ANCIENT EGYPTIAN SOLDIERS.

Discoveries That Have Lately Been
Made in the Tomb of Assault.
Mention was recently made Of the
discovery in the tomb Of ASSiut (fifth
dynasty of wooden models Of two COM
panies of Egyptian soldiers. Further
details have just been received, sent
by the Egyptian Exploration fund.
Each company consists of forty figures,
about thirteen inches high, fixed to a
wooden board in SQUADS Of four. The
figures are colored and have the loin
cloth. They are equipped with spear
and shield. The spears are as long as
the men, and the butts carried on q
level with the knee The bronze heads
are about One-sixth the total length of
the spear, and are shaped like those of
the Baggara Arabs of to-day. The
shields have q square base and come
to a point, and are eight inches long.
Across the narrow portion is batten,
through which the hand passes. The
second squad are black-skinned, small
er men, and wear a scanty loin cloth.
Their arms are bows and arrows tip
ped with flint, with edges chisel-shaped
and the tips not sharp. The Egyptian
contingent marches in regular order,

A Pair of Roots.

A business man in Tasmania failed,
and was compelled to call a meeting Of
his creditors. Among his assets were
a number of tin mine shares, which
were regarded as worthless. 1t was the
first tin mine discovered in Tasmania,
and the output was not as heavy as the
prospectus declared it would be. The
shares dropped in value, and when the
debtor offered them to his creditors,
the latter smiled and refused to touch
them. AMONG the creditors was poor
shoemaker. who had supplied the man
with pair of shoes. He offered to take
the shares in payment of his debt. No
one raised any objection. and he took
them. saying. "They may turn out well
some day" Five years later. under
proper management. the mine develop
ed into a valuable property. 1t was a
veritable mountain of tin. and the
shares Sprang up to an astonishing
point. Eventually the metal was ''cor-
nered'' by French syndicate. anG, the
shares reaching n fabulous price, the
once INDECENT shoemaker sold out and
realized fortune. In return for pair
of shoes he is now receiving an income
Of several thousand dollars a year.

We admire the cautious, conservative
man who never acts from impulse, but
always from careful judgment and ma
ture reflection. But there are times
when this may be carried to extremes.
John Little, Of Exeter, n. H, came
home to dinner recently and found his
wife hanging by the neck and kicking
vigorously. She evidently had decided
to commit suicide and, putting a bed
cord about her neck, stepped upon a
chair, tied the rope around beam and
kicked the chair from under her. We
believe our readers will admit that the
discovery of his wife under such cir
cumstances placed Mr.. Little in very
embarrassing position. He did not
want to make any mistake and he could
recall no rule in his Handbook of Ell
Quette and Rules for Action" which
gave directions how to proceed under
such circumstances. So he sat down to
think it over. He reasoned that, as he
had not lived very happily with his
wife, the neighbOrs would be sure to
criticise him if he failed to conform to
the uses of polite society He thought
1t would be better to have a witness.
He went out to find one Forty-fiye
minutes later, when he returned with
n neighbOr, Mr.. Little was panied and
shocked almost beyond measure to find
that his wife was dead. 1t was very
sad case. But Mr.. Little, in this hour
of his bereavement, at least, has the
proud satisfaction of knowing that
through it all he was entirely calm, cool
and collected, and acted with the care
full deliberation which marks the true
gentleman.

that the business was sufficient to war

Fields that Do Not Pay.

1t needs thorough understanding Of
the capabilities of any farm to make it
pay the most that is possible for it. Very
often these possibilities are not learn
ed except after costly experience. There
are some fields that have fertility
enough to produce good crops, but arc
so covered with stones that blowing
costs more than it ought Such fields
should be kept in grass as much as pos
sible until the farmer finds time to clear
away the Instructions to the pillow.
Steep hillsides may be rich enough to
be cropped. though they are not apt
to be. They should generally be kept
in grass. for if cultivated and left naked
through the winter. much of the surface
soil will be washed away by spring
floods. AS rule. on most farms nearly
all the profit is made from few fertile
fields. These are the places to put the
bulk Of the manure gradually extend

Protecting Young Orchards.

All young orchards are likely to 10
injured by mice in winter, especially
when the ground is covered by heavy
snow. Frequent visits to the orchard,
piling the snow and compacting it
around the trees, are the best prevCn-
tives. If mouse tracks are seen, trace
them to the hole where the animal has
made its home. A few grains Of corn
soaked in strychnine will keep the
mouse or any of its family from leav-
ing the hole alive. The poisoned grain
should not be left around the tree on
the surface of the ground, for it will
destroy the animals that make mice
their prey, and which should be encOur.

Greenland Woman Boats.

AS their name implies, these boats are
rOwed by women. They are open, fiat
bottomed, incOnvenient affairs, but
large enough for the family and the
family gOodS-tents, household imple-
ments, dogs, children and the rest.
They are rowed by as many as half a
score of OarSwOmen, and sometimes
make a run Of fifty English miles day.
They are generally steered by tie
father Of the family, while the other
male members follow in their kairks.
In their wOman-boats, says DR.. Nan
sen, the Greenlanders used to move
from one hunting ground to another all
through the summer. For one or two
months they always went far up the
fiords in search of reindeer, and there
they lived ON the fat of the land. In
those days they often undertook long
journeys up and down the west coast,
as to this day on the east coast. These
journeys are sometimes five hundred
miles in length. AS a rule they do noe
travel quickly. Two years are some
times spent in covering a distance Of
one hundred and eighty miles. But, as
soon as the Eskimos come to q place
where there are plenty of seals, they
go ashore, pitch their camp, take to'
and live at their ease. At the
of autumn. they choose good
site. build a winter house, and continue
their journey in the spring or summer
as soon as the ice permits.
