Modern Egyptian Womani
In Kgypt some old customs are pre- -
Talent regarding women which could
scarcely be more destructlvo of those
qualities that lead to progress or more
certain to bring h race to a standstill.*
As a rule there is no family life among
the masses, and superstitious of the
grossest kind are entertained. The
wives are not permitted to eat at the
same table with their husbands, and
occupy a pitiful position as chattels
bought and paid for, being iu con
stant dread of the disgrace of di
vorce, which may be arbitrarily im
posed. Among the more intelligent
women the movement for political
equality has been eagerly received,
and It to expected that the new suf
frage aBBoclatlon of Egypt will become
a strong and influential group. ? Chris

Big Massachuaetta Cranberry Bog.
The largest cranberry bog in the
world is being prepared in Assonet at
an expense of $300,000, and it is to be
planted as soon as the 20fr men em
ployed for the work can get it ready.
They are using electric machines to
change the surface of the land to the
required conditions and establish a
flooding pond. It is one of the re
quirements of a cranberry bog that
plenty of water be storod on a higher
level to be handy for flooding the ber
ries in the fall before they are ripe
to prevent frost getting at them on
cold nights. That Is the kind of blan
ket th$ cranberry farmers use, be
cHtrerr-rt ~t s~tmpo8alble In the matter
of expense to cover a large cranberry
marsh as the gardener does his squash
vines.
Rings Blessed by Monarch.
The belief in the magic of rlngfl
blessed by the king was almost uni
versal in England in the middle ages.
On Good Friday the king went through
the ceremony of blessing certain rings
to be distributed among the people as
an infallible cure for cramps. "Com
ing in state into his chapel he found
a crucifix laid upon a cushion and
a carpet spread on the ground before
It. The monarch crept talong the
carpet to the crucifix as a token of his
humility, and there blessed the rings
in a silver basin, kneeling all the
time, with his almoner kneeling by his
side. After this was done the queen
and her ladies cam** In and likewise
crept to the cross."
Whera They Were.
Sallie, a negress noted for being an
excellent worker, was visited one day
by one olf her old employers. Her
little shanty was very small, consisting
of three rooms. ' Well, Sallie," began
her caller. "I have not seen you for
many years, but 1 have come to ask
you to do some house cleaning for me.
Will you come tomorrow?" "Oh, no.,
missus," replied the other, "I can't
com^ any^nn^C I'se married an' has
a large fambly. I can't come." "How
many children ha^e you, - Sallie?"
'Twelve, missus." v *'Where are they?
I don't see any about.'\ "Ya'sum, I
have twelve-^eleven in heaben and
one in de house of refuge."
2? ' Cultivate' Sense of Reat. \J

Willing Sacrifice.
He is but a little lad, William, but
tlready he "manifests indubitable

teason was early Lent, and the talk
*t the family dinner table turned on
the various Indulgences to-be denied
themselves by different members of
the household. "What will you give

tjt was William's turn to speak. "My.

MODERN WliDDING IN JAPAN
Ssldom Nowadays That flrld# and
Groom From B?it Are
Msrrlcd In Old Way.
I '
Near llibiya Park, Tokyo, Japan, is
the llibiya tHajingu, or the great god
shrine. the mobl famous place lu the
empire for th? oqlsbraUou of mar
riages, Twelve years ago such a
cuatoin. that of performing wedding
servlci* at shriues, was unheard of.
and it wmp Or. Baron TakagJ who es
tablished the practice, following that
of tho western marriage rites lit most
respects. Since thin Innovation the
Ualjingu wedding hah become niobt
popular, and It Is seldom nowadays
that any bride or groom from a family
of good standing Ih married In the old
fashioned tnanuar with the ceremony
of three times three cups of sake.
Whan the bride and groom and the
relatives have asBombled at the shrine
(he head priest advances to the altar
of the gods and says a prayer to the
ancestors of the country and then
makes tho couple promise that they
will never separate- The priest then
serves the gods with sake, after which
It la given to the bride and groom,
who make a vow beforo tho gods that
they will be constant to each other,
aud such a promise given beforo the
gods is one that does not admit of any
lapse on the part of either party con-'
oerned.
Then the sake is given to tho rela

to a western hotel for a foreign ban
Quot or perhaps to a native restau

will be served.
WAS SHAMEFUL COME-DOWN
James B. Hammond Commiserates
With Son of High Flnanoier Who
Went Wrong.
The late James 13. Hammond was,
though a millionaire himself, no
friend to "high finance."
' The son of an ex-hlgh financier
went wrong some years ago. aqd one
afternoon ' Bent for Mr. Hammond
from the Tombs.
The youug man, with sighs and
tears, confessed in his cell In the;,
Tomba that he had stolen a dollar.
Mr. Hammond did not upbraid the
youth: but ela'pnlng Mm on ? lh*_
shoulder, said:
"What a come-down! Why, your
father would never have dreamed of
taking less than half a million!"
Early Printing.
The first book printed In the Eng
lish language was not printed In Eftg
lsnd. William Caxton, the English
zqercer, carried on business In
Bruges. In 1469. he began to trans
late into English the "Recueil des His
tories de Troye," am-. to supply the
great demand for copies of the book
he set himself to learn the art of
printing. The "Recueil," the first
printed English book probably appear
ed in 1474, and may have been printed
either at Cologne or in Bruges. In
1475 Caxton printed another work
translated from the French. Its title
was "The Game and the Playe of the
Chesse." This was the second printed
English book. Caxton left Bruges in
1746, and set up his press in West
minster, England. Such is one ac
count, but other authorities hold that
the book on chess was printed at
Westminster and was the first book
printed In England. There Is no com
plete history of printing In the Eng
lish language, though T. L de Vinne's
"The invention of Printing," and Rob
ert Hoe's "A Short History of the
Printing Press," might be of use to
you. Any good bookseller should be
able to get them for you. i
Mexico's Easy-Going Newspapers.
Mexico, despite its revolutions, Is
one of the most conservative countries ;
inj the world- Few of the- poorer
people can read or write, and the "pub
lic newspaper reader" makes a com
fortable living by going the round of
the drinking places of the city and re-j
citing ttte-~i?ews of the day. News,
however, generally fairly stale be-;
for? 4t reaches -print in a Mexican
j&per. "Good news,", said one Mexi
oitn editor to a traveler, "is like goodi
w\n&l>lt Improves with age. It 1b al-i
w4ys better to hold news over for a j
wtfek. If it is true, we get more IftOtli; .
If it proves false, why should we print
it?"
Bad Hand/
Ix>rd Wolverhampton's complaint of
the burdens added to the car&s of
heads of departments In official
by bad handwriting recalls an amufttog
incident which occurred when the
House of Lordtf was in committee on
the reform bill of 1867. The clerk of
the house intimated that an amend
ment had been handed in, the writing 1
of which was so illegible that he was
unable to say what it was about or<
who had written it. It was then dis
covered that Ix>rd Lyttelton was the
author, and it turned out to be a pro-:
posal disfranchising all persons who^
could not write!? London Answers. \
