MYSTERIOUS NIPPUR,
Excavations Where a Depth of Tea Feet
Marks Centarles.
Calneh, or Ancient Nippur, where excavations
by the University of Pennsylvania
are now being made, lies at
the bottom of a great sand dune in
Mesopotamia?that is, ancient Babylonia,
and today?1900?a party of
archaelogists is delving through the
debris of 7,000 years for the records
that were made contemporaneous to
v old-time reckoning of the deluge. From

the sand dune looks like the key to
the beginnings of history. Standing
amid a clump of Arab mud huts -where
the horses are still of native strain,
and the men still use matchlocks inlaid
with Arabesques, one might figure
a mighty whirlwind of the desert until
It could carry no more and collapsing,
; finally, on the site of the ancient city.
But in that huge mound are tunnels
"" leading in and down, and deep rifts
I and pits and projecting walls of ancient
cities, and platforms of baked clay, and
If atone stairways up which to-day hundreds
of Arab porters are carrying baskets
of sand. From the summit of the
pile one can look afar off to the sun
just gleaming above the horizon of the
twentieth century, and then walk slowly
down toward the beginnings of civilization.
Walk as slowly as you may,
and at the first dozen steps of descent
you have passed the level of the Christian
era. The baked clay to the right
of you was placed there by Ashurbanapal,
king more than 600 years before
Christ A few steps further and

again, further, and you are walking
a platform laid in the time of UrUur
centuries before Abraham, the
founder of the Jewish nation, was

down past thirty feet of debris to the

C. The Septuaglnt, written 250 B. C.,
T places the creation of the world at
about 5,500; and with this in mind, it
Is difficult in the nineteenth eenturj- to
gaze upon these evidences of man's
v v, handiwork and realize that the workmen
lived more than 7,000 years ago.
And yet this is by no means the strangest
feature, for the records of these
workmen show that they lived not
within a comparatively few generations
? :, * of the beginning of the world, but that
they were part of a civilization as highly
developed as that of the Greeks;
that men carried on the business of
life in a manner and with ambitions
and desires not very different from
those of our time, and that, most remarkable
of all, this state of affairs
had then been going on for many thousands
of years. Evidence of all this
is found stamped on the tablets and
vases which are being unearthed today
from the ruins of Calneh. It is
a wonderful story, which probably has
a more important bearing on the beginning
and end of human life than
anything else recently discovered.?

Color of Daflocllls.
Where markod differences -were
noted in the color of daffodils analysis 1
were made of the different soils in <
which they grew. It was found that j
the intensity of the color increased j
with the percentage of organic matter, !
phosphoric acid, lime and peroxide of j
iron. It was not determined whether }
all the inciease of color was due to j
the preseuce of large amounts of these
compounds or only a part of them.
A ltrnwn Whltewanli.
It may seem as much of a misnomor
to speak of a brown whitewash as of a
white blackberry, but the United
States U9es a wash that gives a browuisli
white, not so glaring to look upon
when new as a liuie wash, and it is
claimed to be more durable and to resist
water much l etter. Take throe
parts of good hydraulic cement, not^
necessarily the highest price !, and
one part of clean, fine sand, and mix
well with cold water. Wet the sur- ;
face to be covered, whether wood, j
stone or brick, and then apply the |
wash before the surface dries, which i
will make it adhere better. Keep
well stirred while using.
Straw a* a Hors"* Feeil.
Some straw can always bo fed to
horses, the amount varying with the ;
work and the purpose for which the
animal is used. Idle horses, having j
ample time for ihasticating and digesting
their feed, can subsist almost j
wholly on good, bright straw; hard- j
i worked animals and those required to j
move rapidly ran make use of only a
little?the feeder must judge from the
conditions how much to supply. It is
a notable fact that many horses are
fed costly hay for roughage when
cheaper straw or fodder would prove
equally satisfactory. In relative value
for horse feediug, the straw ranks in
the following order: Oat, barley, wheat,
rye?the last named being of slight
utility.
Potatoes and live.
Potatoes do excellently well upon
land where a crop of green rye has
beeu plowed in, being usually very
free from scab, fair and smooth.
Early potatoes can bo takou off in
time to sow rye, which will make
growth enough to furnish a good fail
pasture or a spring pasture for cattle
or sheep, aud then it may bo plowed
under in season to plaut potatoes
agaiu or some other lator crop. We
do not like the idea of growing two
crops of potatoes on the same land for
two years in succession, but there are
many other crops which would follow
well after the rye was plowed in, aud
nearly all crops can be taken off in
time to sow rye after them, which
will be large enongh to plow finder in
the spring. But do not trust to the
rye alone as a fertilizer, but use it as
an addition to the other fertilizer applied.
llapo mb a Food Crop.
We have not yet seen a single unfavorable
statement about rape from
auy who have tested it as food for
sheep, hogs or poultry, aud that is
more tliau we can say for any of the
new forage crops, as vetch, sorghum,
brome grass, kaffir corn or any of the
rest While some praise them very
highly, others find some fault,or have
failed to iuduce them to grow well
upon their soil. But rape seems to j
grow anywhere that cabbages or turnips
will grow, and to do nearly as
well, whether sown in the shade of an
i i ii.. ~^
orcuarci as one in mo u^eu uom, ?uu
very nearly as well upon a light soil
decently manured as on the most fertile
fields of the prairie. We hope
our readers will try it this year if they
have anything to feed it to. It may
not prove as good fodder as the corn
crop,but it is worthy of trial.?American

One Wuy to 1'lant Tea*.
With the wheel hoe furrows were
made '* 1-2 feet apart and five or six
iuches deep by plowing twice in the
same furrow. The peas were then
drilled in by hand, using one quart of j
seed to 150 feet of row, and covered j
by reversing tho plows to turn in,
running through each furrow and
covering the peas two to three inches
deep, and walking on the rows behind
the plow to firm aud compact the
soil over the seed. The rows were
made o 1-2 feet apart that early sweet
corn could be plauted between every
other two rows of peas,leaving a clear
space between each two rows to facil- ,
itate picking.
After covering, a shallow trench
was left about three inches deep and
eight inches wide. As the pens grew <
this was gradually filled level by cul- j
tivatiou. Cultivation was begun as j '
soon as the peas were up, by going I
through the rows with a cultivator and i
followiug the cultivator,with the rakes j
at tho first cultivation and subsequent- <
lv once a week thereafter. The crop
was cultivated three times a week,
until the peas were in full bloom,
keeping tho soil constantly stirred to
a sufficient depth, smooth and free
from weeds. ?0. P. Eyiugtou, in New
England Homestead.
Clearing Fields of Stones.
In the first place, when clearing a
field of stones, pick up all on top before
plowing the field, and when breaking
sod have a man with a pickax follow
the plow and pick up1 all that are
in sight. If a subsoil plow is used, it
would be a good plan to pick after
that, too. Throw the stones in small !
piles and it will be easier to haul them
off later.
i Our method has been to never plow
i down any stones if we could possibly
find time to haul them off, and by j
i taking one field at a time, cleaning j
that as much as possible by picking
before plowing aud after harrowing,
once or twice, the farm will soon bo
clear of all stones. The boulders we
dispose of in various ways. One is to
- dig out a hole at one side of them so
i deep that they will sink out of the
, way for the plow, throwing the dirt
, back over them again. Another is to
i twitch them out of their hole with the
11 team and haul them away, burying
j them in the covered drains or using
,! them in stone walls.
On our farm we have found that all
boulders stand deepest on the southwest
side and shallowest on the opposite
side. We dig the soil away on
I . the deepest side enough to got a chain
! ! on it and place the team facing the
I northeast, and out comes the rock
' j when the team starts,unless the chain
' ! slips. One day last November with
H.q nt nna llfil'SA T took nnt, find
t j hauled away a boulder that must have
1 weighed half a ton or more, but I

Preparing for the Honey Harvest.
-! In getting a colony of bees ready
p for the honey harvest, one should
- know what plants will furnish pollen
and nectar in abundance, and when
tliey usually are ready for the bees to
work upon. It usually takes worker
bees about 37 days from the egg uutil
they are ready to fly out to gather
honey, though they will go out at an
earlier age sometimes if tlio colony is
weak aud the stores low. This is
like the sending of children out to
earn their living when very young; it
may seem necessary under some circumstances,
but it is neither well for
the children nor profitable to the
paseuts in the end, if they can sustain
life in auy other way.
Then the time to begin to feed the
bees to stimulate brood raisiug is
best pla od at 37 days, before the

more, that there may be plenty of
l>ees to go at work when the honey i3
ready for them. If the seasou is delnyed
beyoud the expected time, keep
up the feed in?, and if the combs get
well tilled with brood stoics, put on a
super with frames of empty comb, or
full sheets of foundation, and let the
queen go up there to start more brood.
]f one can get a double hivo in this
way well tilled with brood, he may ex}
ect not only a strong swarm from it,
but more than one or two crate* of
sect ous or frames above it well tilled
with honey. It is in this way and by
feeding wheu the honey How slackens,
and by good care at all times, that
sonio are able to get JO ) pounds of
honey or more from each colony.
In this way the eight-frame hive
can bo made practically a 1C-frame
hivo, with bees enough in it, and it
will not send out but one swarm or
should not be allowed to do so. If
more increase is desired allow them to
send out a second swarm, which they
are likely to do if the colony is strong
and queen cells a?e not destroyed,
then hive the new swarm in the upper
box with the brood and comb that
may be there, and have the lower
hive on the old stand with supers to
build comb in.?Boston Cultivator.
Tood Jpjur'n<j the ltntter.
In the spring and summer cows
will often "wander into low iiclds and
swamps and eat weeds aud wild plants
that jifleet the taste of the butter.
There is sometimes a strong odor to
it and again a decide.lly bitter taste.
Tl,ic iq firsf iintioonhla ill thfl lllilk
aud cream, and the process of churning
does not eliminate the trouble.
Tbc only sure way to prevent such
odors and disagreeable taste in the
butter in summer is to root out all
weeds and noxious plants from the
pasture. If the latter is in a run
down condition where weeds* thrive
and grass dies, it will be pretty hard
to make the food of the cows good
enough to produce excellent milk and
cream. It will pay better in such
cases to reut more aud better pasture
fields, and sow the old one with new
seed aud fertilize it well. Most tainted
and bitter summer butter comes from
farms where the cows aro pastured on
worn out grass fields.
Iu the winter time, however, the
dairymen cannot remedy matters so
easily. The trouble comes from -the
food, but the latter is in the form of
hay, which cannot well be separated
so that the weeds can be taken out.
Where weods of a disagreeable odor
have been harvested with the hay the
cows will often produce inferior and
bitter butter all winter. In purchasing
bay for winter feed the dairymen
rnns quite a risk iu buying weeds that
will do more harm than the food will
do good.
But it is not always the weeds that
taint butter. One may be as careful
aud particular as possible in harvesting
the hay crop, and yet find himself
making butter with a decidedly
bitter flavor. The cause of this is
sometimes quite difficult to ascertain.
Iu my own experience I have found
that a large diet of clover hay invariably
affects tli8 butter injuriously.
No matter how choice the clover hay
may be, it will cause the butter to
have a bitter taste if fed iu any large
amount continuously through the
wiuter. If fed in small quantities
with other hay and feod and with
plenty of ptimpkius aud roots, there
will be 110 appreciable injury done to
the butter. But clover bay is not a
Rood diet for milk cows. It has really
little usefulness for the dairyman. It
would pay him better if it was all
turned uuder the soil to enrich it.
Next to this the feeding of damaged
grain is the most fruitful cause of
I ad body in winter. Some farmers
buy up damaged grain because it is
cheap, but they canuot afford to feed
it to dairy cows. In nine cases out of
ten it will so injure the butter that it
will prove very costly in the end.?

Hnnted a Hear and Found Silver.
J. S. Altenhaus, who lives in the
Big Horn mountains, in northern
Wyoming, while out hunting recently
came upon the tracks of a big silvertipped
bear and followed the trail to
the mouth of a mountain cave. The
hunter prepared a torch and entered
the cave. A deep-throated growl and
the shining of phosphorescent eyes
betrayed bruin's position, and a close
and cool shot ended his career. In
removing the bear the attention of
Mr. Alteuhaus was attracted to a
mineral vein showing on the cavern
wall. Securing samples of the rock
an assay was afterward made, which
gave returns of 40 per cent, lead and
200 ounces of silver to the ton. The
vein is about four feet in width and
extends for the full length of the
caveru, some 300 feet. Mr. AHenhaus
named the claim the "Silver

SUGAR'S VALUE AS FOOD.
Recent Testa by German Experts Give
Affirmative Results.
Gorman scientists have recently bceft
conducting experiments to ascertain i
how far it is safe for people to employ
smear as an article of diet. These inquiries
are not altogether disinterested.
Quite the contrary. Two-thirds of the
world's supply of sugar is made from I
beets, and more than one-third of the
total production of beet sugar is credit-;
ed to Germany. Part of this amount j
she is.able to sell to foreigners. But;
the greater part of it she consumes j
herself. Now, exportation is liable to;
fall' off at any time, and it is highly j
probable that the manufacture will;
fnntiiirip tr> inrroflsp. Hence it is de-;
sirable, from the Gorman point of |
view, to promote the use of sugar as j
far as possible. However, this motive
does not impair the value of the in-1
vesications recently made. Instead,
it imparts greater interest to the latter.
It is a a rather curious fact that, a I- j
though Germany makes an enormous
quantity of sugar, her people are not
the largest consumers of that commodity.
Statistics for 1S97 show that in
England the average amount consumed
per capita was So.7 pounds a year,
whereas in Germany only 2G.G pounds
were eaten. Americans ate on an average
G2.3 pounds. Hence it would be j
practicable to double or even treble;
the consumption in Germany without:
any appearance of excessive indulgence.
Still, before recommending a policy
of this sort, it was deemed wise by the J
experts to institute elaborate tests of
the effect of a sugar diet The result
is highly encouraging. It has been determined
that a libera* use of sugar is
strengthening and fattening. One is
taken aback for a moment by the discovery
that the latter virtue was deI,,,

IlJUil^Ll Cl UWi l?J VA|A tiUJVMW ... and
cattle; but this Is a situation calling
for cold logic, not sentiment
Even before the tests were made
which the American consul at Magdeburg
reports to the State Department
at Washington, it was known that
mountain climbers regard sugar as a
source of energy. Moreover, the chemists
say that "it is a soluble carbon
hydrate that is easily converted into
warmth and force." That ought to
settle the question. But the verdict
was not considered final. Your German
scientist wants to measure and
compute, and enable himself to state
his conclusions in a mathematical
form. He is still happier if he can employ
a substantial piece of apparatus
in his inquiry.
Well, these German savants proceedt
ed in the following manner: They requested
a man to apply his finger to a
device called an ergostat, or force
measurer. He exerted himself to the
utmost to move the index of the machine.
A record of his strength was
made. On a different occasion he was
fed on sugar, and again experimented
with. It then appeared that he could
make a better showing with the ergostat
than before. Another form of
the trial was to let a man tire himself

restored his strength more quickly
than abstinence. It thus appeared that
his weary muscles recovered their
power promptly in consequence of eating
sugar.
The German Government is said to
be considering the expediency of adding
six lumps of sugar to each soldier's
ration in the army. But whatever it
decides, it seems to have been demonstrated
that the matinee girl who eats

"What a happy time we had on
Fourths of July when we were children
together," said Mr. Oldbeau to Miss
Frisbie, "with torpedoes and fire-crackers
and things popping about."
"I wouldn't mind hearing something
pop now," added Miss Frisbie, demurely.

A plnusibfe tale of a man who : i
bought a loaf of broad and took away !
more property than he paid for, is told | ;
by the Pawtucket correspondent of the i i
I Providence Telegram. The man was '<
in a hurry to catch a car. (
His impatience made the clerk nervous.
She forgot to snap the string 1
which bound the paper about the loaf, (
and away sped the man with the loaf,
while the string reeled off behind him.
lie caught the car all right, and although
the conductor and some of the
passengers noticed, as he sat down 1
close to the door, that the twine paid
itself out as the car rolled along, the
man did not discover the tangle until
he alighted. In the meantime the con- j
ductor was having a good time; as J
passengers stepped on the platform he i
cautioned them not to walk on that '
string, and they did not. :
It might have looked mysterious to \
the people who saw the string moving
along the street, for the unraveling
continued until the bakery twine bobbin
had been nearly emptied by the 1
connected loaf a mile away. The man 1
with the bread felt a tug at his loaf as j
he stepped down from the car. Then .
he followed up the cord, winding as
, he went.
He was one of those strictly honest
men who want nothing that does not
belong to them; and the best part of
the story is that he followed the string
back, winding as he walked, and in
due time entered the bakery and restored
the ball of twine.

Field Dressing of the Britisb Army.
The first field dressing now In use j
in the British army is an adaptation of j
that employed in the French service. j
I It forms a component part of the sol-1
dier's kit ou active service so as to be
available at all times and in all places
as a first dressing for wounds, and
when he goes into action it is placed
in the pocket on the right side of the
tunic. The antiseptic agent used is
corrosive sublimate, one in 1,000, and
directions for use of the first dressing
are printed both on the outside and the
inside covers.

lis Lost Brother's Voice la a Phonograph.
On the 14th of May, 1S81, George
Kemington, a brother of Peter Hem- ,
ngton of Galesburg, Mich., enlisted In
the regular army and disappeared. Persistent
inquiry failed to discover his
whereabouts, the only fact to be ascertained
being that of his discharge for
Usability soon after his enlistment.
Three months since Peter was in Kallmazoo,
where by chance he took in an i
exhibition of which a phonograph form- 1
^d a part. Among other features was (
i fragment from the play, "The Three
Guardsmen," during the rendering of 1
which one of the characters developed
l peculiar and scarcely noticeable stammer.
Upon the request of Mr. Ileraington
this part was repeated, and that
gentleman became convinced that it ,
was the voice of his long absent broth- , t
?r, who had a precisely similar impediment
in his speech. Since the above
occurence the clue has been persistent[y
followed, and a few days ago the two
brothers were reunited after nineteen
j-ears. '

"King" of the Newsboys. <
"Davy" Stephens of Kingston, Ire- ^
land, claims the proud title of the king
of the newsboys. His claim is partly '
based on the fact that he has sold news- '
papers for fifty-four consecutive years, <
and partly on the fact that more fa- i
mous men and women have been .
among his patrons than any of his ,
rivals can boast. Thirty-nine years
ago "Davy" was on the dock when '
Queen Victoria landed on her first visit j
to Ireland, and sold her majesty a paper,
receiving in pay a gold sovereign.
On the queen's visit he was again on <
band and again made a sale at the same
high figure. Almost every great Englishman
of the last half century has
bought 'papers from "Davy" and 1
stopped to chat with him.
