WORLD OWES DEBT TO WOMAN
Fostering of Agriculture Has Bean
From the Beginning of T!rre in
Female Hands.
Agriculture today depends chiefly
npon the work of the primeval woman. 1
We are Indebted to the nomad’s wife
for the greatest of all economic serv
ices. She tamed the young of the
more tamable animals, gave them to
her savage husband, and made of him
the more civil herdsman who for
ages followed his flocks after the man
ner of Jacob and Lot and Job. This
fertile wife of the nomad became *he
wife of farmers, and she made a farmer
of her son by placing In his hand the
precious seed of the grains, the pres
ent basis of agriculture, the bread of
man, and the concentrated food of all
our domestic animals.
Where did this ancient mother get
these precious seeds’ In many cases
we do not know, and cannot even
guess. She found some plant, with
one or two rich seeds, planted them,
and then generation after generation
her descendants picked over their lit
tle grain patches, selecting seeds to
be preciously preserved from the har
vest. festival to the next spring
planting festival, which we now call
Easter. 3y this process running on
through unknown generations of men.
the plants became so changed by th*
artificial application of Darwin's law
of selection that now no botanist dares
suggest what plant or plants were the
wild forebears of some of the present
grains from which the world today ob
tains its bread.
We are indebted to this cave or
tent dwelling woman. 3ut 3hall we
accept her work as final’ Can science
do no batter than follow along the
path she laid out? The fact that ag
ricultural science Is today doing lit
tle more than this to one of the pa
thetic Illustrations of the smallness of
our view.—Prof. J. Russell Smith, in
Harper's Magazine.
IN HOUSES OF CORNSTALK
Primitive Dwelling Place* That Are
Occupied by the Poorest Class of
Egyptian Peasants.
On the outskirts of Alexandria we
passed numerous groups of Bedouins,
camping by the side of the Mahmou
dieh canal. Out in the fields men and
women, dressed alike In the loose cot
ton gown of the country, were busily
nt work. The fields were dotted with
curious doorless structures made of
cornstalks. They are used as tempo
rary homes at certain seasons of the
year, as, for Instance, when the crops
are being gathered.
Later on I entered one, and found
It to be not more than flve feet
square; one could not stand upright
Inside. The place contained nothing
but a few jars and cooking utensils.
In the winter the occupants wrap
themselves up la their clothes at
night, covering the heads also, bat
leaving the feet bare. The hut I saw
was occupied by a man and his son.
These people, of course, are the fel
laheen—the peasants—the pure Egyp
tian of the poorest class.—Christian
Hereald.
13^XX> Miles of Silver.
The greatest money count in the his
tory of the United States is now on.
Every piece of money in the country’s
hill ton-bulging treasury must be han
dled and each security fingered. A
eorps of men—the most expert money
eounters in the world—will Work at
the task day and night, but It will
take them elxty days to finish It.
There are 158,708,980 silver dollars
alone In this vast sum. Mach of the
ooin counting Is done by weighing, bat
there Is an Ingenious machine which
digests silver dollars, quarters and
halves and counts them as fast as a
wish ean turn the handle. If the sil
ver dollars were stacked one on top
of another, they would tower 835
miles high. If they could be laid In
a continuous line, each touching the
other, the silver horde would stretch
out for a distance of 13,000 miles.—
Robert D. Helni in Leslie's.
Egyptian Justice.
In ancient Egypt all court business
Was carried on In writing, in order
that the decision might not be in
fluenced by oratory or personal ap
peal. The laws lay before the Judges
upon a table, and the accuser declared
In writing how he had been Injured,
whereupon the defendant stated In
writing what he had to say. Then
came a rejoinder from each party to
the case, after which the judges de
liberated among themselves until they
had hit upon the proper legal penalty
fbr the party who had in the mean
time been adjudged guilty. This point
being reached the president of the
Judges touched with an Image of
Thmei, the "Goddess of Truth,” the
manuscript of the guilty pleader and
the case was over.

The President.
The president of the United Jt&tes
has nothing whatever to do with the
making of the laws of the Individual
pfflfpa or of the United States. He Is
purely and simply the national execu
tive, his business being to carry out
the laws that are made by the con
gress. In order to be able to make
lawB the president would need to be
an absolute monarch, like the czar of
Russia or the Sultan of Turkey. As
It is, he is simply the bead servant of
the people, with his duties clearly laid
down In the constitution, and from
which he cannot deviate. Instead of
making the laws the laws are made
by the legislative servants of the peo
da far him to execute
