Borax is an excellent washing pow

1t pays to smooth all wrinkles out
before beginning to iron.
To know when cake is done listen
to hear if it "talks." Cake is silent
when done.
An iron weighing seven pounds does
better work by passing it over the

times.
Line cake tins with buttered paper.
1t insures the cake slipping out easily,
and prevents burning on the bottom.
1t costs nothing, as any brown paper
can be used. A paper bag cut open
answers on q pinch.

DIVISION OF THE YEAR.
The Present Method Originated by the
Egyptians Thousands Of Years Ago.

The Present Method Originated by the
Egyptians Thousands of Years Ago.
The division of the year into 1854
days comes to us from the Egyptians.
So far as history reaches back into the
darkness of the early ages we are led
to believe that the dusky brown people
by the banks of the Nile were the first
to study the motions of the sun and
stars and make them the measure of
time. And some recent discoveries in
Egypt by careful students seem to show
the way in which the early astron-
omers were enabled to count the days
in the solar year. The great temples
on the Nile were built with long en-
trance of columns leading from the
river to the interior shrine-a kind of
tunnel; sometimes it was lined with
sphinxes or huge granite figures. Its
mouth was turned toward a certain
part of the heavens where the light of
the setting sun could enter it only once
a year. 1t was either at the summer
solstice, when the sun was farthest in
the north. or at some other periodic
position of sun or star. We may
imagine the Egyptian astronomer
watching in the inner shrine for the
opening of the new year. The long
line of columns served as a telescope
by which he could catch the first beam
of the setting sun. Suddenly the
red light would flash through the
tunnel up to the holy of holies. The
moment it reached the shrine the
philosopher would mark the hour and
knew that another year had begun.
From that point in time he could count
day after day until. when the three
hundred and sixty five days had passed,
once more the red beam of light
streamed into the tunnel and another
year had passed away. In this way it
seems probab BILE that ouzlays were first
counted and divided. Other nations
and even the Greeks and Romans. used
the moon as their guide, and divided
the year into lunar months But it
was found, as time passed on. that
great irregularities crept in: the
months no longer corresponded to the
seasons; April became June and the
autumn months winter. The Egyptian
sun-year was then generally adopted. |
But even this was disordered and al |
tered by the ignorance of the Roman
priests; and at last Julius Caesar, who |
was fond of astronomy, resolved to
correct the calendar: it is his year that |
we now use. and to his friend, the |
Egyptian Sosigenes, we owe our divis- |
ion of time. Astronomy was favor
lite study with the cultivated Romans,
and from Egyptian Alexandria, the
center Of the time, they drew |
their chief masters and books on the |
stars. Cesar fixed upon the list of
January as the beginning of his year
a season of feasting and JOY with the
Egyptians and all modern society,"
