Women in Egypt.

Lysander Dickerson, who is deliver
ing q course Of lectures in Boston on
the Egyptians, devoted q portion Of
bis last lecture to the condition of
women among them. He said that
though there was no trace of a a
riage ceremony, there were laws and
contracts that made the women equal,
and even superior TO the man in prop
erty and social rights. He read sew
trail marriage contracts to show the
gradual progress in freedom and inhu-
ence of married women. In 181 b. C.,
the decree of Philopater that no wife
should dispose of her property without
the consent of her husband, actually
killed women's rights, and from that
time it would seem that the dethrone-
ment of women was sure and sudden.
Marriage between brothers and sisters
was lawful, the marriage of Isis and
Osiris among the gods forming the
basis for this. Monogamy was the
rule.

German Census Statistics.

From the London Times.
The results ofthe quinquennialnum-
bering Of the population Of Germany,
which was made on the 1st of Decem-
Der last, have been so far ascertained
that we know accurately the popula-
ton of all the large towns. In De-
cember 1880, the number OF towns
with a population exceeding $4,000
was Al, of which Ia had a population
exceeding 100000. Last month the
number with over $4,000 inhabitants
had increased to IS, of. which no less
than 21 count more than 100, 900 in
habisents. Dusseldorf, Berlin, Magde-
burg. Chemnitz, Nurnberg, Hamburg
and Leipsic show an increase during
the FIVE years of over la per cent, Gre
field over 81 per cent. Kiel, Dortmund,
Manneheim and Carlsrune over Upper
cent. In Dantsic the population has
increased only 5 per cent. while in Me-
mel there has been o. decrease OF near.
A1-2 per cent.

Tree Planting i'm the United
States.

From a paper Oh the woods of the
United States and their destruction,
in the February Century, Mr.. j. f..
Chamberlin sums up as follows: THE
reasonable conclusion OF the whole
matter would seem TO be that while
there is no serious menace to the
eastern half of the United States
through the loss of forests, there is
good reasan to urge the preservation
of as much of them ais possible and
the encouragement ofnew plantations;
while in the western half of the coun-
try the immediate withdrawal from
sale of the whole body of forests be-
longing to the Government is highly
desirable. There should be an ex-
haustive inquiry, at the hands OF q
competent Government commission,
into the subject of the extent offorests
belonging to the Government, their
location, value, character, ETC., the
proportion ofprivate landsnow wood
ed, and the apparent dependence or
independence, as the case may be, OF
all sections of the country upon the
modifying effect of forests. Exact in
formation is now needed, which could
scarcely be obtained except through
the efforts of such q commission.
sentimental considerations, | sup
pose, are to be held secondary to IL Q
practical In the matter; but they ale
powerful and should be aroused in be-
hall OF no object more readily than
the woods, which have occupied so
large a place in the sentimental life of
man from the earliest times"

Lack Of Tact.

The proverb, "Some peoples finger.
are all thumbs" describes those who
! lack that delicate moral touch which il
called tact The word comes from q
Latin word meaning 70 toueh, and denotes
the power of quickly perceiving and
readily doing what is required by cir
cumstances.
1t is prompted by the desire TO be kind
in kindly way. 1t makes people com
! Portable by hum6ring them, so that they
feel at their ease and are inclined to put
their best foot foremost.
The most irritating thorns in social
life are the "Joe Blunts," who blurt out
offensive remarks with the apoIogetic
clause, ''You know always say what /
think-there's no deceit about me"
Solomon sent the sluggard 70 the ant
to learn industry. We would send the
"Blunts" to a well bred cat to learn the
company. 4 cat who wishes TO take her
ease will do it 50 quietly and gracefully
that not a guest in the well-flled parlor
will be disturbed.
i recent writer, in giving several illus
tratioDs of the lack OF tact, tells of a
lady, who, being a guest, enforced her
refusal to take broiled ham by the re-
mark, II don't think pork Is fit food for
any human stomach
Another lady, being at dinner party,
where the conversatioI turned upon the
authorship of Shakespeare's plays, said,
with a brusqueness which compelled
silence, think the advocates of the
theory that some other person than
Shakespeare wrote the plays attributed
10 him, simply betray their ignorance
and shallowness."
As two of the best educated persons
present believed that some one else than
Shakespeare wrote the plays, the lady's
blunt assertion reused their antagonisms,
and the comfort of the guests was dis
turhed
Are you the wife of old Mr. C--Y
asked lady, OF being introduced to an
other lady, who had married man
much older than herself. The blunt
question embarrassed both tue wife and
the company Yee the lady guilty of
this social blunder, was the principal of
High School.
"What Mrs. b. has just said is not
true" remarked Mrs. A, at a literary
society, as a lady made a statement. The
members were indignant at the blunt as
sertion, and listened with aversion as
Mrs. A. proceeded to show that Mrs. b.
was mistaken, owing to misinforination,
| Yet Mrs. A. who is a woman of culture,
complains that she has few friends, and
cannot be made to see that her lack OF
tact and her blunt way of putting things
seperate her from those whose feelings
she wounds.
A young lady who is anxious to gain
social success must acquire the art OF
touching people gently. A good sales
man is compelled by his business to &C
quire tact. He prides himself on his
ability.to handle carefully the most per
verse of buyers.
The best rule for acquiring tact is the
one given by the Master: Whatsoever
ye would that men should do unto you
even so do We also unto them

Marion's Diplomacy.

One Of the stories which used to slim
ulate the patriotism of American boys
is that of AIarion's inviting a British
officer to dine with him on roasted
potatoes and cold water. The story has
been doubted by certain critical histori-
ans, but DIR. Joseph Johnson, of South
Carolina, say it is substantially true.
He heard it when child from his
father, to whom it was told just after its
occurrence.
. But the story as originally told illus
trated Marion's diplomacy rather than
his poverty and self-denial.
The officer, young man, sensitive,
humane, aud high toned, had been sent,
under a flag of truce. to Marion's camp
to transact some business with the gen
eral. After the business had been com
pleted, the generals aids invited the Of
ficer to dine with them.
He would have had good dinner, If
Marion, seeing his character, had not
determined to make an impression on
his sensitive nature favorable to the
American cause.
The young man, having been invited
to dine with Marion, and having excused
himself to the aids, was provided by his
most Win ulnner OF sweet potatoes
roasted in the ashes of the hearth, and
served on bark platters. The officer
noticed that the general, in peeling his
potatoes, put the skins carefully on one
side of his plate, instead of throwing
them on the ground.
Oscar, the generals servant and foster
brother, waited on them. He was al
ways called "Budde," a corruption of
brother, by Marion, who, after dinner
said to him.
"Budde, bring us something to drink.
Oscar brought geurdfui of water, and
handed it to the officer and then to the
general.
"Budde, bring up Roger, and the gen
erals horse, being led up, was fed with
the potato skins.
The officer saw and was conquered.
He returned to the British camp, and
resigned his commission, saying he
could not fight against men who were SO
conscientious in their opposition TO king
and parliament as to drink nothing but
water, eat nothing but potatoes, and
feed their horses on the skins.
