An Egyptian Mummy.

There is a mummy of an Egyptian princess in one of the buildings on the Centennial grounds. Some years ago it was presented by the khedive to the Prince of Wales, who left it in the care of an American gentleman at Luxor. It was obtained from the latter by Dr. J. l.. M. Curry, of Richmond, Ya., on his recent trip up the Nile. The case is worm gnawed and half decayed, in spite of the well preserved preparation on the surface, which is covered with hlero- glyphics said to signify prayers that the soul of the princess, having triumphed Over evil spirits, may be admitted to life without death, and enjoy eternal happl- ness. Other characters tell that the em- balmed remains are those of an Egyp- tian lady of the highest rank and of ths time of the Pharaohs. The skeleton has been removed from the original case and put in one of glass. Only the face and hands are bare; no bones are visible ex- cept the top of the cranium, a portion of those of the hands and the brown, jagged, half disintegrated teeth, which protrude from the open mouth. The body is covered with black skin, shrlv- eled close to the bone, and looks like 8 skeleton that had been dipped in melted pitch and left out to dry. The trunk and limbs still retain most of their origi- nal swathing of coarse linen, but it is tattered, half rotten, of dirty yellow, with the rags adhering to one another, and suggests g. bagged ham with the first layer of the covering torn off, Though the mummy is far from healthy looking, one believes with difficulty that it may have eaten of corn out of the very granary from which Joseph filled the sacks of his treacherous brothers.

The Discovery of Greenland.

Though Iceland was thus settled by the Vikings, and although these sea TO- vers still followed their wave wandering life, we must believe that they were no longer the "pyrates of the mainland. One of these sailors was Gunnbiorn, who, driven westward by storm, soon after the settlement of Iceland, fell upon the shores of Greenland, to which region he gave the name of Gunnbiorn's rocks. He made his way home again, for the strait between Greenland and Iceland is not so wide but one may see the shores of each, when midway between tbem, of clear day. He gave, like all dis coverers, very glowing account of his new land, but none went thither until the next century.
 In 985, Eric the Red, who, like h. golf, had been obliged to quit his own country on account of his violence and crimes, went to the new land in the west. He established home for him. self, and three years later, he was back in Iceland with a wonderful tale. In the quaint language of the chronicle "In order to entice people to go to his new country, he called it Greenland, and painted it as such an excellent place for pasture, wood and fish, that the next year he was followed thither by twenty five ships full of colonists, who had fur nished themselves richly with household goods and cattle of all sorts but only fourteen of these ships arrived" The other eleven, we are left to surmise, were wrecked on the way.-St. Nicholas for .7ltLu,

Celebrating the Fourth.

The centennial Independence day was not observed in New York city after the manner of an ordinary fourth of July, with only commonplace addresses, great noise of guns and cannon, and grand blaze of fireworks, although these things were not lacking. But the "centennial celebration committed" devised unique method of celebrating the nations one hundredth birthday. Without entering into details, we may mention that Q patriotic demonstration commenced on the night of July at ten o'clock, the re- quest being made that every building in the city be illuminated from ten o'clock P. M. of July until half-past one of the morning of July 4, and also suitably decorated during these hours, as we'll as on the day and evening of the fourth. A great procession arrived about mid night at Union square, sslutes were fred, bells rung, fireworks displayed and a selection of patriotic music rem dered. On the morning of the fourth 8 great meeting was held in the Academy of Music, with an oration, singing and instrumental music appropriate to the occasion. The celebration committee also recommended citizens generally to assemble at some convenient hour in churches or other suitable places, and to add to the other exercises of the day thanksgiving for the blessings bestowe upon this nation.

A Parisian Trick.

The latest Parisian swindle is clever. A well dressed woman called on prom inent mental physician and implored his aid in curing her son, who was laboring under the delusion that some one owed him 30,000 francs for diamonds which he had sold. "Bring him here in an hour, and I will see him alone," said the doctor. The woman went at once to one of the best jewellers and choosing 30, 900 francs worth of diamonds, asked the proprietor to send his assistant with them to Dr. Us, who was her husband and would pay for them. The name was well known, and the clerk was sent to the doctors with her. In the ante room she said: "I will see if my hus- band is at home." She then told the doctor that her son was without, and the doctor said: "Send him in here." So she sent the clerk, telling him to leave the diamonds with her: Arrivs q in the doctors room, the clerk was politely seated and courteously asked after his general health and habits. After reply ing to these questions for some time. the young man hinted that he was rath- CT pressed for time, and would be glad if the doctor would kindly pay him for the diamonds. "Ah, true," said the doctor, "the 30,OO0 francs. We'll, bye and-bye." Then ensued funny scene, which finally ended in both parties go- ing in search of the "mother," and find ing that she had got tired of waiting and had gone, forgetting to leave the dia- monds.

Ingratitude.

While much that is good can be con- fidently expected in Detroit boys, there are, alas few who have no memory for deeds of kindness. Such @ one was seated in the shade of the post-ofice the other day, devouring banana, when a boy acquaintance came along and wanted taste.
 "Hain't huff for only me-" was the reply.
 "Come, now, Jack, gin a feller a small bite. You know I've allus bin good to you."
 "You never done nuthin' for me zi knows on, replied the eater. " I hain't, eh Hain't I saved ye from ickings Hain't I lied for ye ?" :'That was yer dooty," mumbled the : boy with the banana. "See here, Jack," continued the other, rising to his feet, "d'ye member the time when you was small and sick, and had a sore heel; was going by the house one day, an you looked so sad and poor that let you vet me all over with the penstock hose to cheer you up. Was that my dooty9 Is there any other boy in Detroit who would do that fur ye 2"
 S. It was powerful appeal, but just as . it was finished the last. of the banana was crowded into the ungrateful@boy' E throat.

True Love Out of Fashion.

The country never possessed 80 many beautiful marriageable young womeh as it does at the present time. And why do we not have more marriages2 We answer, says the Albany Argus, because not the rule. The young people of this age have gone fashion and money mad. If the dandy bank clerk who pays one half of his income for board and the other half for clothes cannot improve his condition he will not marry. The shop girl who earns good wages and cannot be distinguished by her dress from the bankers daughter certainly will not plunge into matrin-ony unless she can better her condition in life. If 8 man is fortunate enough to possess money, it matters not how old or ugly he may be, hundreds of intelligent, handsome young women can be found only too willing to become his wife. Love is an after consideration. They marry to be supported and dressed ex- travagantly. How often do we hear the remark "Better to be an old mans darling than poor mans slave" Alas too many of them are not satisfied to be darlings. They will persist in loving other men after they are married. Ii cannot be denied that great number oi unmarried men are adventurers looking for wives who can Keep them without working for living. The peace and contentment of a happy home are not taken into consideration. They are willing to suffer hell upon earth if they can be kept in idleness. If our young people do not abandon this extravaganza of dress and greed for money our coun try will be filled with Nld bachelors and old maids. We must have more genuine courtships and marriages to have pros perity and happiness in this world. Toc many marry for money, only to be disap pointed and unhappy the rest of theil Evos

Flies.

A correspondent of the London Gar- dene' writes For three years have lived in town, and during that time my sitting-room has been free from flies, three or four only walking about my breakfast table, while all my neighbors were crowded. I often congratulated myself on my escape, but knew not the reason of it until few days ago. then had occasion to move my goods to another house, while remained on for two days longer. Among other things moved were two boxes of geraniums and calceolaries, which stood in my window-being always open to full ex- tent, top and bottom. The boxes were not gone half an hour before my room was as full of flies as those around me, This, to me, is a new discovery, and perhaps may serve to encourage others in that which is always source of pleasure, and which now proves also tc be g source of comfort, viz. window gardening,

As a Financier.

Abraham-Bey, the wealthy Armenian banker, agent of the khedive of Egypt, and in high favor with the sultan, was summoned to the palace to tell Abdul Aziz the news of the day. The general in-chief of the cavalry, who conducted him to the imperial dwelling, begged him, in case the sultan should demand to know the actual total of the debt, not to. acknowledge that governments had gone down to twelve, but to say that they were ranging between thirty and thirty-fve, so that his report and the representations of the ministry might agree. The sultan did ask how the bonds stood, and Abraham Bey replied, with out hesitation Between thirty and thirty five.'' At this news the sultan expressed unfeigned pleasure. He put into Abraham's hands great box full of the said bonds, and bade him sell them forthwith at the market rate-" between thirty and thirty five" The banker was thunderstruck. But he went out and sold the bonds at twelve, and paid the sultan out of his own pocket the differ ence between that and thirty.

Liver and Blood Diseases.
By R. '. Pierce, M. D., author of "The Pc
 pies Common Sense Medical Adviser"

By R. '. Pierce M. D., author of The Peo-
 pies Common Sense Medical Adviser"
 A healthy liver secretes each day about two and one-half pounds of bile which contains great amount of waste material taken from the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or congested it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious substance, which, therefore, re- mains to poison the blood, and be conveyed to every part of the system. What must be the condition of the blood when it is receiving and retaining each day two and one-half pounds of poison2 Nature tries to work off this poison through other channels and organs-the kid neys, lungs, skin, etc., but these organs be- come overtaxed in performing this labor in ad- dition to their natural functions, and cannot long withstand the pressure, but become vari- ously diseased.
 The brain, which is the great electrical cen- ter of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy blood which passes to it from the heart, and it fails to perform it's office healthily. Hence the sythptoms of bile poison ing, which are dullness, headache, incapacity to keep the mind on any subject, impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy or nervous feelings, gloomy forebodings, and irritability of temper. The blood being itself diseased, as 1t forms the sweat upon the surface of the skin, 1t is so irritating and poisonous that 1t produces dis, colored brown spots, pimples, blotches and other eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles and scrofulous tumors The stomach, bowels and other organs cannot escape becoming aneceed, sooner or later, ano we nave, aS Eesulty ooS- tiveness, piles. dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhea. Other symptoms are common, as bitter or bad taste in mouth, internal heat, palpitation, teasing cough, unsteady appetite, choking sensation in throat, bloating of stomach, pain in sides or about shoulders or back, coldness of extremities, etc., etc, Only few of the above symptoms are likely to be present. in any case at one time. The liver being the great depurating or blood cleansing org an of the system, set this great housskeeper of our health at work, and the foul corruptions which gender in the blood, and TO. out, as it were, the machinery of life, are gradually ex- pelled from the system. For this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, with very small doses daily of Dr. Pieree's Pleasant Purgative Pellets are pre- -eminently the articles needed. They cure every kind of humor from the worst scrofula to the common pimple, blotch or eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly heal under their mighty curative influence. Viru1ent blood poisons that Turk in the system are by them robbed of their terrors, and by their persevering and somewhat protracted use the most tainted systems may be com. pletely renovated and built up anew. Enlarged glands, tumors and swellings dwindle away and disappear under the influence of these great resolvents.
