Fraud In Comb Foundations.

Bee keepers relying on the use Of
comb foundations are often victimized
by cunning deceivers. In order thai
the foundations may be of value it Ii
absolutely necessary that they be
made of pure wax. However, the wax
is often adulterated by the use of par
afiine. The latter melts at q tempera'
ture Of ten degrees lower than wax and
is of little value, as it often melts down

used. although its presence is more

The state of Michigan has an un-
usually large number of women en-
gagged in agriculture, due, probably, to
the fact that in the fruit belts the cul-
ture of small fruits is especially adapt
ed to the work of careful women, need
ing scrupulous cleanliness. close atten-

course, many women are farmers be-
cause they were left by father or hus-
band with a farm on their hands, yet
there is an increasing number turn
ing deliberately to farming as voca-
tion as the problem of how to make a
living confronts them.
1t is said that few women have ever
failed who have seriously attempted to
make living from the products of the
soil, a fact perhaps not strange when
we consider that deliberate choice Of
the profession of agriculture would
scarcely be made by woman unless
she had real love for the work which
implies some knowledge of its prin-
ciples.
possibilities, and for healthy woman
of executive ability and some business
training, there is no better field. Sew
eral cattle ranches in the far west are
successfully run by women, and the
states of California and Florida are
dotted everywhere by attractive places
where woman is the presiding genius
outdoors as well as within the walls Of
the bright home. Dairying is yearly
attracting more women. 1t is bust
ness paying rich rewards for careful,
intelligent labor. Faithfulness, kind
ness and cleanliness, traits common
more to women than men, will prove
most effective in business that pro-
duces goods that rise, rather than fall,
in times of financial depression. Butter.
milk and cheese, if of high grade, are
ever in increasing demand at full prices.
Best of all, if woman succeeds in
this difficult profession, her work must
be judged from mans standpoint.
Farming is essentially "a mans occu-
patton, and she will be counted as a
successful worker entirely independent

THE WOMEN OF EGYPT.
Romantic Side Of tho Lives OF the Ancient
Oricntalc.


The most ancient moralist that we
know. the Egyptian Ptahotpou, spoke
of women as bundles of mischief and
bags full of lies and wickedness. The
testimony of the wall paintings of
Thebes, of the base-reliefs of Louqsor,
and of the antique papyri written by
the remote predecessors of Boccaccio
and Sacchetti, goes to show that the
ladies of old Egypt, with their plated
hair and jewelled bosoms, were ardent
to attack and weak to resist Prin-
cesses, daughters of the priestly class,
or peasants, all resembled the wife of
Potiphar, If we may believe the ingen-
ious stories, the popular tales, and the
golden legends which have for centur-
les amused the ennui of the mummies
in their silent tombs, and which the
modern readers of hieroglyphics are
now deciphering for the better COM
prehension Of the most ancient and
perhaps the gayest of civilizations.
The Egypt of the Pharaohs is no
longer figured in our imagination
as land of hieratic contempla-
tion, but rather, like our own country,
as place of joy and of tears of hopes
and of fears, of illusions and emotions,
land peopled by human beings like
ourselves, who laughed, sang, loved,
and passed. Modern erudition has
even succeeded in deciphering love-lyr-
les that were sung four or five thou
sand years ago on the banks of the
Nile-lyrics in which the anciet Egypt
ians expressed the sentime nts that de
af
ite sweetness, at other times with an
exuberance and boldness of imagina-
tion that alarm our more sober west
ern minds The Egyptian made all ma
| ture participate in his amorous emo
tions-the song of the birds, the per-
| fume of flowers, the murmur of the
breeze. Egyptian love is a manifesto
tion of the joyous and splendid har-
mony of triumphant nature, but at the
same time it is tempered by veil of
sadness and by the ever-present con-
seriousness of the fragility of things
and the brevity of bliss.
The Egyptian woman was almost the
equal of the man; she was free to come
and go, to tempt and be tempted, and
| she made use of her privileges The
land of Potiphar's wife is not the land
either of the harem or of the veil. Ii
is in the palaces of Assyra that we
must look for the harem. 1t is in the
valleys of the Euphrates and the
Tigris, in the cradle of civilization
that we shall find the veil, that
emblem of modesty and submission
which became one of the arms OF
coquetry almost as soon as it was in
vented The first woman who saw he,
own image reflected in the still waters
of the river, whether Pison, Gihon
Hiddekel, or Euphrates, was the first
coquette, and when she began to ar
range her hair, to smooth it, to hide il
with veil or shawl, to conceal one
part of her face and to reveal another

Monkey Tax in Bohemia.

The so-called monkey tax" of the
commune of Rosenberg, in Bohemia,
is surely the most eccentric in its origin
of all surviving feudal impositions.
One of the lords of Rosenberg, in the
later years of the middle ages, had a
monkey bought for him in the east, for
which he paid an enormous sum. One
day the monkey escaped from the cas-
tie and fled into the woods. The peas
ants, who had never seen monkey,
supposed it to be the devil in quasi
human shape going about seeking
whom he might devour, and they shot
it dead. They imagined they had done
an act of Christian piety for which they
deserved thanks. The angry baron,
however was inconsolablc at the loss
of his ugly pet, and imposed yearly
fine upon the peasant commune, which
it continues to pay up to the present
time me-WcStminSter Gazette

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

not be heated after it becomes acid.
OF course every dairy farmer has
laid in a supply Of ice for next sum

your business.
A CREAMERY, when rightly conduct
ed, is . blessing to any community. but
1t takes good while Cor some farmers
to see the point
MUCH has already been said about
the sanitary condition of the cellar.
and now is the time to carefully heed
past advice in that direction.
CREAM sometimes becomes bitter II
raised in pans at temperature too
low for the milk to sour. Milk in pans
should be sour in thirty-six hours.
ONE important point in the care of
poultry is sharp grit, and un less fowls
have this grit to properly grind their
grain food sickness will ensue.
KEEP your laying hens busy. That
is. give them exercise by throwing their
grain feed upon the floor and covering
with chaff, cut straw and the like.
HAVE all kinds of seeds ready so
there will be no delay when planting
time comes. 1t is u good plan to try
the seeds and be sure they will grow.
ECONOMY in feeding the animals
while the farm tools are exposed and
rusting Is more extravagant than any
system OF reducing expenses with
stock.

everything. Some crops may be abun-
