MAKING BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW

Although there is a necessary skepticsm
re certain things that appear in the Biblical
history of the sojourn in the land of Egypt,
TO deny the real use of straw in the bricks
of the Israelites is strange, not to say con-
trary to contemporary proof. In 1880, when
NaVilie discovered and eXcaVated in Pit
HON, an exceedingly interesting fact was
brought to light The bricks in the store
chambers we're of three qualities; those in
the lowest part of the wall were found to
be full of chopped straw used much in the
same way as we use hair in plaster to-
day., those in the middle were embedded
with reeds which are to this day found In
the Nile, and translated in the Bible stub
ble"; at the highest part exposed, the
bricks lacked all these and were entirely
composed of Nile mud.-Jewfsh Chronicle

Some Oldtime sayings.

Everybody knows some old sayings
which few of us perhaps believe in
our hearts. Yet, although We do not
believe them, still we are interested
in them, and as often as not follow
the directions Notwithstanding that
we may scoff at the results. AS, for
instance. most people pick up a pin
when they see 1t, but they do not
cherish any hope Of the action affect
ing their luck. When our ears burn
We say some one is speaking OF us;
perchance we think We speak truly.
probably we do not.
Here, however, are some other old
time sayings given for what they are

utes in this way, then another rub
bing must be given to drive the oil
into the pores. After this there must
be a thorough brushing, using long
bristles that will go through the hair
and reach the scalp
The whole treatment will take at
least ten and probably fifteen or
twenty minutes at night, and it is not
to be thought that all the oil will be
absorbed by the scalp in this time.
To the contrary, much will remain
and the head will not look neat.
Nevertheless, if necessary, it may be
tied in a thin bandage for the night.
Oil in quantities it must have, and in
the morning If more oil can be alb
sorbed it should be applied. The
locks are then twisted closely but not
tightly around the back of the head
and the various switches affected by
fashion are pinned on to completely
cover the natural tresses.
Unpleasant as this treatment may
seem, 1t is the only one that will ex-
pedite the return to natural color.
To dry hair after II has been bleached
is to make the trouble worse.-Mar-

Cultivation of Sweet Ecns.

If sweet peas are to be cultivated
In rows, it is a good plan to draw a
broad, flat-bottomed drill, about a
foot or eighteen inches wide On no
account should it be concave. The in
evitable result of this would be to
crush the seed into the centre of the
shallow drill and. to cause overcrowd-
ing. Thin sowing, however, can be
carried out with perfect ease If the
drill is fit. If clumps are to be grown
the same rule should be observed
the bottom of the circular trench
should be perfectly fiat. How far
apart should each seed be 2"
is the next question that arises. If
the seed is sound, and if there is,
therefore, a reasonable certainty of
termination, each seed should be set
at least nine inches from its neigh
Dor. One famous grower invariably
sows one foot apart. and he declares
that he has rarely had a failure. If
the average amateur gardener strikes
this happy medium, however, and
does not allow his seeds to be less
than six inches apart, he will prob
ably have no cause to complain of the
result.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Wedding ReceptioDs,

Women do not remove their hats
at formal afternoon receptions. Hats
should not be worn in the evening.
There should be maids in attendance
, take care of wraps. The bride does
not furnish carriages except for her
immediate party. Guests provide
their own. The matron of honor and
bridesmaid help receive guests, stand
ing next to the parents of the BRIDE
groom. If you take a friend with
you, only the most formal introduce
tion is required, and you do not re-
main to talk with the receiving line.
Nothing more than congratulations
to the newly married couple are re-
quired, except a friendly greeting to
their respective parents. If the re-
ception includes a dance and supper,
the guests go to the dancing floor i'm

A Rhode Island Red Talk.

A friend said to the writer the
other day:
"Geer, what do you know about
the Rhode Island Reds, where did
they come from anyhow, and where
did they get the drag they have on
the poultry fraternity" Our reply
to one section of his compound ques-
tion was prompt:
Rhode Island, of course, up there
in Yankeeland where they made the
Barred Plymouth Rocks, dressed
down the Leghorns, Brown, White
and Black, and struck out of a piece
of marble the beautiful White Wyan-
dotte."
In general, however, his question
perpleyed us, for We do not know as
much about the Rhode Island Reds
as we should like to know. But we
do know that in the matter of color
it is necessary to breed very closely
to the standard in order 70 make ad-
vancement in a fixed red color for
the breed. It will not dc, If one
wants to raise clear rcd birds, to
breed from fowls with White or smut

even shade of red, with no white and
no smut, will not fade to the lighter
color as she advances in age, like one
that is less clearly red, or one that
has defects in the way of smut, etc.
In fact, in breeding Reds, we
should select the pullet that shows no
smut adown the back in the under
feathers, and which has no tendency
to light blotches in the heavier feath-
ers. One that is a good, clear red TO
the skin, with a glowing, clear red
cast in the sunshine. This kind of a

have a well defined reddish cast TO
her plumage, and will not run to a

that Mrs. Jesusa Agnes Ellsworth,
grandmother, made love to him and
even promised to settle set amount
of money on him after their marriage.
The two met about three years ago
and became friends. Bower alleged
that Mrs Ellsworth wrote him en-
dearing letters and that they visited
a hotel in Clifton, where they occu-
pied separate rooms and he was de-
scrlbed as Mrs. Ebsworth's nephew.
There was testimony that Mrs. Ebs-
worth paid the bills. Mrs. Ellsworth
denied she ever agreed to marry the
young man and said that the letters
Bower put in evidence were written by
her as joke to the young man. She
says that after he proposed marriage
to her she ordered him never to speak
to her. The jury, however, thought
the young mans feelings had been
wounded.-New York Press.

Woman to Woman,

The woman who for any reason
cannot get on with women is prepar-
ing for herself lonely old age. She
may be beautiful, witty, a favorite
with the men, yet there are times
when she realizes that in one sense
she is a failure. She asks herself
whether one of the most tangible
forms of success is not to get on with
people. And the greater success-as
she also begins to Observes to get
on with women. To get on with men
is much less distinguished, for the
odds are all in her favor. Men are
not critical in their attitude toward
her, and respond quickly to atten-
tion or kindness, seldom questioning
the motives underlying either, as
members of her own sex are prone
to do, says Woman's Life. 1t seems
impossible for certain class of wo-
men to be fair to women; ergo, it is
equally impossible for them to get on
with other women.

bleaching their hair to discontinue

be completely covered with it during
the period that the tresses are re-
gaining their natural shade.
Times without number I am asked
by my correspondents how they can
restore color, having changed it by
dyes, and my only answer it by mas
sage, brushing and a copious use of
oils. The last, perhaps the most i'm
portant, is manifestly impossible
when ones own hair must show, but
when false pieces are used the head
may be deluged and the oil will not
show.
The chief injury done the hair
through dyeing or bleaching is the
drying of natural oils until the locks
starve or become so crisp they break
constantly.
Oil is the best method of nourish-
ing, as massage is best to drive it into
the pores. Incidentally, massage
stimulates circulation. Ordinary
tonics--that is, those for ordinary
conditions of the scalp-will be in
efficacious. A combination of sweet
almond oil, putting half an ounce of
tincture of cantharides to eight
ounces of the oil, is helpful. Almond
oil is also nourishing.

that is, literally poured over the
scalp. 1t is impossible that too much

should be pressed with the finger tips,
