According to NJ. Neymarck, the noted
French statistician, the number of
French citizens possessing estates eX-
ceeding 100000 is under thirty,
while those possessing estates over
100000 but under 100000 in value
is about q hundred. Between 500 and
900 persons possess fortunes averaging
from 100000 to 100000. Some 1000
persons in France possess fortunes Of
between 100000 and under 100000.
About 1900 French citizens are mil
lionaires" In the French sense of the
word-namely. possessing owe 10000
and up to $4,000. Going lower down
the scale, 1t Is estimated that 262,O 900

Our Beer and Germany.

generations looked upon in every quar-
ter Of the globe as the special realm Of
Gambrinus, the drinkers Of beer must
be %astonished to learn that in 1903 the
Teutonic brewers made only !, 7S7,61l-
600 gallons of malt beverages, or 1885,
0S5,230 less than the quantity produced
in the United States. OF course it is
not to be forgotten that the population
Of this republic is much larger than
that of the dominions of Kaiser Will
helm, yet nevertheless it cannot be dis
ruted that those are suggestive figures.

MYSTERY OF THE SPHINX.
stone Enignn of the Desert Ia
the God of Morning.


Scientists of Washington confirm the
reports which have been in circulation
recently to the effect tina the mystery
surrounding the sphinx has been solv-
ed. AT the Smithsonian institution 1t
is said that the stone enigma of the
desert Is nothing more Than a gigantic
image of I~a-lIarmachis. the god OF
morning and the c%onqueror of dark
ness; hence 1t faces tie east. This dis
covery was made recently by means
of the inscriptions that We're found on
the walls of ii temple which was I'M
earthed by e%Ncavators.
Scholars uncovered the foundations
of the great statue and have brought
to light many interesting features
! which until recently We're unknown.
The temple surrounding the base was
intended for the worship of Harmachis
and several chambers hewn in the rock
We're the tolnbs of kings and priests
devoted To his worship. In 1896 there
was discovered a stone cap with IA
sacred asp carved on the forehead,
which once covered the head of the
sphinx like Il royal helmet and must
have added immensely to its grandeur,
particularly if it was gilded, as it is
believed 1t was.
The sphinx is not m Independent
structure. The body and head are actu-
ally hewn out of the solid rock, out
much sandstone masonry was built in
to make the outlines perfect and to
cover any defects In the material. This
reinforcement of the original rock is
now very apparent to a close observer,
but originally it IA concealed, for
scientists believe that the entire image
was one covered with enamel. In
deed, 1t Is possible even now to find
fragments still adhering to the surface
| which resemble porcelain tiles found in
tombs and the ruins of the ancient
palaces. Several private collectors
and some museums have large blocks
of most brilliant coloring and artistic
design, and from them we can imagine
what an imposing spectacle the great
statue must have been before the Per
slams and the Mohammedans destroyed
it's glory.
While it Is still an impressive picture,
it has no beauty whatever. The nose,
the lips and other features have been
mutilated by vandals. = Washington

The Horn FIV.

The horn fly that 80 annoys cattle
while at pasture is an unmitigated pest.
Insect pests of sweeping damage to
agriculture, appear, work their mischief
for a time, and then through natural
enemies are destroyed, or so held at bay
by the intelligence of man that the dam
age is not overpowering. The horn fly
appears with the annual advent of sum-
mer heat, works its mission of injury
through the season, to appear again in
the same role the next year. Thus far
no natural enemy has appeared to inter
iere with its multiplication nor has the
knowledge of man been equal to the
task of defeating its mission OF damage
to the cattle industry. Repellants have
been compounded and offered to stock
owners that afford temporary relief
from their presence, but so far none OF
them are destructive agent. A repel-
lent that to be effective must be renew
ed each day affords no relief to the cat
tie running in distant pastures. 1t is
with cattle that cannot be returned to
the barn each night where this fly works
the most damage. There is no relief
from its presence during the night. As
the result the growth of young cattle at
pasture is greatly retarded, and owners
are not now realizing anything like the
gain at pasture that was realized before
the appearance of this pest. Working
teams and cattle daily taken to the barn
may be measurably well protected by a
daily application of these repelling
sprays, but nothing has yet been pro-
vided that is practicable for a protec-
ton to cattle at pasture.-Maine Farmer.

Pressing Work.

However important to push the hay
ing to a finish in the shortest time pos
sible the weeds in the corn, potatoes
and other crops must not be neglected.
There is time when these enemies to
bountiful crops can be destroyed with
the least possible outlay of labor. II
that time is allowed to pass without the
work being attended to the cost of final
ly clearing the crops will be greatly in
creased, or if the weeds are entirely
neglected the damage to the crops will
be far more than the cost of clearing, II
it had been done at the proper time.
Therefore, however much the haying
NAV drive, there will be less damage to
delay the cutting of the grass for day
or two than to neglect the destruction
of the rapidly growing weeds at the
time when it could be done at least out
Law. There is no middle ground for
compromise with the weeds. Wherever
they are found and whenever they appear
their destruction is of the first impor-
tance.
With the present popular cry for the
substitution of machine work on the
farm for hand labor We regret to see q
growing indifference to the presence OF
weeds. When depending on the harrow,
the broadcast weeder and the cultivstor
for the principal work of weed destruc-
ton, it appears to be an easy matter to
grow Indifferent to the few weeds these
horsepower tools fail to destroy. But
clean culture should be the practice.
The hand hoe should still have place
where needed. No farmer can afford to
divide his crops with the weeds.-Maine

Preparing for Fall Seeding.

II will soon be time to plow and pre-
pare ground for fall seeding. For the
past four years l have cut the hay on the
ground which l intended to seed the
first of haying. In that way have a
chance to use the team in dull or cloudy
days, plowing and narrowing. Some
may think it untimely to plow in July,
but so far since commenced the prac-
tice of fall seeding l have found no
trouble in accomplishing the work.
On many farms there are moist pieces
or back fields that are hard to work in
the spring, but in some cases they are
the best grass land on the farm, when
properly worked. Any one who has
never tried it will be surprised to see
how quickly the old turf will decay and
how light and friable the soil will be-
come by frequent working.
The first of September is as late as !
think advisable to SOW the seed, but II
the ground is not planted in the early
part of July there will not be time to
get it in proper condition, as the same
number of times over with the harrow,
if done all at one time just before seed
ing, will not accomplish the good that
the same work will if ifrepeated at inter-
walls through July and August.
Try small piece, and put part OF
your dressing direct to the grass crop.
Ten good two-horse loads or fifteen
hundred pounds of high grade fertilizer
will give good results.-Cor. in Maine

To protect Horses From Flies.

Helen NJ. Richardson, of Waltham,
Mass, makes this timely suggestion in
Agricultural Epitomist:
Take two or three small handfuls OF
walnut leaves, or pennyroyai, on which
pour two or three quarts of cold water;
let it infuse one night, pour the whole
next morning into kettle, and boil for
fifteen minutes; when cold it is fit for
use. Moisten sponge with it, and be-
fore the horse goes out of the stable, let
those parts which are most irritable be
smeared over with the liquid. Those
who are brutal enough to dock the tails
of their horses, should at least be will
ing to take little pains to keep them
comfortable by protecting them from
those insects their tails were intended
to'brush away, and even horses fortunate
enough to remain as nature intended
thew should be fashioned, will greatly
appreciate this thoughtful care.

Big Missouri Corn Crop.

"You could almost hear the corn crop
grow this week. With bit Of rain now
and then, and the sun, the crops in
these parts will be long way ahead OF
the average"
This remark was made here recently
by J. C. Low, an elevator man whose
business requires him to be in close
touch with grain production. From
accounts from Northern Missouri the
corn will be up to standard, which is a
remarkable showing in view OF the
tenacity with which the cold weather
clung to the skirts of spring. Oats,
timothy and clover never looked better
and are now several points above the
average.
JIG. YETI, a real estate man, who
went through several northern counties
this week, said: 1.-THE people there
will have corn crop that will beat any
thing they have raised recently. 1t is
as high as your head and the stalks are
strong and maturing rapidly under the
torrid sun. Tribune Farmer.
