AN ANCIENT PYRAMID.
Story Of ''the Tomb of the Christian
In Algeria.

Story ot ''the Tomb of the Christian.
In Algeria.
The tomb of the Christian in Algeria
is 4 pyramid on the summit of 4 hill
more than 700 feet high, at the edge of
the sea. 1t dates back to before the
time of st. Paul, having been built by
order of Juba H., the king OF Maure-
tania, as Il burying place for himself
and his wife, Cleopatra, the daughter
Of Cleopatra and Mark Antony The
only daughter of Juba and his wife
was Drusilla, who married Festus, the
governor of Judaea in the time of st.
Paul. The tomb can be entered by
low doorway beneath one of the four
false doors. These have holdings on
them of Il cruciform shape and may
account for the title, "The Tomb of the
Christian" The passage within the
pyramid winds round and eventually
leads to two chambers shut of from it
by folding doors, which can be moved
up and down by levers. The tomb
must have been rifled of all it contain
ed centuries ago, though some think
lAul Dy tANtlN dllAS III a NiON NV dIu III
rection it might still be possible to dis
cover the burying place of the king
and queen, supposing the two cham
bers, like the false doors outside, to
be a blind. Doubtless the younger
Cleopatra had brought the idea of
making royal mausoleum in the
shape of a pyramid from Egypt. Por-
tions of a marble statue of Egyptian
design were found at Cherchel, sug-
gesting that an Egyptian colony may
once have existed there. There are
two other similar monuments in Al
geria, in the provinces of Oran and
Constantine respectively, the latter be-.
ing considerably older than the tomb
of the Christian. which, however, is
the only one referred to in ancient
writings.-Autocar.

CompostinE Manure.

In intensive farming. truck growing
and the like composing is still in
vogue but human labor is now so ex-
pensive that manure ought to be han
died as little as possible, which means
that it ought to go as directly as pos
sible from the stable to the field. For
the sake of the animals 1t ought not to
be piled close to the stable. 1t costs
too much to haul II twice-once to
some compost heap and then away.
Lime should never be added TO ma
nure heaps This rule is invariable.
Gypsum may be used in the stables or
spread On the tops Of manure piles.
Unrea%ed rock phosphate may be mix
ed with the manure with good results.
Better apply the>manure directly TO
the land where that method is posi-
BILE Use good Judgment in piling the
manure not TO allow too much air to
circulate through the pile. Pack rath-
er than pile loosely. On land to be
sown with corn or rye by all means
spread the manure directly from the
stable. Add neither lime nor potash

THE ELDER TREE.
Once Held In High Esteem as n Cure
For Epilepsy.


Although tradition tells us that II
was on an elder tree that Judas hang
ed himself, great virtue has long been
attributed TO it as u cure for epilepsy
The origin of this belief may be found
in the following quotation from an old
book of charms:
"In the month Of October, little
before full moon, pluck twig of elder
and cut the cane that is between two
of its knees, or knots, in nine pieces.
Bind these pieces in piece of linen,
hang this by thread about the neck
so that they touch the spoon of the
heart, or the sword formed cartilage,
and that they may more firmly stay in
their place bind them thereon with q
linen or silken roller wrapped around
the body till the thread break of itself.
The thread being broken and the roller
removed the charm is not to be touch
ed at all with the bare hands, but
should be taken hold of by some in
strument and buried in a place that
nobody may touch it."
OF course unless the instructions
were followed strictly 4 complete cure
could not be assured. There is another
superstition about the elder which
doubtless has slvcd many 4 boy a
stout caning-namely that it hinders a
childs growth if used as an instru-
ment of punishment-Sunday Maga-
zine.

RAPE FOR FEED.
As soiiing Crop and For Pasture.
May Be Soyvn Late.

As Soiiing Crop and For Pasture.
May Be Soyvn Late.
AS a green feed for soling-that is,
cutting and feeding green-or for pas
ture rape stands unequaled among
crops suitable for swine. 1t should be
sown in rows two feet apart on stub
BILE, fallow or well rotted sod at the
rate of three pounds per acre. 1t may
be sown any time, as long as there re-
main six weeks of growing weather
before severe frosts are to be expect
ed. If intended to be pastured the
pigs should be turned in before the
rape comes up to the top of their
shoulders. No greater area should be
given than they are likely to keep
down to that height or lower. If not
pastured or cut too close to the ground
1t will keep on growing as long as the
growing season lasts. Greater returns
may be expected from soiling than
from pasturing n given area. Feed
ing pigs will generally make more
rapid gains when it is being fed to
them in moderate quantities in pens
than when at pasture on it, Breeding
stock are likely to do better when they
can use it as pasture. Feeding pigs
receiving all the rape they will eat on
rape pasture should receive somewhat
less meal than they would If in their
pens. From one-third to five-sixths of
the regular ration should be fed; the
more rapid the gain desired, of course,
the heavier the ration.-J. II. Grisdale,
Canada.

Pig Sense.

A farmer living down toward Har
wards had a most knowing pig which
he sold to a Little Islander, who took
his prize in q boat to his home at the
island. Safely shut up in the spacious
pigpen was the new inmate of the
family, and the farmer man went
peacefully to rest, much content with
his new purchase. In the morning the
pen was empty and no little pig could
be found on the island. Some time
afterward he went again to town and
there saw the first owner of the lost
one. 1--WE lost my pig" be gloomily
announced. II know it, chuckled his.
friend Hes down to my house; came
back the next morning" What had
that homesick little pig done but swum
across two rivers-the Little Island riv
er and the Kennebec-walked across
Big Little island, trotted happily down
the two miles of road on the Richmond
shore and finally presented himself to
his old master footsore and hungry,
but mighty glad to be home once more.
