fact that according to statistics lately

One hundred and fifty Egyptians

savage ferocity, but in harmony with
the character of barbarians, who know
little and care less for the civilized
warfare of Christian nations. But
what can be said of Admiral Ccurbet,

ordered that no mercy be shown to the

An illustration OF the idea which
people OF q certain class have of sani-
tary operations is to be found in an
occurrences which took place in New
York a short time ago. According to
the Sanitary Engineer, a respectable
colored woman applied to the judge Of
n OF the courts for protection from
stwo devils" who had bewitched her.
She described the devils as appearing
like white men, one of them carrying a
yellow vallse, and the other a red ne.
They cast their eyes upon her in q sim
sitter manner. so that she was alarmed,
and went aftera charm to avert the evil
influence. She touched them with the
charm as an exorcism. but they only
laughed, and opening the valises too (
out a powder which they spripkled
about the door. Soma Of the powder
fell upon her, and she had a return az
the horrible pains which the incanta-
lions Of colored people had brought upon
her on another occasion. The judge,
on inquiring further into this extra
ordinary story, ascertained that the
devils" were agents OF the Board of
Health, engaged in d~lsinfecting the
premises; but the prospect of being
able to make the victim Of their en-
chantments comprehend their mission
seemed rather remote, and he contented
himself with advising her to remove
her family to another tenement, and to
call on him again II the witches still
troubled her. r,a,'

were two instruments. The operator,
a young man, was working vigorously

JAPANESE PANELs.-Japanese silk
gauze panels are mounted in two ways
for wall decoration. One way Is to line
the panel with u%nbleached muslin, al
lowing the muslin TO be several inches
longer at top and bottom than the
gauze; then apply a border Of plush,
using a herring bone, feather or coach
ing stitch on silk the color Of the plush
border. Garnet, olive, peacock blue or
bronze-colored plushes are handsome
for borders. Cord the edges IN both
sides with a rich silk cord Of the color
of the bord95! B20 reed or piece Of
stiff whalefi6ne under a strip Of tape
near the upper edge at the back, and
hang by silk cord, with a pair Of tsssels.
Sew a weight in each of the lower cor
ners of the plush border. A simpler
and more Enthusiastically japanese
way is to line with ~unbleached thin
muslin, as described, and to fasten in
neatly a bamboo cane at tie top and
bottom, and suspend the Ianel by Q
silken cord. The bamboo may be gilded
if preferred. The object of lining with
~unbleached muslin is to throw out or
show with more briiliancy of effect the
painted decoration.

SAVE all the manure. A quarter of
a century ago many Western farmers
dumped their manure into the rivers,
not supposing that manure or fertiliz-
ers Is now being discussed as well as
the methods of restoring fertility.
CORN, clover and oiher crops should
be allowed to pass the succulent stage
and come nearly to maturity before
putting them in the silo, Thus they
contain the most nulriment and the
smallest per cent. of water.
ONE mistake which is made by many
breeders of Jerseys is to allow them
to breed too young, and J. think this
has done much to reduce their size.
