PnllaQelphia Record.
The statistics of the United States Az
rlcultural Department show some curiosi-
ties in the value of farm animals, and the
hgures are enormously large. For instance
the horses in this country number over
100000 and are valued at 1863 900, 900 0sing
round numbers), the average value per
state, with 1867. 900 horses, closely followed
by Illinois, Texas, Missouri, Kansas and
Ohio, in the order named. Rhode Islands
horses average the highest in price. in
proportion to number, each horse being
valued at 1913, while New Mexico ranks
the lowest. the average being but $3.50
lead en- mules, the former State holding
the highest honor, with nearly $4,000
are quoted to January, 1884, and. as com
pared with 1893, show a decrease of 125,-
600 horses in the United States and de-
crease in value for 1894 of 1929. 100000, as
the average price last year was SCI. %. while
this year, as stated, the average is but
S4fS, the difference in price representing
whole.
There are almost the same number of
cows as horses, the cows slightly leading,
put the value of each COW is but SILT,
the total value being $3.50 900, 900. New York
leads, having 15T2, 600 COWS, with Iowa and
Illinois second and third, the highest prices
average is $3.50. with Arkansas lowest, at
$oaG. There are 100000 sheep. valued at
$S9,OOO,CO0 There are also 100000 hogs,
valued at $5.9S each, the total being over
SziO,UoOOUO. California has the most sheep,
100000 with Texas close up, her proper
ton being S.S00,000. Ohio. Oregon, New
Mexico, Montana and Michigan follow,
New Jersey leading in price, at s4OS per
sheep, and Alabama the lowest at SID
Compared with 1893. cows have increased
5000 3nd are also n small fraction higher
in value on the average. the total increase
in valve being over 100000. Sheep have
largely decreased in number as well as lin
value and the same may be said of swine,
yet the decrease in the value Of each sheep
Is but bS cents and of each hog 43 cents
The total value of horses, COWS (oXen
and other cattle also). sheep and swine
amount to the enormous sum of S2,170 co.,
600. This does not include poultry and
eggs, which would probably add % per
cent more to the total sum. The shrink
age in value. compared with 1893. is SS12.-
100000. of which the horses are responsible
for the larger share. The stock interests
of this country large as they appear, are
really less than they should be. With the
use of improved breeds the value of the
cattle and sheep could be more than
doubled. This is shown in the average for
swine $3.50. which is quite large, owing
to the great improvements made in the
breeds Of swine within the past two dec
AIDES. 1t is gratifying 10 know that cattle
have held their prices and numbers, it
demonstrates a greater and growing inter-
est in that direction.

WOMEN OF CID EGYPT.
They Had Much Freedom and They
Used Ii to the Full Limit.


The most ancient moralist that we know.
the Egyptian Ptahhotpou, spoke of women
as bundles of mischief and bags full Of lies
and wickedness. The testimony of the wall
paintings of ThebeS. of the baSS-reliefS of
Louqsor and of the antique papyri written
by the remote predecessors Of Boccaccio and
old Egypt, with their plated hair and lew W
eled bosoms, were ardent to attack and
weak to resist. Princesses, daughters OF
the priestly class or peasants all resembled
the wife of Potiphar If we may believe the
ingenious stories, the popular tales and the
golden legends which have for centuries
amused the ennui Of the mummies in their
silent tombS, and which the modern readers
of hieroglyphics are now deciphering for
the better comprehension of the most an
cient and perhaps the gayest of clviliZa-
tons. The Egypt of the Pharaohs is
longer figured in our Imagination as a land
of hieratic contemplation, but rather, like
tears, Of hopes and of fears, of illusions
and emotions. a land peopled by human be-
ings. like ourselves, who laughed, sang.
even succeeded in deciphering love lyrics
that were sung four or five thou
f fae NieSNrics IN In which the G ancient Egyp-
tians expressed the sentiments that de-
voured them-sometimes with exquisite
sweetness at other times with an eXuber-
ance and a holiness OF imagination that
alarm our more sober Western minds. The
Egyptian made all nature participate in
his amorous emOtions-the song or the
birds, the perfume OF the flowers. the MUIR
murk of the breeze. Egyptian love is a
manifestation OF the joyous and splendid
harmony OF triumphant nature, but at the
same time II is tempered by a veil OF sad
ness, and by the eVer-present conscious
ness OF the fragility of things and the
brCyity OF bliss.
The Egyptian woman was almost the
equal Of man. she was free 10 come and
go, TO tempt and TO be tempted. and she
made use OF her privileges. The land OF
Potiphars wife Is not the land either OF
the harem or of the veil. II is In the
palaces OF Assyria that we must look for
the harem. 1t is in the valleys of the
Euphrates and the Tlgris, 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 al
most as soon as IL was invented The first
woman who saw her own image reflected
I'm the still waters OF the river. whether
Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel or Euphrates. was
the first coquette, and when she began 10
arrange her hair. 10 smooth IL. 10 hide IL
with veil or shawl, 10 conceal one part
OF her face and TO reveal another, the art
OF couture was invented
