WHEN Is A WOMAN OLDs

rms query on my mirror hung:
When is a woman old?'
1t clings to me. and long has clung-
The answer must be toldi
All, some are old before half way.
And some are never old
For these but laugh lifes cares away.
While those both fret and scoldi
And yet ii is no easy task
However we'll controlled.
To answer one, if she should ask:
Nv hen is a woman old?'
The younger ones never ask YOU. sir.
The answer to unfold
The older ones only ask you, sir:
when is a woman old?'
Conceited ones are never so
Unhappy ones too soon;
But wise ones love lifes morning glow,
And prize its afternoon.
The graceful old ones are still young,
And those alone are old
Who try to make themselves look yOuns
When age has taken hold.
The old in years who live among
Those younger in their hearts,
Will find themselves remaining young
Long after youth departs
AS long as women cling to youth,
And disregard their age,
They never can be old forsooth-
Their youth fills up the page.
Yes, some are old before their time
Old age usurDs their youth;
And some are young beyond their prime
Unless they hide the truth.

having made fortune by his great

Hardwood Floors.

To make a wax for polishing hard
wood floors cut one pound of beeswax
into small pieces, put them in a dish
and place il over the fire in a pan of
hot water. Allow the wax to melt and
then stir in three pints of turpentine
When the ingredients have thoroughly
blended place some of the wax on a
woolen cloth and rub it on the floor,
treating one board at a time and rub
bing lengthwise. Then cover a heavy
brush with flannel and with it rub the
floor until it is perfectly smooth 1t
is usually the case that some parts
of the floor are subject TO more wear
than others. When the polish has worn
off in these spots. warm the wax and

The Population of Egypt.

The vital statistics of Egypt, pub
lished by the Lancet" are full of mat
ter for reflection. In the first place, the
rate Of increase can be paralleled in no
European country at any period since
records have been kept. 1t represented
1.79 per cent. in the year 1S94.-births
reaching nearly ~ per thousand, while
deaths only reached n per thousand
If there be any fraud in the return, it
must go to diminish the asserted in
crease, not to enlarge it, for the motive
would be to evade conscription. A
death rate of only, "a per thousand in
country which ignores sanitation is
startling, but the wonder grows i'm
measurably when we observe that in
Alexandria and Cairo, where laws of
health are enforced as strictly as may
be, deaths represent Sc per cent. of the
births, while in the rural districts they
are but 81 per cent. 1t is the conse-
quences, however, which interest us In
1894 the population of Egypt below the
second cataract was estimated at
5000, 900; the census of 1889 showed
6,4tD, 40. A rise of million and half
in twelve years. Authorities have hes
itated hitherto to credit the popula-
ton of 12,000O00 in the time of Ra-
meses H., which Champollin and the
French savants made out upon such
evidence as they could find. But these
extraordinary returns made it quite
probable. The land under cultivation
then was vastly more extensive than
now. But the encroachment of the
desert can be repelled, If an irrigation
system equal to that of old be once
more established. Egypt, therefore, has
boundless area for expansion. But If
the people there multiply at such rate
under the pax Britannica, so they must
in varying degrees elsewhere and not
in all our colonies is there surplus land
for them TO occupy. But meanwhile
the birth rate Of Europe steadily lowers.

three animals which the majority of the
wild beast performers have a wholesome
and not unnatural dislike to. Some of
M. Martins methods appear to have
been curious. Having on one OCCASION
to interview a hyena, Martin wrapped
his legs and arms with cords, protected
his head with handkerchiefs and other
things, and, walking into the cage, went
to the hyena and offered it his arm. The
hyena bit it, of course, but Martin
looked on stolidly, as though nothing
had happened. Next day he substituted
leg, and so the training went on till
either the hyena got tired of biting or
was so disgusted at seeing no results
that he gave it uD
M. Albert of Havre, too, was another
famous man in his calling, and distin-
guished himself on one occasion. when
he found quarrel going on among the
bears, by walking straight in among
them and separating the fighters; but
George Sanger once did about as plucky
thing as ever was known. The lions
and lioness were having a terrific
fight in their cage, and the battle ragged
SO furiously that neither Crockett nor
II.
Mr.. Sanger, however, was equal to the
occasion, and, going in among the COM
batants, succeeded in restoring peace at
last. But if Crockett, who was a very
able trainer, showed a slight loss of
nerve on that occasion, he made up for
it on another, when a groom tampered
with the fastenings of the lions cage at
Astley's, in the hope that the occupants
would kill one or more of the horses. in
order that he might be revenged on the
management for some fine inflicted. A
night watchman, hearing a noise in the
auditorium, soon discovered the cause,
and message was sent to Crockett at
his lodgings hard by. The tanner ar
rived, and, going into the auditorium
with small switch, succeeded in a
very short time in recaging his pupils

r1eeting the Occasion.

1t was the practice of a certain Lon
don editor, some years ago to write his
leading articles at home the night be-
fore publication. The rest of the week
he did nothing. One night his articles
had not come to hand at the Office. Ten
o'clock came; II, II. and still no sign
of an article. There was commotion in
the office: and at last messenger was
sent to the editors house. He found
him with a glass of brandy and water
before him, and newspapers scattered
about. There was no article written.
What do you want?" asked the editor.
The article for tomorrow" Didn't
I send it?'' NO at least it has not
come to the office" Give me the
Times" The Times" was found and
handed to him, and with unsteady fin
gers he cut out one of its leading arti-
cles. This he stuck upon a sheet of
paper, and then, taking his pen wrote
at the top: What does the Times
mean by this?' In that form and
with that introduction, it appeared next
morning as the editors leading article.

The joy of the poor exiles may be we'll
imagined by those familiar with the
Atlantic trip. Even in these days,

months in what nowadays we should
hesitate TO navigate the Sound in. Gov

as mot a little JOYFUL which is elo

Unfamiliar with the coast, the mas

chiefs, resolved to tack about ship and
stand south, to seek some place near
the Hudson River for their habitation.
But after holding on this course for
some time the master was intimidated
by the numerous shoals and rocky
coast and turned back toward the
cape, finally reaching the cape harbor
in safety on November 11th.
Being thus arrived the narrative

sixteen of the passengers, headed by
Captain Standish. They We're all well

Finally after many DAYS recon-

place now known as Plymouth as a
suitable settlement, and on November
25th (Forefathers' Day) they began to
erect the first habitations for the col

of the pilgrims landed on Plymouth
