DIVORCE POPULAR IN EGYPT.

to divorce in Egypt. If mutual admi-

there is nothing more natural to the
Egyptian mind than that the dissatis-

trial
Marriage is universal in Egypt.
There are no old maids; widows re-
main widows but a short time, and,
as rule, no young man is considered
fitted for business or entitled to the
confidence of the community until he
is married. These numerous marriages
and their attendant celebrations make
it extremely interesting for the stran-

through Egypt. Toward the end of the
tourist season, when money Is con-

Treating Wounds.

"If you could see some of the
vicious home treatment applied to
cuts" the young inferno at Bellevue
said. you'd wonder at the compare
lively few cases of tetanus. If play
full mongrel pup snaps at you, the
East Side knows that the only thing
to do is to put some of the hair of
the dog that did the biting-the hair
must be from that particular dog
into the cut. They come with incisions
reeking with all the filth imaginable:
the dirtiest cobwebs from the garret,
for instance, which are even more
popular as poultice than those made
of a chew of tobacco. Two boys came
in recently the same day with cuts
to which cigar butts had been bound
down because, they explained. they
don't chew tobacco. You can't con-
vince the East Side that it's wrong.

For Married Folk,

away to one place. under the pre-

to drink the waters. and send the wife
somewhere else. He declared that In

In "eood Queen Dess," Time.

There is an amusing letter written
by the Earl of Leicester to Lord Bur
leigh as to the lack of sufficiently
strong ale for the queen at Hatfield.
There is not one drop of good drink
for her here. We were fain to send
to London and Kenilworth and divers
other places where ale was; her own
beer was so strong as there was no
man able to drink it,
Ale and bread were the chief items
Of the royal breakfast. The quantity
of ale consumed by ladies' at breakfast
In those days was considerable, for in
the reign of Henry VIII. the maids of
honor were allowed for breakfast "one
chet loaf, one manchet. two gallons Of
ale and a pitcher of wine"

was q chine of beef, loaf and a gal

FARMING FOR CITY CHILDREN.
Woman's Ingenious Plan Which Has
Been Successful.

The problem of how best to interest
the children of big city after school
hours has been solved by New York
woman, according to the Broadway
Magazine. She has startled the city
with unique and ingenious plan, and
despite objections more or less formid-
able, has put her theory into practice
and has achieved a notable success.
Mrs. Henry Parsons has always con-
tended that If you give a child some
individual work to do, and some work
that will not only be fascinating but
instructive, you have no need to worry
about the long idle hours that Satan
finds some mischief for" as the old
saw has it. Seeking around for some
desirable work that would appeal to
childhood, she hit upon farming. She
secured small piece of ground be-
tween Fifty-second street and the Hud-
son river and invited the school chill
dren to come and learn how to be
practical farmers. Each child was
given a small plot and was supplied
with farming implements. The idea
spread, and when the school farm"
opened the following year, Mrs Par
sons was almost swamped by the
crowd of eager applicants for admis-
sion. Then the city authorities took
cognizance of the scheme and voted
funds from the exchequer to help the
good cause. When the farm was
started there were only a few little
toilers with hoe and spade-nowaday
there are several hundred young folks
of both sexes busy at the school farm
from the close of school till sundown.

MAKERS OF SAFES UNEASY.
Modern Science Seems to Have Made
Robbery Trifle.

The confidence of German manufac-
their wares against ordinary safe
blowing operations has been rudely
shaken by the recent achievements Of
single unaided robber in Dresden
and other cities. The details of his
last operation are as follows:
In a hotel a room was secured,
which was situated Immediately above
the office of money changer. At
night hole was pierced in the ceiling
of the office. BY the use of drill and
saw circular piece of the flooring
was easily raised. Beneath lay thick
layer of cement A small orifice was
made in this and an umbrella showed
down into the space below. The UNI
brella was attached firmly from above.
and when opened received without
noise all the fragments Of cement
which were dislodged as the hole was
enlarged SO as to allow of the easy
passage of person. BY means of
rope ladder the descent was readily
made into the office below.
Next the robber brought down two
cylinders Of compressed oxygen and
an acctylene generator charged with
calcium carbide and water. With these
he was able to produce blowpipe
flame of such intensity that steel fuses
in it like lead in an ordinary gas jet.
1t required but brief space of time
to melt away so much of the door
that all the contents of the safe were
accessible.

yellow Jackets Fruit Pest.

Yellow jackets are proving a great
pest to fruit growers this year in the
territory tributary to Tacoma, Wash.
They first attacked red raspberries In
a ravenous way and then as the mum.
bers increased they began devouring
blackberries. Now they are working
on apples and plums. One man said
he counted nine yellow jackets on
single plum. 1t has been suggested
by some that the absence of flowers
during dry seasons compels the yellow
jackets to seek their material for food
supply In fruit.
