illustrative of Racial Impulses.

An Bnglishman, an Irishman and a
scotchman, making a tour around the
city a short time since, were observed
looking through a confectioner's window
at a beautiful young woman serving in
the shop. "Oh!" exclaimed Mr.. Pat

may look at her conveniently, and have

The Historic Scroll of Egypt.

The chronicles of Egypt are written on
a scroll of such vast proportions that we
often fail to realize them as a continuous
record. Egypt is referred to as
Ptolemaic, Roman, Arab, ETC., as if the
racial characteristics changed with the
various dynasties. But the ancient races
the veritable descendants of the builders
of the pyramids, still exists. Compare
the Sheikh-el-beled of the Ghizeh
Museum, the small basalt head lately ac-
quired by the Louvre, and the Scribe
of the same collection, with the crowd
at the weekly market of any Nile town,
and the resemblance is u~nmistakable.
The types are identical. Aud, more
over, there are no signs of physical de-
generation in these soIidly-built fella-
heen; while, on the other hand, the
Arabs and Turks of the cities display all
indications associated with efete and
WORKOUT races. In circumstances like
these, who can doubt that when despotic
government is abrogated, as it is at
present, the more virile and tenacious
stock will again assert its ascendencya
The historians of ancient Egypt record
n gap of more than five hundred years
between the twelfth and eighteenth
dynastles, during which the Hyksos or
Shepherd Kings ruled at Memphis. In
modern times Egypt has had her Hyksos
period, which has lasted from the date
OF the Arab invasion until our own day
She fnds herself after these twelve
centuries Of oppression under the pro-
lection OF q people that has not unsuc-
cessfuIly COPIED with the evils of misrule
in other parts Of the East Who shall
say what lies hidden In the womb Of the
futureETas Nineteenth Century.

Frazer Among the MongoIs.

On the tops of all the houses were little
prayer wheels turned by the force of the
wind, a simple arrangement like an ane,

air and so keeping them in motion. In
the hands of most of the old men and
women were bronze or brass prayer

IS THE MOLE 4 NUISANCE .

There are many people who consider
moles a nuisance and endeavor in every
way to get rid of them, in the belief that
they destroy vegetables, eat seeds and
planted grains, and in many ways damage
VIZ crops, besides making gardens and
sFouEds unsighty by their borrowings.
Others, while admitting the undesirable
ness Of their backgrounds roads, believe
nay do more good than harm in the de-
a~aEuction of worms, bugs, etc, that
weuld more ~injuriously abound were it

heretofore said in the World that he has

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

AIM AND VAhDEN NOYEHs
Fowls need water in the winter.
Have the team shod well or not ali all.
For a sleeping place dry soil is prefer
able to boards.
Cover tender shrubs with barrels
stuffed with leaves.
Always breed from a stallion that will
improve your stock.
Onions and fruits keep better in shall
low bins than in heaps.
AS far as possible keep birds of a size
and disposition together.
A few bruised apples will sooner or
later spoil the whole barrel.
If you let the calf become stunted we
shall have a ttstunted cow"
Have you got everything in the best
possible condition for winter2
All lilies are benefited by a heavy coat
Of leaves held in place with brush.
Il is again announced that you can
breed sex at will with certainty-on
paper.
Ii o than fifty fowls are kept, they
should have more than one homestead or
roost.
A few hens, with the care usually
given, will give more eggs in proportion
than a large number.
Hard work is not so apt to injure a
horse as the failure to receive proper at
tention after the work.
II the combs should become frosted,
bathing in sweet oil will relieve and pre-
serve the looks somewhat.
1t is the freezing and thawing that is
injurious to pansies and strawberries.
Cover them to prevent this.
For eggs and chicks combined the
Langhans, Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes,
and Brahams are excellent.
The colt raised in a stall or close lot is
apt to be more awkward and soft than
one given to plenty Ut room.
Never try to keep milk at a low tenn
perature by keeping the COW in a low
temperature. 1t will not work.
Do not smoke when about the milk and
butter. Customers do not like TO take
the aroma of tobacco in that way.
Violets and pansies are heaved out by
the frost, and need a light covering of
leaves, evergreen boughs or litter.
Do you recommend winter dairying?
asks q correspondent. Yes, if the dairy
MAJ will give it the proper attention.
Mahonias, rhododendrons and yuccas
should be protected with leaves, held in
place BY evergreen boughs or fine brush.
Beets, carrots, turnips and parsnips
best be buried in soil in the cellar for
home use. Large quantities may be
pitted.
If there are burrs in your corn-ield or
pasture it won't pay to turn the sheep in
there to pick. 1t will pick the price of
the wool at shearing time.
Hollyhocks should be covered with
sod, set roof-like on each side; or with
a forkful of coarse manure. Beware of
smothering and rotting them.
When COWS fail to breed there may be
q cause that can be removed, but the
only general advice that can be given in
such cases is to keep the system vigor-
U
In raising poultry for profit you must
first consider the surrounding circum-
stances, the amount of capital to invest,
the space of ground to be occupied, and
the amount Of help available.
Every dairy ought to be scientifically
conducted or not conducted at all. This
letting a dairy run itself would seem to
indicate that farming was SO profitable
that we did not know what to do with
our money.

OBJECTIONS TO OPEN CT
Open bitches should only be made
where absolutely necessary. The reason
S obvious: a tile drain will generally
cost but little if any more than a properly
constructed open ditch with sufficiently
slopipg banks. Fields can be cultivated,
hsnling done in less time and with less
Inconvenience, beside the additional
ground to cultivate, which would be
waste land il the ditch were left open.
There Is q constant demand for the deep
sning and widening Of bitches. and this
demand win continue until their bottoms
are sunk lew enough not to obstruct the
discharge of the tile drains. The bottom
pf IN open ditch should be at least two
het below the necessary depth of tile
trains, to prevent the tile from being
SLED up and obstructed by the ever-ac-
stimulating sediment in the bottom.
Probably the best way to treat this de-
pusit Of sediment would be to make bank
slopes not to exceed two to one, or still
latter, which will greatly reduce the
eOst Of cleaning out the ditch and keep
ms y in repair, by blowing and scrap
lRg out the deposit and spreading it on
The adjacent land. The above is from
