THE WOMEN or EGYPT.

Facts That Prove They Were Not Far Re-
hind Their Modern Sisters.
The women of to-day should be deep
ly learned in Egyptology, as there is
much in recent developments to show
thatwoman was very highly regarded
in the ancient times. We find them act
ing as regents during the minority of
their sons. They transacted business
and bequeathed their property. Deeds
of gifts have been found by mother to
her daughter, and another in which
mother transfers her property to her
daughter on certain conditions. Then
the re is the famous Queen Hatasu, a
most brilliant woman and remarkable
builder
The oldest known fragment Of Homer
pillowed the head of young woman
who was doubtless buried with her
favorite poet as Tennyson of our own
time was buried with his. There is
every indication that the higher educa-
ton Of woman was duly considered and
If no evidences of coeducation exist
it is doubtless because those ancient
people were much too wise to attempt It.
That women possessed tact and Q
delightful manner of ordering their
homes Is inferred from the fact that
all the portraits and statues of Egypt
ian men represent them with partic-
ularly happy and good-natured ex-

SOME SUBJECTS FOR DEBATE.
English University Students Discussing
Curious Variety Of Questions.

English University Students Discussing
Curious Variety OF Questions.
The college debating societies at
Cambridge, England, seem to discuss a
curious variety Of questions. A recent
list of motions, as given by the Toronto
Mail, includes the following olio Of
oddities: At Christ's, "That Robinson
ought not to have been frightened at
the footprint In the sand" which ex-
cited q great variety Of opinions, and
ultimately was lost by twenty-six votes
against 16 ayes, eight auditors remain
ing undecided. At Jesus, the still more
startling proposition was moved, THAT
radicalism spells ruin" which was, of
course, carried by large majority. At
Queens disapproval Of "Woman's en-
croachments upon mans dominion" was
carried by nineteen to thirteen. And
at st. Johns the heresy, "That univer-
sity education units a man for practical
life," was rejected by twenty-six against
six. At Kings the society found them
selves equally divided as to the truth of
the assertion, THAT art had ceased to
exist" At Trinity hall it was decided
THAT political prisoners should wear
the prison dress" At Pembroke
resolution, ''That personal liberty is
too much restricted in this university"
was, singular to say, rejected. Sydney
college voted, by large majority,
'"That the learned professions are not
yet played OUT" and Cavendish, also, by
large majority, approved Lord Ten
nyson's doctrine, "That to have loved
and lost is better than never to have loved
at ALL" Ayerst hall refused to condemn
theaters, and Selwyn voted "That war
is necessary to the welfare of nation" {"

THE MONK-FISH.

A Curious Creature That Disappeared by
Reason of q Plague.
One of the Nightmares of John Ash
toms Curious Creatures Of Zoology" is
the monk-fish or sea monk, he being in
debted to both Aldrovandus and Stow
for his account. If the old writer's are
reliable, these monsters were quite
common in the North sea, the British
channel and along the Irish coast up to
the year 1A14, when they are said to
have become extinct through the rav-
ages Of a plague similar to that which
was affecting men at about the same
time. The superstitious Of those days
believed that they were priests or
monks who had been cursed for some
crime and condemned by God to an end
less life beneath the waves
Slows account Of one caught In 1887
is as follows: "He had the shape of q
man in all poynts and was kept in the
castle at Oxford by the keeper thereof
All manner Of raw meats he did gladly
cate, but more greedilie of rave fishe,
after that he had crushed out all mois-
ture. Often he was brought to the
church, but showed no signs of rever-
ence, and at length, when not well
looked to, he stole away to the sea and
was never seen again after"

A Queer Railway Rule.

can travel for fare and half, a
schedule of rates much more satisfying
to everyone than children half price, I"
and much more reasonable. It is sug-

abuse. A prudent man might prolong
his courtship indefinitely ct reduced

Fireballs In England.

The use of fireballs saves one-third
coal, and is common enough in England,
from the laborer's cottage to the lodg-
ings of thrifty gentlewomen in Bath
and Cheltenham. Made of one-third
coal dust, two-thirds sand and beaten
clay, nodded with water into balls the
size of goose egg and dried, they are
permanent fuel. When the coal fire is
hot and red a dozen of these balls put
into the furnace will become red-hot
and stay SO, like red-hot brick, keeping
up the heat far longer than coal with
out them. There is nothing like them
for keeping the house warm at night,
and half dozen put red-hot into
brazier or portable furnace would take
the chill off bedrooms very comforta-
bly,. When rooms are heated by stoves
economy lies in never letting the fire go
down in cold weather, as it takes more
heat to warm the rooms when the walls
are chilled than it does to keep them so
for days.

EsQUlMAUx IN SUMMER.

Clean and Healthy,

What VIII BE Done to Keep Them
Clean and Healthy.
Considerable anxiety is expressed by
exposition officials concerning the
effect the Esquimau village at the
worlds fair will have on the reputa-
ton of jackson park as health resort.
The entire park has been severed and
it's sanitary conditions rendered as
nearly perfect as possible. The village,
however, has been located in the one
corner most affected by every unfavor-
able feature. A part of the space as
signed to it is occupied by sheet Of
water that is generally stagnant in
spite of all endeavors to keep it pure.
The Esquimaux themselves, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean, are not the clean
est people in the world, and unless
they are very closely watched they are
liable to assume condition not pleas
ing to the fastidious. They delight to
daub themselves with oil, which often
becomes rancid and very offensive.
The attempt to reproduce the condi-
tions that surround these peculiar peo-
pie in their native land induced the COM
pany owning the concession to erect
huts that are impossible to ventilate.
Then. too, there are the hounds main
tanned in the village. These animals
are neither beautiful nor clean, and un-
less given better quarters than they
now occupy will prove nuisance.
Even now the atmosphere that sur
rounds the village is not too sweet.
When the hot days of July arrive it will
be difficult to keep it from giving Of
tense. Should an epidemic break out
in the village it will, at least, give the
officials good scare, and prove more
serious to the Esquimaux themselves.
Those who are in charge of the village,
however, declare that they can keep it
as clean and healthy as any other por-
ton of jackson park. They guarantee
their wards to breed neither the chol-
era nor the smallpox. At present the
attendance at the village is quite lib
eral

JUPiIER,s RED SPOT.
II Csn BE Easily seen Through . Small
Telescope by Amateur Astronomers.


Telescope by Amateur Astronomers.
All owners Of telescopes, and their
number has become very large within
the past few years, will be glad to hear
that the strange red spot on Jupiter,
which was so much obscurcd last sum-
mer as, at times, to be invisible even
with the huge Lick telescope, Is slowly
Frightening again. The appearance,
says the Youths Companion, is as If
veil of clouds which had been drawn
over it was being gradually removed.
This is by no means the "nly time
that this singular spot on the giant
planet has behaved in a similar way
since it first made it's appearance in
1878. just what the spot is, and what
the changes in its aspect mean, astrono-
mers do not yet know. But that 1t is
tremendous phenomenon upon the sur
face OF the great world of Jupiter is ev-
ident when few figures concerning its
dimensions are recalled.
The spot is not less than thirty thou
sand miles long and at least seven thou
sand miles wide. In other words, it COW
ers an area more than equal to the
whole surface of the earth
The fiery hue which it sometimes
presents for months together seems
very suggestive in view of the proba-
bility that Jupiter is a planet yet in an
intensely heated condition, whose con-
tinents and oceans, If it is ever to pos
sess any, have not yet been formed.
When at its brightest the red spot can
be well seen with telescope of only
three or four inches aperture, so that it
then forms a suitable object for obser-
vation by amateurs.
This year Jupiter is particularly in
teresting on account of the distinctness
OF It's great system of belts, lying par
allel with its equator. Small tele-
scopes show the principal belts easily,
and 1t is very interesting to watch the
changes that take place in them from
time to time, particularly when it is re.
membered that what one is looking at is
probably vast masses of swirling clouds
in the heated atmosphere of world
that may be said to be in the process o1
creation.

THE USE OF SLANG.
Il It More Frecusns Among the Girls OF
the Boys?

A writer in the Baltimore Sun states
that girls use more slang-especially II
they are grown up-than boys do.
Girls, 1t is affirmed, talk mnch more
than boys. so that their stock of un.
couth words is in more frequent use. 1t
is also larger. If a boy were a mine of
slang his taciturnity would keep it con-
cealed from all but a few of his chums.
His inventions are confined to q small
circle, and his opportunities of borrow
ing are correspondingly diminished.
Not so with the girl. The loquacity Of
her assoc 'ates, aided by her own,
spreads and multiplies slang with the
greatest raj idity. She is more sociable.
At school sht IL "thicl" with dozen
and gathers in all the dozen know. And
besides, says the same authority, girls
are so reckless in the use of language
that they give slangy character to
good English. With the girl at the
period Of gigglehood every good thing
is perfectly so. She never" does this
and she always" does that. She some
times feels hateful" but it is oftener
some one else who is perfectly horrid"
Nearly everything is lawful" Such
are some of the charges this abominable
person brings against the sweet young
creatures Another authority fatty
contradicts them all and says the boy is
the sum of all villainies. The words he
prefers, 1t is asserted, are SO tinged
with profanity that he cannot use them
at home, and it is thus only that he gets
his reputation for freedom from slang.
Who can settle the dispute? We are OF
opinion that injustice is done to the
girls. We are confident also that few
boys are as bad as represented. 1t is
possible that the so-called authority
has been judging the whole world from
his few Unfortunate associates.

A REAL SNAKE STORY.
The serpent Got Into the Hornets Nest
to Catch the Hornets.

to Catch the Hornets.
A citizen of fredericksburg, Va,
claims that while travelling to Tappa-
hammock he saw q large blacksnake
slowly crawling among the branches of
tree that stood by the roadside.
Following the snake with his eye the
observer saw an unusually large
hornets nest attached to one of the
branches of the tree, and toward which
the snake was advancing.
When close to the nest the snake
coiled itself about limb, releasing its
tail, and with it gave several hard raps
upon the exterior of the nest as If
knocking for admission. The noise of
the blows and the swaying of the nest
caused the hornets to leave their home
and prepare for an attack upon the in
truder. The snake ceased tapping
with its tail as soon as the hornets left
the nest, uncoiled itself and quickly
disappeared, taking the place Of the
hornets within their nest.
Presently the snakes head was seen
to peer out, and its bright black yes
glistened as he anticipated feast from
which the bravest man would shrink

within the entrance hole to the nest un-
til nothing was seen of it except an oc-
casional forked tongue that darted In
and out with lightning rapidity. Think
ing the coast clear the hornets began
to return to their nest, when the snake
took them In as fast as they could enter.
Watching the proceedings for some
time our informant concluded that all
the hornets had been safely hived, and
he stood up in his buggy, tapped the
nest with his whip, and awaited the re-
suit.
No hornets appearing, the nest was
then knocked to the ground, opened,
and his snakeship found in a torpid
condition, with his size greatly in
creased. The snake was killed and a
post-mortem held with the following
result: Stomach stuffed with dead

TO SECURE AMULETS.
Reason Why Primeval Men Cut Holes 1
the Skulls of Their Dead.

Reason Why Primeval Men Cut Holes in
the Skulls of Their Dead.
We are disposed rather to accept DR..
Broca's first suggestion than the last,
and to regard trepanning among the
prehistoric men as having had thera-
peutic motive, says the Popular Science
Monthly.
The perforation of the tomb was al
most certainly intended as a door of
exit for spirits. Even in later times,
when the dead we're burned, holes were
often bored or knocked in the urns that
contained the ashes, for the same pur-
pose. Some cinerary urns have been
found with little windows, as it were,
made In them, and a piece of glass
placed over the hole. Macrobius, in
his Saturnalia, quotes an Etruscan be-
lief that a door should be opened for
the spirits to pass IN and out.
The writer remembers a case of q dy-
ing woman some few years ago in Sus-
sex. She was gasping, and apparently
was undergoing the last struggle in
great distress. The nurse went to the
window and opened 1t. At once the
dying woman breathed deeply and ex-
pired. The writer said to the nurse:
"Why did you open the Window"
The answer given was: "surely you
wouldn't have her soul 60 up the chin
ney?"
One can understand how that, If q
piece Of skull had been regarded as In
contact with demon or spirit, 1t would
be respected rs an amulet, and that so
the rondelles removed from the heads
of men who had been subject to epi-
leptic flts would acquire virtue in the
eyes of the ignorant and superstitious,
and be employed as charms. And this
seems to be both the simplest and
most intelligible explanation of hole
pierced heads, and of the wearing of
the portions removed from those heads
by men and women who had not them
selves been trepanned.
