Egyptian Geonetu.

The Ahmes papyrus doubtless repre-
sents the most advanced attainments of
the Egyptians in arithmetic and geom-
ety. It is remarkable that they should
have reached SO great proficiency in
mathematics at so remote q period of
antiquity. But strange indeed is the
fact that during the next 2, 600 years
they should have made no progress
whatsoever in it
All the knowledge of geometry which
they possessed when Greek scholars WIS.,
tied them, six centuries B. c., was
doubtless known to them 2, 900 years
earlier, when they built those stupen-
dous and gigantic structures, the pyra-
mids An explanation for this stagna-
ton Of learning has been sought in the
fact that their early discoveries in math-
ematics and medicine had the misfor-
tune of being entered upon their sacred
books, and that in after ages it was
considered heretieal to augment or mod
lily anything therein. Thus the books
themselves closed the gates to progress.

Horsepower of the Worlds Engines.

: A steam horsepower is equivalent
to the actual strength of three horses of
the average weight and size, and each
horse represents the strength of seven

gines of the world (not including loco
motives, of which there are 105, 900, with
a total horsepower of 5000, O0O) is 46, :
600, 600, which represents all the force
that could be exerted by 1000, 600, 900
men, or more than twice the total work
ing population of the entire globe. Four
fifths of the power machines now in ac-
tive service have been made during the
past 25 years. This country has the
highest amount Of horsepower, $780,
900; England comes second, with 2, 600, :
600; Germany third, 4, 500, 600, only

WHAT TIE CHINESE EAT.

A membe- Of the English parliament
Florence O'Driscoll, has lively paper
in The Century describing life and street
scenes in Canton. Mr. O'Driscou says:
The food purveyors made 3 most
striking display; the huiterers exposed
ON fiat trays bananas, pineapples, mel
ons, figs pears (the latter beautiful to
the sight, but hard and tastelessl, to-
gether with many Chinese fruits, whose
shapes and tastes were familiar to me,
but whose names knew not Some of
these fruits were most artistlcalIv peel
ed, pineapple pee1ing being quite =. art
A great variety of vegetables was offer
ed for sale. Among them were the white
shoots of the bamboo, which seemed to
be 3 favorite article of diet But to what
use indeed may not this wonderful grass
be put? From it Cinnamon make almost
everything conceivable hats, cloaks,
sheets, carpets, roofs, buildings, baskets,
chairs, carrying poles, fishing tools; the
List might be prolonged ad infinitum.
And thea they eat it as well
Preserving ginger in many forms was
a noticeable trade The roots were
washed and left in water, as an English
cook treats potatoes before boiling them.
A number of men and women holding
two pronged fork in each hand sat
around table with the tubs of peeled
ginger beside them They picked ginger
roots out of the water, and laying them
on the table pierced them all over very
rapidly with both forks until quite soft.
The pierced roots were then put into
another tub, where they were boiled in
strip. The ginger went through various
other minor processes until eventually
it was packed in the earthenware Jars
in which it is sold in European shops
The whole process was certainly clean
one, and the smell Of the aromatic root
in preparation was both grateful and
pleasant
In the bakers shops I saw nothing
corresponding to our European loaf.
Solid looking little yellow patties, slabs
of fabby brown cakes, emblematic of
concentrated dyspepsia; scenes OF an
equivalent, apparently of fried batter,
and great fakes of milk white, slippery
looking paste not above an eighth of an
inch thick-to be rolled up and deity
sliced with a cleaver shaped tool into
long strings like macaroni These foods
were to be seen everywhere in the city,
but nothing light and open To my eyes
the breadstuffs seemed sad, solemn, sod
den and bilious.

THE SoLAclNG WEED.


CivIized Men Take TO Tobaeco . Level
Above the Lower AniInals.
In the opinion OF about four in every
five men the essential difference between
man and the inferior animals is that
man smokes tobacco. Occasionally pre-
cocious monkey has been taught to
drink beer and smoke pipe Old Tom
in the London zoo, for instance hut
this only emphasizes the exclusive hui
manness of smoking. The monkey is
nearest kin to man and is in full prog
ress toward the human state As the
ultra temperance lecturers affirm, "A
dog wouldn't smoke the vile weed. !"
No other animal than superior man and
the anthropoid ape will smoke. Perhaps
in the civilized white world one man in
five is the victim of some defect that
dEquaGfies him for smoking. The de-
feet may be tendency to a cancerous
growth, or it may be wife or mother
m-law. The remaining four are in the
full enjoyment Of all their faculties
and the right to pursue happiness
through a cloud of tobacco smoke.
Lack of opportunity to smoke is with
ont doubt the most affective evil under
which a majority of men suffer. A
large proportion of men are employed
in offices, stores and shops where rules
against smoking are rigidly enforced.
This is entirely proper. No superior
smoker ever smokes while working To
do that is to debase the luxury and to
take off the keen edge Of the pleasure
It is intemperance and dissipation. The
most expert wine tasters never drink to
excess, but find that in moderation only
does the palate retain its power to de-
tect the delicate flavor. So with smok-
ing. At night, after few pipes or CT
CARS have dulled the edge of appetite, it
is allowable to smoke half dozen with
some violence to stimulate jaded pal
ate, but at other times pleasure goes
with moderation. To smoke after meal
is the imperative demand of the whole
system. Not to be able to do this is to
incur endless disorders Of the nervous
system, the stomach and the entire di-
gestive apparatus and sometimes to in
vite progressive decay of the mental
faculties. There is no better preparation
for days work for the smoker than a
pipe or cigar after breakfast. New
