It Is a mistake to take tho history of Egypt nt one plunge. You should dtp In gradually, a thousanu years or so nt ono ttmo; tho Moslem Empire, the Christian martyrs, Moses iti tho bulrushes, tho Grcnt Pyramid, and so on by degrees. But I plunged right Into tho depths of the past without giving my Imagination n chance for ndjustmcnt, nearly eight thousand years in one full swoop. When I begnn to count that up It gave me n sort of sinking feeling as though I had suddenly stepped off the solid world of time nnd spneo backwnrd Into infinity. If I had been on shipboard, I would havo thought of sca-slckncss. But tho place I was looking nt wns the Step Pyramid of "Memphis, perhaps tho oldest historic building In tho world. Yet it doesn't look older than the church nt Jamestown. The plnce to begin the study of Egyptian history is in the Egyptian Museum at Cairo. Many travellers visit tho musoum from a senso of duty. Often they hire n guide, whose efforts to Instruct would bo ludicrous if the effort to he Instruct ed on the part of the travellers wero not so pathetic. They tag along af ter him trying to understand his broken English or else rush from point to point with even greater speed trying to focus one eye on the guide-book nnd the other on tho famous object they have been tod to see. When the catalogue shows a sufficient number of checks, they sigh with relief that tho Museum has been done and whirl away to some now wonder. The Egyptinn Museum Is not to be "done" in any such fashion. In fact this collection of antiquities, tho most wonderful of Its kind, has not been gathered or arranged for such visitors. The catalogue which will consist of thirty quarto volumes will not he convenient to carry around. The Museum is not to be called a "show" place, but as a means of Increasing human knowl edge It Is easily supreme of its kind in all the world. But this great Museum, although costing the Khetlivial government more than a million dollars for Its erection, is only an incidental feat- re or tne great worn wnicn is ue lng carried on by a group of earnest scholars through a department of the Egyptian government. This work is international in its charac ter, having enlisted savants of all nations, Just as the great marine laboratory at' Naples has gathered to gether scientists from all nations. For the prosecution of this work the Egyptian Government has organized a department called the Bureau of Antiquities presided over by M. Mas pero. I had the privilege of meet ing both this famous man and also his distinguished assistant, Brugsch Bey, nnd received valuable direction and Information from them. The purpose for which the Bureau of Antiquities labors is three fold. It aims, first, to recover ns far as possible the treasures of Egypt. With these materials collected and classi fied, it aims next to write tho his tory of Egypt, which has been lost for centuries. Lastly, it would re pair and preserve for all time tho rich treasures of Egyptian history and art. The most delightful feature about this monumental enterprise Is that it Is so unselfish. It has been car ried on from the first with an en thusiasm which is worthy of all Praise begun The work of excavation was by the late M. Marletto In lGfiO. Since Ills death It has been carried on by M. Maspero. Mention should bo made of M. Grebault nnd Brugsch Pnscha, men of untiring en ergy and possessed of quenchless en thusiasm for tho great work. A fine monument, crowned by tho sturdy marble figure of Marletto stands between the entrance of tho Musoum and the great Nile bridge. This great man died before ho hnd seen tho realization of his dream, but not before he had given an im petus to the enterprise which it can never loso. No future explorer will ever bo compelled to bury again in the sand for the sake of their pre servation the marvellous treasurers of Egyptian history and art. To carry on this great work, be side those who are employed In tho Museum Itself, the Bureau of An tiquities has in Ub servlco five chief European engineers or Inspectors, bo M. Masporo told mo, .having under their direction eleven native Inspec tors and 400 nntivo workmen. These have been engaged during tho past year In searching through tho rub bish heaps that havo accumulated throughout tho centuries over tho sites of ancient temples, monuments and cities. Hero from time to tlmo priceless treasures aro found. They also search for tombs where Jowelory and antiques of great value havo beon discovered. Tho work for tho season was about ended, but wo saw a little, showing bow It was done. Forty or moro young men nnd boys wore nt work In Earnak clearing a section of tho wonderful temple. Tho older men grubbed about with primitive plck axos and tho boys swarmed to the foot of tho ombankmcpt filling with their hands woven baskets. Over them stood the ancient task-master, whip in hand. In half a mlnuto thoy wore in line again, carrying the earth on their bends to the top of tho I dump. They wero chatting passages 1 ... . i. t r . i -. , I i rum uiu rvui.m, unu uny answering the other In monotonous repetition of tho same words. An entirely different stnff has : chargo of tho work of restoration. I I,,roul 500 to 1'?00,mon aro employed part of tho work may bo seen when It Is remembered that only a fow years ago In tho magnificent tamplo of Knrnnk, ten grcnt columns, each over 75 feet high, being weakened by tho flood waters of tho Nllo, top pled over like ninepins. Thcso havo all been rebuilt and aro now In plnco again. Tho Bureau also protects these ruins. In tho tcmplo of Ramcscs II at Thebes nnd elsewhere you mny see how the carvings havo been defaced by fanntlcs, ancient Christians or Moslems ns well as by moro modern relic hunters. Priceless treasures of gold and gems havo been stolon. Ruthless hands havo been lnld on the bodies of tho dead, or upon that which was hold most sacred, in the hope of getting gain. Tablets havo been destroyed which might havo yielded secrets as mysterious ns that of the Sphynx. Under the policy now inaugurated such barbarity Is im possible. In a way this is a matter of sentiment, but it is sound busi ness sense as well, for the tourists bring into Egypt in n single season no less than ?5, 000, 000. .The gov ernment can well afford to spend money on the Bureau of Antiquities. It Is impossible to enumerate, let alone to describe, the relics of the past contained under the roof of this marvellous Museum. If one looks upon the very faces In the mummy chambers of those mighty sovereigns, Mnmeses, Seti, and their successors, whose bony hands once swayed the destinies of tho Israelites and other captive nations, or stands before the arrow-headed letters on the stone tablets or clay epistles referring to the kings of ancient Judnh, If he sits in awe under the shadow of the colossal statuary, or hangs in rnpture over tho cases of Queen Thy's jewellery, he may gain some faint idea of the glories of that wondrous past that could be felt In no other spot on earth.

Opponents of Proposed Law Lacked Ono Vote Could Not Pass Sub stituteIssue Hard Fought. Albany, X. Y.. May II). Tho Hln-man-Green direct nominations .bill, fa vored by Governor Hughes, which would abolish tho party convention, wns defeated on tlnal passage In the senate by a vote of llll yens to 25 nays. Tho wiine bill was defeated In tho assembly over n week ngo by n voto of 07 yens to 77 nays. It requires 2(5 votes to pass a bill In tho senate nnd 7(1 votes to pass n bill In tho assembly. This voto In each house ngnlnst the HIuman-Grecu bill makes It certain that Governor Hughes will not call an extra session of the legislature to consider primary reform legislation. After the Illumun-Grecn bill had been disposed of tho Grady-Frlsblo bill, representing tho views of tho Democratic league, was placed upon Its final passage nnd defeated by a vote of 30 to 11, a party vote except that Senators Cullen and Harden, Democrats, voted with Uio Republicans against the bill, whllo Senator Gard ner, Democrat, did not vote upon tho bill at nil, as he had voted for the lIIniniiu-Green bill. Thu Mende-Phllllps bill, retaining the party conventions, which passed thu assembly last week, although It wns considered during thu day's debate upon tho primary reform questlou, did not reach a voto In tho senate because there were not enough voteH to pass it. Tho same can be snid of the Cobb bill. Twenty-one Republicans and two Democrats voted for the bill and thir teen Republicans and twelve Demo crats agnlust it. I. ii II E I GRANGE I ooi most irs from ONE SPKAYIXOi. A business man, who wns unable to i nrrango for more than ono spraying 1 of his trees for tho codling moth, on account of scarcity of help, wrote to Professor Surface, Stato Zoologist, to know whether ono application of the Bordcaux-Arsennto spray would bo sufllclcnt, and whether tho Profos- sor would recommend any change In j tho formula. j The reply of Professor Surface was to tho following effect: I "Since you can only spray once for tho codling moth, I can assure thnt you can obtain excellent results by so doing. I would advise a very thor ough spraying with considerable power, or nt least seventy pounds pressure to tho inch, blowing the spray material well Into the ealyxi or blossom ends of apples, pears and quinces. At the same tlmo you should uso at least two pounds of arsenate of lead in eacli fifty gallons of water or Bordeaux mixture, and three pounds of this poison will do no Injury. Since you aro spraying only once, It mny possibly be bettor to use it stronger. "It is true that I have advised n red'uetion in the bluestone, from three to one and one-half pounds, for the lirst spraying of the apple only. This is to prevent russetiug or browning of the fruit by contact with the strong or full strength Bordeaux mixture. Such russetiug does not always occur, but it is liable to hap pen during wet weather. It will not result from the reduced formula. "One of the chief pests for which you are to spray at this time of year is, of course, Codling moth. This la killed by the arsenate of lead and not by tho bluestone. If you cannot get arsenate of lead readily, one third pound of Paris green to eacli fifty gallons of the liquid will take the place of two or three pounds of lead arsenate. The bluestone Is used to prevent plant diseases, and if you are particularly anxious to get its highest value as a fungicide, and will stand the slight risk of its rus setlng one side of the fruit, you can, of courso, use the full-strength Bor deaux mixture, which means the three pounds of blue-stone, with four or five pounds of fresh lime, instead of the half-strength, which Is made by using only one and one-half pounds of bluestone. You may be assured that if you will spray thor oughly with high pressure, a fine nozzle and a strong insecticide, one application for the Codling moih will be highly efficient, and will repay your efforts In giving you fruit com parativey free from worm injury." v 0 HELLEBORE TO KILL CURRANT WORMS. Writing from Middletown, Pa., a grower of currants asked State Zoo logist Surface whether he can apply hellebore in tho form of a spray, to rid his bushes of the worms that have started In on their work of de struction. As to the use of hellebore for this purpose, Prof. Surface replied that he had "found it ellicient to mix Hellebore and Hour for the currant worm, nnd apply It by dusting it on the leaves. Uso one part of Helle bore witli five or six parts of flour, stirred together; when left to stand over night or a few days, in a closed vessel, like a tin baking powder can, will Impart its efficiency to the flour or the entire mixture, and can be used successfully by dusting over the leaves or bushes. This avoids the, trouble and expense of spraying nnd I Is certnlnly efficient. I "However, If you should wish to i npply n spray rather than a dust for ! tho currant worms, there is nothing better than Hellebore for this par ticular pest, prepared as a liquid, to , be applied in tho form of a snray. I by steeping one ounce of Hellebore In each gallon of water, making a de coction. Sometimes Hellebore Is not so strong, nnd more may bo needed to make this decoction strong enough to kill tho pests. However, as they will bo off tho leaves within less than one-half day from tho tlmo tho ma terial is applied, If It is going to be efficient nt all, it is very easy to make the application nnd examine the bushes a fow hours afterward to see if the worms aro still present on tho leaves or not. If so, then make tho material a llttlo stronger, apply again, and you will be able to get rid of them." v 0 LIME IX BORDEAUX. Stato Zoologist Surface was queried by a Susquehanna county mnu as to using air-slaked llmo In Bordeaux Mixture, who also Inquired as to the self-boiled llmo-sulfur and how It is prepared; also whether moro than four pounds of lime can bo used in making 50 gallons of Bordeaux Mix ture Professor Surfaco replied: "Air-slaked llmo cannot bo used for tho Bordeaux Mixture, especially If It has been long air-slaked. Got fresh lime and Blako It and keep un der water. When you want to use it, tnke three times as much of the lime paste as you would of dry quick lime. You can uso hydratod lime all right for making Bordeaux, "By solf-bolled Hme-sulfur wash wo mean a preparation that 1b boil ed only by tho heat from the slaking of the llmo. It is beat to put eight pounds of quick llmo and eight pounds of sulfur togethor In n barrel with about enough water to cover It. I do not recommend It in plnco of the Bordeaux, as It has not yet been proven thnt It will be any bettor, nor oven ns good. Another summer's experiments will give us the answer In this direction. The only objection to using more llmo would be, that It stains the follngo 6r plants thnt aro to be kept for ornamental purposes, as, for ex ample, shrubbery In tho doorynrd, and It nlso stains fruits If put on near their tlmo of ripening " f 1 1 1 1 FEMININE DELIGHTS abound in our latest ar rival of exquisite lin gerie and household necessities.
