Egyptian God Identified.

The Egyptians had a crowded pam
theon, as is well known. In it many
animals had a place, and, likewise.
many of its gods in human shape were
provided with animal heads: Horus
had the head of a hawk; Sebak that Of
a crocodile, Bast that of a cat, and SO
forth. Among them all was one god
who has been a thorn in the side Of
archaeologists. This was Set, the
brother and the murderer of Osiris.
In spite of his reprehensible action,
Set was deified, and tradition declares
that he was expelled from Egypt and
became king of the deserts. His
statues show him in human form with
the head Of an animal unknown to
science. The discovery Of the okapi
by Sir Harry Johnston in Uganda has
led a German a~rchaeologist to identify
the head of the Egyptian god with
that of that zebra-like animal, and
then to solve the long-standing enigma!
Truly the sciences are related when
geological discovery lends a helping
hand to archaeology! The okapi eve
inhabited Egypt, though it was, no
doubt, known to the Egyptians: it wal
the king Of the neighboring deserts

Summer Bedding.


Too many farmers have an idea that
little bedding is needed by either horses
or cows during the summer. They take
the stand that the bedding would be
too warm for the animals. This is nom
sense, for the horse, especially, needs
clean bedding during the months when
it perspires freely from labor. Any
material may be used for summer bed
ding that is used during the winter, but
the bedding should be removed from
the stalls each morning, and any that
is to be put back should be thoroughly
aired. Sawdust is good for bedding.
and will not be injurious to the soil pro-
vided it is mixed on the compost heap
with manure and q certain amount OF
hay or straw bedding, SO that when it
is applied to the soil it will not be too
hard to distribute. Many farmers use
weeds for summer bedding, and there
is no objection to this if they are not
used when in seed SO that when thrown
on the manure pile the seeds will be
kept in full terminating power to make
trouble later when placed on the farm.
Bed the animals as carefully and as
clearly during the summer as during
the winter and they will be all the bet
ter for the good care. = indianapolis

RUSSIA LIMITS PASSPORTS
Signers Of Kishinef Petition May Not
Travel in Her Territory.
MANILA TO LOSE ITS CONSULATE


State Department Notified That Only in
Four Cities Hereafter Will Passports
to Russia BE Signed by Her Consular
Representatives-It is Believed Count
Washington, d. C.-Russia has made
an unexpected move, which is accepted
here that she has decided on retalia-
tory measures as a result of the Kishi-
neff petition, and that there will be a
more strict examination of Americans
who intend to travel in Russia.
Acting Secretary Loomis was mott.
fed by the Russian Charge that here
after passports issued to American citi-
zens who expect to visit Russia will be
vised only at the Russian Embassy in
Washington and the C~onsulates in New
York, Chicago and San Francisco.
This cuts off Savannah, Mobile. Pensa-
cola, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Port
land, Ore, Galveston and Manila, at all
of which ports passports have hereto
fore been Endorsed by the Russian con-
suls or agents.
The new order came from st. Peters
burg. MI. LOOMS was not told why 1t
was issued, and was left to guess its
real purpOrt. One reason assigned by
State Department officers is that the
Gar has decided to reduce expenses
by abolishing the ~consulates at the
ports at which passports will be NO
longer vised. This sweeping reduction
in Russia's consular representation in
the United States would in itself be a
slap which diplomats especially would
be quick to recognize.
The real reason is believed to be the
determination by Russia to exercise o
much more strict. supervision over
Americans who want to travel in that
country, with a view to shutting out all
of the prominent people who took a
leading part in the demonstrations in
behalf of the prosecuted Jews follow
ing the Kishinef massacre. This en-
barge may even extend to all the sign
ers of the Kishinef petitions so far as
their names can be ascertained. The
largest demonstrations were held In
Washington, New York, Chicago and
San Francisco, and the Russian consul

Passports issued by the State De-
partment for travel in Russia are of no
value unless they bear the Endorsement
of some Russian consular representa-
tive who has the necessary authority.
Any consul can refuse to indorse a
passport for any reason or for none at
all, and eve Secretary Hay or the
President cannot ask him why. His
refusal to wise the passport ends all ar
gument.
The belief that Count Cassini will
not return to this country as Russian
Ambassador or in any other capacity
is growing. Mail gossip from st. Pet
ersburg speaks Of Alexander Isvolsky
as his probable successor. The same
adyices hint that the United States may
be deprived of the presence Of any Rus
sian Ambassador for some time. MI.
Isvolsky was until recently Russian
Minister to Japan, and until the Count
Cassini's return was said to be slated
for the Danish mission. He was for
merly one of the Secretaries of the
Embassy in Washington.

RACE MURDER BY MOTHERS:
Endorsement of DIR. W~oodward's View AZ
to Neglect Of Infants.

Washington, d. CDR. George N.
Acker, visiting physician at the Chill
dren's Hospital, fully agrees with DR..
William C. Woodward, Health Officer
Of the District, that race murder is be-
ing committed here through the care
iessness and negligence Of mothers.
1.-THE mortality Of infants is a matter
of grave concern to the public. The
death rate is SO abnormal that the
question a no longer be put aside
without comment. A remedy is needed.
That remedy must be provided by the
people themselves.
without a shadow of doubt the con
ditions are due to the improper feeding
Of children. The chief fault lies in the
careless use of milk-impure milk is
death to an infant.
"But this is not all. The basic trou-
BILE is invariably found in the ignorance
of the mother, who knows nothing and
cares nothing about the proper nour-
ishment of children. 1t is their wilful
neglect and lamentable ignorance that
results in the excessive death rate
and race murder"

OUTDOOR FEEDER FOR BEES.

honey is fed it should be thinned by
adding one-third water and should be
given at a temperature of about sew
enty degrees. A shallow pan made of
gal, Rnized iron two feet wide by three
feet long and three inches deep is very
satisfactory. The float, as shown in il
lustration, should be one-fourth inch
less in size than feeder, made Of lath
placed one-eighth inch apart.
If feeding has to be done in the hive
and there are no frames Of honey, some
kind of a feeder is necessary. Where
a small quantity is to be fed the en-

which, all considered, is perhaps the
best. This saves all the neat of the
hive, brings the feed neal the cluster
and reduces the robber question to the
minimum.
All covers should fit close and be
waterproof. Moisture means cold, and
heat is what is wanted now. Each hive
should have some kind Of a warm COW
ering or quilt under the board cover to
prevent radiation and yet allow all
steam from the cluster to escape. Some
colonies should have their hives con-
tracted by division boards until it is
suited to their needs. This can be
gradually enlarged as more room is
needed. Q~ueenless colonies should be
united with those having queens. The
best way to do this is by setting them
over one having q queen with a board
OF quilt with q small hole in II, say, me

brood all will o be below. If there
is brood this should be put below first.

Bee Work in the Spring.

Three things are vital at the spring
time Of year-food. warmth and shell
ter. Neglect any one of these and you
are counting failure. The kind of food
is not so imncSt;nt as it is for winter
food, but Nance is the watch
word. Nj f honey that would
not do a tier feed can now
be utilize and profit. Thin
honey, ID &oney which has
been spoiled by any means from being
fit for the table, can be used. 1t would
not do to feed so much Of this kind Of
honey that it would be stored in the SUI
pers, but feed just enough so it will all
be used in brood rearing, and you can
save what would otherwise be a loss.
There should not only be plenty of food
in the hives for daily use but a surplus
of enough to last two weeks to guard
against bad weather and to get each
queen to do her best in the way of egg
production.
The best of all ways to feed is by put
ting in frames well filled with honey,
but there are times when this cannot
be done, and We therefore have to do
the next best thing. Where your own
bees are the only ones in the neighbor-
hood outdoor feeding can be done, but
it has its objections ven when there
are no bees but the home apiary to
bother. Robbing frequently results
and the strongest or the ones that need
it least are apt to get the most. Care
and thought will overcome some of
these objections.
To feed out Of doors a broad shallow
feeder provided with a float, to keep
bees from drowning, is essential. If
