““ WAITING F:OR- MOTHER” THE old man gits in his easy-chair, Slumbering the moments away, Dreaming a dream that is all his own, - On this gladsome, peaceful day. - 3 His children have gathered from far and near, \ His children’s chudren beside, And merlriy voices are echoing through The * Homestead’s” halls, 80 wide. But far away in the years long flown - . Grandfather lives again ; And his heart forgets that it ever knew A shadow of grief and pain, For he sees his wife as he saw her then— A matron comely and fair, . With her children gathered around his board And never a vacant chair. Oh! ha%py tp;is dream of the ‘‘ Anld Lang : yne, : ‘ | Of the years long sli away! | And the old man’s lipspme za.t.ﬁei'ed a smile And his heart grows young and gay. But a kiss-falls gently upon his brow, From his daughter’s lips so true; g ** Dinner is ready; and, Father, dear, We are only wailing for you!" The old man wakes at his daughter’s call, And he looks at the table near. ** There's one¢ of us missing, my child,”’ he says: *“We will wait till Mocher is here.” There zﬁ"e tears in the eyes of his children , on. 8 e : As they gaze on ant emgty chair; For many a lonely year has passed | - Since * Hother sat with them there.

} THE PYRAMIDS. - . Interesting Information About the Great Egyptian Monuments, . THE great pyramid stands almost at - the be%inning of the first monumental age. lts date would be before at least B. C. 2350 by the length. of the second and third chasms; in other words the length of these two unknown periods must be added to at least B. C. 2350 if we would obtain the date of the pyramid. .We must, therefore, surrender Napoleon’s forty centuries, How much we must add to them is yet to be discovered. k. The age of the pyramids is doubtful. The object for which they were built is certain There is no need here to examine curious speculations*to which | their measures have, like the numbers o{ Manetho’s list, seemed to offer themselves with g strange facility, like false lights that lead a travelerinto the quicksands. They were royal tombs and nothing more. We ne‘e(i7 not draw any idea of astronomical use from their facing the cardinal points, whereas the Chaldean pyramids pointed to them, nor, in the case of the great pyramid, from the curious ecircumstance that at the time of its building its entrance passage pointed to the then pole-star, a Draconis, nor from the excellent platform for astronomical observation on its summit, nor from its chief measures being in exact Egyptian cubits without fractions. There maﬁ,have been a religious reason for the orientation of this and the other Egyptian pyramids, - but it is quite obvious that a deviation of direction would have produced a disagreeable 'discord” in the placing of’ these geometrically-shaped buildings. It was no use to point a p:&sage to the pole-star, as it had to be closed at the completion of the structure after the King’'s .sepulture. The platform did not exist when the casing of the monu‘ment was complete to its apex. The most famous buildings of antighity: were constructed of fuﬁ measures with- | out fractions in all their ch;?f dimensions. . What perhaps origindted in the difficulty of ob‘sei‘vin%' due proportion when fractions were allowed, became a matter of religion. B i The pﬁramids then were tombs of Kings. Each had its name. The great pyramid -was called “¢the Splendid;” the second pyramid, strangelyenough, ‘‘the Great;’ the third pyramid, ¢¢the Superior.” Each must have been the chief object of a King’s reign. Begun at, or perhaps in some cases before, his accession, it was built on a ‘plan which allowed constant addition and speedy completion.. Thus the pyramids are the measures of the reigns of those who built them, and happily in many cases we know from the tombs around who these royal builders were. g The main principles-of an Egyptian tomb, of this age, are the same in the pyramids and in the smaller built _tombs, though the mode in which the &)‘rincipl-es are carried out is. different. hese smaller tombs consist of a quadrangular mass of masonry, like an oblong truncated pyramid, having a pit, entered.from above, descending to a sepulchral chamber cut in the rock beineath; and within is also a chapel, en‘tered from an external door, and a 'secret chamber to contain statues of -the deceased. The pyramids represent the purely sepulchral part of these. structures. In front of the entrance of each was a chapel, to which was probably attached a secret chamber. The form of the pyramid is probably traceable to the natural shapes of the desert mountains. . All Egyptian architecture is 'characterized by the sam® sloping lines as these mountains, varying like them from the sharp inclination of the pyramids to the very slight slope of the built tombs, and, it may be added, of all the girea.t massive - gateways of the latér temples. Whether these forms were thus derived or not, their adoption must have been due to their extreme strength. The manner in which the pyramids were constructed was first shown in Prof. Lepsius’, ‘‘ Letters from Egypt."” The objects of the royal builders were strength of position, a secure glace‘ of sepulture, and a method b{ which the monument could be gradually increased from dyear to year and finished with little delay when the Ring’s deathmade this necessary. A site was chosen on the low table land of the Libyian desert, and a slight elevation was selected as a peg on which the structure should, as it were, be pivoted. In this core of rock a s]api:age‘.descending passage; -qsuallty _entered from the north, was cut, of sufficient size for the conveyance of & s‘b}re’bphaﬁa‘ rus leading to a sepulchral chamber. ‘Above and around the rock a solid structure of masonr was taised of cubical form but witg slightly sloping sides. In the case of the King’s death, at this stage of the \mk,f'igeg‘fyn d Wgﬂ% nce completed bynﬂe addition of Mﬁiﬁg"t@if magges and a pyramidalcap. Roughly this additi’qmyfgzyqu did not exe:é?l ig‘quantity the first construction, exclud--ing the'excavation. If the King lived : E Gy Ei b

on, the first constructioun was enlarged on each of its four sides, so as to form a great platform on which a second central mass was raised, and a pyramid of two degrees without filled in angles was forméd. At this stage again the work could be comﬁleted if necessary, or if the King still lived, each platform, from the lowest, could be increased on the same principle. The form of the pyramid of steps at Sakkarah, the central monument of the necropolis of Memphis, is a %oo‘d illustration of the general principle, and the cha.ntge of angle in the southern pyramid of Dashoor, is valuable as a probable instance of hasty completion. . . _ Thus, the first thing that strikes us in these oldest of contemporary pictures is their extreme reticence as to religion. - There is a short prayer, characteristically not directly addressed as in latter times to Osiris, but to Anubis, an inferior divinity of his family. Its purport is sim.pliy; for the welfare lf the chief person of the tomb in the divine underworld. We miss the appeal of later inscriptions to the voyage up and down the beloved river, toward which most of the Egyptian tombs: look, to repeat the inscribed formula for the good of the soul of the deceased. In the tomb there is but a slight indication of its purpose, the occasional representation of the occupant as a mummy. No ceremonies of sepulture are pictured, no passages of ,the ‘‘ritual’’ inscribed. We are at an extreme limit of Egyptian usage in this respect, and it is not till the end of the monarchy that the other extreme is usual, religious subjects having gradually won a preponderance. S . Still more remarkable is the absence of pictures of the King, even in tombs of members of his family, unlike the usage of the Empire, in the tombs of which we sometimes see the King receiving the homage of his subject. It would seem that at this remote time the Pharaoh stood as high above his subjects in rank as his pyramid overtopped their modest sepulchers. Even a Queen is spoken of as having had the honor of seeing the King. The most important priestly function seems to have been the priesthood of each King, to which was intrusted the ceremonial of his sepulchral chapel. Each great man held 'priestly, military and ecivil power, or at least could do so. There was not at this time the distinction into classes, and the habit of hereditary transmiassion of functions, that made the later system from the Empire downward almost one of castes. It is also significant that nearly all the high functionaries are of the blood royal, though there is a remarkable exception in the cdse'of an able man who probably rose from the ranks and was rewarded by a marriage with a Princess, Ti, whose beautiful tomb at Sakkaggh is one of the most interesting of the many sights of Memphis.— Contemporary Review.

" Various Hints About Dresses. Ecru woolen dresses of Bayonnaise (resembling tamise cloth), or of cashmere or camel’s-hair, will be greatly in favor for early spring, trimn%ed with contrasting colors, such as claret-col-ored striped satin, or small-figured blue or brown brocadedsilk, or else the new chintz-figured foulards in gay Pompadour colors. The buttons to go with such dress are flat pearl gilded, and tinted and inlaid with colors to correspond with the trimmings. Sometimes the striped silk used for the trimmings has all the varied tints that are seen in the buttons. ; The new Pompadour foulards, the challies and the cotton satteens, for lawn and garden parties and for the country in midsummer, are made up in Pompadour styles, with squarelytrimmed neck and elbow sleeves to t[sxle | over-dresses, shirred fichu collars, and many rows of Breton insertions, also jabots of Breton lace, with most co%uettish bows of narrow satin ribbon. ‘ery light, delicate tints in these dresses are heightened by contrasts with dark colors. Thus on a gay chintz satteen of ivory white ground strewn with small pink and blue sprays the facings and pipings are ecru, and the ribbon bows are dark wine-color tied up with pale Sevres blue. There is also satteen suits of cream and blue in contrast, and the result is as dainty a dress as was ever seen on a Dresden China shepherdess or in a Watteau painting. The specidl novelty in batistes is the use of dark rich colors in small stripes, such as Roman colors on black or brown grounds, and’ Poms)ladour colors on deep blue or green. These new batistes are made up in combination with silk of the prevailing shade, or else solid-colored batiste. =The ecru aad cream-tinted batistes remain in favor, } and are prettily trimmed with jabots of Breton lace, and with vests and re-] trousse bands of satin-striped batiste, which is sometimes va.rietliJ with lacelike stripes. ' The shirred aprons and soft bouffant back- puﬁi;ngis are to be seen with good effect on these dresses, Pink, blue and lilac-striped batistes with whité are also shown. el

The new black grenadine dresses have satin accessories and jet ornaments, jet galloon, much shirring, and a great deal of black Breton lace in pleatings, or else French lace pleated, or perhaps. grass fringe. These rich trimmings are used on the plain squaremeshed grenadines. The new black striped grenadines are very eiegant, with inch-wide stripes of moire, or satin, or velvet. The colored grenadines represent the gay many-hued stripes seen in silks and in the new batistes; there are also chintz-figured and watered stx‘li:ges in gay colors. . ; ru pongee suits are imﬁorted with embroidered vests that are headed and ~wrought in darker brown shades; cuffs, pockets and collars are also wrought to match, - . ¢ e Black summer camel's-hair dresses have vest basques, with the vest of satin outlined with pleated French lace, or with jet galloon or crimped fringe. The shirreg front of the over’-slgrn parts above the knees, is ornamented by the jet pendants, -and is_bordered with fnnfse and jet galloon; below this the skirils covered with satin pleats. se%amtqdp by lenghtwise rows of the ; gia. oon. Many looped bows of narrow. 'black satin ribbon hold the bouffant | dra};’egr on the sides and back.—Harper’'s Bazar. : N

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. A riNiNG of tarred paper in poultry houses is recommended as a preventive for lice—lowa State Register. Ir it is not already done, sort over the fruit and vegetables in your cellar and carry out everythinlf' that is decayed; ventilate. the. cellar and give a thorough coat of whitewash. There is no more ecertain source of fevers and diphtheria than decaying vegetation in the cellar.—N. Y. Sun. It is a mistake to remove the straw coverings from plants that have been protected during the winter when the first'warm days come. The most dangerous time for such shrubs and bushes is during the alternate freezing and thawing of early spring. Let the covering remain on until all danger from cold nights is past.—Eaxchange.

~ CHOOSE ' medium-sized, well-formed eggs for hatching; let them be neither over nor under sized, and with smooth, hard-surfaced shells. There is no truth in the idea that long or (})ointed eggs produce cocks, and round, short eggs pullets. Itis impossible to determine sex. Eggs should be as freshly laid as possible. In winter gather the eggs from the nests frequently to pref vent their becoming chilled.—¥. Y. Herald. ; L HoME-MADE CORNED BEEF.—Take saltpetre, pound it, and use sufficient to rub well over the beef. Make a mixture of a teaspoonful of red pepper, one-half a cup of brown sugar, and a cupful of salt. After having rubbed on the saltpetre, use the pepper, brown sugar, and salt in the same way. Let the beef, after having been so treated, remain in a dish for one day; next day make a pickle strong enough to hold an egg, and put in the beef. The beef is to remain in the pickle for ten days to two weeks, according to size of the piece. For fifteen pounds of meat two weeks is necessary. In cooking, boil very slowly for two and one-half hours. The beef becomes more tender if allowed to remain for a half hour in the pot before removing it.—N. Y. Times. LET me publish to the sheep-raising world a remedy against the destruction of sheep by dogs which was given me a short time since by a highly respectable and valued friend, himself an extensive wool grower. Itconsists simply in placing on one sheep in every ten of the flock a bell of the usual size for sheep. The instinct of the dog prompts him to do all his acts ina sly, stealthy manner; his attacks upon sheep are most frequently made at night while they are at rest, and the simultaneous jingling of all the bells strikes terror to the doge; they turn their tails and leave the sheep, fearing the noise of the bells will lead to their exposure. The ratio of bells may be made to vary according to the size of the flock.— Richmond Whig. : o .To BOIL RICE SAVANNAH FASHION. —Take one pound of rice and pick it thoroughly to ‘get out black seeds or red rice. Put on the fire, in a porcelain or tin-lined- pot, three quarts of water, with two even tablespoonfuls of: salt. .Let the water come to a boil. Now wash the rice in three waters. The reason for this is to get rid of the pulverized rice-flour which adheres to the grain. This is a necessity; otherwise the rice never will -be dry. Throw the rice'in the water when it is at the full boil. Let the rice boil rapidly for twenty minutes. Put the cover on and drain the water entirely off. Coverthe pot, shake well, and put on the back of the stcve, where it is not too hot, for fifteen minutes. This evaporates any of the water. Shake the rice into the dish you wish to serve it in. Never use a spoon. Rice should never be glutinous. The Ghoul that ate rice grain by grainin the ‘‘ Arabian Nights” ate properly-cooked rice. .

- To Preserve the Globules. PErHAPS more butter is damaged by too much working than is hurt by too little of this kind of manipulation. The breaking down of the globules destroys the fine buttery flavor, all butter, no matter how excellent in other respects, treated in this way, is like grease rather than like genuine butter. Repeated experiments by experts in the art of butter making are summed up in the following extract from an exchange: When the butter is about ready to gather, cold water enough is put into the churn to reduce its contents to 54 or 55 deg. and the churning is then slowly finished. The water is generally put' in at two or three different times, at intervals of a few minutes. By reducinfg the temperature so low at the close of the churning the butter, instead of adhering in a mass, as iscommon, requiring the buttermilk to be worked out, gathers into granules or pellets of solid butter. At 54 deg. the granules are about as large as grains of wheat, and at 56 de%aboub the size of pease; the lower the temperature the smaller the granules, and the higher it is the larger they will be until they adhere in a mass. '{he utility of gathering butter in a granular form consists in' enabling the operator ! to wash the buttermilk out of the butter without any working. This is done by draining the buttermilk out of the churn and then turning in cold water: and stirring the butter carefully, draw--ing off the water, and repeating the operation until the water is clear. ) 1t is better to have the lasf washing done with strong brine, and to let the. butter lay in the brine from half an hour to’an hour, or longer if it can be kept from 54 to 55 deg. When butter is gathered in this way there is no buttermilk inside of the pellets of butter, and hence it is easy to rinse the buttermilk off without injuring the grain in the least, If it is not convenient to. draw the buttermilk from the churn, the butter may be dipped off with a skimmer or ladle into a tub of water of the right temperature, and the rinsing repeated untif it is clean. Ifit is desired to keep butter for a period either long or short without having it deteriorate, when the washing and soaking in !n'{:;e has been done asdescribed,’ the bl{ iter in its granular form may be put into clean and sweet vessels cont”'.inih%mbrlne' ag strong as it can be made from pure salt, and when it is full of brine’ and butfer, headed or sealed air jfti%?t, and the butter will keep with all the rosy freshness that it

had when it catme from the churn for as lox;ﬁﬁa time’as canned fruit, requiring only similar conditions. If wanted for packing or immediate use, it may be taken as soon as it has been rinsed and treated with brine, and salted in the usual way; or what is better b(;/ laying it on an inclined table to drain, and then stirring the salt in among the granules, and then pressing ittogether. — Western Farm Journal.

Common-Sense Plowing. ~ .THE depth of soil can alone determine the depth of plowing. When the soil is shallow the gradual deepening of it should be sox;%ht by the use of appro;iriate‘ materials for improvement until the object is fully attained. The sub-soil ought not, as a rule, to be ‘brought out of its bed except in small quantities to be exposed to the atmosphere during the fall, winter ard spring, or in a summer fallow; nor even then except when such fertilizers are applied as are necessary to put it at once into a productive condition. Two indifferent soils ‘of opposite character, as a stiff clay and sliding sand, sometimes occupy the relation of surface and sub-soil to each other, and when thoroughly mixed and subjected to cultivation they will produce a soil of grea.tly increased value. oils appropriated to gardens and horticultural purposes are often deepened to fifteen and eyen eighteen inches with berefit, and those for general-till-age crop to about twelve inches with decided advantage. But whatever. is the depth of the soil the plow ought to turn up the entire mass if within its reach, and what is beyond it ‘should be thoroughly broken up by the sub-soil plow. When all circumstances are favorable to the useof the sub-soil plow an increase in theicrop follows, as the hard earth below the reach of the ordinary plow has been loosened. This permits the escape of the water which falls on the surface, the circulation of air and a more extended range for-the roots of the plants, by which they procure additional nourishmentand secure the crop against drought. - The benetits of sub-soil plowing are most apparent in an impervious claysub-soil and least evident in loose and leachy soils. | , On low orstrong land the experienced farmer prefers to see the furrow left on edge exposed to the action of air and harrow. Sandy or dry soil requires flat plowing, which tends to consolidate the land. it

As a rule those crops are the most productive which are plowed the oftenest. Caution must be used, however, especially after the second plowing of corn, when a surface-plow is less liable to injure the roots than an ordinary one. Cotton, while requiring that the ground be stirred repeatedly, calls for care in its cultivation after the bolls begin to form. ; As the turns made in plowing - consumes time it is economy to run the furrows in the longest direction. Actual experiment has proven that the time lost in turning short piots make a large item in the expense account.—N. Y. World. .

Mr. Stﬂqk. A'STRANGER, fat and plump, wasyesterdagr gazing around at the corner of Woodward avenue and Clifford street, when he made a step and went into the gutter six inches deep with water. Five or six men were standing near, and when the stranger swam ashore, heapproached the group and said: ‘¢ Gentlemen, my name’s Stock.” None of thém made any reply, and looking from face to face, he continued: *“Spit it right out—nothing mean about me!’ | ' : - The men were amazed and could not make out what he meant, and one of them said so. ’ - “Why, I’'m Stock and I’ve been watered—see?’’ he replied, as he held u his wet sleeves. ¢ You could have sa.ig that Stock was down, or up, or weak —see?

: Important to Farmers. In these days, when a business man, be he merchant, farmer, or aughtélse, sits down and deliberately counts the cost of running his business or farm, insurance is a very important item in his calculation, and naturally he asks himself, Where will I find a company offering the best inducements, combined with perfect security?

SPEAKS for ITSELF! ‘ . - SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY, " syracuse, N. Y., Nov. 15, 1878. About féur vears since, on* building my house, I analyzed a large number of samples of white Jead, and from these selected the best to be had, with which I painted a large part of the house; the rest I painted with “Rubber Paint,”’ after analyzing it and finding it contained the rubber for which itis named. Oue year sincel found the “purelead and oil” could be easily rubbed off, and was, in fact, being fast washed off by the rains,while that part of the building painted with the Rubber Paint was as hard and glossy as it was three weeks after first applying it. - I have since painted the whole house with the Rubber Paint. I can, therefore, from both ana]gsls and practical test; recommend the Rubber Paint in strong terms. ¢ s J. J. BROWN, o, Prof, of Chemistry and Physics.
