LIaht on Ancient Days.

Until recently the exploration of the Sudan was impossible, owing to the attitude of the natives, but last year the excavations of Meroe, the ancient capital of Ethiopa, was com nenced. Perhaps the most important result of the early work will be the addition of Ethiopian to our knowl- edge of languages which have ceased to exist. A large number of inscrip- ton in hieroglyphic and cursive writ ing have been found, and it has been discovered that the unknown language is based on an alphabetical system a circumstance which will make the deciphering of the inscriptions much easier than was the case with the Hit tite language, which has occupied Pro lessor Sayce 30 years.

Simple living.

4 Frenchwoman has given 1t as her opinion that if the Englishwomen would take more honest pleasure in the work of cooking, discuss it more, and be more vitally interested in it, trey would very speedily cast off the accusation of thriftlessness. And no doubt she is right. It is our unnat- ural use of time and energy, making dress, amusement and sport the chan nels which drain away our best pow CTS, that leave so little of either for what ought rightly to be looked upon as "the sweet and necessary labor of the day." preventing us from seeing clearly how we may attain to the truly simple life. When we have put the essential things of life into their right place, the non-essentials may be safely left to take care of themselves,

 There is a generally accepted be- lief that husbands desert wives sole ly because of domestic discord or be- cause the love of the husband has waned. It can be said in contradiction of this that while assertions do often result from such cause. the number is insignificant compared with the de sertions impelled by inability of the husbands to support their families in the style they believe to be absolutely imperative by reason of their social status.
 Comparatively few men," MT. Des- mond declared, deliberately desert their wives with the intention of never being reunited: few plan to re- main away forever. Most husbands who flee from city homes recover their mental equilibrium and wake to consciousness of their position when they bring up amid new surroundings. Then hope revives. Then courage re- turns They look around with view to getting new start. They plan to rebuild their fortunes. All this with the ultimate object of returning to the old home and loved ones or bringing their families to them in new home But with many the castle in Spain plans go awry; things refuse to work out right These hapless deserters- domestic derelicts-move from one place to another. Their habits Of home life are broken. They become living, indisputable proof of the old adage that the way to destruction is paved with good intentions.

One on Lloyd eeorne.


 A joke on Lloyd George. the chan cellor of the exchequer, is going round the London newspaper offices. An arctic explorer recently ap- preached him with a view to obtain ing treasury assistance tor an expedi- tion he had planned. Lloyd George replied that the proper course for the applicant to adopt was fist to obtain help from outside bodies of citizens. such as the stock excha -ge, and then to apply, if necessary, to the govern ment
 The explorer withdrew but was quickly back in the cLancellor's of flee.
 Have you been successful" asked Lloyd George.
 Partly so," replied the explorer.
 How much money lave you got from the stock exchange?"
 "Only $50" came the answer, Out with the prospect of a great deal more on conditions which require the cooperation of the chancellor of the exchequer."
 What are those conditions?"
 There were two" said the tray eler. One was that they would make it f25,0UO if I took you with me to the pole. and e5O.OOO if I left you there"

CHANGING SEED FOR GRAIN
No Necessity for Substitution, Ac- cording to Records Kept by Varl-
 ous Experiment Stations.

The records of Experiment Stations 10 not show a necessity for changing seed grains to produce good and satis- factory yields. On the contrary, these records show that as a new seed be comes adapted to a locality and its environments, the yield has increased. with a tendency to improvement in quality. These results have been at tained by careful cleaning and grad ing each year. More than thousand varieties of grains have been tested at the Minnesota station and 1t has become a matter of common observa- tion that new varieties from distant sources seldom gain satisfactory re- suits until they become well acclimat- ed.''
 Observation and experiment further show that the degeneration of varie- ties-or the so-called running out results from careless selection of seed and poor tillage rather than from natural causes" The Minnesota station would reserve the best field of grain on the farm, or the best piece of that field, for seed-plot. and seek by the use of the flaming mill and grader to increase the yield and make the variety already grown more val ueble to the locality.

Storing Up Tree Food.

A tree grows its twigs early in the season, but is not idle the remainder of the summer, says Prof G. F. Warren of New Jersey. It is developing its buds and storing food for next year All our farm crops have storage period for storage for food. In the asparagus this is very marked. Our asparagus is practically all grown the summer before we market it; that is, the food is stored up in the roots. Therefore, We get little, if any, re- turns from a fertilizer the year that it is applied. To large extent we also grow our fruit crops the year be- fore we market them. The buds must be formed and food must be stored in the tree the year before the crop is picked.

THE CRADLE OF, RELIGIONS
Wonderful Papyrus Found and Placed In the British Museum of Inter
 est to the World.

A remarkable Egyptian papyrus or ancient scroll, of absorbing interest not only to philologists and scholars but to the whole world, has recently been presented to the nation by Mrs 1 Mary Greenfield, says the London Ex- press, and has now been added to the Egyptian collection of the British museum.
 The papyrus, which. with one ex- ception, is the longest in the world, is described as a magnificent copy of the Theban Book of the Dead, to which is added a rich collection of in vacations. addresses and hymns to Amen-Ra, the great god of Thebes. But the mere description falls far short of the suggestive beauty and actual contents of the scroll.
 Briefly, the papyrus was written for Princess Nesi-ta-neb-asher, the daugh- ter of the great Queen Nesi-khensu, who was at the height of her power at some time between 1040 and 1000 B. c.
 The portion of the papyrus which has already been deciphered promises, it is said, to indicate, among other things:
 CD That the Father and the Son of the Christian Trinity have their analogy in the Amen-Ra and Osiris of the dwellers in ancient Egypt-the cradle of religions.
 CD That many of the so-called new religious cults and theories which are being hotly debated at the present day, were, in only slightly different form, promulgated, weighed and eith- CT accepted or rejected by the Egyp- tians more than three thousand years ago-when the ancient Britons were still painting their naked bodies with blue woad.
 (3) The development of the idea that there was a deity, but that he held himself completely aloof from the doings of men, and that 1t was therefore necessary to create a num- Der of gods who might be invoked and propitiated by mankind.
 (4) The religious reaction and the disposition to abandon the worship of many gods and to merge the many into one or two at most.
 The papyrus. which is 122 feet long and 201s inches wide, appears to be remarkably complete.
 So bold and clear are the black ink characters and vignette illustrations that the papyrus might have been written only three days. instead of
 
 The. privileged few who have re- ceived an intimation of the contents of the new papyrus are hopeful that the authorities will see their way to publish a faithful translation of the scroll for the benefit of scholars and laymen alike.

Coal Train a Mile Long.

The, longest loaded string of rail road cars ever pulled by one engine passed over the Virginia railroad be- tween Roanoke, Va, and Norfolk re- gently. It consisted of 120 steel coal cars. each A feet long, and each loaded with 50 tons of coal. From the cowcatcher of the engine to the rear of the caboose, the train meas ured 60 feet more than a mile long, and the value of the load was $18,0OO. Before this record run a New York Central engine held the record, hay ing hauled a train of 10S loaded 5O- ton coal cars over the Pennsylvania division between Clearfield and Avis, a distance. of 103 miles, Still another heavy run was recorded when the Virginia railroad hauled a train of TOT such cars from Victoria to Se- walls Point, Virginia. a distance of 125 miles.

IrreIigious Potatoes.

The useful potato. although intro duced into England by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1884, was for many years very little cultivated or appreciated.
 In James Is time it sold for two shillings a pound and it did not come into general use in many parts of the country until the end of the eight eenth century.
 Mortimer's Gardeners Calendar" published in 170S, describes potatoes as being very like Jerusalem arti- chokes, though not so good" and adds they may perhaps prove useful for swine"
 And in Scotland religious writers ,xhorted their readers to eschew the potato because it was not men, ton in the Bible.

GrowInq Mushrooms.

Comparatively few farmers or even gardeners grow mushrooms for the home table. Their culture Is simple, and there is no reason why they should not be produced more freely for home consumption. It is import ant to secure first-class spawn. There are now several firms which produce pure spawn that can be relied upon if cultural conditions are favorable. Most of these firms issue pamphlets and bulletins which give all necessary in- formation for the growing of a crop of mushrooms. This is a good subject to interest farm boys and girls.

AN IRlSHMAN'S READY WIT Sense of Humor Saves Him From Censure Because of His Dis
 obedience.

Several years ago, while managing ison. Wis, came in daily contact with an Irishman by the name of Malaney who was then superintend- ent, says Henry L. Doherty He had keen appreciation of humor and wit and was never so happy as when he could make you wonder whether he was extremely foolish or extremely witty. His bull . ere often. and per haps always, plSr editated. I liked to joke with him, although I geherally got the worst of it.
 He had a persistent habit of work ing on Sunday, and it seemed to me that he always picked out a job of trenching in front of some church or equally conspicuous place. While in spirit he was one of the most loyal and obedient employees I ever had, in reality he id not know how to mind.
 Whenever I spoke to him about his Sunday work, he would always say: When the OK falls into the pit he shall be taken out"
 The whole difference was between his opinion and mine as to what really constituted an OK in a pit Finally I had to give him orders that he was never to work on Sunday without my consent
 For several weeks there was no cause for complaint.
 was absent from the city for two or three weeks and returned unex- pectedly on Sunday. While out for a drive I saw ditch open in a side street and guessed in a moment that Malaney was at work there with some of his men. I drove down to the ditch. and found him on his knees trying to blow up tre in a lead ket- tie. He would not have seen me at all if had not spoken to him; but, coming up immediately behind him, said: 'Mr. Malaney, have I not told you repeatedly that you must not work on Sunday?'
 He almost collided with my last words by his ready response, which was: "Ye did, ye did; but l forgot to ask you whether you were Jew or a Gentle. Sunday Magazine

In the Steps of solomon.

Two women came before a certain magistrate with a fat bullet, each de claring that it belonged to herself The magistrate from his high seat drowned heavily at the first woman. Does this bullet belong to Mrs. Jonese" he asked her. 'No, indeed, it don't, sir." she replied. Then he turned to the other woman. Does this pullet belong to Mrs. Smith?" Tt cer-
 ainly does not" she replied. The pullet,'' the magistrate then decreed, "does not belong to Mrs. Jones nor does it belong to MT. Smith. The pull let is mine. Take it round to the house and give it to my cook"
