A two years' study of Uizeh has con
vinced Flinders Petrie that the Eyp
tian stoncworkers of 4,000 years age
had a surprising acquaintance with
what had been considered modern tools.
Among the many tools used hy the
pliyiuinid builders were both solid and
tulmhir drills and straight and circulm
saws. Tho drills, like those of today,
were set with jewels (piobably coruu
dura, ss the diamond was very senroc),
tnd even lathe tools had such cutting
'ttes. So remarkable was the qualit.i
of the tubulin drills and the skill of the
workmen that the cutting marks in
hard (franite gave no indication of weai
of the tool while a cut of a tenth of an
inch was nindo in the hardest rock at
each revtdution, and a holo through
balh the hardest and softest roateriu)
was bored perfectly smooth and nnifonn
throughout. Of the material and
nietliod of making the tools nothing is

torod in her lower hold on fire.
The Ore made Its Unit appearance at
0:30 o'clock on Monday nluht. when
tho vessel was off Fenwicks island, on
tnocoant ol Maryland. The wildest
excitement followed the outbreak of
the lire, and several ol tho 11 steerage
passengers, all Jamaicans, endeavored
to w-izu the life bout. The third
ma lo, IVroy 8andets, was forced to
draw his revolver to prevent tho men
from tho steernijo leaving the burning
Htemffi r in the three lifeboats, which
could easily have aci-ornmo.latod the 45
.spongers and uicmUns of the crew.
Tho steerage passengers were forcol out
of the boats by Captain Walkei and his
men, ami wheti discipline was restored,
preparations were first made for the
"aving of the women and children of
l ho vessel. The lifclioat were lowered.
The se.i as quite oalui, and the ship's
oniiers stKxl by the ropo Imhlers. Thus
a panic was averted, uud the sufety of
the Ml ersoiis on board the Ardatihu
affined.
Tim heat was mi intense and tbe
smoke was so dense for a time that it
was unsafe for the passrngur to remain
on tho nptttti deck. They were all or
dered forward, and the women and
children were first pot Into tho life
boats, ca h of which had a full supply
of food and water on board, and were
Hipplied with compasses ami signal
rockets. It was nearly midnight when
Captain Wulkci consideied that he had
the liro under control and decided to
continue on his way to New York.
The woini-n and children were taken
b.iek to the steamer, and tho lifelioats
were hoisted to the davits, but were
not taken on board.
The officer fiom that time on kept

WEEKLY MARKET LETT Err.
I, Reported bT Pownlna. Ilo, ln. A Co., Inr ,
Cummin- buildius, I'ortlaud, Oreijou.)
The wheat trade has droppe.l into
a condition where no one except scalp
ets and a few professional traders, ex
IKiitct. and elevator eople are touch
ing It. There is a piouiise ol carrying
charge in the neat future , and aa ele
vator people have no stock, they are
oonitnciiciug to buy the daily arrivals.
Milleis are buying a little, and export
er who have tuide good sales abroad
for uesr shipments are also competing
for the arrival. The big speculator
are mostly on the short side. They sell
whenever the market has an upturn,
and their offerings are sufficient to pre
vent bulges of material length. Uu
the break of I to 1 cents they covered
part of their line, taking their ptoflts,
only to put the wheat out aga'n at the
same pi lee to possibly a shade better.
They are woikiug on tbe crop repoit.
Their advices from the Not th west ara
favorable. A ptlvato statistician esti
mates the spring crop wheat at 800,
000,000 bushels. Placing the wiuter
wheat yield at 400,000,000 bushels, it
would make an aggregate crop of spring
and winter ol 700,000,000 bushels.
This is the Isrgeat on record. Conser
vative people place the crop at 000,.
000,000 bushel, and the government
figures mads the yield BIS.OOO.OIC
hushtds, or 89,000,000 buehel less than
a month ago. Statistician Snow makei
the ipring wheat acreage 1H.000.00C
sores, which exceeda that of the govern
ment. The acreage of the department
of agriculture this year is nearer th
actual seeding than at any time in in
histoiy, and possibly when the final re-i-ort
is made it will show that the crop
is about aa reported, aa it ia able to get
nearer tbe correct figure than ever he
lore. Present price are about the aame as
last year, but then farmers did not
have a taste of fl wheat, and where
anxious to sell. Having been treated
to a dollar wheat, most of them think
that they should have higher pi Ices
again. Hhoiiln the corn orop be ma
terially damaged and sell at high prices,
It may help wheat a little, but the out
look is not particularly favorable. Tbe
exports for tho year ending June 30
were 216,000,000 bushols of flour and
wheat, against 145,000,000 bushels the
preceding year.

The farmer' Table.
A farmer can keep n good tnble at
loss cost than nny one else. He can
keep an orchard with all kinds of fruit,
a garden with nil kinds of vegetables;
In fact, anything that can be grown bo
may have It fresh at his own door and
at the actual cost of production. Tho
farmer's occupation, although It con
tains a good denl of hard work aud
some drawbacks, Is generally five and
healthful, and perhaps the most Inde
pendent of nny. There Is no mnchlno
work such a Is generally found lu a
shop, where tho operator have to do
duo thing all the time. Tho work Is
constantly changing, mnklng It more
Interesting and less tiresome. Situa
tions Are constantly varying, . giving
plenty of scope for study nnd Judg
ment as to the best method to tie used
lu each particular cusc Farming.
Pnmmer Care of Cellar.
Tho necessities of our climate forbid
much veutllutlon of cellars lu winter so
aa to nrcvont dancer of freezing. Un
doubtedly this Is an Injury to health,
as tho odors and also the bacteria gen
crated In decaying vegetation arc car
ried upward through tho living rooms.
In tho cellar la often to bo found the
cause of much of tho prevalent spring
malaria. It Is all tho worse If the cel
lar Is kept closed while tho outside air
grows warmer, and sunshine getting
Into the cellar makes vegetation rot
more rapidly. Tbe health of tho fam
ily require that cellar should bo ope n
nl both to sunlight and to fresh air all
through tho summer. If the walls nro
well whitewashed, that Itself will do
much to check decay. Llmo Is a great
ohaorbcr of moisture, and also of foul
odors. If tho cellar Is made light by
whitening Its walls. It Is much more
likely to be kept clean than If left In
such darkness a It must needs be In
winter, when a clean cellar Is hardly
among the things to bo expected.
American Cultivator.
Growing: Mnaksnelon.
.The niuskmelon Is much more prolific
than tbe watermelon, lleiico though
Its price 1 generally low, It can bo re
lied upon In an ordinary season for a
fair profit, especially for those produc
ed early. Tho best way Is to start tho
seeds In Inverted sods, which can 1ms
kept under gluss until tho weather Is
warm enough to Allow them to bo trans
planted to the field where they are to
grow. Whenever homegrown musk
rnelons are ready, they entirely super
sede tho stock brought from the South.
Tho yellow variolic arc too mushy for
most taste. Tho fine netted, green
fleshod varieties are liked by every
body, and those that are home grown
never lack a market
Potato Una on Tomatoes.
A few tomatoes In tho garden are
often grown by people who have not
room enough to grow potatoes or prefer
to buy them. Hucn peoplo are often
surprised to And potato bug flying on
their tomato jdant and laying their
yellow-colored eggs on the underside of
tbe leaves. Tbe larva, when batched,
will eat the tomato leaves aa voracious
ly aa If they were of It usual diet. By
what Instinct this post learns that to
matoe, potatoes nnd the egg plant all
belong to tho same family of plants,
and are each adapted to It use, nobody
can guess. If the potato beetle la forced
to lay egg on weeds or grass, though
these eggs w 111 hatch, the young larvae
perish before they can reach maturity.
It Is probably fortunate that this Is so.
else tbe potato beetle might In-come a
general destroyer of All kinds of vege
tables, and be a much worse pest than
It now I.
Lota of Nitrogen.
The French scientist, M. iK-beraln,
bas reported to tbe Purls Academy of
Helenccs tbe result of an extended
series of agricultural experiments,
which may prove of practical value to
American farmers. Ill experiment
confirm those conducted at Robamated,
which show that tbe loss of nitrogen
from fallow lands by drainage water I
Biucb greater than tbe loaa from lan da
covered with vegetation. Though the
ajpvrUnenU of tkhlocslut; led him to
Infer that this loss Is InslgiinVnnf. the
opinion of the former observer seem
to be better sustained and more rea
sonable. M. lvhcrnln, therefore, con
cludes that "the loss from naked soils
Is Infinitely greater than that from hind
sown In wheat," nnd hence Hint It is
good policy for farmers to follow tip
crops such as wheat with some kind of
iiiituinu crop.

considered Indispensable for horses by
those who know how to keep hordes In

si-ed drills nnd wheel hoe carrots can
now be grown on large ureas with but
little lalnir compared with n few years
ago. After they are well started they
may le worked with horse hoe or cul
tivators;. They possess but little value

the farm they glvo letter results than

had ready for use.
Kjre Among Wheat.
Wherever winter wheat Is grown the
mixture of rye with It In seeding ns
considered very careless farming. It Is
tolerated, however, by some, lieeause In
A bad season or wheu the laud Is lu
poor condition the ryo will out.vlehl the
wheat, which Is shown by the Increased
proportion of rye In the crop each suc
ceeding year. It Is not nt all hard to
clear rye out of wheot. The rye Is much
taller, and It shoots Into head several
days before the wheat does. Where
there Is not too large a prosjrtlon of rye
It can h easily cut out before the
wheat heads out by n man going
through the lb-Id with a sharp knife. A
little ryo among wheat makes It hard
to sell, except nt a reduction of several
cents per bushel. xehnnge.
Kxperlmcnt tn Fccdln Hon.
The XI on l ana KxiH-rlmeut Station has
been trying cxiK-rlnients In feeding
pigs, dividing them Into three lots. One
was fed on hurley meal exclusively, lot
two ou barley and wheat ground to
gether, and lot three on nil three grains
mixed. As might be expected, tho last
lot made the greatest gain and nt tho
least expense. Tho barley and corn to
gether was bettor than either nlone,
though there wns tn either of these n
more poorly balanced ration thnu when
either was combined with wheat. And
yet how Infrequently Is this principle
npplled In feeding of hogs for pork.
Some wheat middlings will bo eaten
greedily by coru-fed hogs, nnd will be
worth more than Its weight In com.
The Colt'a Kcct.
Neither tbe bones of the coil's leg nor
tho muscles and hoof of his foot have
acquired stifllcleut firmness to enable
It to bo put ou stable floors of either
wood, stone or cement. If fur any ren
sou tho colt cnuot run with Its dam
whllo she Is at work, let It hnvo a yard
by Itself with a turf flooring, rather
than put him In n floored stable. It Is
while tho colt Is young that the future
character of his feet Is being decided.
Even lu winter colts should Ixt kept
rather In box stalls, where a liedillng of
their own excrement trodden hard will
bo a better cushion for their feet than
tho most carefully cleaned Hour stable
could be.
Tho Heat Market.
The uoarest towu Is tho N-sr mnrk t
AUd deserves ooiMldernlloil. It Is not
unusual lo witness heavy shipments of
fruit And vegetables to Hid large cities,
which may not bring (iiough to pay
freight some years, when tho consum
ers living nt the shipping point ennuot
get A supply of ccDultl ni'lleles tllileas
they pay tho highest price. It Is a
well-kuown fact that tr.iiny towns situ
ated In tho midst of rich agricultural
regions buy their supplies of tho very
articles grown near them from tho
largo cities. In nil towns tho enter
prising farmers can build up a local
custom that will bo profitable.
Cultivation of Corn,
After tho corn Is planted keep the
land clean. Do not allow grnss to make
a start or weeds more than peep aUive
tho ground. The first month with corn,
giving It a good soiid-on heforo diy
weuther appears, Is nne-hnlf the advan
tage, aud any plaining should 1m- done
without delay. It Is better to use plen
ty of seed, and pull out nil plants not
wanted, than to use s;ed sparingly,
Cutworms nnd bird will secure A por
tion of the crop at the start, but the
tnoro rapid tho growth of the young
corn the less liability of ilaimif.e.
Intensive, r'urmlnu-
Ppeclnl farming Is usually successful
farming, because the farmer who di
rects his attention to one or a very few
lines Is apt to glvo those good atten
tion, with the result that he gets larger
yields per acre than (loos the general
farmer. It Is the larger yields that
glvo profit A yield of thirty bushel
of wheat jier acre, costing $15 an aero
to produco and selling nt 70 cents a
bushel, Is more profitable than a crop
yielding ten bushels per acre, costing
(10 per ncre to raise and selling at (1
per bushel. Ilurul World.'

In a 'nr, may be known to every
fanner who has a herd, but only a few
of them know the exact quantities for

because they do not keep records. Then
