The fellow that wrote the follow

to "size up the situation whether
he has been along there or not: 1.-The
kickers on a farm are not as hard to
get along with as the kickers in
towns. On the farm there are the
kicking cow aud our friend, the male,
while in town there is the old moss
back, who wants all the privileges of
municipal living without paying for
them, and blocks so far as he can
every municipal Improvement. The
cow may be sold for beef and the
mule traded for shotgun, but only a
funeral will get rid of a town kicker. "

ufacturer the other day, according to

youth who delights in giving explosive
cigars to his men friends demands
something similar for the candy-con-
suming sex, and we have to meet the
demand.
"The possibilities of a cream choco-
late or piece of nougat are limited,
but we have few contrivances. We
make of very hard candy an imita-
tion of tooth with gold crown, and
hide it in a cream chocolate. You
can imagine the rest-a party of wom-
en- munching candy, one of them dis
covering something hard, and, finding
a gold-crowned tooth loose in her

ANCIENT HIGH PRIEST FOUND.
Mummy of Egyptian Buried 1000
YeNrs Ago Jnearthed by
German Explorers.

The German Oriental society has
been most successful in its explora-
tions at Abu-Sir in Egypt, and most in
teresting finds" were distributed
among the Berlin museums during the
month of October. One of the most inn
portant discoveries was a perfectly
preserved mummy of Jen En- Jechyet,
the high priest of the temple, who died
about 1000 years before Christ. The
body was found in family vault,
which also contained the remains of
his priest and reader and their wives.
Only three tombs of such an age
have been found in good preservation
during the last century, and this is the
first time that the contents have been
brought safely to Europe. Jen lay in
his coffin, enveloped in brown linen
shroud, just as he had been placed
there 1000 years ago. In accordance
with the fashion of the time, he has
small side whiskers, and longer tuft
on his chin, and his eyes are made to
appear unnaturally long by means of
the careful application of rouge. The
wig, which is large and parted down
the middle, has blush tint verging
on green, and must originally have
been the color of lapis lazuli, in imita-
tion Of the hair worn by Egyptian
gods.
The mummy was lying slightly on
the left side, says the London Anti
quarry, as Egyptians sleep to-day and
the head rested on a support such as is
still in use in the Sudan. The eyes are
turned toward the rising sun. Two
staifs were found beside the body, and
little wooden statue.

WAS AN AMBITIOUS MAN.
With His Hand He Tried to Push the
Big Gun FIotilla Away
from Him.

When the big 16-inch gun was towed
to Sandy Hook the great floating der
rick Monarch and the lighter Captain
Tom carried the weight, while the
powerful wrecking steamer, 1. j. Mer-
ritt, did the pulling.
The the government dock the Mer-
ritt dropped behind the other vessels
and pushed them in against the pier,
at the end of which an insignificant lit
tie pile driver was tied up. The huge
Monarch swung close to the pile driver
and a man boarded the latter, fearing
the pile driver was in danger of be-
ing crushed, and with no idea of the
eternal fitness of things, reached out
and tried to push the derrick, float,
gun and steamer all away at the same
time. 1t was like a fly trying to
kick down a mountain.
Out of the pilot house of the Mer-
ritt the captain stuck his head, says
the New York Mail and Express, and,
in vioce so tremendous that it shat
tered the atmosphere, roared at the
man on the pile driver:
Don't bother. Well make a line
fast to keep the derrick there. You
can't hold it,"

Illinois Grange Ideas.

We in Illinois contine the member
ship of our oranges very closely to
farmers. We admit schoolteachers
when they teach in the country and are
closely connected with country life,
but we have never been in the habit
of taking in members who are not eli
gible in the strictest construction of the
term.
l notice great deal of difference in
that matter in the different states
where the national grange holds its ses-
sions. In New England especially
there are many admitted to member
ship who are in business and profes-
sional life and not strictly farmers.
This helps to make the national meet
ings interesting, as in each place we
go we find a different variety of men,
bers and in consequence a variety in
the work that is done.
In one section of the country one
department of work is made prominent
and another in some other state. This

agriculture speaks of the grange as
factor in agricultural education as fol-
lows: The second half Of the nineteenth
century has witnessed great awak-
ening of the farmers of this country to
their educational needs and opportunl-
ties. This has led to the broadening of
the work and influence Of the general
agencies for their education. The state
and local societies have been supple
mented by great national organizations
such as the Patrons Of Husbandry,
which, besides doing n great deal for
the promotion Of their general welfare,
have done much to quicken the desire
of multitudes of farmers for definite

only these matters be pushed before the

that cighty-scven new subordinate

Aud loving wisdom OF the heart.
Your unanointed eyes shall fall
On him who ILLS my world with light;

You see what hides him from your sight
see the feet that fain would climb;
You but the steps that turn astray;
