- " / 4 Sacred Serpents ol* Esrypt. A general belief in the divine character and healing powers of the sacred Rpment is to be met with all over Egypt. Even the myths which the old Egyptians associated "with the snake are still prevalent. Egyptians of all classes still believe that when '*a serpent grows old wings grow out of its body," and that there are serpents which kill by darting flames in the victim's face. How old such beliefs are in this country need not be repeated to those who have seen the pictures in the tombs of the kings at Thebes. The seref, or "flying serpent." and the snake from whose mouth flames issue are among the commonest of the figr ures painted on their walls. It is not, U ^V?L-/\/lo/?rttnn Vmt AK UUWtVCi, CVO uuavui*v.uivM, Agathodaemon, that the divine serpent of ancient Egypt still maintains hie chief hold on the belief of the Egyptian people. Each house still has its harras, or "guardian snake," commonly known as the harras elbet; "the protector of the house." The snake is fed with milk and eggs, and care ie taken not to do it harm. ?Chicago Herald. A Notable Engineering Feat. A notable engineering feat was accomplished a few days a#o in -the com pletion of the boring of the Busk-Ivanhoe Railway tunnel under the continental divide of the Rocky Mountains at Hagerman Pase, Col. The tunnel is almost two miles long?9393 feet? and is through solid gray granite. It took three years and twenty days, of twenty hours' work each day, to bore the big hole. It is 10,800 feet above sea level, through the top ridge of the continent. The water draining from the one side of the mountain under which it is driven runs to the Atlantic Ocean and from the other to the Pacific. Its construction has cost $1,000,000 and twenty human livee. The ? tunnel, which is on the line of the Colorado Midland Railway, the Santa Pe's central route to California, substitutes two miles of track for ten and does away with one of the most expensive railway climbs in the world.?

In times like the present, when i financial crisis is pressing heavily upoi the industries of the country, ther< no class of producers who feel it effects more severely than the truckeri and small farmers supplying the Balti more markets. To this large and in telligent body, who are now consider ing in what manner they can bes prepare their lands for the cominj spring crops and at the least co6t fo: fertilizers, a few suggestions in regar< to an easy and effective mode of com posting tno Btaoie ana omer manure; at hand may be of service. In the South, where there is alway a large stock of cotton seed available composting has been successfully an< regularly followed for years; in fact its merits are eo universally know] that it is rare to find even the smalles farm without its heap. Farther nortl the same methods, allowing for differ ence of materials at hand, are cominj into general use. A valuable, ascertained fact in thi connection is that even the roughes barnyard scrapings, including th< shuck ends, corn stalks, etc., can b reduced to available manure of excel lent quality. Most every farm has on it an ol< shed, outbuilding or disused hay bar rack. Under 6uch cover, even if opei at the sides, spread down a layer o any barnyard scraping, no matter hov rough and damp, about four feet wide six or seven inches deep, and as lonj as the contents of a heavy three horei farm wagon will cover; over thi spread a 200 pound sack of any gooc acid phosphate?say from twelve t< fourteen per cent, availablephosphorii acid and from one and and a half t< two per cent, potash. If the manure is at all dry sprinkh well with water, then put on anothei load of the scrapings and another sac! of the phosphate as before, drawing in slightly at the ends and sides unti the heap is about four feet high. Not sprinkle the whole wile with water and from the surrounding soil cove: the heap with an inch or two of dirl and hank wrll with a spade or hoe After a week or ten days the heaj eh on!

After several weeks tb< heap shoufd be again examined an( worked over, and during the winter i may ronuire a third working.

Animal meal is a good substitute for fresh meat. Cat the clover fine before feeding it to the hen. 0 Cleanliness keeps away disease and ** avoids loss. The Minorcas are said to be the ^ coming breed. Size in progeny is generally influ- , q enoed by the hen. A change of poultry diet is essential i s to good condition.' j 1 The medium-sized breeds are tiie " most active and robust. A few barrels o? road dust for the 8 hens to wallow in is as necessary as ^ any of your other winter stores. The loss of many chickens can be r traced to carelessness in allowing them Q to get wet from their drinking dish, f Poultry manure is one of the most , t valuable products of the farm and 1 - should be oollected and used carefully. ] Dead branches on fruit and other j trees are not only unsightly, but they i "* *' T At . ? - e xl x j are a arait on- xne vitality 01 mc tree, i & If a brooder Bhould become infested 1 t with lice spray it with kerosene oil ' - and also saturate the fringe cloth with 1 t it. , 1 Trees set out in the fall should be 1 t carefully mulched as soon as the 1 ground freezes hard enough to bear up 1 0 a wagon. 1 " Hardiness, vitality and vigor of con- ' * stitutions are of more importance in J poultry for profit than all other quali1 ties combined.

' The safest remedy is 6 to cut off and burn infested branches r as soon as they make their appearance. Ben Davis, Grimes's golden, Stark, } winter-sweet, Paradise, Stewart's gols den, Fink's rambo and quite a list of 5 standard apples are said to bear generally in the even numbered years. It is now high time that the pigs, which have been undergoing the fattening operation, should be crowded j as much as possible and marketed when it is thought they have reached ' their prime condition. B One or two careless fruitgrowers in . a neighborhood will keep up a supply . j of the tent caterpillar to infest all the . I orchards for a mile or two around. It t! is only by thorough, earnest work that j they can be eradicated. r As a hen lays in the morning, it is 1 probable that the egg is formed chiefly - at night, hence the need for keeping t b the bird comfortable during that time, ( that her vitality may not be expended < s in trying to keep warm. < ? If kainit be scattered on the floor of 1 the poultry house it will act both as a ~ > disinfectant and absorbent, and if the i manure begins to ferment the gaseous t ammonia will be converted into a sul1 phate and remain in a solid form. s The cherry is less troublesome to 1 ? grow than almost any other kind of J fruit.

Most distinctly it is a fad, just now, ' . t ui everjr wurnau wuu piuxcooco iuc jossession of a teaspoonful of brains ;o boast a specialty. Now do yon tnow what a specialty is? Let me explain. It is a knowledge of some art >r manufacture, which need not nec;ssarily imply the practice of either, j'or example: the Bmart woman rarey pretends to 6ing, play, write, act, >r paint; bnt she does assame to enow bookfuls about old furniture, mtique lace, silver, rugs, brocade, :ans, miniature and jewelry.

It is, indeed, absolutely impossible to know, as the average roung woman of the smart set comes . )f age, what will be her metier. She s not placed, you see, in a position to >arn her living, but she is keenly senlitive to the spirit of progress now igitating the feminine mind; she is lot eager to vote, but she feels the \ aecessity of doing something.

But as nothing ie tolerated by fashioD very long, the straight bang was relegated in a few years to the chambermaids, -while their mistresses wore fringes which were curled or frizzed. This fashion reigned for Bome time, but it in turn has been succeeded by the present Madonna-like mode ol hair-dressing, which leaves the existence of foreheads a matter of certainty rather than of conjecture. But the old-fashioned straight bang has by no means been banished, it has fallen on the head of the college man. There the bang may be seen in C| its first and undiminished estate. It S]is especially in evidence on the foot- ^ ball field, and is said to save the play- ? era' heads from many a hard blow. So, seemingly, there was always a ? method in its wanderings, and it was meant from the beginning to arrive at f( a point where a special mission was to ti be fulfilled. f. In the present gentle stage of the gl football game a mass of flowing locks is said to afford sufficient protection c to the skull of the college man. But aa the game seems to be evolving to- 0 wards something more glorious and ^ dangerous than the game of to-day, it is safe to presume "that helmets will soon be added to football armor. Then bangs will have fulfilled their mission, ^ and may start on their onward way once more. ^ Perhaps by that time the college c girl will be ready to assume them. She is the only member of society who has been free from the light touch of Tl bangs. But as their progress is as ^ sure as it is slow, even she may have g to adopt them before long. The possibility opens up an interesting field i for conjecture. If the college girl takes her brother's ? discarded ban?, it will not be for the \ purpose of adorning herself there- ^ with. She must, have a hygienic or d other equally good reason for wearing J1 one before she will so far depart from 1 her ancient principles as to bang her ? hair. It is barely possible that she I will do so from a desire to place her- J self on an equality with college men. I She has assumed her brother's sailor hat, his four-in-hand and waistcoat. Or eke, in her self-sacrificing desire 1 io raise the standard of women's col- ? leges as high as that of men's, she a may consent to play a modified sort of ^ football game, and in this case she will certainly have to be protected by a bang. But this is all conjectural, a and for the present at least the college boy monopolizes the straight, y long, old-fashioned fringe. It may, be- p, fore long, bring him to the point of wearing a veil; for without a veil, as * girls all know, bangs cannot be kept ? in order.?Harper's Bazar. a d FASHION N0TE3. 1 Just now ribbon-weavers have great p cause for elation.
