ANCIENT EJRlALS

1t Was Customary to Cover the Heads md
Bodies With Sheets of God.
Lawrence Hutton in Harpers Maya
zine for September: Although there
is no mention of deathmaSkS in the
works of Homer. or in any of the later
classics, recent explorers have salts
fed themselves that in the early bur-
ials of all nations it was the custom 10
cover the heads and bodies of the dead
with sheets of gold so pliahle that
they took the impress of the fOrms
and not infrequently, when in the
course of centuries the Gmbalmed flesh
had shrivelled or fallen away, the gold
retained the exact cast of the features
Schliemann found a number of bodies
covered with large masks of gold
plate in repOusse-work,' several of
which have been reproduced by means
Of engraving in his Mycenae; and he
asserts that there can be no doubt
whatever that each one of these rep
rescntS the likeness Of the deceased
person whose face it covered.
When Hamlet said that Alexander
died, Alexander was buried, Alexander
teturneth to dust, he overlooked the
fact that AleXanderS dust, instead of
being converted into loan to stop q
beer-barrel, was preserved from cor
ruptiOn by the process of embalming
and from external injury by being
caSed in the most precious of metals
Pettigrew, in his History of Egyptian
MummieS says of the death-maSk of
Alexander that at was a sort of chase
work, and of such a nature that il
could be applied so closely to the skin
as to preserve not only the form OF
the body, but also to give the express
sion of the features to the cOunten-~
ance." He does not quote his authority
for this statement. but it is unQues-
tiOnably derived from the account OF
the death and burial of Alexander
written by DiOdOruS SiculuS, who sad:
"And first a coffin of beaten gold was
provided, so wrought by the hammer
as to answer to the proportions Of the
body; it was half filled with aromatic
Spices which served as well to dplighe
the sense as to prevent the body from
putrefactiOn." Then follows n descrip-
ton of the funeral chariot and Of the
long line of march from Babylon to,
Alexandria, where Augustus Caesar saw
the tomb three hundred years later:
but there is 10 reference to q mask
of AleXander's face in gold.
The value of a plaster cast as a Dor
trait of the dead or living face can
not for moment be questioned. 10
must Of necessity be absolutely true to,
nature. 1t cannot fiatter; it cannot
caricature. Tt shows the subject az fls
was, or is. not only as others saw him,
in the actual flesh, but as he saw him
self. And in the case of the death
mask particularly, it shows the sui
ject often as he permitted no one but
himself to see himself. He dose not
pose; he does not ''try to look pleas
ant" In his mask he is seen, as it
were, with his mask off!

Foot Rot in sheen,

The wet weather this summer, in
many places where sheep are now
kept for the first time in years, IS
causing complaints of food rot It is
a contagious disease, and on land
where diseased sheep have pastured
or been folded, the poisonous germs
of disease are left on grass and weeds,
and infest new sheep that we put in
to replace those diseased. 1t is always
necessary, therefore, to change pas
lures whenever this disease appears.
1t may be exter1ninated by applying
blue vitriol to the foot. This kills the
disease, and if the pasture is changed
the sheep will be all right Most Of
the prairie land is too low and wet
for sheep pasture in ordinary recent
years. There should always be some
elevation in a sheep pasture Most of
the time the flock will be found on
higher ground during the day time
and always at night.

Our Accountability.

Miss Kate Douglas in Scribner: The
parent whose sole answer to criticism
or .remOnstrance is, 81 have a right to

is the only impossible parent His
moral integument is too thick to be
pierced with any shaft, however keen.
To him we can only say, as Jacques
did to Orlando, God be with you;
let's meet as little as we can"
But most of us dare not take this
ground. We may not philosophize or
formulate, we may not live up to QUIZ
theories, but we feel in greater or less
degree the responsibility of calling a
human being hither, and the necessity
of guarding and guiding, in one way
or another, that which owes it's being
to U.s.
We should all agree if put to the
vote that a child has a right to be well
born. That was a trenchant speech Of
Henry Ward beecher on the subject of
icing born again; that if he could be
born right the first time he'd take his
chances on the second. Hereditary

tary virtue is a patent of innate no
bility which far outshines the blazonry

Over the unborn our power is almost
that of God, and our responsibility,
like His toward US; as we acquit our
selves toward them, so le. Him deal
with us.
Why should we be astonished at the
warped, cold, unhappy, suspicious nat
ures we see about US, when we reflect
upon the number of unwished-for IN
welcomed children in the world; chill
dren who at best were never loved
until they were seen and known, and
often grudged their being from the

varieties we will name the June grass
or Kentucky blue grass, as very early

the Rhode Island bent grass. For later
sorts the white clover should not be

meadow fescue and meadow foxtal
should also go in, along with red top,

as many seedsmen do not have them

make it desirable to drop some of them
and to substitute others, as using Oa5
grass or rye grass and the crested
dog tail grass upon very dry sells, or
where sheep are to be pastured. in
stead of some of those named above
for moist soils. We have not named
the red or crimson clover, because we
should prefer to SOW the seed of that
in the spring very early, and allow
the melting snow or spring rains 10
carry it down among the roots of tho
other, and because if fall soWn. cattle,
when they get to it, are apt to pull
it up instead of biting it off, or gnaw
it so closely that it winter-kills. And
by the way, if cattle cannot be kept
off of it this fall it may be an advant
age to SOW little rye or a mixture of
oats and barley for them to feed upon
this fall, which will protect the grass

by their roots keep the cattle from
poaching up the ground to some ex-
tent. The mistake of getting on too
much seed may cost an extra DOLL,
but getting on too little seed may cost
a great many dollars worth of feed
while the pasture lasts.

Disease Among turkeys.

During later years an obscure dis
ease has prevailed to such an extent
among the turkeys of Rhode Island as
not only to cause serious loss to OWL
ers, but, according to the annual re.
port of the station of that state, to
threaten the slow, but not the less GER
tain, determination of this source of
income. The disease appears about
the head of the turkey as a small spot
of discoloration; this spreads rapidly
to adjacent parts, and in a few days
the bird dies. The general belief
among owners is that the disease is
infectious; but whether this is true is
question that requires more evidence
for it's answering.

Strawberry plants.

1t is not yet too late to set straw
berry plants if good strong runners
are selected. The ground must now be
in good condition. Although they are
set on a large scale with a dibble, the
roots being all thrust into the hole,
we much prefer making a small mound
of loose earth as large as half a goose
egg over which the roots can be spread
and then the balance of the hole filled
and the earth well pressed about the
roots. Success depends often on the

Ashes for Pics.

Corn is not easy of digestion, and
hogs fed on it easily becomes cloyed.
A dose of hardwood ashes, and still
better if ashes are made from corn
cob, restores their appetite and keeps
them in thrifty condition. This, how
ever, is only to be recommended for
fattening pork, as the ashes, like the
soda and baking powders used for
making biscuit, is really injurious to
digestion in the long run. With hogs
that are fattening, the digestive organs
a year hence are matters of minor i'm
pOrtance.
