Education in Egypt.

1t is reported that Egypt is making
great strides in educational progress, and
that the natives arc not slow to appreciate
the advantages of the reorganized Gov
crnmcnt schools. Since Moses went to
school in Egypt, and the University Of
Alexandria was destroyed by Omar, cdu-
cation has never been at SO low an cbb
in that country as during the past few
decades. In 1887 there were only twelve
schools under the Minister OF Public In
str lction, with an attendance OF 1919
pupils, of whom only fifty per cent. paid
fees, and the total receipts were S5O00.
Last year the number of these schools
throughout the country, as far south as
Assuan, open to all races aud creeds, was
forty-seven; the attendance was 1897, OF
whom sixty-two per cent. were paying
pupils, and the receipts reached nearly
el0O, 900. The increase is significant,
however, that all pupils must either
learn English or French, and it is siguid-
can't that whereas IN 1889 only fourteen
per cent. of them selected Eaglish, IN
in 1890 the proportion rose to twenty
three per cent.-Picgyune.

RAISING RuCBARB.

OF MI the garden plants raised in the

But it will not do to set ont q few rnu<
barb plants in poor soil and Leave the

should be kept in 3 Lose, friable condi-

opportunity of observing the great diff
ference in the quantity and quality of

RECIPES.

Griddle Cakes-Three eggs, one-half
teaspoonful of salt, one pint of sour
milk, one teaspoonful OF soda, flour
enough to make batter.
Devlled Chicker-Take off the wings
and legs of fowl, made incisions in them,
fill these cuts with made mustard, and
season highly with salt, white and
cayenne pepper, grill them over clear
fire; serve very dry on warm table
napkin.
Rice Cakcs-One pound of -four, one
pound of ground rice, three teaspoon
fuls of baking powder, one-half pound
of moist sugar, one-quarter pound of
butter, one-quarter pound OF drippings,
one egg, small quantity of grated nut
meg; mix with milk or with cold water,
and bake in quick oven. These are
made into little cakes with the hands.
Plum salad-Any tart plums, wiped
with wet cloth, sliced away from the
stone, arranged iu little heaps, each upon
fresh, crisp lettuce leaf and served
with a tablespoonful of mayonnaise salad
dressing on each; the tart, fresh flavor
of the pluns blends admirably with the
smooth, equal taste of the mayonnaise; !;
as a breakfast salad, or wi b broiled
birds or chicken, nothing of Its kind cx-
GELS it.
Icing for Cakes-Beat the whites of
two eggs till they are very dry, then add
gradually ten ounces of pulverized white
sugar. Dredge -four over the top of the
cake and wipe it off, to make the icing
adhere. Put it over with broad.
bladed knife; it should be put on quite
thick. When this coating is dry, dilute
the remainder of the icing oa your dish
with little rose-water, and put another
coating over the top, which will have a
glossy appearance.
Frothed Eggs-Separate the eggs
carefully without breaking the yolks;
beat the whites until they are very fine
and stiff. Then arrange them neatly in
small custarl cups, making up place
in the centre to hold the yolks. Slip
one yolk carefully into the centre Of each
cup, stand the cups In pan OF boiling
water, and cook in the oven for about
two minutes. Dust them with salt and
pepper, and put small piece OF butter
on each one and serve immediately.
Veal Croquettes-Chop the veal fiae.
Mix one teaspoontul (or little more) of
flour with half a cup of sweet milk.
Melt piece of butter the size of au egg
and stir the other ingredients into it.
Let it come to boil. Mix this thor
oughly with the meat and form into
small fiat balls. Place upon plates, dust
o little pepper and salt over them and
let stand over night. Then beat one egg
till very light, dip the balls first into
this, then into cracker crumbs, and Try
till brown in hot lard.

WASHING BLANKETS.

a good housewife vouches for the fol-
lowing as an excellent way to wash
blankets: Soak the blankets for ten
minutes in lukewarm water before wash
ing; have ready some soft soap or good
yellow soap sliced thin and boiled to a
jelly in a little water, allowing one
pound to four blankets; wiring them out
of the first water, lay them in this and
stir them about for some time, then leave
them another ten minutes to soak. After
the soaking rub each thoroughly in every
part, wiring out and shake we'll; unless
exceptionally dirty they will not re-
quire another washing, but should be
rinsed in soft warm water, and dried In
a good wind -Brooklyn Citizen.

PoACHED EGGS.

To poach eggs take a wide, fiat stew
pan and put into it one quart of water,
one cupful of vinegar, one tablespoonful
of salt; when it comes to a boil. open
your eggs one by one into cup, drop
them into the boiling water; but not
more than two or three at time. Take a
spoon, and try to keep each egg in shape,
by pushing the whites toward the yolk.
As soon as the whites are firm, take out
the eggs carefully with a skinner.
Place each on a slice of buttored toast.
Now, if you have tomato sauce at
hand, and pour it around the eggs and
toast, you will have a most delicious
dish to serve. But you may also pour
hot milk, in which some butter has been
melted, over the toast, and, of course,
omit the tomato sauce.-Nev York 1ri-
buae.

JELLY OF RHUBARB.

To make jelly of rhubarb, wash, but
do not peel, pound of pink rhubarb,
which cut into pieces an inch long and
stew gently until the juice is drawn,
then add half a pound of loaf sugar and
stew again until tender. Rub the rhu-
barb through sieve, and afterward boil
until it becomes sirup-like. Let this get
cold, when to three gills of it add half
an ounce of gelatine, soaked and dis
solved in a gill of water. When on the
point of setting, put the jelly into a
mold. Serve with custard favored with
extract of almonds. This jelly ought to
be delicate pink color, which, if it is
desired to heighten, few drops of rose
coloring may be added.-Mc~ Orleans

The New South.

Northern farmers were once apt to
pity their Southern brethren for their
neglect of good work, diversity of crops
and other needs of good farming. But
oil this has changed materially. There
are some of the finest, pure-bred herds of
cattle in the South; fodder crops are be-
ing grown; dairying is rapidly develop
ing; the average product of crops is
doubling and trebling; Southern farmers
are out of debt to large extent, and
wealth is accumulating in the farmers
hands. The New South is seen not only
in the factories, the mines and the
workshop but in the blooming cotton
fields; the green clover meadows, pure
bred COWS, silos, and the greatly in
creased products of the fields. -Ameri-

WORDS OF WISDOM.
What fools other men are.


The true reward of work we'll done is
the having done It.
Doing good is the only certainly happy
action of mans life.
Every man is trying to see how much
hccan get for his little.
When man fights In his mind, he al
ways comes out victorious.
Whose extingulshes in man one feel.
ing of benevolence partly kills him.
The trouble is that so few men are as
good as they think their nighbors should
be.
The time spent in mourning for the
dead might be used in making the living
happy.
A mans opinion of people is as much
a test of his character as peoples opinion
Of him.
A mans idea of being good to wo-
an IS tc give her opportunities to be
good to him.
All men are alike in one particular;
the most humble believe there is kick
coming to him.
A man will wait ten years to get even /;
a woman will forget that you offended
her in ten minutes.
Every man occasionally says: "Spare
no expense; I care nothing for money!"
but none of them ever mean it.
When YOU see q man who has the
same opinion he had in early life, it is q
sign that he is fool, and cannot learn.
As the soil, however rich it may be-,
cannot be productive without culture so
the mind without cultivation can never
produce good fruit.
Look upon the bright side of your
condition; then your discontents will
dispcrse. Pore not upon your losses, but
recount your mercies.
Don't compare girls cheek to the
down on peach if you want to be COM
plimentary. If there is anything disa.
greeable to get on your lips, it is peach
down.
What greater thing is there for two
human souls than to feel .hat they arc
joined for life, to strengthen each othe,
in labor, to rest on each other in sorrow,
to minister to each other in pain, to be
one with each other in silent, unspeak-
able memories at the moment of the last
parting.

Big Pay Per Line.

Alexander Dumas was much addicted
to boasting of the high fees he received
Tor his articles.
"That Is very fair, no doubt" once
said stranger to him at party. "How
much was the highest fee you ever gots"
"Ten francs (S0 line," replied Du-
mas.
"Bah! that is nothing" said the gen.
tleman. II get about half million
francs ($100, ,O00) for linc."

incrcdulous smile at the apparently out
rageous piece of brsg. "Pray, what ore

TRY 1T.

We want large number of our read
ers to try the experiment of sowing win
ter rye in their cornields just aftor the
last going through with the cultivator,
and report next spring what they think
of it. 1t is no experiment with num-
Der of leading dairymeu that we know.
They claim that it pays big profit on
the investment, as it gives fresh pastur-
age the latest in the fall and the earliest
in the spring. One party informed us
the other day that during the high price
of butter in April he got enough out of
his early rye to more than twice pay the
t.pense of sowing it. Try it, is the ad-
vice of Hoard's Dairyman.

DESTROYING CUT WORMS.

Professor J. L. Budd, IN the Des
Moines Register, attests the value of fall
blowing in killing the cut-worms. He
says: 1--WE have an object lesson at
this time of much interest and value.
We prepared ground last fall for plant
ing our cherry and plum pits by plow-
ing we'll about the last of September and
again in November. The prepared
ground was not large enough for all the
seeds, and about half bushel of the
plum seeds were planted on ground oc-
cupied last summc, and fall with crop
of mangles, rutabagas and cabbage, and
net plowed until spring. On this
ground the plants came up quite as
thickly as on the fall-plowed ground,
but at this time there arc not 100 plants
to the row, and these are going from
hour to hour. The soil is so full of
worms that no possibility of saving the
plants exists. On the fall-plowed
ground scarcely plant of the plum or
cherry has been cut off. Instead, after
careful inspection only found two plants
ruined, and these were in the outside
rows. Our root gratis of cherry, plum,
pear and apple are mostly on ground
plowed late in the fall, turning under
a crop of rye sowed the last of August
Not a sign of cut-worms is found ON
this ground. On the other hand, every
thing put out on land unplowed in the
fall has baen seriously injured or totally
ruined by the different species of cut
worms. SO far as known to the writer
the fall blowing at proper time is the
only safe and practicable method OF
eradicating these pests"

quality, but I do not know the name OF
either, seedsmen quote the Linneas as
one of the best. 1t takes so long to get
producing plants from the seed that the
best way is to propagate by roots set
deep enough to have the crowns we'll
covered. As the plants increase in size
the roots may be suodividcd to make
other hills. Plants from the seed will
not always prove the same variety as the
parent stalk.-NeU York World.

How to Cut Glass Bottles.

Professor William Thompson gives the
following method of cutting glass tubes
and bottles: Two strips Of thick blot
ting paper are wetted and wrapped
round the tube or bottle as bands. They
should be kept quarter to three .eighths
of an inch apart for tubes an inch or so in
diameter. A fine fame, two or three
inches long, is then allowed to play on
the glass in the gap between. while the
vessel is slowly revolved. In less than q

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
FARM AND GARDEN.
ROUGH FORAGE.

Bulky food, such as straw, corn fod-
der and coarse hay, is not always of value
solely on account OF the nutrition it con-
tains, but sometimes it affords COM
plete change of diet, and because it dis
tends the stomach and aids digestion.
If liberal supply of grain is given there
is no danger in feeding coarse foods to
any kind of stock, aad by thus utilizing
the straw and fodder great saving of
hay may be effected. Coarse foods
should especially have place in the
economical feeding of cattle and sheep.

Growth of London.

During many years there has been an
annual addition to the number of houses
in London of about II, 900, or an average
of something like 800 month. There
has been in long time little variation in
the total annual increase. The increase
for the year ending March 1 was 1,097.
The weather seems to make little differ
ence with the building trade. The total
number of houses in London on the 1st
of March was 7l,413, occupied by q
population which the latest estimates set
down at something over $780, ,000.-

Wheat Growing From q Boys Head.

A grain of wheat has sprouted in the
forehead of fve.year. boy.
On May Is, little Thomas Stretch, the
son of miller Reeve A. Stretch, Of Lower
Alloway Creek township, was quite
seriously injured by being caught in a
belt at the mill, and would have been
killed but for the promptness of his
father in stopping the machinery. He
has now almost recovered from the effects
of the accident, but few days ago
dark spot was noticed over his eye. 1t
was carefully opened with lance and
was found to be grain of wheat which
was sprouted.
The grain was probably forced under
the skin when his head struck q bin
while be was being whirled around the
shaft.-Philadelphia Press.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
CLEAN IRONS.

Clean irons are one of the marks Of q
good housekeeper. Irons should be
thoroughly scrubbed in hot suds quite
often, wiped off and put on the hot
stove at once, or they will rust. A piece
of beeswax is good to rub ones irons
with if they become rough, or a little
lard in thick, soft cloth. Some IRON
ers like kerosene. Darupen cloth with
kerosene and rub the iron hard with it.
Kerosene is also good to clean the kitch-
en- stove and stove-pipes-just little on
a rag and rub hard. -Chicaqo NeuS.
