By reason Of its depredations on

the rice has moved away from the path

it has become almost harmless. Hence

Three Seasons in Year.

The Egyptian year was divided into
three seasons. These were Shalt, the
season Of waters, being the time occu-
pied by the rising spread and recess
sion of the Nile; Pirut, the season of
vegetation; the Shonmu, the season of
harvest. These seasons are supposed
to have been arranged by the god Thot.
Each season was divided into four
months and they were known in Off
cial documents by numbers only. Thus
we have the first, second, third and
fourth months of Shalt, the months Of
each of the other seasons being desig-
mated in the same manner. Each
month, however, had a patron god and
the people ordinarily gave to it, in
their daily intercourse, the name. of its
god. These deity names of the
months we"n transcribed into Greek.
then into Arabic and are now largely
used by the Christian inhabitants of
Egypt in preference to the Mussulman
appellations.

the shore of the Red sea. It was for

and 40 miles northwest of Alden:
From early in the sixteenth century
until the middle of the seventeenth
century Mocha was the port from
which the coffee Of Yemen was prin-
cipally exported, hence coffee grown
in that part of Arabia and shipped

as Mocha coffee. The coffee of Yemen

Most people have seen the cheeks
become pale with terror, but few have

such transformation has often been
denied. Yet 1t is a well-attested fact.
Some years ago Swiss mountaineer

ledge on the face of precipice, to
which he had had to cling precari-
