This grassing costs on an average about four dollars an acre, and after that is over the rice planter has but little to do ex eept to give it plenty of water. One pe culiar thing about irrigation ia that the heads of the rice plants never fill out. o matter hour much water you give them artificially, uules there are plenti ful rains.

A moneyed man, who was looking at the process of laying an artificial stone pavement in front of ono of his many properties, startled tbe friends who were standing about him by remarking, "I believ that the Egyptian pyramid were built in just that way." Pressed for an explanation, b said that while be bad never been in Eypt be had read the works of all Egyptologists, inclndiug Brugsch and Piaxzi Smyth, and had never found in any of thein a theory which would satisfactorily account for the manner in which tint pyramids were constructed. "Now," he said, "yon mnst remember that the tivramids are built of slone which bears no resemblance to anytiiin; found within 600 miles of their location. It is incredible that the Egyptians of four or five thousand years ago should have possessed the mechanical ingeiinily to move these enormous blocks of stone from the granite quarries i.f Abyg-inia or Syria to tne py ratals. Iit not much more natural to suppose that the ancient Egyptians possessed the secret of mak ing artificial stono, asd thai tiio pyrs- sds XT'cn cctsstrscted by bjye? n.v .n layer of Nile river mud, hardened by just such proceme a w employ to taake artificial atone? "It is a much more plausible explana tion of their construction than the la borious and unintelligent suppositious that the stones wer carried serofs ths deert to form the foundation and ban) ot the pyramid. I Crmly believe that the Egyptians of the ante-Christian era understood tho manufacture of artificial stone, and that tla-y built tiie pyramids cut of it." riulaiUIphia Pre. THE OLD RELIABLE, II. i.
