At the Hotel Drouot. In Paris, there was
sold by auction. two weeks ago, an interest
Ing piece Of archG logy In the shape OF q
mummy, which proves to be that OF prince
Of the iil-fated i'm perial family OF Montezuma.
The body, inclossd in a large crystal box; was
purchased for 1876 francs by the South Ken
sil9ton Museum. The Montezuma In Ques-
tion was the uncle OF the illustrious cacique
OF that name. Taken prisoner by the Span
iards, he was for many months confined with
his daughter In the Mexican convent Of San
Isidro, and then walled up Ia cell by order
of the inquisttors. The body now presents
the aspect Of a dark, yellow, wooden statue.
Asit stands In It's glass case, one can UNDER
stand the terrible sufferings which the poor
old man underwent In dying. The hands are
crossed and contracted, the cheeks followed,
the eylids closed and wlinkled, and the hair
nearly all gone. The body OF the girl, who
was about twelve years old. Is In perfect
state OF preservation. Her face Is calm, aud
a sweet smile seems TO play about her lips, In
strange inconRruity with her horrible fate.
The papers telling this story are fully au-

Cane and Grape Sugar.

Grape sugar does not necessarily come
from grapes, but there is a material
chemical difference between the two
classes OF sugar. Grape sugar is found
in nearly all kinds of sweet fruits and
in many vegetables, grains, etc., and
can be made from woody fibre, saw
dust. paper, linen or cotton cloth, by
the aid of sulphuric acid. Prof. Kedzie
has been making various valuable in
vestigations and communicates to the
public several useful items. Pure cane
sugar is two and one-haf times as sweet
as grape sugar and yet they are so near
allied that by ordinary means it is diff
cult to distinguish between them.
Cooks. he says, are frequently guilty of
great follies. By cooking, cane sugar
may be changed to grape sugar By
putting sugar in mass of acid fruit
and cooking, it will grow sourer as it
boils, until two and a half times as
much sugar is used to attain the desired
result as it would take if the sugar were
added after the fruit was cooked. Grape
sugar requires one and third parts of
water to dissolve it, while cane sugar
takes only one-third water.-Ioaoa State

Roquefort and Its Cheese.

Fromague de Roquefort had name
in the days of Pliny, and doubtless
formed part OF many Roman banquet
In the Middle Ages Roquefort was In
vested by the Parliament of Toulouse
with the monopoly Of making it, and
although the industry is spread over an
area of twenty miles round, Roquefort
still maintains its ancient position,
making to-day quantity of cheese
nearly twenty times as great as It did at
the beginning of the century. This long
continued prosperity is said to be due
to the extraordinary character OF the
place. The village stands ON the SUM
NIT of a steep hill, whose sides are hon
ey-combed with caverns which the
course of nature has made in the calca-
reous limestone. These caverns, which
in prehistoric times are believed to
have been inhabited by men of the poi
ished-stone period, have for many cen
turtles been used as storehouses, wherein
the cheeses are kept cool during the
summer heat. Attempts to make arti-
fetal caverns elsewhere have not sue.

Dan and the Sugar.

When Dan was small boy, Just bio
enough to run all about, he very soon
found out where, on the lower pantry
shelf, cup of fine white sugar was kept
standing, and he would toddie in there
many times day and help himself.
DANNY mustn't do so!'' his mother
said. sternly, and she whipped the lit
tie, fat, roguish hand, but that didn't
cure him. He only worked more on
the sly.
One day it CHANGED that the SUGAR
was taken away, and cup of salt was
there instead.
Danny stole in, and had Just put his
hand in the cup, when he heard his
mother coming.
Snatching out handful, he crammed
it into his mouth in great haste, and
started to run out.
But oh! what splitting and sputter-
ing there was, and Danny choked till
the tears ran down his cheeks.
1t was the last time he ever tried to
steal sugar Youths Companion.

Rubies and Sapphires in Georgia.

Itinerant mineralogists and our own
citizens have been exploring and min.
ing for rubies and sapphires in this
county during the last four years. The
Sequah mines, owned by w. r. McCon-
nell, of this place, and W. G. Strubbe,
of Cincinnati, Ohio, have yielded many
precious opaque and translucent rubies
nearly all of which have found their
way, through the late Professor Brad
ley and others, into the choice mineral
cabinets of the world. Only few were
found nearly transparent, or from three
to four carats, and these have been set
in jewelry by the present owners. The
proceeds arising from the sale of these
opaque and translucent prisms have
heretofore only paid the expense of
mining, but in short time new meth
cd will be employed for washing these
precious stones out of the alluvial soils
and gravel adjacent to Sequah Creek.
A few days ago Ulysses Grant Ledford,
a boy eleven years old, found large,
deep blue sapphire, perfectly transpa-
rent. in size nearly an inch square, but
wedge shape, weighing thirty-seven
and one-half carats, the largest ever
found in America. w. G. Strubbe, of
Cincinnati. Ohio, is now the owner, by
purchase, of this precious stone, which,
according to Prof. j. d. Dana's method
OF determining the value of precious
stones, is worth $51, POO. BOYS and
girls and grown persons are searching
for others where this was found. The
sapphire is nearly equal to the diamond
in value and hardness. The largest
known sapphire is in Mr.. Hopes En-
glish collection of precious stones, a
crystal formerly belonging to the Jar
din des Plantes, of Paris, for which he
gave $l50,000. Sir Abram Hume also
possesses large crystal. The compo-
sition of sapphire is pure alumina.
Blue is the true sapphire color. When
red it is an oriental ruby, when
green an oriental emerald; when of
other bright tints it receives other
names.-Gainesvills (Ga. Eagle.
