tons in Egypt which have done much
to reveal the history OF an ancient
world power.
I'VE have a very full record OF the
process against certain ladies of the
harem OF King Rameses III, of the goth
dynasty, which exhibits the harem in
trigue in all its familiar features"
writes Mr.. Bake. "Officials of the
harem are bribed, messages are sent
out to officers OF the troops from the
secluded ladies, inviting the help OF
the army to overthrow the king and
set up a pretender. and the resources
OF witchcraft are called in to insure
the success OF the scheme. In this
case even the discovery of the plot did
not put an end to the Vaccinations of
those concerned. The judges of the
trial were tempered with, and the re-
suit was a highly discreditable expos
ure of the corruption of the Egyptian
bench as well as that of the harem."
Continuing his discussion of the po-
sition of women in ancient Egypt, Mr..
Bailie says:
Though there are certain features,
such as their loose ideas in the matter
of consanguinity. which shock our
modern sense of morality, the ideas
and practice of the ancient Egyptians
in respect to the position of woman
were remarkably advanced and rational,
comparing very favorably with those
of the great nations of classical an
tiquity. Woman was to the Egyptian,
not the slave OF man or the minister OF
his pleasure; she was his companion,
his fellow-worker on very equal terms,
often his adviser. not infrequently his
ruler

in 1908, while last year there were

at S17,43O. an increase of 90 over 1872
And every one of the unexploded

Eagan to smithereens were it not for
the care he takes to safeguard his life.
Once he has literally picked bomb
apart and has supplied the police with
working clues, he uncor sciously finds
himself the enemy of the very men
who make bombs. Yet, cognizant of
that fact, he carries no revolver for
protection, and the only means he
uses to .elude the vengeful is to keep
his whereabouts secret. You won't
find his name, address or telephone
number in any directory, and long ago
he discarded the use of mail boxes.
Should you call at fire headquarters
and ask where Eagan lives they will
puncture you with a thousand ques-
tons yet tell you nothing"

No One Else Has Job Like This Man

In the Interesting People" depart
ment Of the June American Magazine
appear a picture and sketch OF Owen
Eagan who, as inspector of New York
bureau of combustibles, has opened,
analysed, and destroyed over 5000
bombs in 10 years of uninterrupted and
dangerous duty. He receives a salary
of $500 a year, and no one has ever
offered to succeed him when he quits.
No life insurance company will take
a risk on him, and If he is injured
while opening a bomb he cannot sue
the city for damages. There isn't an
other job like his in the world. Fol-
lowing is an extract from the article:
The bomb industry in New York
began to be a serious menace ten years
ago. but in those days Eagan had an
hour or two TO himself. Nowadays
bombs are coming so fast he calls up
the bureau OF combustibles every half
hour to let one of the three bosses
know where he is. To show the in

a sentiment that could almost be called
reverence for womanhood. particularly
IN respect of its great function or
motherhood sentiment which Is
much more akin to our modern west
ern view than anything else that we
meet with among ancient peoples. The
mother was respected for her supreme
share in the life and upbringing of her
children, and for all the selfsacrifice
which is essentially involved In true
motherhood, and from the very earliest
days the child was carefully indoctrin-
ated with the duty OF reverenclng and
loving the mother who bore and nour-
ished him. So strong was this senti-
ment that on the tombs of the old
kingdom the mother OF the deceased
is as rule represented together with
his wife. while the father rarely ap-
pears. In noble Egyptian families the
general, though not invariable, custom
was that the heir of the house was not
the eldest son, but the son of the eldest
daughter. Under the middle kingdom
this rule prevailed to such an extent
that the inheritance passed from one
family to another through heiresses.
He who married an heiress gained for
his son the inheritance of his father
fn-law.
Men OF the upper classes had their
harems. Pharoah himself appears
to have been the possessor of
large harem. Under the empire the
harem was supervised by an elderly
matron, and was administered by high
oflcials-'the governor of the royal
harem,' the scribe of the royal har-
en- the delegate of the harem-while
a number of slaves watched over the
ladies and guarded them from the out
side world. The scale TO which such
an establishment could attain is illus
trated by the case of Amenhotep III.
When the king of Nitanni sent him
his daughter Gilukhipa in marriage. |
the young lady was accompanied by a
train of 317 maidens, who were no |
doubt added to the royal harem."

estimated population In 1912 II was
1873. in 1911. 14.2. For the years from
1901 to 1905 the average was 49,;
from 1906 TO 1910 Il WAS ISL. We are
therefore continuing in Improvements
the average for 1911. 1912 and 1913
being 14O6. These are the exact fig
ures as stated in the report OF the
census bureau. What they mean In
actual lives is not indicated except
BY closer analysis. The decrease from
1852. the average from 1901 to 1905. to
141, the average for 1913, amounts TO
10 per cent, or a reduction OF one
death in every eight. II the same rate
had prevailed in 1913 as in the period
from 1901 to 1905. there would have
been ! .O25.4 46 deaths recorded instead
Of ssO.S23, an excess OF 134,623.
The largest percentage OF decrease
was shown for Rhode Island (15-O, fol-
lowed by New York (12.3), New Jer-
sey Ql.2) and Massachusetts, (9.6).
II seems to be only a peculiar coinci-
dence that these leaders should all be
in one small section OF the entire ter
rftory discussed. Slight increases
which occurred in some states, Michi-
gan, As; New Hampshire, 3, and In

some cases to increased accuracy OF

Rain Drop Fairies
By Clara Ingram Judson

n nee upon a time some raindrop
fairies lived out IN the center OF
a great big lake. So many years
they lived there, travelling up to the
clouds and down again TO the lake, that
they never guessed there was anything
else in the world, but just water. Water
below in the lake, water above in the
clouds, and sunshine and moonshine
over II all-that was the whole world,
they thought.
Then one night there came a big
wind storm. The poor little raindrop
fairies were tossed hither and thither
till they were all drenched and weary
When the morning sun woke up and
looked over the world. the wind storm
was very ashamed of himself.
Il expect that was foolish of me TO
rage all night" he muttered to himself
Now that the sun is here again,
can't remember what / was so angry
about"
But the sun was very wise and didn't
scold at all he just smiled and smiled
and said, Good morning, my friend
Wind. Isn't this fine day?"
Yes, I guess So" replied the wind,
feeling very foolish. Il think I'll go
and take journey"
So he spread himself out very thin on
The blue water and as quietly and care
fully as he could slipped off 10 the north
pole and stayed there some time.
When they were sure he was gone
the water fairies drew a long breath
and began to look around. They found
themselves close by the shore, where
an apple orchard stood. The trees were
white as snow with the blooms of
springtime and the bushes and shrubs
near by were sprinkIed with white pet
ais.
Look, look" cried the water fairies,
"see that beautiful land country; we
never knew there was such a lovely
place"
! Flowers" cried another. Those
must be flowers on the trees. You re-
member the cloud fairies were talking
about flowers and we didn't know what
they meant"

a humorous corrective to an imposition

the water" said the first fairy. Don't
you think we could?"
Let's get closer and see them better
first" said the other.
Nearer and nearer the shore they
crowded, sliding Up and down the
sunny water At last they hurried so
that they lost their balance on the top
of big wave and fell-a mass of white
wings and frilly clothes from the crest
of the wave to the trough below.
Laughingly they picked themselves
up. That's fun" they cried. Lets

AID FOR AGRICULTURAL Elk
TENSION.

The Smith-Lever act, which provides
for cooperative agricultural extension
work between the states and the Unit
! ed States department of agriculture.
promises to be OF real value to the
/ farmers OF the country II the people
I of the various states choose to take
advantage of its provisions. In a table
| printed in the weekly news letter to
crop correspondents by the department
/ OF agriculture, II is shown that Illinois
will get larger sums from the amount
appropriated annually than any other
state except Pennsylvania. This states
rural population is 4.3S per cent OF the
total rural population in the nation.
In the year 1915 Illinois gets &c.,
600: in 1886, S36,2S2. and in 1867.
s5s.1S4 In years following up to
1928, s21.9O2 may be added 10 the
last sum, and for the year last given
and those following the maximum for
this state will be s1s9,59G. or some
thing like $500 for each county, on
an average.
The act makes available for the next
nine fiscal years an aggregate sum OF
100000 of federal funds to be ex-
pended in instruction and practical |
demonstrations in agriculture and |
home economies. To obtain this total |
the states must appropriate for like /
purposes a total OF s1S.sO0,OO0, max
ing a grand total of 100000 to be
expended during the next nine fiscal
years on direct agricultural extension
work. Thereafter the federal govern
ment IS to appropriate S4,5S0.000 an
nually. and the states. TO take their
full quota, must appropriate s4.1OO,OO0
annually. making a total annual ex-
penditure for this purpose OF ss,6sO,-
600.
The purposes to which the federal
funds are TO be applied are defined by
the act as follows:
That cooperative agricultural
extension work shall consist Of
the giving OF instruction and prac-
teal demonstrations in agricul-
ture and home economics to per
sons not attending or resident in
said colleges IN the several COM
munities. and imparting to such
persons information on said sub
Jects through held demonstrations,
publications. and otherwise: and
this work shall be carried on in
such manner as may be mutually
agreed upon by the secretary OF
agriculture and the state agricul-
tural college or colleges receiving
the benefits OF this act.
None OF this money may be applied
} the purchase. erection and repair OF
~ building, or the purchase and rem
! Of land. or any college course teach
g or lectures in colleges, promoting
ricultural trains. etc. Not more
an per cent OF each annual eppro-
ation may be used in printing or
distribution OF publications; so
Il at least 95 per cent must be ex-
lded in direct extension activities. ]
