The PyrmmMU.
In visiting the pyramid* the qnestioas
to be determined were, In many cue*, al
most hopeless of solution. Strange aa it
may teem, no two estimates of the exact
aue ot the Great Pyramid agreed with
each other. In apite of the lmmenae mam
of written and printed observations, it waa
still a question how many Pharaoha were
engaged on the building. The compara
tive antiquity of this pyramid and the
other fifty or sixty that have been exam
ined waa unknown. The absolute age of
the pyramid building dynasties is still, and
must long be undetermined. The methods
of working were unknown, and no reason
able new had been propounded as to the
tools with which such stupendous results
were obtained. The object to be reached
by rearing such masses of almost solid ma
sonry, was a matter of keen controversy.
No intelligent survey of the whole pyramid
platform, no correct plan and section, no
distinct enunciation of the problems evol
ved were accessible. We had only the
opinions of prejudiced observers, siring
pet hobbies of their own, or careless exag
gerations of facts, curious enough, no
doubt, in themselves, but presented in
such a fashion as to complicate rather than
elucidate the difficulty. The Council of
the Royal Society appears to have satisfied
itself that Mr. Petrie had worked in a
straightforward way, inclining neither to
this opinion nor to that, until the whole of
the facts which qould be ascertained was
before him, and that even then he had
proceeded m so cautious a manner that his
work, while it remains a monument of the
possibilities of modem scientific inquiry,
will hereafter be found rather the indispen
sable basis of future inquiry than a conclu
sive statement itself. The soundness of
the great mass of calculations which he
has brought home can only be proved by
yean of investigation; but it may safely be
said that nine-tenths of them will be found
wholly new, and that the very soberness
and moderation of his conclusions, while
they place him immeasurably above mere
theorists, will at the same time in all prob
ability be pushed by others tar beyond
anything he has ventured to assert. This
is as it should be. Investigators are seldom
content, as he is, to state facts only; but it
is their province to provide facts for those
who know how to use them, though it is not
in their power to prevent a misuse of what
they have brought together by rash or
prejudiced or interested partisans.
Mr. Petrie went the right way to work.
Without extraneous assistance he took his
baggage out to the pyramids in the
autumn of 1680, and set up for himself in
one of the numerous tombs between the
edge of the pyramid platform and the Arab
village. There, with little but native so
ciety, and with rare visits to Cairo, he re
mained till May, 1881, and, returning in
October ot the same year, resumed his
troglody tic existence for another winter,
with only the break of a run up the Nile
for a couple of months, The tomb he
occupied had been forne 1, used by Mr.
Waynman Dixon, and bad a deer and
shutters. Mr. Petrie strengthened them,
and fitted up shelves and a hammock. Re
hired an Arab servant who had previously
been employed by Mr. Smith, Mr. D,xon
and Mr, Gill, and wbe was too well accus
tomed to the ways of explorers to think
anything strange. Mr. Petrie observed
that the temperature of his dwelling- place
which was cut in the solid limestone rock,
did not vaiy more than from 68d^s to 64dga
during tne winter months, and only reached
80dg8. wben a hot wind raised the outer
air to lOOdgs. His days’ work often com
menced before daybreak. He rose, lighted
his petroleum stove and boiled his settle
while he had his bath. During breakfast,
he held literally a levee, as he left the door
of the tomb open and received his Arab
friends and the men or children as they
passed on their way to work. Sometime?,
when excavations were going on, he hau
to go out before breakfast to set his men to
work. When examining the interior of
the Great Pyramid, he always began in the
evening, when tourists were gone and
worked till midnight, and occasionally till
the following morning. At six or seven in
the evening, he again lighted his stove and
sat down to reduce the observations he had
made with his theodolite during the day.
Dinner followed, cooking and feeding go
ing on together. He found brown ship
biscuit, finned soups, tomatoes, tap o a and
chocolate to be the most convenient and
sustaining articles of food. He did not
consiuer a heavy meal suitable after ten
hours’ last in the heat of the day, but it
was impossible to move his instiuments
and stop his work for a midday meal.
Finally he had to wash up his plates and
dishes, aa the Arab idea of cleanliness waa
not to be trusted, and he sat down again
to reduce observations and write untii
midnight. Prom this summary, it will be
seen how seriously he set about his self-
imposed task.
There can be no doubt that to many
people all over the world—too many, in
deed, who have no hope or intention of
visiting Egypt—the small piece of desert
plateau opposite the village of Geezeh;
though less than half a mile across, is the
moat remarkable of its size in the world.
There may be seen the very beginnings of
architecture, the most enormous piles of
buildings ever raised, and, strange as it
may seem, the moat accurate workmanship,
the most caieful system of (.construction,
the finest masonry, and the use of the most
ingenious tools. The largest statue in the
world, the Sphinx, is there: and there was
found wbat all who have seen it acknow
ledge to be one of the most perfect cornbi-
tionB of technical skill and artistic expres
sion in statuary which have ever been
carved. The diorite statue of Elhrafra, the
builder, as Mr. Petrie has at length con
clusively proved, of the Second Pyramid,
is now in the Boolak Museum, where it
excites m the minds of those who know
anything about sculpture, the same kind of
surprise as that excited by the vast masses
of the pyramids themselves.

To Ksbp Vxbt Shaded Enacts
Geeks.—Especially in the front yards
of dwellings, both in town and country,
which are much shaded, we often see
the ground completely bare, not a liv
ing thing being perceptible. Sometimes
there are many nearly nude, straggling
ltmoi lying upon the ground or very
near it, which are unsightly and every
way worthless, that ought to be out
away. This would give room tor the
growing there of some plant or vine
that would be adapted to it, and which
would not only cover tbe naked spot
and make it a living “green,"but would
be adding much to the general appear
ance of the premiues. The beat vine
for this purpose is undoubtedly the pe
riwinkle. 1 will grow almost anywhere
in the shade if the proper attention is
given to it, but not otherwise. It is a
beantifnl vine and will densely cover
the ground, producing nearly the whole
season a very pretty blue flower. Weeds,
however, are its deadly enemies. It can
notfightthem-Steadily they will enrosch
until they drive away our favorite and
occupy the field of battle. A little help
now and then, however, will defeat the
common enemy, and allow us to enjoy
the oool-lootong, popular evergreen for
many years without renewal.
Thunder Storms.
The frequency of thunder-storms in
Switzerland last summer has afforded
.Professor Collation, of Geneva, a great
authority oh electricity and meteorology,
ample opportunity for continuing his obser
vations on the effect of lightning on trees
and vegetation generally. ~ He has ascer
tained that when lightning strikes a tree it
leaves very few marks of its passage on
the upper part and middle of the trunk, a
peculiarity wbicn he ascribes to lhe fact ol
those parts being more impiegnated with
sugar, a good conductor, than the loner
part, Aa the electric fluid descends to the
neighborhood of the heavier branches,
where there is lea saccharine matter, it
tears open the bark and in many instances
shivers tbe trees, It is no uncommon
thing to find the loner part of the tree
literally cut by the lightning; while the
upper portions and the higher branches
seem to have suffered hardly at all. Oaks,
however, would appear to present an
exception to the rule, for they are often
found with tope quite blasied and the paa
sage of tbe lightning lower down marked
by a guage-hke furrow. These furrows
sometimes go completely round the tree
like a screw, the reason of which is said to
bo that tbe lightning follows the cells of
which tbe bark is composed lingthwise,
and m certain sorts of wood these cells are
disposed spirally.

Egyptian Cohn.—A cereal recently
introauced into Kansas and New Men
oo, it is said, waa originally brought
from Southern Russia. The first
knowledge we had of its introduction
into this country, was some seed sent to
ns last season from San Anglos, Cali
fornia, where it is sometimes called
pampas rioo. We planted it as soon as
reoeived, and though it grew vigorously
ane obtained a good growth for our cli
mate, it failed to open. We were told
that it was used in California principally
as food for fowl, no mention being made
of its use for bread. It is a cereal re
sembling very much our common millet
although we should think the kernel is
somewhat larger. It would undoubtedly
constitute a good feed for stock the same
as miilet does, though we have known
the latter to be ground like Indian com
and used for bread, which was said to
be nearly aa palatable and nutritions as
that made from comment. If, aa is sta
ted, it is unaffected by drought, worms
ami grasshoppers and other pests, and
is largely productive, we see no reason
why it may not constitute a staple of
production among farmers in those
states where the seasons are longer, and
the olimates less rigorous than in New
England. We advise our farmers to
make a trial of it.
Kkefzng Eggs.-Thera is always some
risk in keeping eggs a long time, and
those not absolutely fresh will never
sell well. When eggs stand long in one
position the yolk gets down against the
shell, ond if there is any evaporation, it
soon either adheres to the shell or be
comes a little tainted. Eggs may be
greased and packed in oats in barrels
headed up tight, kept cool and dry,and
rolled or inverted, or both, every few
days. Thus they will keep, and when
wanted for market must be rolled in
bran or meal to get the grease off, aud
perhaps dipped in lime water to give
them a fresh look. How long they may
be kept thus we do not know, but sev
eral months at least. Eggs will keep in
lime water, but it is difficult to turn or
roll the barrels, and so the yolk gets
against the shell, and besides the shell
looks very chalky,and their sale is hart.
The best way is, probably, to pack the
fresh eggs in a barrel with meal or bran
setting them on end, using no grease,
for the meal absorbs it and turns ran
cid. Head up the barrel and invert
once a week, and keep in a cool, dry
place.
The beet is one of the best of the ear
ly vegetables, and shonld be found in
tbe gardens of farmers everywhere. The
cultivation of beets is a simple matter.
They require, in order to give tbe beat
results, only land, thorough tillage and
absolute freedom from weeds, bow as
early in the spring aa the ground can be
got in good working order. Make the
rows fifteen inches apart and drop the
seed ah inch apart in the row. If sown
ve.y early, and especially if the soil is
heavy and cold, It is very desirable to
sow the seed thick, say hail an inch
apart. Thin the plants before they be
gin so crowd each other, letting the
plants stand from three to five inches
apart in the row.
The soil may be deficient in one sub
stance and abounding in another. It
may be considered rich when sown to a
certain crop, and be too poor for anoth
er. A knowledge of this fact has en
abled chemists to formulate special fer
tilizers for peculiar soils and particular
crops, whioh enable! farmers to econo
mize in purchasing by avoiding the use
of substances that exist m the soil, the
saving m snch purchase! teing applied
to procuring that which is deficient.
No two plants derive the. same propor
tions of food from the soil, nor do any
two varieties feed on exaotly the same
kind of lertilizmgmaterial.For instance,
clover pre'ers a liberal snpply of pot
ash and lime, while the cereals do bet
ter with phosphoric acid and nitrogen.

To make meat cheese.—Boil an ox’s
liver, heart, and tongue; remove all
the hard and sinewy parts, and chop
the remainder fine: add to this half a
pound of boiled pork, also chopped
fine; season it well; then tie in a cloth
or put it into a pan, and press it hard.
After standing a few hours it will oome

It is time to forget all about old-fash
ioned cookery; to seize the newest and
enjoy the present is the watchword.
The quantity and quality of one’a food
is meeting with much thought and
many words from the wiaeaarea of the
present, and with their maxims and
methods spread before ns, one is
almost afraid to attempt anything that
does not savor of scientific rules. But
the bright and ready housewife need
not doubt her skill. Where- there is a
will there is a way.
Exfebixncx is a good teacher, and
perseverance will bring sneeesa. The
“Dinner Table” introduced sauces -last
week, but was interrupted, and tbe
recipes were left out. It waa said some
years since that we were a nation of a
single sanoe; it may have been so, but
we are wiser now. Weil made sanoes
are the perfection of cooking,_a decora
tive art that improves plain dishes, and
makes the cheaper eats of meat inviting
and palatable. The clarified white
stock must always be ready as a basis
for any sauce.
With boiled poultry serve celery
sauce, The celery is simmered until
tender. Then make a sauce by putting
a tablespoonful of butter into a sauce
pan, aud when it bubbles up star in
slowly a tablespoonful of flour. When
cooked, season, and add half a pint of
stock and half pint of boiling cream,
and the oelery ont in small pieces. Let
it boil np one minute. Serve hot. The
sauce can be made without tbe cream
and oelery with a pint of boiling stock
and the addition of two or three beaten
yolks of eggs, a teaapoonful of lemon
juice, pepper and salt.
An agricultural paper whioh strongly
advocates the use of air-slakel lime as
a fertilizer says: “Lime is the driving
wheel in the manurial laboratory, start
ing all the rett into action, and impart
ing to a soil that life and power that is
necessary in tie production of good
crops, Applications of lime ahonld be
made every four or five years, and or
ganic matter in some form every year,
and if this is done any land will pro
duce paying crops. The farmer who
has not trei it shonld go abont it at
once. ”
Farmers who have kept a strict ac
count with their stock say that a pound
of poultry can be made for less than a
pound of pork, yet the laboring man
who has to bay both feels that he can
not afford to buv poultry very often, aa
it costs more than any other meats.
This leads the Concord Monitor to re
mark that tbe poultry-growing business
may be mnch extended before the mar
ket will be overstocked so as to bring
tbe price do n to where it will not pay
to raise.

Preventive of Boiler Incrustation,—
A new and curious use for the eucalyp
tus tree, already famed as an antidote
to malaria, was discovered by accident
lately in California. The leaves, it has
been found, act as a preventive of that
incrustation of steam boilers which
leads to their gradual oorrosion, and
is so fruitful a cause of explosions.
Many oddly dissimilar subs tan oes have
been tried to prevent the formation at
this destructive “scale,” as it is nailed
—bran, potatoes, wood, ooblast raise,
sodium, chemical compounds of various
kinds, aud numberless mechanical con
trivances—but all with little or no effect.

Sauce tabtabs.—Mix the following
ingredients with a pint of good mayon

wanted for use: One teaapoonful of
chopped shallot or white onion, one
tablespoonful each of finely chopped
capers, paisley, and pickled gherkins ;
in the spring and slimmer add one table-
spoonful of chopped green tarragon ; in
the winter substitute' the sprig of tar
ragon which. is always placed in the

A pin cushion whioh is very hand

white laoe is laid with the plain edge
tucked down between the pleating and

A new and striking design for
square oover for a table is to make the
centre of plain satin, then pat on

figured velvet and brocade are mneh
more effective, though the plain pieces
may be ornamented with embroidery,
which adds greatly to the beauty of
the whole.

A very useful rheostat lias been de
vised by M. Tiouve. the well known
Parisian inventor. It consists of a Ger
man-silver spring inclosed In a nickel-
plated tube, the spirals not being al
lowed to touch each other,and Insulated
from the tube by a pasteboard sheath
ing. Inside the spring is a robbing
contact formed of a metal rod split into
four parts, like the split plngB of a re
sistance box. The rod is graduated in
divisions. The current enter i at one
end of the spnhg, traverses it, the rob
bing contact, and the graduated rod.
When the rod is deeply inserted into
the spiral coil, the current only traver
ses a few turns, and the resistance in
circnit is very small; bnt wben the rod
is pulled out, the number of turns in
serted is considerable. The divisions
on the scale tell the nnmber of turns in
circuit. The device is employed by
