NOTHING NEW UNDER THE sun.

1t has been the custom of many people
to belittle the ancients by assuming that
they knew but little of mechanics, GER
tainly not so much as we do. The build
ers of the pyramids have been described
by modern guessers as making their cal
culations and carrying on the most
wonderful engineering operations with
the aid of pools Of water for obtaining
levels and star angles; they could not,
it was assumed, have instruments ex-
cept the most crude. So also the old
Chinese were mere rude workmen. al
though it is we'll known that they dis
covered the procession of the equinoxes
over 1000 years ago. OF late evidence
has been slowly coming out that tends
to show the ancients as perhaps having
as much, if not more than we have. So
the following from the New York Even
ing Sun will be of interest: "An En-
glish officer by the name of Harrington
has discovered in India working tele-
phone between two native temples which
stand over mile apart. The testimony
of the Hindus, which, it is said, is backed
up by documentary proof, shows that
the system has been in operation for
over 1000 years. Scientists engaged in
excavating the ruins of ancient Egyptian
temples have repeatedly found unmis
taxable evidence OF wire communication
between some of the temples of the
earlier Egg ian dynasties."
1t will probably be found in the course
of time that the oft-repeated statements
of H. P Blavasky that the ancients had
all of our arts and mechanical devices,
we're true. She asserted that they had
flying machines In Buddhist books is
a story of Buddha which refers to flying
machine or mechanical bird used in the
former life of the Lord, and Indian tradi
tion speaks also of air-walking machines.
Reading this item in the newspapers re-
minds me too of a conversation / had
with III P. Blavatsky in New York. be-
fore the phonograph came out, in which
she said that some Indian friends of
hers had machine by which they spoke
with each other over distances of miles
with great ease. Perhaps when the
great West is convinced that the old
Aryans had mechanical contrivances
equaling our own, it will lend a reader
aar than now tn the phiIocophiao tho
East has SO long held in keeping.

ADVICE TO WIVES.

Do remember that you are married to
a man, and not to a god; be prepared
for imperfections.
Do anticipate the discovery by your
husband that you are "only woman"
if you were not, he would not care about
you.
Do once in awhile let your husband
have the last word; it will crafty him
and be no particular loss to you.
Do be reasonable; it is great deal to
ask under some circumstances, but do
try; reasonable women are rare be
rare.
Do remember that servants are made
of the same material as you are; little
coarser grained, perhaps, but the same
in essentials.
Do try and forget yourself; as to your
husband, forget that you married him,
and remember that he married you; he
will then probably do the reverse
DO let him read the newspaper at
breakfast table; it is unsociable. but
then it is only trifie after all, and he
likes it.
Do respect your husbands prejunices.
Do respect his relations, especially his
mother-she is not the less his mother
because she is your mother in law; she
loved him before you did.-Home World.

will fade away and be forgotten, but
hers will shine on until the light from
heavens portals shall glorify our own.
When in the fitful pauses of our busy
life our feet wander back to the old
homestead. and crossing the well-worn
threshold we stand once more in the low
quaint room so hallowed by her presence,

and dependence comes over us as we
kneel down in the evening hour just
where we long years ago knelt at moth

many times when the tempter lures us
on, the memory of those sacred hours,

not hidden from our sight the glory of
her pure, unselfsh love."-tSusdn T'eol

HORTICULTURE.

In plant nutrition there has been one
fact permanently established potash in
an available form in the soil is absolutely
essential to the growth of plants, and
that sodium in any shape is not essen
tial. Do not be deceived by those who
would persuade you to buy at good
price the worthless waste of salt works.
In hen manure and wood ashes we
have two substances which are not suffi-
GENTLY appreciated by the average gard
ener. Keep fowls for this purpose only,
ard burn all the old rubbish available,
Of whatever kind it may be, and scatter
upon the ground to be narrowed in.
To grow roses successfully, plant al
ways where they will get the sun all day;
keep them away from shade trees. Even
put the climbers upon the sunny side of
the house. Any good soil will do, but it
must not be low and wet. Chip dirt and
barn yard scrapings are good fertilizers,
but should be worked in deeply.
The man whose soil is good, strong
loan. and who will give his orchard ex-
ira care and attention, will maks more
money from dwarf pears than from the
standard varieties; should be grated on
the ounce, have good culture. and the
last years growth be trimmed back.
The Mexican tree bean, which is still
advertised among the novelties, is but
branching variety of the white navy. 1t
is, however, very prolific, the pods usu-
ally containing dozen or more berries.
and it will doubtless prove valuable
winter sort.
Soil which will grow gor d farm crops
will grow fruit trees well. Underdrain
the low ground, subsoil where the soil is
shallow. and turn under good crop of
clover when preparing to set out the or

THE STREET LIFE OF NAPLES.

hawkers almost exclusively. At the
portable kitchen booths bill of fare is
offered to the hungry wayfarer that is
laughingly reasonable in price and varied
in kind. Besides the ever present mac
aroni, the principal articles of food are
the frutH di mare, "sea-fruits." includ-
ing mussels, polypi and sea-spiders, all
regarded as most tempting delicacies by
the hungry lazzarone. Then there
are roasted fishes of all kinds, maize
dumplings, so called spiGhe, and finally,
the national meat food called brdccinOle,
which is really dumping or cake made
of lamb meat and lard. Snail soup is
another delicacy, as we'll as cheese with
bacon la pizza). Like all southerners,
the Neapolitans show marked fondness
for sweets of all kinds, and they would
be quite lost without their portion of
strufoh, rather tough cake made
principally of honey. Then nothing ap-
peals to the lazzaroni appetite so insid-
iously as the famous Easter cake of
Cassatello, which is sprinkled most
temptingly with fluid pork fat, and in
which whole eggs are baked, shell and
ala questionable dainty to uneducated
palates.
The lazzaroni women are seldom beau
tiful, and generally not even pretty.
They are usually poorly built, with
swarthy compilations and irregular feat
ures. Now and then one finds lustrous
pair of eyes of great beauty-but rarely.
The Neapolitan women are not to be
compared with the women of the coun-
try as seen in Rome and in the Cam
pagna, whose trim figures, graceful
movements, and frequently charmingly
fascinating faces so often greet the eye
of the traveller. Their fulness of form,
proud bearing, and fine profiles are all
conspicuously absent in the wives of the
lazzaroni. And how could it well be

MOTHERS WISDOM.

Il often MARVEL" said middle-aged
man, "at the way my mother used to
work out the kinks and knots in our
young lives. She had such faculty
for lowering the pitch of our indignations
and of placing before us in the true light
all sides of our troubles. Instead of
tanning the flames of our unjust and un-
balanced estimates Of the wrongs we
thought we had suffered, she calmly
judged the case and showed us where
we were at fault. She showed us the
unwise results of jumping at conclu-
sions, and the wrong we did ourselves
and others by forming unjust judgments
of them. And / cannot remember that
| ever heard her speak an unkind, I'M
charitable word of any one. What
pity that we cannot see these wonderful
characteristics in our young days, and
that they are not revealed to us until SO
many of our mothers have passed into
the skies and we cannot tell them how
they influenced our lives for good"
When my friend left me / found my
self thinking of the wonderful influence
of mothers. To the child what mother
says and does is always right. Mothers
estimate of people and things is conclu-
sive. What opinions she has must be
right, for is not mother the wisest and
best person in the whole world.
If the boy has quarrel and comes
home to tell her that his mate is the
meanest boy in the world, that he has
injured him, and he hates him and will
not speak to him again-"never as long
as he lives" the unwise mother will take
her boys part; she will depreciate his
mate in his hearing and leave the i'm
preston on her sons mind that he is
perfectly justifable in his denunciation
of his former friend.
But the wise mother will listen calmly
to her boys statement of the wrongs he
thinks he has suffered, and then she
will ask him what he did himself to
bring about such state of unpleasant
ness. She will not magnify the wrong,
but make it as light as possible, and con
vince her boy that he was somewhat to
blame himself, and that it always takes
two to make quarrel, but one can al
ways end it'-showing that fcrgiving,
forgetting spirit is the right one to be
fostered. and that it is no sign of weak
ness, but strength, to go more than half
way in the making up of quarrels, and
being good friends again.
Children often come in and tell some
stories detrimental to their neighbors,
which they have heard unwisely told
over in some of their young companions
homes. o how much trouble and I'M
just prejudices have come from gossip Of
this kind spoken before children, who
have not the discretion to keep it to
themselves.
The wise mother never encourages
such gossip. She deTrecates it, and
teaches her children that charity which
makes the child and the man and wo.
man so Christlike all through life. If
we mothers could only, as Madam SWEET
chine says, employ heavenly forces to

STOCK.

In addition to other thoughtful things
done for the hogs and their comfort, give
them sheds which are high and capable
of admitting plenty of fresh air. 1t is
essential to the best thrift. All living,
growing things do best under best con-
ditions.
Perhaps the best way to treat foot rot
in sheep is to cut off the diseased portion
of the hcof, and then rub in nitric acid.
The fine wool breeds are most subject to
this disease. This trouble is one which
is likely to result when the flock is kept
on low or wet pastures.
A liberal feeding of oil meal to the
swine is as necessary and profitable as
when fed to other stock. Especially
when fed upon dry corn do they become
feverish and constipated, and needing
just such relief as the meal will give

the hog cholera is chiefly due to this
manner of feeding.

have bungling gait or lack of endur-

Roses may be increased by layering,
1. e., taking strong shoot, cutting a slit
in the stem. and burylng this cut under
ground. If done in early summer, roots
will soon form, and by fall or next spring
the shoot can be cut off and the new
plant started on its own hook.
1t is mistake TO have half dozen
branches to the grape vine where there
should be but one. The one should give
fine, large berries, and punches which
would weigh just as much as the fruit
on the half dozen shoots from the old
vine. Try it.
The one true woodbine is grown in
European thickets, bearing rosy yellow
flowers, though honeysuckles of all sorts

first reading of the news. Usually
she took it day old.
Someway the good things of life
had always come a day late to Miss
Margaret or else not at all. Perhaps
that was the reason why her face,
which had been handsome once and
full of promise, had such sharp lines
about the mouth. 1t was thin, an
gular face, and the scant, straight
hair above it, which used to be so
black, was streaked with gray.
At the other side of the small
round table sat Miss Margaret's sister
Harriet, placidly knitting. If her
face bore fewer traces of disappoint-
ment than Margaret's it was not be-
cause she had had more of the joys of
life. Perhaps it was because she had
expected less. Harriet Staples had
been called very plain girl; but now
hers was a pleasant face to look upon,
round and peaceful, the touch of
rose-color in the cheeks contrasting
prettily with the snowy wilderness of
her soft, heavy hair. The eyes were
pleasant and friendly; at the corners
of the mouth were the little wrinkles
that come from smiles, and, altogeth-
er, the face was very lovable.
Yet these two sisters had lived
their lives and grown old together.
For forty years they had not been
separated for a single night. For
forty years and more they had had
the same things to worry over, and to
be glad about, the same sorrows and
the same simple pleasures.
Suddenly the paper dropped from
Miss Margaret's hands, and she
looked up at Harriet, her pale face
almost CHASTITY.
"What is it, sisters"
"Bob Barton's deadl"
"You don't sayp
Even Miss Harriet's calm face
showed signs of agitation, and her
hand shook as she reached for the
the paper.
There were only two lines of it.
Robert Barton had been found dead,
that morning, in the little room which
was the only home he had known for
forty years.
The paper had lost all attractions
for Miss Margaret, and Harriet's
stocking fell to the floor UNDECIDED.
The room was very still-only the
little old clock ticking in the corner,
and the purring of the great, gray
cat on his cushion.
Outside, in the street, people were
passing to and fro. Sometimes their
voices were loud and penetrating, but
the sisters did not hear them. They
were back in the long ago, when
handsome Bob Barton used to spend
an evening, now and then, in this
same sitting room which in all these
years had never quite lost the glory
of his presence.
By and by two tears forced them
selves from Harriet's eyes. She
wiped them away hastily, and glanced
furitively at her sister. Margaret had
not seen the tears, and her face wore
such a softened look that Harriet
ventured to speak.
"Father used to set such store by
him" she said, softly. "'Twas you
he always used to come to see. / al
ways knew that"
