OWNED NO SOCIAL SUPERIOR.
The Early New EugIan1 Farmer Not Like
Eis Prototype OF the Present Day.

The Early New EHgiaud Farmer Not Like
Ek Prototype Of the Present Day.
The FIRST most forceful and most con-
spicuous social fact ia the early New
England community, where almost
everybody was a farmer, was the level
ing Of the class distinction. The soil
tiuer who owned his land might have
to toll for a living like a sert but the
Yale Review says he never incurred the
serfs degradation. Around him and
on the same level the great mass Of the
community were his fellow farmers,
whom he never gazed upon from below,
either as a matter of social rank or
from the plane of inferior vocation.
Slightly beneath him were the class of
farm laborers-not many, when wooded
lands were cheap, nor profoundly low
cred as class, in days when farmers
themselves interchanged services and
toiled even harder than their own field
hands. The country merchant was, un-
less exceptionally rich, the farmers
peer, no better and no worse, in the
pO1itAl oNhlc' AbtNt tllt ldIluCT SlOOu
only the men Of the professions, usually
college graduates, including the minis
ter and the squirearchs. But these,
while they formed a certain distinctive
cult" were too few to be n very
strongly emphasized group or impress
the class distinction harshly, Of the
two most prominent, the minister, vest
ed with powers well-nigh pontiical, yet
held them not of men; and the old
country squires, under the microscope
of time and New England novels, have
obtained in our day greatly maPnifed
importance which they never really
possessed. If the farmer had to wrestle
hard with his niggard soils and had
slight education and few creature CONS
forts, he had, as offsets, simple wants,
social equality and an assertive man
hood. He was in large sense the
civis Romanus of his time and place.

CLIMATE OF EGYPT.
Something About the Atmospheric Con-
ditions in the Valley of the Nile.

Something About the Atmospheric COna
ditlons in the Valley of the Nile.
From a study of the climate of Egypt
recently made by DIR. j. Ham, says
the London Globe, it appears that for
three or four days in March or April a
hot, dusty wind visits Cairo and de-
stroys the foliage of many Of the trees.
During summer hot winds-the Etesian
winds of the ancients to which Thales
ascribed the rise of the Nile-blow
from the north, but, although dry, they
are clean. Toward September damp
ness Of the air accompanies the rise of
the Nile, dew falls occasionally and the
heat becomes oppressive, owing to the.
moisture.
October and November bring snow
and then a morning fog or shower of
rain; but after that the weather be-
comes pleasant and steady snow is un-
known, frost is very rare and rain is
also infrequent.
The highest temperature recorded at
Cairo during the seventy-one years end
ing 1885. was III degrees Fahrenheit, in
August, 1881; the lowest was 2S.4 de-.
grees Fahrenheit, in February, 1880
The mean annual temperature was 70.5
degrees Fahrenheit. In 1887 the rain
fall was only 81 inch, and in 1888 it
was 1.67 inches. Hail and thunder
storms are exceedingly rare.

:nl le"irL- Or pAAL.
A Whole Village Now Ineiossd Within
the Aneksnt Walls.

There rises huge wall, seyenty-tve
feet high, inclosing a square court. Of
which the side is four hundred and
seventy feet long. Part OF the wall, hav.
ing fallen into ruins, has been rebuilt
from the ancient materials, but the
whole of the north side, with its beau
tiful pilasters, remains perfect.
As the visitors enter the court they
stand still in astonishment at the ex-
traordinary sight which meets their
eyes, for here, crowded within those
four walls, is the native village of Tad
mar. 1t was natural enough for the
Arabs TO build their mud huts within
these ready-made Notifications, admits
Blaclxwood's Magazine, but the impress
sion produced by such a village in such
a place is indescribably strange. The
temple, so TO speak, is eaten out at the
core, and little but the shell remains.
But here and there Huted Corinthian
column or group of columns, with en-
tablature still perfect, rises in stately
grace far over the wretched huts, the
rich, creamy color of the iimestone and
the beautiful holdings of the capitals
contrasting with the clear blue of the
cloudless sky. The best view Of the
whole is to be obtained from the roof Of
the naos, which, once beautiful and
adorned with sculpture, is now all bat
tered and defaced and has been meta
morphosed into a squalid little mosque.
To describe the view from that roof
were indeed hopeless task. High into
the clear blue air and the golden sun
shine rise the stately columns; crowded
and jumbled and heaped together be-
low, untouched by the gladdening sum
beams, unrefreshed by the pure, fresh
air, lies all the squalor and wretched-
ness of an Arab mud hut village.

TUTELARY TREES.
Some of the Shrubs Considered Sacred by
Peoples of the East.


Peoples of the East
People had their tutelary trees just as
they had their tutelary gods, the
former being the affairs and shrines of
the latter, says the Gentleman's Maga-.
zine. Among the Scandinavians the
ash was held to be the most sacred
tree. Serpents, according to their be-
lief, dared not approach it. Hence the
women left their children with entire
confidence under its shade while they
went on with their harvesting. The
Jews and the Arabs place the date palm
before all other trees, because it was,
they say, made of the same clay as.
Adam, and prophesied through its
leaves. The rabbis accredited Abra-
ham with a knowledge of what was
thus conveyed for his direction. In
Persia the inhabitants burn wax tap,
ers, as at shrine, before the, trees
which they hold sacred, the oriental
plane and the cypress. They hope thus
to OBTAIN the cure of their malsdies
and the accom- plishment of their
wishes. So throughout the length and
breadth of India, the Ficus religiosa,
under which Buddha rested for seven
years plunged in divine thought, is ded7
icated to religious worship, and may
on no account be felled or destroyed
With more universal, but not less sim
cere, reverence do the peasants of
Russia nroStrate themselves before tho
trees which they are about to cut, and
deprecate the vengeance Of the deities
whose resting places they then proceed

ALTAR OF ROSES.
Expense and Trouble Necessary for the
Production of Single Pound.

Production of a Single Pound.
Altar of roses is generally spoken Of
IS the most eXjravagantly costly per-
fume in the world, but when the trouble
and expense OF raising the roses and
securing the essence is taken into ac-
count it is really very reasonable in
price, says the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat. If the delicious perfume were
produced in this country and the lowest
wages in the land paid for labor il could
not be retaied at even three times the
existing prices. Nearly all the altar of
roses in the world comes from the por-
ton of Europe which used to be a part
of Turkey, but which is now under Rus
sian influence. To secure q pound of
essence it is necessary to have an entire
acre of ground covered with roses and
to have good crop even them and then
the cultiv; .ors cannot rely on receiving
more than seventy or seventy-fve dol
lars pol d.
The labor of cultivation is very ar
duous, and plucking the roses is even
more so, the work being done by wom-
en-, whose hands are torn all to pieces
by the work, and whose pay barely suf-
fees to buy food. Roses have been cul-
tivated in other countries for similar
purpose, but the return is nowhere so
large as in the neighborhoOd of the
, Balkans, where the soil and climate APP
pear exceptionally adapted for the pur-
pose. 1t may be added that the sweet
smell of genuine Turkish cigarette is
the result of adulterating the tobacco
with the refuse from the rosebuds and
cAnllrn
