opened to earnest
workers" and what splendid fortunes
would be placed within the reach of
true statesmen. As things now, are,

ueighboring hens, and. unfortunately,

the courts. When Smiths hens make

Emily's Out.of. Door Sleep.

There was once a little girl named
Emily. who did net ike to 60 to bed.
This was not because she did not feel
sleepy. Every night when the Sand
man came round with his bag of silver
sand, he sprinkled some in Emily's
es es- They wele big brown.ey with
long iashes. de Always remembered
to look for them. But Emily wanted to
be "big girl. :" Only little girls were
sent to bed at eight o'clock. Mamma
grew tired of saying. night after night,
:" It's bedtime dear.'S No wonder.

it Is IN some respects worse than the
evil which it is intended to cure. When
hen is shot, an immediate quarrel fol-
lows between the shooter and the own
er of the hen, and if the latter person
| happens to be a woman, the quarrel can
never be made up. The owner of the
hen sends in a bill charging for the de-
ceased bird at the highest restaurant
rates, and the shooter, after refusing to
pay it, is dragged before the courts,
where he learns that shooting hens,
is an offense of which the laws take
cognizance. Sometimes he is compel
led to pay the full value of the hen, and
at other times he is fined merely NOM
inal sum. This uncertainty of the law
is even more trying to the temper than
the certainty of severe punishment
would be, for the man who wants to
shoot, hen is harassed by the reflection
that no one can possibly tell whether he
will be punished or praised for his act
Such state of things as this is intoler-
able, and it is marvellous that our re-
formers have not long since begun au
earnest movement in favor of Govern.
mental control of hens.
A painful illustration of the demon
alizing results of our present want of any
hen policy occurred not long ago in
Oshkosh. Mr.. McFadden owned a
large collection of hens, and as his ward
was separated only by ragged hedge
from the garden of Mr.. Schneider, his
hens were accustomed to ravage that
estimable Germans vegetable beds.
Mr.. Schneider finally bought gun and
sent word to his neighbor that on and
after the ensuing Monday he would
shoot every hen that he might find in
his yard. 1t was on Thursday that
Mr.. McFadden received this message,
and he instantly sent to a taxidermist
and had half dozen stuffed hens so pre-
pared that their heads would nod under
the influence of gentle spring breeze.
Early Monday morning he shut up his
live hens and carefully set out his dead
hens. partially concealing them from
Mr.. Schneider's view by placing them
behind some thin bushes. After break
fast he saw Mr.. Schneider issue from
his house with his gun in his hand and
take up position near the hedge.
Mr.. Schneider is somewhat nearsightetl
and he readily mistook the decoy hen,
for party of live hens preparing for q
raid on the Schneiderean garden. He
resolved to wait for them, and to shoot
them the moment they should cross the
boundary hedge. All day Mr.. Schnei-
der watched those hens, eager for
shot. and determined never to relax
his vigilance. Curiously enough, no
hen came into his garden, although he
watched from eight o. clock in the morn
ing till sunset. For more than week
he has kept at his post, neglecting his
business and using German language
of a nature that will not admit of pub
LEGATION. Each day Mr. McFadden
changes the position of his decoys, and
rolls upon the floor of his room in de-
light as he watches his angry and per-
sistent neighbor. Thus have deceit,
bad temper. and German profanity re-
suited from the absence of anv hen
policy in Oshkosh, and results equally
deplorable are constantly occurring in
every part of our land.-New York
