In Bulak. suburb of Cairo, is the national
museum of Egyptian antiquities, founded
about thirty years ago by a Frenehman CON-
monty known as Mariette Bey. One depart
ment is devoted to an interesting collection of
specimens of plants which have been found in
the sepulchral monuments OF that country.
1t is remarkable that, though the botanical
collection is large, and contains many varities,
every plants still to be found growing in the
valley of the Nile. Moreover, the closest ex-
animation fails to reveal the slightest differ
ence between the plants that hourished fifty
centuries ago and those which the traveller sees
to-day on the banks of the river.
The very flowers which the boy Moses or the
children of Joseph picked still bloom I'M

here blue sprays of lsrkspur, which loving
hands laid upon the bodies of those who died
a thousand years before Abraham and Sarah
went down into Egypt.

Impure Air In Stables.

Now that horses will be stabbed at night,
or should be, the most perfect cleanliness
should be observed. The floors, if of wood.
should be frequently drenched with water,
and then sprlnkled with Underground
gypsum (plaster), by which the strong,
pungent odor common TO stables will be
neutralized and absorbed. This strong
odor of ammonia, which often pains the
eyes and nostrils OF a man, is exceedingly
injurious to horses. 1t rots leather and
corTodes varnish, and what must be its eff
feet on the eyes and lungs of the horses
confined in it during whole nights? Foul
air promotes CHAMBERS, farcy, blindness, in
fuenza (epizootic), pneumonia, heaves, all
common diseases of horses; and the acrid
manure in which horses are compelled to
stand causes not only this injurious vapor,
but rots the hoofs and irritates the skin.

THE AUTUMN ON THE FARM.
SELECTING THE PROPER sEED-coRN.
Impure Air In the Stables-Wcrth Readi &
Twice-October and Fall Farm Point
ers-some Good Recipes For
Sweets and Preserves.

Select seed corn for uniformity. Keep
in mind the location, the nature OF the
soil, climate and number of days required
for maturity, and choose a strain suited to
the particular situation. In most cases
better resultsare possible from homegrown
seed than will follow buying from distant
scotsman. Clayey uplands require shall
low-grained varieties, with slender cob,
of good length. Bottom lands will mature
deep-grained varieties, with thick cob, and
kernels less finty. Choose a strain which
is adapted to the location, and yields the
best and most shapely ears, and endeavor
to improve it each year by selecting the
best for seed.
The work of securing seed corn should
really begin at planting time. Let small
plot of the best ground of the entire area for
the corn crOpbe planted early and receive a
little extra cultivation. The corn will
ripen early, and as soon as the kernels are
sufficiently hardened, it should be cut and
set up in small shocks. This will allow
the corn to dry rapidly. Husk the entire
plot before there is any possibility OF an
autumn freeze. While hauling to the
crib, select from the entire lot such ears as
approach the ideal corn. This will be an
easy task when the selection in confined to
such small area. 1t is not safe to depend
upon the air and sunshine to dry the
corn thoroughly, but it is better TO place
the seed corn where it will secure artificial
heat and dry it until no freezing will
damage it. 1t is now ready to be stored
for the winter.
The best place is some unused closet in
the dwelling, where the temperature does
not fall very low, and the air is free from
moisture. In early days the corn strung
over the mantelpiece in the pioneer cabin
never failed to terminate. Any dry place,
free from vermin, and where the tempera-
ture is never very low, will likely do for
this purpose. The method followed by
those who select the seed-corn by passing
at random through the fields while the
stalks are standing does not always secure
the very best ears for seed, which is GER
tainly the most important part in the inn
provement of the strain. Furthermore,
many depend upon the atmosphere to dry
the seed. Last fall there was but little
drying weather on account of the long
continued rainfall as a consequence there
was a widespread complaint last spring
about poor seed-slowness in termination.

1re l take my ever-ready pen for the
purpose of writing for the first time to
our newly-found page, for deem it my
duty to lend helping hand for the noble
work, and while deem it my duty, also
think il the duty of all the members to do
the same. Let us through the silent
medium OF the pen give our thoughts on
subjects of general interest and converse
with each other. The aim of the II l.. G.
is as noble as could be described by the
most noted author. BY communicating
and conversing with each other we mold
our characters and strengthen our moral
faculties. Is not a moral person good
citizen and are not good citizens

nation? Some may quote scripture against
the moral man, but / say that a moral

A Plea For a Wholesome and Practical
Conduct of Living.
Ny DEAR II. L. c. FRIENDs-It is with
great deal of pleasure that l once more ad-
dress you. How good it is to feel that we
are again on the right road, free from trials
and tribulations from which we have suf-
fered so much. 1t was very painful to
me to believe the H. L. G.. dead, as was
was spoken Of, but now that we are resur-
rected we shouldrejoice and thank all who
so nobly stood by the club. I presume
every one has the privilege to choose their
own subject to write upon. / will say
few words on Character"
Character is one of the greatest
motive powers in the world. In
its noblest embcdiments it exempli-
fies human nature in its highest
forms, for it exhibits man at his best.
There are trying and perilous circum-
stances IN life which show how valuable
and important good character is. 1t is a
strong and sure staff of support when
everything else fails. Character is power,
character is influence, and he who has
character, though he may have nothing else,
has the means of being eminently useful,
not only TO his immediate friends, but to
society. 10 Lllt VI OOu anu W Iuc
world. There is a difference between char
acter and reputation. Character is what a
man Is; reputation is what he is thought
10 be. Most persons are more anxious
about their reputation than they are about
their character This is not right. While
every one should endeavor to maintain a
good reputation, be or she should especial
" labor TO possess a good character. Our
true happiness depends not so much on
what is thought OF US by others as on what
we really are in ourselves. Sum il up as
we viii, character is the great desideratum
OF human life. This truth is sublime in its
simplicity, and powerful in its beauty, is
the highest lesson of religion, the first that
youth should learn and the last that age
should forget
Before close Iwish to thank the editor
for so kindly giving US space in his paper

he live is the wish of "WMMINA."

say that all moral persons are Christians,
but we must first be moral before we are
Christians; hence it is a step in that di-
rection. As a simple plan to organize,
let us encourage all we can to join the
club. Let us send in their names. Some
would join in this way where they would
not otherwise. Let us by and by raise a
relief fund, when we get fully organized.
A small amount from each member would
be sufficient and we would not miss it !;
and then in case that member needs
help or there needs to be fund raised for
some good work, we can be in position to
lend our aid, and thus gain a reputation
for our little band that will carry us
through. We should always present the

least as much financial wisdom.
Pay cash, if you have to borrow money
to do it. The banker will charge you less
than the merchant for credit.
Good farming consists as much in over
coming adverse circumstances as in i'm
proving fully favorable opportunities.
On an average, the man with the fewest
clods in the field in the fall has the most
wheat in the field the next summer.
Let the hogs clean up the waste apples
and peaches under the trees, and there
will be fewer waste fruits next year.
There WI D also be better hogs this year.
You cannotincrease your products with
out increasing your expenses; but produe-
ton increases at fasterrate than expenses
increase. Herein is the greater part of
good farming.

Our eyes are aching with unshed tears,
With dread look 10 the coming years.
All Many's the time we sigh.
Many's the time, when our hearts are sore,
We long for death and the other shore;
With streaming eyes and hands outspread
We wish from our hearts that we we're dead"
All Many's the time we CRY.
Many's the time in solitude
Over our troubles We sit and brood;
We have griefs and burdens no one share,
But when alone give way TO despair.
All Many's the grief we bear.

And look In the faces of those we meet;
But we little dream what some lives hold
As we pass them by, the young and old.
All Many's the grief we meet.

That never such woe was known. before;

And smile though writhing in agony.

With hurrying pace we move along,
To secure the fancied prize;
We join the merry, festive throng
With cheerful, laughing eyes.
We goad ourselves with fettered chains,
Too eager we are spurning
All that's good; TO direful pains,
Which cause us heaviest burning.
We borrow trouble, with per cent,
We murder friendship vainly,
And live in state of discomfort
Selfshness caused it mainly.
This is the way that gold leads men,
And leads them 20 destruction;
And 20, alas the bitter end,

But happiness is better;

Il m sorry" said the small criminal, but
I've been to the circus and party this

putting pennies into toy savings bank

his mother caught him in the act of paint
ing his black all over with ladies' shoe
