The Sahara desert wax once well watered and fertile, and hunters from the Sshsra plateau, moving gradually down through a rift In northeastern Africa, located where Egypt now lies, according to Dr. J. Henry Rrensted. professor of Egyptology and oriental history. University of Chicago. Doctor Breasted said that this alt hapnened about the tliie of the stone age. Egypt was then one huge lake, but H gradually drained out Into the Mediterranean, leaving the Nile valley. Here the hunters were aft'orded every natural resource and founded a civilization which outstripped Europe. It was about 4000 or 3000 B. C. that Egypt had a stable government controlling millions of souls. The grain of Egypt was 1.000 years older than any found In Asia, says Doctor Breasted, and cattle undoubtedly had their origin in Africa. The Stone age founders of Egypt early developed from hunters to farmers and used the oldest metal Instnwiems made by human agency. They dently discovered the metal there, and a system or writing was evolved In Egypt thousands of years before Christ.

Discouraged by the unequal contest they are waging In the economic world. 434 Newark school teachers out of 1.318 who have returned questionnaires recently sent-out from headquarters of the School and Teacher Campaign, are considering other positions and soon may be lost to the leeching profession. Some interesting and disconcert!"g farts are revealed in the responses received to theee three questions: How much have you been able to save during 1019? Are you forced to do work beside your school duties for financial reasons? Are yon considering another position? While a few were able to purchase Liberty bonds, 775 of the L«l« already herrd from, were unable to aave a penny during 1910. More than one-half, or 890 to be exact, stated they are forced to do oualde work In order to “mtke ends

meet" Approximately one-third, frankly admitted they war* considering other positions. There's food for thought, too, la some of the responeea sent In to campaign headquarters. A teacher In one school, for instance. In answer to the question. “How many dependents have your replied, “Nona, 1 depend on someone else to help me." In reap to the query. “How much were yon able to save In 1010r another teacher In the same school said. *T wen debt $50.' while still another who had earned 9100 by doing outside work appended a note to her questionnaire saying: "1 was under the doctor's care for tlx months, as result of a breakdown, but I hare been obliged to give up tha tieatments this term, although I them badly, because 1 am unable to pay for them." Almost every teacher that saved anything during 10X9 put her savings Into Liberty bonus. In one school the gross earnings were 128,638. The combined savings ol these teachers amounted to 81,096, out of which amount, two teachers who llte at home and pay no board, saved $800.

It would at least be considered a somewhat novel proceeding, yet that Is exactly what la being done In Montreal at the present moment by the Chinese. Members of the Wong family of China, who have left their native >nd to seek their fortunes here, have formed themselves Into the Wong Sun association of Montreal, the object of which Is to assist all Chinese bearing the name of Wong afflicted by sickness, accidents or reverses of fortune. All the Wongs bear some degree of relationship to ocf another. and as the association already has some 800 members and experts more. It is probably one of the largest families on record.

If It la a male. It soon begins to warble. The cage U then covered with white muslin and 1U occupant It fed on cols seed and bread soaked In water. Daring the first week of Isolation I don't allow him to hear the song of any other bird, and during thr second week I play only a few notes of medium pitch every morning before his cage. After this I advise covering the cage with very th|ck green or red serg , thus keeping the bird in darkness until It has learned a few short musical phrases. Bow long does It Uke to train a cantry to sing properly? Well, that all depends on the bird's aptitude. I should say the time varies from two to six months."
