officials will thus be made more strikingly hp

The Land of Punt.

Among the numerous sources from
which their boundless wealth flowed into
the treasures of the Pharaohs was the
mysterious land of Punt-the abode, ac-
cording to an old tradition, of the gods
who migrated thence, with Anon, Horus
and Hathor at their head, into the Nile
Valley. BY the name of Punt, the old
inhabitants of Kemi meant distant
land washed by the great ocean, full of
valleys and hills, rich in ebony and other
rare woods, in incense, balsams, precious
metals and costly stones; also in beasts,
such as girafcs hunting leopards, pan
thers, dog-headed apes and ng-tailed
monkeys. Birds with strange plumagc
rocked themselves on the branches of
wonderful trees, such as the incense tree
and the cocoa palm. This land OF wealth,
which may well have been the same as
the Ophir of the Hebrews, is considered
by Brugsch Bey to have been beyond
doubt the Somauli land facing the coast
of Arabia. Peculiar to that land was the
idol Bes, the oldest local form of the god
head, which wandered far from thence,
and gained footlng not only IN Egvpt
but in Arabia and divers parts of Asia,
as far even as the isles Of the Greeks
The misshapen Bes, with apish eounte.
nance and bestial attributes, be
came identified with Set, and il
the Greek mythology with Hera
kles, as also with Dionysius. Numer
GUS representations of this god are giver
by Sir Gardiner Wilkinson, who think
that by Bes is typifed the power of death
as the dissolution of the animal part O
man. He seems to us rather to embody
the ideas Of animal or corporeal vigo
and enjoyment. 1t was under kim
Sankh-ka-ra, of the eleventh dynasty
that the first expedition took place t.
Punt for odoriferous gums, "the nobl
Haman being the commander" as he ha
himself left on record in the inscription
translated by M. Chabas.

Gibraltar. Arrangements are also being
made for the application of sun-telegra-
phing between the scattered West India
islands that are not connected by cabel.
The instrument which seems to meet
the highest requirements is known as the
Nance heliograph. 1t consists of a care
fully prepared mirror, connected with
mechanism, by means of which the suns
rays can be projected with accuracy in
almost any direction. By means of key
board the flashes are shortened or
prolonged so as to constitute a
species of alphabet similar to that
in use in the Morse system of electric
telegraphy. AS may not be generally
known, the system of communication by
ocean cable is not by sound at all, but by
minute flashes of electric light upon a
minute mirror and translated by the ex'
pert operator. The Nance instrument
for field operating is small, not weighing
over eight or ten pounds, and its mechan
ism easily understood and managed. Fol
general purposes of course it can nevel
take the place of the electric wire, a
everything depends upon the condition
of the atmosphere ard the position of thu
sun, but it will prove of great utility il
military operations and in communica
ting between points where no line exist
or would pay for construction. 1t il
merely very portable, cheap and con
venient method of harnessing sunbeam
to the chariot of modern progress.

Lobsters as Piaythings.

Not long ago, in Sweden, two girls used
to watch for an old boatman who, in the
season, would bring, up the ford or creek,
whole boatload of HOLSTERS at time.
Generally, leave would be given, and the
sisters would fetch indoors with great
glee as many of the Holsters as they
wanted, and stand up all around their
play-room, stfoking each on the head as
they did so, and thus putting it to sleep.
They had to keep sharp eye on the
creatures, though, and, as soon as one
threatened to wake, or wave its terrible
claws, they had to run and tickle it on
the head, when it would go off to sleep
at once.
Lizzie says it was funny to see these
play-soldiers- -"marines," she called
them-standing up stiff and straight, as
though they were on their best behavior
at parade drill.
Before you try this game, be sure you
have the right kind of Holsters to dea
with, for it would be awkward if they
should turn on you and give you tit fol
tat by "stroking" and "tickling" you In
their fashion with their claws.

SPIRIT OF THE GERMAN PAPERS


Senator Conkling says that without the
aid of a standing army an honest election
can not be had in the State OF New York.
Were this true we would have no faith in
the Republic. But it is not true, even
should Senator Conkling say so hundred
times.
Senator Pendleton has been but short
time in office, but he has already taken a

State OF Ohio is well represented in the

While the Republican press of this coun-

Ocean, a strictly Republican sheet that ap-
pears in the same city.

HARVESTING sUNBEAMs.

There has recently been new devel-
opment of one of the oldest and simplest
systems of telegraphing that was ever
invented, and that is by the use of mir
rors to reflect the suns rays. Amongst
the ancients the use of polished surfaces
to convey signals between distant points
is a matter of history. The Persians as
well as the Gauls resorted to this method
of communicating between the scattered
detachments of troops during military
movements in the enemy's country. The
British have used it very successfully in
the Afghan campaign, and it is thought
that had the African troops been pro.
vided with proper instruments the disas,
ter at Isandula might have been arrested
During the latest movements, which
have resulted so successfully for the
British expedition for the relief Of
Ekowe, the heliograph was of great use,
The besieged commander, although sur
rounded on all sides by the enemy, was
able to notify the relieving column that
be could make sortie with five hundred
men in case the Zulus made an attack
upon the advancing troops. The hello
graph is in general use in France, Bel
GUM and Spain, and late military
events will lead to its gen
eraI adoption by ether countries

Kissed Against Her viii.

Miss Jennie S. Taylor, an attractive
girl Of eighteen, cluug to the nickle
plated railing in front Of the clerks desk
in Justice Walsh's court in Brooklyn yes
terdaY while she blushingly asked for q
warrant for the arrest Of a man who had
kissed her against her will.
About two o'clock on Monday afternoon
she went to the photograph gallery Of j.
W. Crawford, at Fulton and johnson
streets, to get a proof Of a picture which
she had sat for the day before, unaccom-
panied, and found Mr. Crawford there
alone. He received her courteously, and
gave her the proof for inspection. She
discussed it with him and at length
agreed to accept il. She says that he
then stepped from behind the counter,
and, drawing close to her. threw his arms
about her and kissed her. She was
frightened but before she could utter her
disapproYal Of his conduct he said !: tIm
lonely he-e, and I want a nice little girl
like you to stay and keep me company
Miss Taylor alleges that he again
caught her il his arms, aud that she
struggled and screamed for help be told
her not TO make any noise, as it would
alarm the other persons in the building.
sThat's what mean to do" said Miss
TAYLOR, IF you don't release me- Craw-
ford, she added, followed her to the door,
and asked for just one more kiss, which
he tried to take, but she kept out Of his
grasp, and ran out Of the studio into the
Street. She ran home and told her pa
rents what had happened, and they de
to effect Grawtord's s arrest.
Mr.. Crawford said emphatically, after
hearing the girls complaint, that be did
not attempt the slightest inpropriety
with bis customer, and that he didn't
know why she should accuse him Of do

The meanest deed probably ever per-

Sunday night at the house Of Mrs. Asa
Willard, Of Dwight street. Unknown
parties entered her appointments and
mutilated her personal property with a

Three oil paintings, said TO have cost
over $3.50 each, were mutilated beyond
repair; an oil portrait Of Mrs. Wizards
dead child was cut so that one eye and
half the hair only was left, and the cut
tfngs were burned in the stove. The sofa
covering was then cut it's whole length
The wretches next pulled Mrs. Wsl
lard's $175 sealskin cloak from a drawer,
making in it no less than nineteen slash
es, besides cutting in two her sealskln
muff and after hacking into ruin a nicely
trimmed Woolen cloak belonging to a
Mrs. Barnes, visitor, they took from an
upstairs closet Mrs. Willlard's $l00 silk
dress, which was hacked and cut till
ruined. Mrs. Wizards infants hood
and cloak were also cut up. The police
and neighbors agree that il was the hand
iWork Of woman and one who must live
in the house. Not thing was stolen
although jewelry and other valuables were
exposed, and every act showed an ac-

over the door and reached by some short
person climbing on a chair which was
