The Pumps of the Egvptian.

A representative piece of mechanism
occurs frequently ON the sculptures of
early Egypt. 1t has the appearance of
and is generally believed to be that of a
portable pump. The hydraulic screw is
also attributed to this people, but their
main reliance seems always to have been
the Shadoof. seen everywhere along the
banks of the Nile, an invention so SIM
pie and so well adapted to their needs
that it remains today substantially the
same as it has through all the centuries
since history began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China, an invention the
origin of which antedates the Christian
era. This simple machine, which seems
never to have been improved upon, is in
such common use that every agricultural
laborer is in possession of one. Where
irrigation is conducted on q larger scale
the chain pump is made proportionately
larger and moved by very simple tread
wheel, and still larger ones are operated
by yoking buffalo or other animal to a
suitable driving machine.

fore the Christian era certain applica-
tions of fire to vessels containing water,

Greece and Rome, but their knowledge
seems never to have been turned into
any channel of secular usefulness.-En-

Rich Sap From Maple Trees.

The more uneven, rocky and ledgy the
land and the drier the soil. except where
cold springs abound, the better are the
products of the maple. Trees standing
in or near cold springs will discharge the
most and the sweetest sap. L am acquaint-
ed with one tree standing by spring,
seven quarts of whose sap will make a
pound of nice white sugar. The rich
ness of this sap will be realized when it
is remembered that it takes 16 quarts of
average sap to make pound. The black
maple is the richest for sap of any vari-
ETY.. Our poorest sugar orchards give
us about two pounds of sugar to the
tree, while our best ones yield five and
six pounds tree. Ihave heard of a few
extra orchards yielding Z. 8 and IL
pounds to the tree, and one extraordi-
nary one chat has yielded l6 pounds to a
tree. The quantity Of sugar that can
be made from single trees in one season
of six weeks at most will depend on
many circumstances.
The more spouts put into tree the
more sap is obtained and the more sugar
is made. From the tree already referred
to as standing near cold spring there
were made 304 pounds in one season
with two spouts, which emptied into the
same tub. They were set in holes bored
II inches deep with three-eighths bit.
Another tree have known of yielded 81

Vote the Republican Ticket.

The Republican party has always
stood for protection to American indus
tries and American workingmen against
unfair competition with the pauper Ia
Dor of Europe. 1t stands for honest
money, giving to silver full legal tender
power. but ever seeping in view the
full face value and stability of our cur
rency. 1t stands for the right of every
citizen, white or black. to cast one vote,
and have that vote counted as cast 1t
believes that the Constitution of the
United States means the same in Mis-
sissippi that it does in Ohio. 1t believes
in just and fair pensions granted with
the liberality that this Nation can
so well afford, and. as a party, it pro-
tests against the unfair, unpatriotic
and ungrateful attitude of the present
Democratic Administration toward ex-
Union soldiers. 1t welcomes the de-
serving and Industrious poor of foreign
nations, but it opposes the vicious and
criminal, and cnrict laborer, or his
wares, from wharever. country or cline
they may come. 1t is the patriotic
party. and should have the support of
every patriotic citizen.

A DREAM.

! d. eamt that over the winter world
The winter winds were signing,
And into the orioles empty nests
The flakes of snow were flying.
The vines along the garden wall
With crystal ice were cleaning,
And in the garden dull and bare
The summer flowers were dreaming.
The snow lay deep over withered grass.
The skies were cold and gray.
And slowly the dreary night came on
To end the weary day.
woke. High up in the orchard boughs
A hundred birds were singing,
And in the birch trees pleasant shade
The orioles nests were swinging.
Along the river, tall and green.
saw the rushes growing,
And daisy petals white as snow
Among the grasses showing.
The flowers held the sunshine bright,
The hreezes were at play,
And swiftly the dreamy night came on
To end the happy day.

Locusts Devouring Eocusts.

In the summer of 1888, in which the
excessive heat and drought had brought
about the nearly entire disappearance OF
vegetation in good part of the country
and more particularly in the broken
country of Banda Oriental, 1 had occa-
sion to make journey from San Jose to
Mercedes. At one place, Las Piedras,
at which the diligence stopped, 1 noticed
great numbers of locusts of the species
Pezotettix vittiger, Pezotettix maculi-
pepnis and Pezotettix arrogans, which
covered the ground and rocks.
My attention was attracted by the
fact of seeing around one locust a mum
Der of other individuals of the same spe-
cies, which were eating its soft parts
even while it was yet alive and protest
ing vigorously. l saw different attacks,
in which the conquerors, two or three at
time, got hold of the weaker members
of their own kind, throwing them over
and opening the abdomen in order tC
devour the entrails, these being the soft
er and more savory portions, since they
still contained some of the vegetable
food. Cannibalism here appeared in its
lowest development, and the numerous
remains of those which had been eaten
bore witness to the extent to which tile
process had been carried.
In the face of facts of this character,
it seems certain that nothing is sacred
in nature when the prolongation of life,
for the sake of the preservation of the
species, is concerned.-Carl Berg in Nat
ural Science.

Some of the .Snsnended.n

Ulysses NJ. Greene. who was a men,
Der of the Sixty-fourth o. V. l., has
been suspended from the pension roll.
Here is part of what he says Of his
services:
4 served more than four years in the
late war, or from the beginning OF
James Buc- anln's Democratic rebellion
against the United States Government,
till April 12, 1896. was in the follow
ing battles: Shiloh, siege OF Corinth,
Perryville, Stone River. Hoover's Gap,
Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge. Rocky
Face Ridge and ReSaca. besides skir-
misnes by the dozen. Twas shot through
the right thigh at Missionary Ridge. /

shell at Resaca, Ga, and the lower por-
ton of the calf of my left leg torn of.
l was never off duty day in the whole
four years, except when wounded as
above stated. l was honorably dis
charged from the service"
William Glass, blind veteran of
Logan, who lost his sight as result of
his service IN the Uaion army, has ha d
his pension cut in two by the Hoke
Smith regime at Washington. OF this
transaction The Republican Gazette
says: Mr.. Glass was good soldier.
He served with credit and did his duty
faithfully and we'll Now in his declin-
ing years, with the world shut from
his sight, with no income to save him
and his devoted wife from the cold
charity of the world. save the bounty
of the Government he risked his life to
save, he is turned out with a pittance
to wander in darkness and to die in
want. Such is the love of .e Cleveland
administration for the old soldier"
1t hat been discovered that the notices
of suspension of pensions sent out by
the Democratic Pension Office are
signed '-Gr.an B. Raum, Commits
sioner." Mr.. Raum was the late Re
publican Commissioner, and the object
undoubtedly is to convey to veterans the
impression that Raum is suspending the
pensions. This is despicable. but in per-
feet keeping with the tactics of the
Hoke Smith party.

the pursuit of fame is distracting; and
even the pleasures of knowledge are

AMONG the many powers of mind
which are reaching il their influence
is the power of discrimination. The
habit of mentally mixing up things that
are essentially separate, and confusing
together what should be kept apart is
the cause of much of the trouble and
sorrow, disappointment and heart-burn
ing in the world; and the fact that this
is not appreciated makes the uprooting
of the habit very difficult.

No good work that can be commenced
at once should ever be postponed. Men
sometimes compromise with their con-
sciences by promising to abandon some
pet vice at future day. We have no
faith in post-dated promises of reform.
Persons who make them may think they
are in earnest, but they deceive them
selves. Why not resolve and execute
simultaneously If a habit is evil and
dangerous, give it no quarter. Slay it
on the spot. Respited vices are rarely
conquered.
