The recent work, he said, of the Ilritifch School of Archaeology in Egypt had bern continued at Memphis Mem-phis and also extended to Thebes. The great result of the year's work at Memphis , had bii the-discovery of the palace of King Apries the Pharaoh Hojibra of the bible, who was contemporary with Jeremiah. Hitherto no palace had been known In Egypt beyond the tomer at Medlnet Habile and umc portions of rather earlier date.

The scale of the palace was Itnpmshe, The middle court was well over 100 fret square and the atone columns In it were more than forty feet high. The stone-lined halls sblrb remained were over forty feet long and half as wide. The brtrk halls ere nearly 'as larg and the walls were about fifteen f"H thick. A still larger court extended on the north Ue. The approach to the palace led up tbrouKB a grvat mass of bul!digs to a platform at a height of about sixty feet above the plain.

"We have made no thorough enumeration enu-meration of the herd for several years because to do so effectively-requires that all the females should be driven off the rookeries and this would force many of the ainmals outside the three-mile three-mile limit where they would be ruthlessly ruth-lessly taken by the pelagic sealers."

LOGCWQ CAMf ITHIN the past few , years there has been a - notablelncreaaie of public interest in the " culture of ornamental trees and shrubs. Attempts At-tempts to cultivate new' varieties or old varieties in new conditions and situations, and frequently by persons unfamiliar with the. specific requirements require-ments of trees and shrubs, have too often resulted only ini the production of ehort-llved and diseased specimens. 4 Furthermore, several pfirastic diseases oranfferToTirTrature havr recently-appeared; and it is therefore not surprising sur-prising that many Inquiries, are received re-ceived by the bureau of plant Industry Indus-try regarding, ornamental trees that are supposedly diseased. , What all correspondents desire to know is: Vhat is the matter with the tree or shrub In question and bow can It be cured?"Often rio satisfactory answers an-swers can be given. Tre.es- are particularly par-ticularly subject to troubles which are wholly due to abnormal conditions in their . Immediate surroundings and which call for actual inspection of tree and surroundings in. order to diagnose the case. Or there often is no cure in the nature of the case; for example, there is no cure for old age. The most widespread cause of dis ease of trees and shrubs Is the at tempt to grow them in a climate and situation for which the given species are not adapted. For example, such evergreens as the English yew, Scotch pine, and Irish Juniper have, for sentimental senti-mental reasons and . in accordance with horticultural tradition, been planted extenalvely In the - eastern states. Unless In favorable situations and having exceptional care they are short lived, ragged, and susceptible to many diseases. There ia essentially no need for the cultivation of such imported varieties, as In general the same effects may be obtained with native varieties or with varieties Imported Im-ported from regions of similar cllmat. If such trees are planted (and to those named may be added at least the Austrian .pine, the silver fir. and the Norway spruce). It should be with the understanding that they must re ceive extra care. In controlling diseases of ornamentals, orna-mentals, the expense of the method employed la within reason, no object compared with effectiveness. A fine shade tree may, on account of Its situation situ-ation and associations, be worth many hundreds of dollars to Its . own er. If such a tree is diseased it is oo vloua that -almost any meaiurea may be resorted to, no matter how costly or time consuming. If they offer hope of cure. On the other hand. It should Iba remembered that at the present time the moving of large treea la. in expert handa. a perfectly practicable procedure, and no owner who Is will Ing to Incur reasonable expense needs to wait for a tree to grow In order to replace an old on or to ihade a newly-built house.

One and a' half 'pounds of bacon. one and a half pounds of steak, half a podnd of bread crumbs, two. eggs, salt, pepper, paprika and one teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce. Have the bread crumbs-finely made and pass them through a wire sieve. Chop the bacon and steak and mix them with the bread crujnbs and seasonings. sea-sonings. This Is best done with the hands. Beat up the eggs well and mix them with the dry Ingredients, adding the Worcestershire sauce. Have a pudding cloth wrung out of hot water and sprinkle It with flour. When the roll Is tightly squeezed into shape, tie It up la the pudding cloth like a roly poly. Plunge Into a sauce pan full of boiling water and boll for two and a half boura. Let It cool In the water, take off the cloth, place It on a platter with a heavy weight on the top to press firmly together. This can be cut Into thin slices. Chicken or veal croquettes wrapped separately in. paraffin paper will be found a good addition to the menu. i . -Hot Tamelee. The Mexican recipe for making hot tamalea is to cook one of two chickens chick-ens until tender. Remove all meat from the bone, shred it In the chopping chop-ping machine and add to It the liquor In which the chicken has been rooked. This Is seasoned with any desired condiments, especially red pepper, and thickened with cornmeal. The rolla are about the size of link sausage and they are wrapped In the Inner husks of green corn. Tie the busks with fclrlnjr if" each" eiid 15' secure ItiPtn and boil them for three hours. It. Is best to taste the preparation before adding meal to note "whether It la ri h or needs mdre seasoning, allowing allow-ing for tie meal to be added, which will take up the sharp flavor. Overcooked Food. Much good, wholesome food la prac tically wasted by being overcooked. Overcooking Is the principal objection to canned meats, because food that la otherwise excellent In quality baa been spoiled In the proeea of cooking, and has. therefore, become practical ly unfit for use. Meat must be rooked to a certain point but one that point la reached further cooking la downright down-right waste of material, both as regards re-gards quality and quantity. Good food Is often spoiled by too rapid rooking. Meat hlrb la allowed to boil after the preliminary fl minute become bard, tough and tasteless, and Is almost Indigestible, owing to the hardening of the albumen ail through the meat A Hint; small.
