bearing the burdens Of the east for count
less centuries. Even the pictures and
bieroglyphics in the tombs Of the Egyp-
tians of 1000 years ago bear testimony to
the burdens he bore in those ancient days.
No wonder he never smiles: he has seen
kingdoms rise and fall, but during all
the years his hard lot has not changed
and has not improved; no wonder he Is
gloomy and gives utterance to melancholy
lamentations. When william j. bryan
was in Egypt in 1906. his big heart no
doubt was touched by the condition of the
donkey, and in a philosophic and states
manlike way, made the following obser-
walton about him: "A large part OF his

dens which he was called upon to carry"

HINTS TO MOTHERS

Purchase an ordinary pine table, cut the
legs off to half lengths and paint them
any desired color. Cover the top with
green felt, holding the cloth edge down
on the table edges with ornamental bass
tacks, as large as dime, placed about 10
inches apart. A table of this description
is nice for children to use in playing
games. 1t is not an unattractive piece OF
furniture, and is convenient many times
for various purposes.
A smart and practical apron for the
small girl is made in one piece. The ma
terial is doubled and the sides gored to
fit them faced, for the edges are not join
ed At the top the neck is cut in small
square, large enough to admit the head
Buttons and buttonholes are sewed to
the edges below the waist line and when
secured hold the apron in place. When
Numbered it can be laid flat. Neck and
armhOles are finished with a trimming.
