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,

UUWtVCi, CVO uuavui*v.uivM,

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.?

THE COMPOST HEAP.
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! J. commence to heat, which fac
can be ascertained by probing with i
stick.
When evenly heated throughout
say after a month or six weeks, com
mence at the end with a spade or for*
and work the pile over, leaving i
in about the same shape as before
If spots are iouncl wnere the neatm;
process seems not to have gone on
eitfcer the compost is too dry am
needs water, or too wet and needs mor<
of the acid phosphate, and ie easily
corrected. After several weeks tb<
heap shoufd be again examined an(
worked over, and during the winter i
may ronuire a third working. By th<
spring or later winter it ie generally
ready for use, and is usually thoroughly
disintegrated if kept well damped.
The pile can be extended any length,;

shed or outbuilding is available, the
composting can be carried on in the
field, care being taken to cover well

If it be really true. The soft crimps

the more rigid fashion of the Pompadour

tnd it does not require so much painstaking,
which is about all that can be
said in its favor, except in the case of

BANOS. h
Some fifteen years ago fashionable a
omen were covering their foreheads 1
ith a fringe of straight hair which f<
uug bo low as to nearly hide the n
brightness of their eyes, This was th?
first appearance in public of the bang,
and it had evidently come to stay.
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 ?

The introduction of the perfume
illed patchouly was caused by the de- c
to nf TTron/?Vi ah nwl makers to deceive (
leir customers. When shawls were <
rst brought from India they were (
erfumed with patchouly, an extract <
f an Indian plant. The French soon f
;arned to imitate the ehawls to per- t
jction, but the patchouly bothered t
aem, as they could find no substitute 1
ir it, and this fact was used as the
arest means of distinguishing the j
enuine India shawls from the French 1
ounte*feit. At last somebody discovred
the secret and brought a quantity
f patchouly to France. For a time
tie discoverers kept the matter to 1
aemselves and reaped a harvest; then i
sme one gave way the secret. The
erfume soon became popular and has
ever since passed fcompletely out of
se, though several times superseded
jmporarily by other perfumes.?Chiago
